Digital Scrapbooking

Happy Monday,
I hope you all had a fantastic Easter!

Today we are doing a little digital scrapbooking. Basic Grey contacted me and asked if I would do a review of their Digital Scrapbooking kits. Of course I said yes! It's Basic Grey for cryin' out loud!

anyway....

It was really hard to pick what kit I was going to work with.....I loved them all but I had to narrow it down to one, so I decided to go with the Phoebe Starter kit and a few add ons. All the stuff that comes with these kits is amazing! Papers, rub-ons, ribbons, buttons, overlays and more. So much to choose from and the possibilities are endless.

What I loved most about this collection was how I can take it from a layout of my 16 year old gorgeous niece to my 8 year old son on the trampoline.

Here is my niece. How fast she is growing up......


And my son doing his favorite spring/summer activity......


I really had a lot of fun working with this kit and I'm certainly gonna work with it some more.



Hugs,

Super cute layouts. Will you help the winner to figure out what to do with a digi kit? For that matter, I might as well ask...help me! I would love a tutorial into the world of digi from you.

Love the layouts. Digiscrapbooking is fun, but you need a large printer if you have 12 x 12 albums. Luckily I do! Thanks for the chance.

Nice layouts. I'm not at all familiar with digi scrapping, what exactly did you do on the computer? The layouts look "normal" to me. (Nice normal :)) I mean they don't look computer printed or anything. JLekan at gmail.com

Hi Christina...this is a request rather than a comment. (I don't use digital layouts) I was hoping you could do some videos with the Straight from the Nest Cart.. I just discovered your blog today and I love it. A friend of mine found you and we love your helpful videos. You are very creative and a great inspiration, thank you!

Basic Grey digital!!! Wow this could really come in handy as I am due to have a baby girl any moment, and with a toddler already not sure when I will get the time to get away for awhile. This would give me the oppertunity to continue and use the awsome Basic Grey Collection!!

Does your printer do 12"x12" or are these smaller. They'er so pretty. I've been afraid to do digital because of getting the quality of color.
