I finally did it! I printed my very first digital scrapbook. I remember when I use to explain digital scrapbooking to people, they'd say, "Digital?...does that mean you just look at them on the computer?" And I'd have to tell them you could but the point is to have it printed and have a BOOK. I mean, it is called scrapBOOKing even if there is the word "digital" in front of it.
So after not quite 2 years as a digital designer, here I am with my very first book. I kept it really cohesive by only using certain colors and elements. I stuck to the Sproutlets papers & accessories, the Imprints collection, and the PhotoCuts collection. I was COMPLETELY impressed with the quality of the book (even the hard bound outside looked AMAZING). I had it printed at My Pic Tales. I'll be sure to be doing a lot of printing with them in the future. I need to do a few books for Christmas and senidng out for books through these guys was a snap!
I got the book just in time for DSE, Digital Scrapbooking Experience! If you haven't registered for Tips and Tricks in Illustrator, but are attending the event, you can register at the door. I'm also gearing up for Digit Alley on Thursday night. We'll be doing a fun make-and-take at my table. I've been busily having my lovely silhouette cut out little flowers for me. Another surprise? Jen Allyson will be showing up to help me with the class and the make-and-take table!
