Hey I gave it a try ...

Digi scrapping I mean, as you may or may not know already, I now have my own monthly challenge blog, that launched last Saturday called The Cupboard Trilogy 
Well, the challenges are for cardmakers, scrapbookers & digi scrappers, anyway, the card & scrap Design Teams produced not only fabulous cards & scrapbook LO's, but they decided to have a play with digi scrapping as well, to boost the DT input [because we only have 2 people in the dedicated digi team at the moment]

Anyway, they were making it look so easy that I thought "Hey, I'll give it a try too" so I did. Further down my blog page you can see my very 1st attempt, which is nice but very plain & simple.
Then I thought I would create a digi using the Colour Chart prompt, which is the theme for this months TCT challenge!

This is my 15yr old stepdaugher Daisy during her 1st professional photo shoot. She was pleased with the photos taken so much that at long last she is actually seeing for herself how pretty her beautiful red hair. Until this photo was taken she like many girls & women just wanted to dye it a different colour, I think now she is thinking differently!


It's still a very simple design, I haven't worked out how to get anymore technical at creating layers ect. but, in truth I am not sure I will bother,because although I am finding it a fun thing to do, for me personally it can never take the place of cardstock & glue :)

Thank you for visiting today, I really do appreciate it & I read all comments & try to visit your blog in return :)

This is lovely - my niece has the exact same hair colour and it really does stand out from the crowd!! As for digi scrapping why not mix the two and do some hybrid pages? I love the shadow tool to create depth etc but like you I just love my paper and glue ;o) xxx

This is a lovely layout. Not bad for a first timer ;) Like you said, it never beat the paper scrapping. But as for me I just love digital scrapping when I barely have time to paper-scrap!! Lol!

P/s: Thanks for following my humble blog. I'm following yours too. I'm interested to apply the digital scrapper position if it's still open :)
