Another adoption homestudy means it's time to put together another portfolio. The portfolio is viewed by birthparents as part of their decision in selecting people to parent their child....just a tiny bit nerve wracking.
Seven years ago I scrapped the whole album (without digital help) and then made color copies. It was time consuming and looking back, I'm not loving it. For the second time, I did attempt to do some digital pages, but also mixed in some pages from the original album.
This time I wanted to do something quick and easy. I have two kids now, it's much harder to get things done. I used Picasa and completed all the pages using the collage feature. I wanted a monochromatic look for the album, so I used the same 3 "papers" throughout. In total, there are about 12 pages, here are some from the album. ![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgYrEHkOMAfNpbSbToqfbasw2iLxSYdSnFL5Y4E7vLFUs4a2W1aai4nkiUsUFKR_1EWZrWFPPniKuPdcqQHCZVLLzu4wL3vaWp-iqZ5Ur_3z820BdwNXGWoxM0QcZh45OY9Qlc8MRqnUzU/s640/Of+clay+and+children.jpg)

There has been some interest from the blogging world as to how to create these pages. Tune in at the end of the week for my attempt at a tutorial to create your own "scrapbook pages".
