10 Reasons I Love You

I enjoy scrap-booking both with paper and digitally using PhotoShop Elements. I hope to do more of the digital so that I can do a scrap-book about my parents for all their grandchildren. If I make it digitally I can have a copy printed for each of them.

Ali Edwards is a favorite scrap-booking teacher of mine. Currently I am taking an online class with her at Big Picture Classes about scrap-booking yesterday and today. She designs digital templates for scrap-booking that are sold at DesignerDigitals. I purchased the Love You Because layered template to make a book for my husband for Valentine's Day.

The picture below is the front cover of the book. It's a really fun project and could be used for a gift at any time as it is not specific to Valentine's Day in any way. You can do it for a child, a friend or your husband as I did. I know another blogger that did one for each of her children for this past Christmas.

Happy New Year and Valentine's Day is coming!

It's really 2011 already. Our family had a very special holiday season. Drew (23) is studying in Australia. He is in a masters of physical therapy program at University of Sydney. The rest of the family traveled to Sydney to spend Christmas with Drew. We spent 10 days there seeing the sights of Sydney, the Opera House, the beaches, and so much more. Part of the trip we traveled north to Cairns Australia where we snorkeled in the Great Barrier Reef and spent another day in a rain forest. It was amazing!
