My kids have always shown an interest in taking pictures and scrapbooking, so hubby and I have passed down our Sony Digital Still Camera MVC-FD81 in favor for the more compact Kodak Easy Share C813, I love it so far, the instructions are fairly easy to follow, and the quality of the pictures are much better.

With keeping with the theme of photos, I dug up some old photos of the kids, and using a Disney instant page (a page already put together and the only chore is slapping down those pictures) they created a page each for their albums which I am ashamed to admit have been neglected since the wonder of digital scrapbooking.

Baby steps for now to see how much they enjoy it, and hopefully we can progress to them creating their own layouts from scratch, and digital scrapping.

Sitepoint is offering their Photoshop book for a limited time FREE.
I just downloaded my copy, now while I don’t have Photoshop now,
I am keeping hope alive that I will buy it one day soon, and it serves
as a great resource for other graphics programs.

Hurry over, it is only available for a few more days.

Today was Harry’s class field trip to the zoo, and it was a blast. Of course I was exhausted after sharing the duties of chaperoning 4 energetic-7 year olds, but it was great to see their enthusiasm and excitement at seeing the animals. Before today we had only been to one other zoo in Ft. Worth, TX and with a 1-month old fussing at the heat we didn’t get to enjoy as much. as we did today

Of course we came away with tons of pictures, and I had been agonizing on how to display as many pictures as I could without slowing down my whole system, when BAMM! Nessa at Nessa’s Place posted her zoo adventures with her family today in lieu of an early Mother’s Day Treat.

My bamm moment was Smilebox, a fun way to share photo’s and videos with premade scrapbook layout, giving your final product an interactive scrapbook!

This is definitely at the top of my to-do list tomorrow (tonight I have to hit the books, classes are back in session), and I hope you my visitors will have fun with it as well.
