Documenting Commencement Traditions

You know the time-honored tradition of tossing your graduation cap in the air at the end of a commencement ceremony? Yeah… never did it. When I graduated from high school, I was too afraid of not being able to find my cap in the ensuing post-ceremony chaos that I simply kept my mortarboard bobby pinned to my head. When I graduated from college, I didn’t dare toss my black cap into the air because I was having a horrendous hair day. There was no way I was going to be photographed without something masking my messed up mane. Also, I … Continue reading →

More Picture-Perfect Prom Photos

There’s more to prom than just pretty dresses, tuxedos and a fleet of limos. There’s also the fancy updos, half-dos and do-overs. Oh, and the flowers. For girls, a corsage can make or break a prom ensemble. However, despite its significance, it’s rare that floral arrangements worn on a giddy girl’s wrist receive the documentation they deserve. When taking photos on prom night, don’t overlook defining details such as corsages and boutonnieres. If you are planning to preserve memories of prom in a scrapbook you’ll want to snap every aspect of the occasion. In order to retell the story about … Continue reading →

Pining for Photoshop

If you are an avid digital scrapbooker, but your photos leave more to be desired than your layouts, then you might consider investing in high-quality computer software. I’ve been pining for Photoshop for years. The photo-editing software fits into the “premiere” category and is often used by professional graphic designers. However, it can also be a scrapbooker’s best friend. The software allows you to edit images in a variety of ways including cropping, modifying brightness and contrast, as well as adding a slew of special effects. The downside to all this fabulosity is the high price. Photoshop doesn’t come cheap; … Continue reading →

Genealogy – You’re Doing it Wrong!

Posted on by

Genealogy is the study of family. Usually, it is the study of your own family, unless you happen to be a professional genealogist who is helping someone else do her research.

Shannon Kathlina Grimm, who lives in Montana, decided to do something unorthodox with her genealogy research. She is not a professional genealogist, but she was searching for specific information about people who were definitely not a part of her own family tree. She did … Continue reading →

Android Apps For Your Home Based Business

A while ago, I thought that I would be getting an iPhone. Everyone always talks about how there is an iPhone app for just about anything, so I researched iPhone apps to see what kinds of apps are out there that can be useful for home based professionals. There are quite a few, and exactly which ones are best depend on what kind of business you have. I still have not gotten around to getting a new phone yet, but it looks like I’m going to be getting an Android instead of an iPhone. Hopefully within the next week or … Continue reading →
