You can design your digital scrapbook pages many different ways depending on what type of project youre working on. In this tutorial well discuss designing digital scrapbook pages for one specific event and will be using a trip to the zoo as an example.
How to design digital scrapbook pages step #1: Narrow down your pictures Lets say you went to the zoo with your children and took 50 pictures. Youre not going to use all the pictures, so the first step is picking out your favorite ones and getting rid of the mess ups.
How to design digital scrapbook pages step #2: Sort your pictures Once youve narrowed down your pictures, go through and sort the remaining pictures according to some sort of criteria. This could be anything from sorting the pictures according to who is in each picture, to which animal is in the picture. Since were using a trip to the zoo as our example, you could sort out all the pictures with monkeys in them, and tigers, and alligators, etc.
How to design digital scrapbook pages step #3: Decide on the number of pages Once youve sorted the pictures, itll be much quicker and easier to decide on the number of pages youll be creating. I like using an average of 3 pictures per page. Some will have more, and some will have less, but 3 is a good starting point.
How to design digital scrapbook pages step #4: Figure out your layouts Once you know the number of pages, and which pictures youre going to use, you can start creating your layouts based on the pictures in each group. I like having a couple pages with 1 main picture, leading to pages with 5 or 6 pictures. And once you know how many pictures will be on a page, its much easier to create a layout.
How to design digital scrapbook pages step #5: Adding your embellishments Once you have your pictures laid out, you can go back through and add your embellishments. This is one of the main reasons I like digital scrapbooking so much. Its so easy to customize your embellishments to fit around your pictures. Just remember not to overload your pages with embellishments. The more pictures you have on a page, the fewer embellishments you should use.
Now youre ready to print it out! And that is a quick and easy way of designing digital scrapbook pages.

For it is Gods plan !
There once was a young couple who lived in a beautiful town. They had the best of everything. Their love was strong and real. When their first child was born she was the most beautiful child they had ever seen.The couple believed their life to be perfect.
One day when their Daughter was about seven years old the Couple was in a car crash.Checking his wife right away the husband was relived to see she was ok. They both had received only a few scratches.They turned to check on their young daughter and as soon as they saw her both of them burst into tears.The wife started screaming NO GOD ! PLEASE GOD NO ! Their pain was felt by anyone and everyone who happened to be around them that day. The Beautiful young child had passed on and left this world .
During the funeral the deceased child’s mother kept asking why ? Why my child? oh dear Lord why? People paying there respects to this wonderful couples most beautiful child tried to console her. They told her things like “It is the Lords will” and “She is in Heaven now” These things did not help the child’s Mother and she cursed God Saying to the People “There is no God” for if there was such a God how could he allow something so terrible to happen? Surely he would have saved my child and she would still be here with us!!
Years passed by as they always do and the pain this Couple felt started to ease. They had more children over the years, all very beautiful None quite as beautiful as their first one.Their life went back to being as close to perfect as can be.But Every time the women heard something bad had happened in the world it reinforced her belief that there was no God and no Heaven up above,For surely no God would allow such terrible things to happen in this world !!!
One day as the Woman was walking to the store she heard these screams “NO LORD PLEASE LORD NO” The tone of the screams took her back to the death of her child and she ran toward the sound of them. She saw the woman who was screaming and behind her she could see a building on fire, My Child is in there Screamed the woman! Pointing to the building engulfed in flames. Knowing the pain this woman would go threw and not wishing it on anyone she raced into the building. Flames shot at her and she could feel them burning her but the pain was some where else and did not hurt her .As the flames got larger and the heat got much hotter the woman thought this is what hell must be like! Then she thought but there is no hell for if there is No God and No Heaven then there can’t be a Hell can there? These thoughts passed threw the woman’s mind as she felt herself begin to grow tired.
As She felt herself about to pass out the Women saw a child in the distance and with new found strength she started walking towards the child. As she got closer she could see it was the most beautiful young girl she had ever seen . When she reached the child the child spoke hello mother it is I your Daughter the one killed in that car accident those many years ago.
No the Woman said you are gone your Dead. Dead yes I may be Mother but gone no I have never left you .I have always been in your heart and you in mine. But I am with the Father now in the most Wonderful Kingdom imaginable. With who? asked the Woman , The Father God answered the child the one you denounced upon my death. No said the woman there can’t be a GOD or a heaven For surely no God would allow the Terrible things to Happen that happen upon this earth. Terrible things are done by terrible people answered the child and they will answer for their sins in the afterlife have no fear of that my Mother, The Lord will see that justice is done.
But what of you asked the Mother you where not taken from me by a terrible person it was an accident why did the Lord take you from me. The Child smiled at her Mother and spoke Mother what you see as the most terrible thing ever is not. For I am in the Kingdom of the Lord and there is no greater reward then that ! My life on Earth was short Mother, I agree with you on that but Mother let me let you in on a little secret “All life on Earth is short” It is just a blink of the eye to the Father. Miss me Mother for I know you always will, But have faith in the Father for if you believe in him and follow his words you will be with me again one day and then you will feel no pain or sorrow ever again. The Mother reached down picked up her child closing her eyes and hugging the child to her bosom, She heard a voice that was not her Daughters say “I will always Love you my Child”
The woman opened her eyes and she saw lights and heard sirens and the voices of many people. Not sure what was going on she looked down at her child only to see that she was not holding her child but a small young boy. The Woman who she had seen screaming was grabbing for this child saying Thank you oh thank you Lord for sending this Woman to rescue my Child ,In my heart Lord I always knew you would save him, for surely you would never allow something so terrible to happen !!!!

Wish every mother a very happy Mother’s Day and enjoy this wonderful day with your beloved kids! That must be great fun!
For all daddies, you must also have an enjoyable Mother’s Day with your most lovely wife as she gives you a lovely family, you are so lucky!
Have you ever thought of why Mother’s Day seems to be more important than Father’s Day? Daddies are also very hard-working and love the kids, but relatively less people fetch gifts for father on Father’s Day. Daddies, thinking that’s not fair!? But there are of course reasons for that.
In general, women love to celebrate festivals more than men, of course particularly for Mother’s Day which is for mothers! Men are relatively less sensitive and care less about the celebrate Father’s Day or not. Most fathers show less interest in celebrating Father’s Day than mothers towards Mother’s Day. You can try this out with your parents!
We tend to respect daddy but we usually love mummy more. Most fathers are out for work all day and cannot have much time to accompany us in compare with mummy. That is why we seem to love mummy more, but we do respect daddy. Actually both of them are adorable!
For me, I believe the phenomenon exists as mothers have more roles to take than fathers. Generally, fathers take the role as a father, a husband, a son and an employee; mothers take the role as a mother, wife, a daughter, an employee and one more, a “maiden”!
Although I love my mum, sometimes I just can’t stop myself from asking my mum to do things for me. “Mummy, would you please get me a cup of drink?”, “Mummy, would you please iron my uniform for me?”, “Mummy, would you please….” I dare not to do this to dad…
So Mother’s Day seems more important than Father’s Day. But of course, daddy I love you too! So let us have a nice Mother’s Day together!
Are you looking for something different as a gift for a kid? Do you want to give them something unique and not something generic which someone else already probably has got them? Wall Stickers may be the answer with the product improving dramatically over the last few years.
A few years ago wall stickers were only removeable. What this meant is when you stuck them to a wall your wall sticker could be taken off without taking off paint. However you could not use them again. However wall stickers are now repositionable. What this means is wall stickers can be used time and time again on different wall surfaces without affecting the quality of the product. How good is that?
Wall Stickers were previously printed onto a gloss vinyl stock. The disadvantage of this was that it stood out and did not suit walls. However wall stickers are now printed onto a matt fabric. This looks stylish on any wall and does not stand out in a bad way. Wall Stickers are also now more child friendly being water and tear resistant.
Wall Stickers are printed digitally. What this means for childrens presents is that wall stickers can be printed with any graphic or artwork. For example there are educational wall stickers such as the alphabet. Or there are also decorative wall stickers for girls such as fairytale characters and for boys there are car wall stickers.
The great thing about wall stickers is that they suit any budget and purpose. If you only have a few dollars to spend you can purchase individual wall sticker characters such as a car or alien in 3 different sizes. If you want to decorate a room and want value for money you can purchase wall sticker theme kits. Wall Sticker kits include a bundle of individual wall stickers which rane in size such as the alphabet.
Wall Stickers are a good alternative to traditional toys. The next time you are looking for that something special for a young loved one keep an eye out for wall stickers. Wall Stickers have come a long way over the last few years and are sure to be a hit.

Flowers have always been a part of the traditional wedding since early times. Wedding flowers define the tune of a wedding and also provide a wedding with beauty, style, and charisma. They are not only beautiful in aesthetic value, but are also considered as the right tool to convey emotions and appreciation. They’re beautiful and they are symbol of joyful celebration, prosperity and fertility contributing to the atmosphere of love joining the bride and groom’s lives together.
Flowers can adorn almost any part of the wedding process - the church or civil office, every possible nook and cranny of the wedding venue and as gifts and presents to special people on the day. Flowers for the wedding can also be used as a bridal floral accessory. They may be in the bride’s wedding flower bouquet, bridesmaid’s floral bouquet, they may adorn the bride’s and her attendants’ hair, they may be simple dashes of color on the groom’s and the groomsmen’s lapels, or they can adorn the wedding cake.
It can be really overwhelming when you first start thinking about flowers for your wedding. They may consume a lot of the plan and decide on which flowers to choose since the selection of wedding flowers is certainly vast. So, it is important to know what flowers are appropriate and what they represent in order to make the right choice. Next to the reception, flowers are the most expensed category in a bridal couple’s budget. Hence, it is useful to set a reasonable budget for wedding flowers as they will brighten up and enhance any wedding. Wedding flowers can cost several hundred dollars up to several thousand dollars.
Knowing what flowers are in season at the time of your wedding could save you a lot of money. So, do some research about the types of flowers that will be in season when your wedding is to take place. Prices can be higher and blooms more difficult to find if the fresh wedding flowers you pick are rare, exotic, or out-of-season. In addition to making your wedding more expensive, the color of out of season flowers will not be as beautiful and brilliant as if they were in season.
If you need to save some cash and have a hard time finding fresh flowers, you might want to choose an artificial silk flower. The great advantage with these types of flowers is that they can be kept after the wedding to serve as a reminder of the perfect day. They can be chosen and ordered in advance without the problem of the flowers wilting.
In choosing the color scheme of your wedding flowers, you should know the overall color scheme of your wedding. The wedding’s color scheme needs to be considered so that the types of flowers to be picked accent the bride’s wedding dress, bridesmaids outfits, groom’s and attendant’s attire. The colors of the wedding flowers should also match and blend with the dcor and the general scheme of wedding. It is also important to choose wedding flowers that are favorites of the bride and groom. The wedding floral arrangement should reflect the preference of the wedding couple. The wedding is a special day for the couple and selecting those flowers will help make the wedding a great success.
You might want to consider doing your own flower arrangements if you are very hands on with a limited budget. But since weddings are hectic and demanding, it is better to leave the arrangements of flowers to florists. They will be able to give you great ideas for flower color, and floral design and style. It is crucial to exercise caution to choose a competent and creative florist with the abundant use of flowers throughout the wedding ceremony and reception. It is a good idea to look for a florist with a lot of experience with wedding arrangements. You can ask referrals from friends and family and make sure you don’t just take their word for it; you should see their previous work. You can search online to find a good florist in your area.
When you go on a hunt for wedding flowers, make certain you visit a reputed flower shop. It is best to select the flower shop having years of experience with wedding arrangements. Another thing to consider is that you should get your order be booked earlier since flowers ordered in haste will neither be to taste and will nor be economical. There are many online flower stores and online florist offering flower delivery services that provide large range of flowers for your special day.
