AE : Inspirations

Hi Ali,
Have you read the book A Million Miles in a Thousand Years by Donald Miller? It's about "story." You might enjoy it. I thought it was a fascinating non-fiction book.

Love the paperless ideas/link!
I would like to know how you organize your digital product. I would also be interested in your step-by-step process, from getting the picture off your card through editing & saving, then adding to your digital page.
Thanks for sharing!

I have loved looking at your hybrid pages for 2 years now. I finally received PSE8 (I'm on a Mac) for Christmas. I have tried a few times to sit down and play, but every time I do I get more frustrated! I also keep my photos in iPhoto and am not quite sure how to get them into PSE without dragging the onto the desktop and picking them up from there.Any instruction would be wonderful!
As for Anna's photo's from yesterday and today, too much cuteness, I can hardly stand it! It makes me want just 1 more :)

I know how powerful your amazing blog is and I have a favor to ask...
My dad and my whole family on his side are in Haiti right now and the situation over there is catastrophic.
Anything you can do here on your blog to call your readers to help the people of Haiti, will be a Godsend.
Please do.
Thanks in advance!!

I did and I loved it. It was one of my inspirations for my word this year. I finished it a few weeks back and am planning on reading it again.

Oh, Ali, thank you so much for doing a post on digi scrapping! I feel like I'm a pretty confident computer user, but digital scrapbooking is very intimidating to me. One thing I'd love to know is a glossary of terms - brushes, overlays, stamps etc. - and when they are used. Thanks!

Can't wait for your digi tips. I want to do more with PS Elements but I just get so overwhelmed when I try that I give up. I can't even imagine if I were using regular PS and not the scaled down Elements!

HI Ali - While I'm not new to scrapbooking, I am new to digital scrapbooking. I recently bought Photoshop Elements 8 for Mac, and hoping your posts on getting started with digital scrapbooking includes some hints for this! I'm really excited about learning about this. Thanks!

Thank you for you post today!! The good grief blog is just what I to needed to get started. My 2 month old nephew was murdered in our home a lil over a year ago and I wanted a way to have his memory on paper with pictures but never really wanted to get started. Thank you for the great ideas.

2 iPhone Apps I like - Photoshop and Project 365. . .simple and useful :)

Digi-schmidgi, green-schmeen. What I want to know is how do you keep your laundry area so CLEAN? Mine is so linty/dusty I won't let my baby near it.

My question is, do you have to have expensive software to do digital? Is there a shareware program that is compatible with digital kits? Looking forward to learning more! :)

another great alternative to paper towels are the Skoy cloth! Amazing! Here's the info about them:

I bought mine from reusablebags.com

Am thrilled that you will be posting on beginning digital scrapbooking as I am considering going in that direction. Please keep us newbies in mind, especially those who are not computer geniuses! :-)

Hi, Ali! I am behind the times, I suppose, by just having a razr phone, so the camera is not that great, but I recently just printed all the pics off my phone. I had a lot, and while the quality is not that great on some of them, the memories behind the photos bring a smile to my face every time I see them.
I carry my camera with me, but there are times when I take a pic with my phone because I want to send it. Now I am deleting them off to start over again. And one of these days I'll get a new phone with a better camera, but until then, I'll keep clicking.
Have a great weekend!

I am a advocate for paper towels. Paper towels are great for germlessness. I lived in the lumber world and so I am totally insensitive to that issue because in places we need more logging. Everything else aside from toilet paper is cloth, but personally I believe that paper towels are almost better for the environment.

I love to hear that you are also using Becky Higgins Project Life this year...You are my two favorite scrapbooking people (drinking a cup of coffee and reading both your blogs each morning is part of my "me time"!). So to hear you are also doing Project Life is really ironic! Inspired by you, I've been thinking of ways to incorporate my stories into Project Life. I'd really enjoy reading how you are combining both ideas in a future blog. Thanks for all your great ideas -- you always give me lots to think about!

Hi, I just went to Good Grief and I feel so blessed that I have foudn a site that after 29 years maybe I can finally scrapbook about my loss and my grief and let it go for good....I know that is what my folks would have wanted. Thank you for mentioning this blog! My one little word id "DO" and it is going to happen in many ways for me this year. I just know it! Thank you for all of this!

Looking forward to your digi post Ali! And thanks for the link to Simple Mom. I love the concept of paperless kitchen and I think we're almost there :)

Thank you for posting about Amanda Probst's "Good Grief" site ... I think I will find it healing (the grief can be heavy at times). And I do believe my angel led me to read your blog today just so I would see that particular posting. For some reason I hadn't taken the time to read your blog much in the last 6 months, but thought I would do so this morning - and there was "Good Grief"; that is a good thing - just the blessing I needed. Thanks.
just me - ncc
