September & October 2018 Pocket Pages

I'm well caught up with my pocket pages for 2018. Usually at this point in the year I'm somewhat behind in the decorating process, but for a few reasons this year I'm caught up to the current week.

The first reason is that I've been enjoying making little videos about my decorating process. You can find that video collection here.

The second reason is that I wanted to get Magnus's First Year album finished. Initially I wasn't really sure if I wanted to do something, but part way through the year I realized I could easily modify my weekly spreads into an album for Magnus. By deleting some photos and moving others, I merged my layouts from 2018 into a project just about him. I figure someday in the future he might like to have a few photo books to have himself, but he's probably not going to want an entire year by year collection. So I've got his finished first year album, and I plan to continue with this edit method for the future, to create a few spreads every year just for him. I don't plan to print these photo books out until/if he shows some sort of interest in having his own collection. But that's one of the benefits of digital, you can make as many copies as you want.

Here are my pages from September and October:

About Me

Hi There! I’m Marisa Lerin and you’ll see me around at DigitalScrapbook.com a lot. I started this site in 2010 soon after I discovered a new love in digital scrapbooking. DigitalScrapbook.com has gone through some significant changes since that time and it’s grown into this lovely community site you are seeing now. I am daily surprised by the turn of life’s events that has led me down this path. If you're new to the site, welcome! Here are a few tidbits about me that I hope will help you get to know me better!

I’m originally from Minnesota, USA, but spent a good chunk of my childhood living abroad (in Bolivia and Hong Kong). I returned to Minnesota to attend university, got married and then moved overseas again (Korea, then Jordan and 1 year of traveling). My designs are heavily influenced by these many nomadic years. I am currently back in the USA, now living in the great state of Oregon!

I have no official training for what I’m doing, since I decided very wisely (haha) to study physics in university. I am always learning new things about digital scrapbooking, and this community has been immensely helpful for that!

If I manage to stop digital scrapbooking you will probably find me watching TV, reading or baking. I also enjoy writing for the blog here at DigitalScrapbook.com where I talk about whatever happens to be catching my fancy at the moment.
