Welcome to My Embroidery Hobby!

Hello! Welcome to my blog. This is the place where I do a little of a lot. I am not really fantastic at one thing or hobby, only okay at a bunch of little things. But that is what makes it fun! I am also a major copycat crafter. I find things I like and then make my own, I rarely come up with good ideas on my own. So Thank You to all you crafters out there who give me great ideas and projects to do!

Preview of First Attempts

So I have gotten into the hobby of digital scrapbooking. Wow, so much fun. Especially if you have Photoshop Elements 8. Learning curve! But so many possibilities. I thought it would be fun to post a few of my favorite pages. I don't think I am the normal scrapbooker though, I like to put lots of pictures on one page instead of 2 or 3. I feel as if I am wasting money only doing a few pictures.
Before I upgraded to Photoshop Elements 8, I had a scrapbook program called My Memories Sweet, which I really liked and enjoyed working with. Simple and yet produced quality work. These first few pages are with My Memories Sweet.
One of the best things about digital scrapbooks is NO mess to clean up. I know many people like to get out all their little nick-nacks, but I just find it messy and a hassle. Especially with my 19 month old daughter running around. So, this way I download images off the internet - I think I have about 30 kits and haven't paid for a single one! You just have to keep looking around and look for great FREE deals. Anywho, download, open in program, and arrange them on a page. I then order from Costco and pick them up. Love it.
