Catching Up

We’re only two weeks into the New Year and I’m playing catch up already… especially where the 31 Days of Challenges at The-LilyPad.Com are concerned!

I just finished days 10 and 11.

Scrappy New Year!

Between you and me and the wall, I’m going to be a scrapping fool for at least the month of January.

Project Life.

TLP’s 31 Days of Challenges – that’s a layout a day for the whole month. Awesome prizes up for grabs to those that complete the whole 31 challenges.

TLP’s Monthly Challenges

I have found a ton of other challenges and inspiration to keep me busy!

Day 01 of the TLP 31 Days of Challenges – Minimalist/Clean&Simple layout. Here’s the layout I managed to produce (image linked to TLP Gallery for full credits)…

See that font used in the journaling? I MADE THAT! My own handwriting on my layouts – finally!

Countdown & Calendars

I’m counting the days until

And I just found this great challenge that started yesterday…

 

Looking forward to getting some calendars made to give as Christmas gifts this year! The other participants seems to have decided to start with January & February. I’m going to be the rebel and start with September and October. I’m just so inspired by all the Autumn/Fall, Back To School, and Halloween kits that have been released lately.

Tadpole Tuesday is tomorrow!! A little birdie told me that PixelWorks has some things for the Vampire loving scrappers on sale for just $1 each.

Coming Soon to The-LilyPad…

More details coming soon.

I’ll post as soon as I know more!

Froggy Friday 9/24: {Generations} Heritage Series

Hello there and welcome to another Froggy Friday edition of PixelWorks’ product previews! Today’s new releases will help you take your modern digital scrapbooking back in time to produce some drop dead gorgeous heritage and genealogy pages.
Without further ado, Pixelworks introduces the {Generations} Heritage Series
No self respecting genealogist would be caught without their charts!
These papers are perfect for scrapping about HER side of the story . . .

What better way to frame those heritage photos than with some vintage frames and papers (these are a re-release)

And who says you cannot have some fun with your title work! Check out this Vintage Ransom Alpha (also a re-release)

Here’s my layout!

Product images are linked to the store. Have a great weekend!
Note: I received complimentary copies of the above mentioned products. I receive these items in exchange for my time helping PixelWorks promote her products through writing blog posts for her, promoting on Facebook and Twitter, and certainly through actually using the products and displaying my end results.

Do you think this will help Digital Scrapbooking to become more main stream? more widely accepted?
I have still on occasion when acquaintances start talking about their love of scrapbooking as a hobby been met with the attitude that what I do is somehow less of an art/craft/hobby than what they do. Glue, scissors, and mess just aren't for me. My budget wouldn't allow for me to do my memory keeping in a more physical medium. I like making my layouts on the computer. I can share that layout digitally through email, on my blog, on facebook, etc. with anyone that chooses to look. I also have physcial options. I can print and frame a single layout, a series of layouts, etc. There are many companies that offer printing and binding services.

Will this drive the price of digital supplies up?
I don't know. It is one of the first questions that popped into my head when I saw the article. Many "paper companies" are coming out with digital lines and the prices so far have been far higher for their digital kits than those of an independent artist/designer.

Does this article raise any questions for you?
