Whilst reading over at Alison's she had completed a mood/layout challenge and I liked the layout idea, so I borrowed the page layout and gave it a go.
Still not 100% happy with it but liking it more with time.

Trial, Error and Inspiration
I am new to scrap booking, so always on the look out for inspiration and also just a general guide on how to layout on the page nicely.

Desktop Layouts
I am still pretty new when it comes to scrap booking.
I have stored up quite a collection of papers and embellishments from the internet.
Did you know there are some amazing places to get free items for your library?
The place I obtained my layout for this blog also has some desktop pictures for you to download and use to make the computer look pretty. In December and January I downloaded and used the ones they had. They were cute but they had the date on them, well the calendar dates anyway.
Whilst checking out the February layout I suddenly realised that there was no reason why I couldn't make my own, I mean I do have a scrap book programme on the computer!
So that is what I did, I sat and designed my own desktop layout.
This one was my first layout and whilst I love the delicate detail of the lace and flowers, the spotty paper was not the best to use with desktop icons. Difficult to view them with all the spots!
This one I went for a more solid colour paper so the icons would show better, mainly because my husband complains if he can't see the icons too well, but I must admit a really light colour on the background does make for a difficult screen to view, however this grey works really well.
Now I will get creative and come up with something for March.

Christmas layout
I finally have 5 minutes to sit and try out further things with my photo storage programme.
Memory Manager 3.0 by Creative Memories
It can do wonderful things as I discovered today. There is also an update available to 4.0, that will get downloaded soon to my computer!
That meant I just had to do a layout with the picture I scanned.
This is the boys with Santa in 2009! I know, an old picture but so easy to work with....
Not sure I like the numbers I used for the date. Will go back and play with some others I have. Unfortunately I am fussy and things have to look perfect. These numbers just don't quite fit with the overal look for my liking. Funny how you see these things after you have posted it!!
