We would love to see how your pages turned out Ellen65. You can take a photo with your camera or phone and there should be a photo icon above the comment section that will let you share the photo on here. I think the icon only shows up on a desktop or laptop though. You also might be able to copy and paste the photos in the comment section.

I think you will definitely enjoy your new hobby. How did the pics you find on FB print up? Were they pretty good quality? I always worry that the pics might not print so well from the internet.

Good Morning!  I've completed my son's bc pages and ready to move on to PACT school at GL.  I 'Liked' the Training Command on FB and his ship, USS North Carolina, had some pics posted, the ship entrance and a bunch of murals.  I asked my son if he saw any of those, he told me the one he sees the most, so I captured it and printed.  Very nice skull (LOL) with a Dixie cup and eagle... says "Snipes run the Navy".  I found the Navy Camo at http://designsbyreminisce.com/largeImage.cfm?product=3220&camef...  Thanks Sierrascrapper.  The closest Michael's / Joane's type stores are 30+ miles and in a very busy / congested area that I avoid if I can.  I drive 35 miles to work every weekday and don't get out to shop any more than I have to, the on-line shopping works ok for me but there is so much.  I had no idea there were YouTube videos for scrapbooking, I'll have to do some searching for the Scrapbooking Made Simple .... thanks for the info!  So much available, but I need a hobby!

Yup...so many options with the Silhouette AND you will save all kinds of money because if it's flexibility. I LOVE choosing almost any of the 4000 fonts on my computer to cut on my machine. I know you will love it LauriB!

Sierrascrapper, yes i have a cricut with about 100 cartridges as well as the gypsy with all of my cartridges loaded on it.. I am going to be getting the Silhouette, my friend has it & has convinced me to branch out.  I like the freedom it has to offer. I got to see it in action first hand when she designed my proud navy mom t-shirt & was able to make the sailors anchor.  my shirt turned out awesome...

I see a few of you have mentioned your Cricket machine for your layouts. Do any of you use something other than the Cricket? I use the Silhouette cutting machine. I am looking forward to making many of my own embellishments for my Navy layouts. I especially like being able to take almost any graphic from the internet and cutting it out on my machine. I'm still in the collecting stage for my son as he doesn't leave for BC til next summer. At this point I am hoping to get his high school years scrapbooked before he graduates. LOL

cynthiaMatt'smom - If you get your hands on Shimmer sheets you must try embossing them.  They can also be sanded after embossing.  It is a phenomenal product.  They can also be die cut.

Thank you Cathy for the information.  Definitely going to look into "Scrapbooking Make Simple" and the you tube video's.  I have heard about the shimmer but haven't seen how it is used, I will have to observe a video for this....thank you!

Thank you also to Sierrascrapper, LauriB, for your information as well....all of you ROCK!!

Joanns has 15 cents for shipping today.  Paper is half off.  Tools are 40% off.  my new favorite place to shop is Scrapbooking Made Simple.  Shipping is free with a $50. purchase.  They do videos on You Tube and have You Tube Yummy sales to go with it. One of the products they have is called Shimmer Sheets by Elizabeth Craft. It is a fantastic product  for water.  I have a die for waves and use it all the time. Definitely worth looking in to.

Ellen65...the Navy Camo paper is made by Reminisce and it's part of their Camoflauged line of products. I think it's pretty recent. I found mine at a local scrapbook store. You might be able to find it online too.

We have 3 local scrapbook stores within 30 miles of my house and Joanne's and Michael's and I like to check out Tuesday Morning and Big Lots too. I used to work at a local scrapbook store, but unfortunately they closed 3 yrs ago :( I miss it a lot and I don't scrapbook nearly as much as I used to. I do get together with my scrapbook buddies that are still in touch from our old store. I am also part of an online scrapbook group that I have been a part of since I started scrapbooking.
