This week we had a break from the heat and with Fall just around the corner it got me excited about my favorite season approaching! I wanted to share a layout I did on our trip to the Apple Orchard last fall. Its hard to believe a year has come and gone! Time sure does fly and the kiddos are growing so fast. That’s what I love about these pages…capturing the moments that come and go so quickly. Enjoy!

I said I would never do it. I said it just wasn’t the same. And yet I have downloaded my first Digital Scrapbooking software. Being new to the digital scrapbooking world I was overwhelmed as I saw all the software available. I did know that I wanted the experience to be similar to traditional scrapbooking. I wanted different “papers” and “embellishments” available to layer and basically the ability to customize and create. I found My Memories Suite and decided to go with it! It was relatively inexpensive and it offers endless papers and embellishments to download to the suite if so desired. For now I’ll just use what is available in the suite as I play
Here is what my “playing” came up with last night.
SOme things I like about digital vs traditional scrapbooking is….
1. No mess
2. Redos are super easy
3. Saving as a jpeg is a breeze
4. I can do it anywhere!
Some things I don’t like about digital vs traditional scrapbooking is….
1. Where’s my scrappin girlfriends?
2. No cricut, no stamp pads, no stamps
3. I’m new to it so it still feels clumsy
4. I have no idea how to print this thing??
Bottom line – a great alternative when life is busy
One of my favorite parts about scrapbooking is getting together with scrappin’ girlfriends and doing what we do best – scrap! I did just that this last Friday. We visited, munched on food, watched Breakfast Club and I was able to get a few 2010 layouts completed. It had been a long week at work and I was pretty tired by 10pm. So not a long night, but definitely a fun night!
“Family Fun” is a layout of our trip to Lake McBride last August. I love the picture in the top right hand corner of the right side layout. It’s the kids holding hands and walking into the water --- awww -- love it! <3
I got a few snapshots of the kids before heading to the schools to register.
“Aldrich Teamwork” is a short story about how keeping our house clean requires the participation of everyone in the family! THe left side page has snapshots of our house when its messy. The right side page shows our lovely home when its sprakly clean! We all pitch in on most Saturday mornings and “get’r done”

I am slowly making my way through 2010. The hardest part is finding time with my busy schedule to scrapbook. That’s why I love attending a monthly crop a good friend of mine hosts. Last week I attended one of these and had a great time with 10 other scrapbooking girlfriends! I also managed to get some layouts done

Last summer we had an awesome family vacation in Branson, MO. I made a scrapbook album of our trip.
