New Year’s has the reputation of being the best time to create New Year’s resolutions and personal goals as a fresh, brand-new year approaches. We here at Digital Scrapbooks and More think that any time is a good time for positive, healthy change; but we also can’t help but feel especially inspired for new goals, hopes, and dreams as 2009 quickly approaches!
So instead of doing things the old-fashion-way (scribbling down your precious New Year’s Resolutions on an old, random notepad), why don’t you digitally scrap them? I did; and it gave me a whole new perspective on creating special, personal goals! Creating a “dream” page with visuals of my goal combined with notes, phrases, and messages in a beautiful digital scrapbooking project; will visually remind me of what I want to achieve and why I was so inspired to achieve it in the first place!
Because I usually try to come up with several New Year’s Resolutions each year, I wanted to spend more time on thinking of creative goals, and less time worrying about setting-up the digital scrapbooking layout. I used the Goals and Resolutions Quick Page Kit, which is a kit full of easy-to-use, fast-to-scrap Quick Pages! ~Click Here to Purchase the Goals and Resolutions Quick Page Kit! All I had to do was throw in a few photos, and I was practically finished! It was great!
Now, if you don’t know how to use Quick Pages, you are seriously missing out. Quick Pages are exactly that…quick! Quick Pages are basically pre-designed digital scrapbooking layouts. All the papers, frames, even embellishments have been designed as a permanent page. Don’t get me wrong, it’s great to create your own digital scrapbooking layouts, but sometimes when you’re pressed for time, or just like in this case with my New Year’s Resolutions, I wanted to spend more time thinking of goals and just scrap fast! But I would have never known how to use Quick Pages, let alone how to digital scrapbook in general, if I didn’t use the Digital Scrapbooks and More Getting Started Series Training. ~ Click Here to Purchase the Getting Started Series Tutorial Training in Photoshop Elements or Photoshop. There is even an entire Lesson in the Getting Started Series (which is split into two parts, Part A and Part B) that focuses entirely on using Quick Pages! ~ Check out Lesson 4A or Lesson 4B in the Getting Started Series that focuses on training in Quick Pages for Elements. Check Here for Photoshop ~ Lesson 3A or Lesson 3B Quick Page tutorials for Photoshop users!

I go into more detail about digitally scrapping my New Year’s Resolutions, and mention even more tips about taking your Quick Pages to the next level!
This is what digital scrapbooking is all about. Using it for moments like this where it becomes much more than a hobby; it can become a passion, and used like a diary… where you can create your hopes, dreams, and goals for the future and SEE your progress as you challenge yourself and grow!
Happy Scrapping!
