DIGITAL SUPPLIES: Bellissimo Paper Pack, Weathered Neutrals Paperie, template by Ali Edwards, Courier font
My creative friend an fellow designer Ali Edwards is releasing a new template this weekend over at Designer Digitals, inspired by a recent post from her blog. While Ali did a page that captured her life in the moment, I decided to use Ali's template to capture a slice from the life of One-Three.
And lucky me, I just happened to have a few fresh shots of her ready to be scrapbooked.
I gotta tell ya, this digital thing? Pretty stinkin' cool. I played with this layout for an hour yesterday, swapping out colors and papers. Yet the overall simplicity of the design and concept speaks to me.
Thanks for the coolness, Ali. This, much like Aidan's new hair, rocks.
Look for Ali's template this Saturday at Designer Digitals.

* swoon * I love this template. I love Aidan’s hair. I love your journalling. I love you, CZ.
JustMeAgain says
I cannot believe just HOW MUCH she looks like you! Such an amazing resemblance. And reading your list of 10 things right now, well, she is also very much like you in so many other areas as well! I think it is fair to say, like Mother like Daughter! 😀
Kim says
That’s Aidan? Wow, that hair makes her look just a bit older, huh? Great layout!
Amy Randell says
Very cool…love it…both the page and the hair…the cut looks GREAT!!!
Denise Laborde says
Nice job.
Question: Will you print it out or keep it digital?
Tara M says
Love her new cut, if I could only be so bold. (fine curly hair sucks!)and I can’t wait to get that template from AE saw it on her blog yesterday. Love it too! I love the variation you did on yours.
Gretchen Schock-Skovron says
so very cool! Love it and I’m sure A will cherish this forever.
cathy says
Hey Denise, good question. I have filed in a new folder on my hard drive called “Digital Pages” under “Aidan”. I might send it off to http://www.scrapbookpictures.com. I hear they have great 12 x 12 printing.
Heidi says
Awesome haircut, beautiful layout. May I ask if you use photoshop or indesign to make your digital pages?
Thanks,
Heidi
Marge says
Oh my stinkin goodness!! The page rocks ~ as they always do, BUT Aidan is well, how does a mom say this without sounding wierd — she’s HOT!! LOVE her hair and the color is perfect for her! I do hope your dh is ready for the young men that will be beating a path to your door!!:)
Heidi says
Of course – with templates it’s photoshop, but otherwise?
Andrea says
Cathy, here’s the power of today’s post; for a minute it completely erased my anxiety/obsessive thoughts (i.e. I have to organize all my old photos, create a system, get much better at photoshop, solve all the problems of my memory keeping universe…..) and made me want to sit down and make that layout for all my family members right now. You distill it down to what is IMPORTANT. You’re so good at that.
maryann wise says
great stuff Cathy!
Jodee says
Great LO Cathy! The colors work perfect with these photos and I love the way you made your list. Thanks for sharing!
Nicki Lundeen says
I love Aidan’s hair cut. It looks really great on her. She is a really pretty young lady!
Stéphanie B. says
On that little picture in the corner, she looks so much alike you. Look at that smile, it reminds me of yours on a couple of pictures of yourself you have used. And btw, great hair cut…..I have to get mine done too, I can’t stand it! Thanks for sharing.
Tammy McClain says
Oh my goodness..this layout is so cool! And your daughter gets cuter and cuter…love her new haircut! She looks fabulous!

Awesome cut on your girlie girl. Noticed that she is now wearing make-up…growing up way to fast but a beauty in the making nonetheless.

cathy says
Heidi, this page is from an Ali Edwards PSD layered template from http://www.designerdigitals.com. So, Photoshop on this one!
cathy says
Wow. Thanks. : )
cathy says
Well, in the past, i always used InDesign, but honestly? Since i’ve been teaching my classes, i’ve been using PS a lot more and now i finally get why digi scrappers love it for this.
Jennifer says
Love the 10 things idea…I am going to have to steal that one!
Great digital LO!
Stephanie Howell says

Eileen says
Hi Cathy; I love this idea! I stopped journaling for my ME album (I’m in the class) to write this list for each of my kids. Already wrote out one for my little guy. Thanks for such a great idea!!
Lori says
Cool layout! the digital frame around the picture?? did you create that – if so how? or where did you buy it. can’t wait for this new layout – ali rocks too!

alexa says
Gorgeous – her, it, you. All of it!
Bree says
Very cool layout. One-Three is looking very cool these days – I’d say it was a tie in who rocked the short hair…
Isn’t digi fun? I don’t quite get the angst between paper and digi. I’m not giving up my paper supplies, I just added a few new tools to my scrapping arsenal.
phyllis says
Cathy, she’s gorgeous…and looks a lot like you. Enjoy the teen years.
Fcas says
Great pic of Aiden…she resembles “Phoebe Cates” in that pic.

Great Layout. Love it!
Faye says
What a difference a haircut makes. She looks just like you, I thought that may have been a photo of you at her age. Great idea.
Teresa From Scrapbook Crops says
The video is a trip and yes the end is slightly inappropriate but still funny. I am in to scrapbooking too and I think your pages are adorable. Thank you for sharing.
