I had some great photos this year of my daughters enjoying their sparklers on the Fourth of July. I wanted to create a mini book for them showcasing the photos along with my thoughts and their thoughts on living in America, and our independence. Most of the papers and elements used in these layouts are from my Freedom Mini kit, available at Little Dreamer Designs. Doodles and flowers were drawn using my tablet, then I applied a custom style in Photoshop to give the appearance of glitter. I also used custom brushes along with my tablet to make the brush strokes on the last page of my mini album.
An artist with a passion for keeping memories, Michelle had been enjoying traditional scrapbooking for years. But when she discovered digital scrapbooking, it gave her a new level of confidence. “I was less afraid of making mistakes. I love my undo button!” Digital gave her the freedom to expand her boundaries and explore her creativity.
Currently the owner of a successful design and photography studio, (www.LittleDreamerDesigns.com), Michelle is also a designer for Fancy Pants Designs and a contributing editor for Memory Makers Magazine. This fall she will be traveling to Europe to teach classes on digital and hybrid techniques.
Michelle is a goddess. Plain & simple.
Except there is nothing plain OR simple about her or her glorious work!

You really have done some beautiful layouts! I really love how well you captured the 4th of July theme.
Hey Michelle, I really like your work. I tried to make the same kind of work once, with a different concept, of course, but I didn´t get good results…I guess I´m not that talent, so congratulations!
I love your work Michelle and have a number of your kits. Congratulations.
