ME for President

My digital design business

Don't know what to do with all of those pictures you take of your kids? I DO! I am a digital scrapbook artist. I will take all of your pictures and put them into fun and creative custom scrapbooks made just for you. Then I can e-mail you the files, put them on a CD for you, or actually print them out. I typically design in a 12x12 format but can do any size that you want. Each page will have between 1-5 pictures on it depending on the pictures themselves. I can also do a page layout based on your theme (ex: Hawaii vacation) and send you the page minus pictures that you can just drop your pictures into.

Pricing:
The cost for design is $5 for a 2 page spread for the first ten and $3 each after that. If you want me to use the exact same layout on every page and just change the pictures on it the price is $5 for the layout and $1 a page just for my time of putting all the pictures in. Compared to the cost of $10-20 a page for a traditional paper scrapbook this is a steal! ex: If you ordered a book with 15 unique 2 page spreads your cost would be $65. If you order one 2 page spread with no pictures on it then your cost would be $5 and you can use that spread to add your own pictures as many times as you want. If you order a book of 15 pages that all use the same layout then your cost would be $19

Delivery methods/charges:
If I e-mail you the files there is no additional fee. The cost for a CD is $15. The cost of printing would be based on the number of pages done, quality of paper used, and the type of binding requested.

Shipping: Shipping is available to any location and I would only charge you whatever it costs me to ship. I will provide you with my shipping receipt if desired.

Melon Ball 3

The hubby is gone on a trip to Chicago for the week. He's in the Marine Corps band and they are doing a recruiting tour. Hay hopefully this will mean I can get more work done on designing a new kit or two! Hope you enjoy the third and final part of Melon Ball. Just click on the preview!

Prop 8 and Meon Ball 2

Wow Prop 8 has sure got everyone here in California in a tizzy and lots of people from other states as well. Prop 8 is on the ballot in California this November as a State Constitutional amendment that would legally define marriage as between a man and a woman. I am Pro prop 8. I understand a lot of people are against it and that is fine that is there right. I do not attack and degrade them for their point of view so why do people attack and degrade me for mine? Marriage in human history has always existed for the purpose of the children. Lots of people have very happy fulfilling relationships without being married and having kids. Kudos to them. Since when did marriage become all about the adults and what we want out of it?

Stepping off soapbox now.

Here is part 2 of my kit Melon Ball. Just click on the preview.

Melon Ball Part 1 Backgrounds

I've been working so hard on creating I forgot to update! I've had a lot of fun shopping for commercial use items and I have found some great ones! I especially love the PSP scripts. Big hats off to the people who write those. Maybe some day I'll figure out how to do it. Anyhow here is part one of what I've been working on. This kit is called Melon Ball. Part one is the papers. The embellishments will follow in two parts. Here is the preview

And you can download part 1 here

Cucumber Melon

I have been spending a lot of time learning to use my PSP Photo X2. I got this great book called "Picture yourself learning PSP Photo X2" which has been a great help. I can't seem to figure out though where to save the new beveling tips that I downloaded. It says to save them to my presets folder on the site I downloaded from but all the folders just have numbers and not names so I have no idea which one it is. I wonder if I just save them to the main corel folder if it would find them. hmmm

Cucumber Melon lotion has a lovely smell and the colors on the bottle are wonderful. They have inspired my next kit!! Wish me luck. I'm learning more and more about all the fun stuff I can do in PSP so hopefully this next one will be even better than the first!

My 1st kit!!

I finally did it! My first kit is here. It's not too big because I'm still learning. I'm still proud of myself for finishing it though. I'm starting my classes in Digital Design in October so hopefully these things will just get better and better. Hey at least it's a freebie!

I wanted too do something that I could use for pages of my little boy. Can't seem to find to many boy kits out there. Here's the preview.

Upload it here

Please leave some love! It's my first so I need it lol.

Blocked

I can not believe they blocked my favorite digiscrapping site at work!! Alas I shall have to learn how to survive a full day without my fix. I am still working on my first kit. Hope to have it for you by tomorrow!

Addicting

Making a kit is addicting!! I was up until 11pm last night working on it. I've made 6 papers and about 15 embellishments. I don't think they are amazing or anything though so I'm going to keep working on them. The colors turned out to be red, blue and green. I'm trying to make it good for using on boy pages. There are plenty of girly kits out there but not enough macho stuff in my opinion. Of course this one isn't really macho it's more for the little guys. I hope to have it out by Saturday so wish me luck!

Thrush

My daughter got sent home from daycare yesterday because her teachers saw white spots in her mouth. After 4 hours in the emergency room we got led back to meet the doc. He was ancient!!! He talked really slow like he just wasn't processing thoughts as fast as the rest of us. He diagnosed her with thrush and said "It's not contagious so she can go back to daycare in the morning." I took his note to the daycare and they wouldn't let me drop her off!! "Thrush may not be contagious to adults but it is highly contagious among other babies because they put things in their mouths." Now I have to go back to get a note from a pediatric doctor stating how long she has to be on medication before she is no longer contagious. The most irritating thing is that the daycare just said that she had to have a note to come back. Why couldn't they say "if she has thrush she can't come back for 48 hours." Then I wouldn't have wasted my time trying to drop her off this morning. So now she is sitting on my lap at work while I type this and wait for the Lieutenant to come back from his meeting to tell me if I can go home or if she gets to hang out here all day. grrrrrrr!

the one silver lining: If I get to go home with her I can work on making my first kit!

1st Post

I am so excited!

I have become addicted to digital scrapbooking and now I want to be a designer. I bought Paint Shop Pro PhotoX2 and have a had a ton of fun learning everything it can do. On Friday I got a Graphic Design Tablet to make designing easier. Let me tell you that thing has been a blast to use! As if this isn't all exciting enough on Oct 6th I start classes at American Intercontinental University Online to get my bachelors degree in digital design. I plan to start my first kit today and hope to have it done within the week. It'll be a freebie since it's my first but I hope to make this a real job in the future.
