I Won Something from the EcoScrapbook Blog
9:45 AM Posted by Mommy Is Green
I used to scrapbook a lot with my sister. We shared supplies with each other and chatted away while creating pages. Then my sister moved to another state and it didn't seem as much fun to scrapbook by myself. So I hadn't scrapbooked in quite a while.
Still though, I've kept my interest in scrapbooking. I've been following Danielle's blog, EcoScrapbook. She uses eco-friendly supplies to create not only scrapbook pages but cards and other crafty items like upcycled pencil holders. When Danielle held a giveaway for digital scrapbooking software I had to enter. I figured it would be a great way for me to get back into scrapbooking and have fun again while working on projects alone. Lucky for me I won!!! I was so excited. I downloaded my software right away and starting having a blast with it.
Here's the digital scrapbook page I made with My Memories Suite:
I've never been the artistic type so my pages aren't as fancy as other scrapbookers. But I think I make decent pages at least. No matter what, I still have fun. Plus, I really like the fact that I can email my pages to family. Instead of sending plain photos, I can dress them up on a page.
If you're interested in learning more about green scrapbooking both digitally and with eco-friendly paper/supplies, be sure to check out EcoScrapbook.

I used to work at Michaels and I always stayed away from scrapbooking, everyone says is so addictive and I didn't want to spend all my pay check in the store.. lol
This will be a very nice way to get into it since I always wanted to be a scrapbooker!..
Thanks for sharing your prize and Danielle's blog.. I'm checking it out after this

You're page is beautiful! I tried scrapbooking years ago and just couldn't get into it. I've kept some supplies that we can use for homeschool projects, but sold most everything else. Very nice that you can email your creations!
