Keepsakes

Lately I've been going back through old photos. One of my biggest regrets is that I didn't know how to use my camera when my kids were little. But...through the magic of digital processing, I can now take those unfocused, overexposed and badly composed images and turn them into something special to me.

Everything in these galleries were created using photoshop with supplies from these two online stores:

Kimberly, I absolutely do not like photos with writing on them. I have always thought either a photo stands on its own or it does not. OK, that said, you have changed my mind. What you have done is made shadowboxes of memories, scraps, pictures, and warmth. Almost too much but not. I think what you have is great and I wish that someone loved me this much. I guess they do but cannot show it the way you do. Very special stuff. Voted, Ells

Beautiful gallery. Although I am mostly into nature/scenic/outdoor photography this gallery caught my eyed. Maybe someday I will have to collect the snapshots of my kids and try something like this. You have a beautiful family.

These are incredible. Please, please, PLEASE send me an email giving me some insight into how you achieve these layouts. Do you create everything from scratch, use digital scrapbooking software or pages and build...etc? I would LOVE to start creating some like these for my girls. Judy.Pochard @cbws.com
