Digital scrapbooking has its ups and downs. Yesterday, my computer was very slow and it was extremely frustrating. Last night I solved those issues by clearing my cache and freeing up some ROM or RAM or whichever it is that helps that stuff.
TODAY was definitely an UP. I've done 3 digital cards now and I'm starting to feel like I know a little bit about it now. Here's the COOL part--we came home from our vacation today and I made this card ON THE PLANE!!!! Way cool! A much nicer way to spend the time in the air than trying to read or sleep. (I don't know, I can't ever read or sleep well on a plane.)
Anyway, about the card--it's pretty straightforward. The newsprint is the result of an online search for digital newsprint graphics. It's the same newsprint I used on my card on Monday. The daisies were digi *stamped* with Baja, then offset and digi *stamped* with soft suede. The sentiment was done the same way, but has a third layer--Crumb Cake on top.
Finally--I made another digital discovery today. My favorite digi cards are going to be the Sketch Challenges. Why? Because after I've made one, the hardest part is done. Now I can re-use this card I made--the sketch part and change out colors, papers, and stamps and have a whole new card!

Okay, I have been hearing and seeing a lot of this "new digital" stuff everyone seems to be talking about - and I guess I am going to have to research it - cuz I LOVE your card. Your colors are great and I love the newsprint in the background. Into my favs - TFS

I'm impressed too! I am so NOT a computer person, guess I have to stick with the long version of stamping and making cards! This would be so much FUN though, whether flying or driving! It looks AWESOME!
