Digital Scrapbooking - Cubbie's Birth

I use to be a paper (traditional) scrapbooker. I did really well keeping up with it up until Sprout was six months old. Then I suppose life got in the way. About a year or two ago, I discovered how much easier it is to digital scrapbook by using Photoshop Elements. However, I still didn't make much progress in trying to catch up with documenting our family's memories.

Now with a third child on the way, I have made it a priority to try to get caught up. One thing I first wanted to do is get Cubbie's birth scrapped. I felt mama guilt over not having scrapped his early days at all! Here are two of the pages that I like the most:
Cubbie was three days early and only weighed 5 pounds, 3 ounces. I just love these pics because he's wearing his little preemie outfit.

I love the look on hubby's face in this one. It's a contentment and love only a proud daddy can have!

Do YOU scrapbook (paper or digi)? 
How do YOU keep up?

  2. I started digitally scrapbooking afer my 3rd baby was born. It works out so much better for me. I love that when I am done scrapbooking for the day, all I have to do is click save.

  5. Soooooo cute!

    My answer is yes and no. It's been a while that's for sure. I've only tried the paper version because the digitals seemed so expensive to print.

    Where to you print yours and what sizes do you print?

  6. What a little peanut! So precious! And I thought Lily was small at 6 lbs. 5 oz.

    I love to do paper scrapbooking, but I am so behind I haven't even done my wedding yet! I have done some random pages, though, since my wedding.

  10. I totally have NOT kept up. That's partly why I blog, so someday I'll remember what on earth happened. Note I'm not blogging much. I'm in big trouble!
    (However I do make a yearly photo album for each of our parents and then combine them to make one for us on Shutterfly...so I guess the could count)

  11. I just found your blog and so impressed with your digital pages for the birth of your son in the scrapbook. I am doing both scrapbooking (paper) and some digital...yup..little behind on my second son...life gets in the way. My question about the beautiful layout...did you make all the elements or was this something you bought and I over looked. I've been looking for a long long time and this one really caught my eye. I would love to know how I can obtain this page of lovely elements and sorta follow your beautiful format/sketch. Thank you. Guess baby # 3 is here or almost here.
