Podcasts & Webinars | Digital Scrapbooking Resources

Hi Scrappers!  Today I want to share some of my favorite digi-scrapping resources that you might not know about, but I’m sure you’ll enjoy them.

Podcasts.  My favorite podcast is The Digi Show.
Nearly every week there is a new show posted…60-90 minutes of listening to ladies chat about digi-scrapping.  They talk about techniques…journaling resources…websites…trends.…  You can download the podcasts directly from the website…or FREE through iTunes.  I was a guest in this episode.

Webinars.  My NEW favorite webinar is SOUL.  (Scrap Orchard University LIVE)  I’m the featured guest at the one on July 6th.  You register (online) then at about the time the webinar begins, you click on the link in your registration confirmation email to join the meeting.  On your screen you’ll see video & screensharing from the presenters.  We’ll have prizes & lots of fun.  You can register here.

Hugs!

Journaling In The White Spaces | DIgital Scrapbooking Words on Wednesday

Hey Scrappers! I’m always looking for fun & clever places to put my journaling.  I love it when a photo has “empty” space…that makes it an ideal spot for your journaling.
Here’s a few tips to make the journaling easier to read:
 * try a simpler font.
 * blur the photo behind the journaling.
 * darken the photo behind the journaling.
Here a a few examples from the creative team:

On the Water | Digital Scrapbooking Classics

Anyone need to cool off? If you’re in North America, chances are you’ve seen some extremely hot temperatures this week, and you might have been on the water to cool off during our record breaking heat wave over the weekend. Did you take your camera and get some good photos? Chelle’s Creations has the perfect classic kit for your pictures called On the Water. In fact, even if you haven’t been to the lake recently, you might need to make a digital scrapbooking project with this kit just to dream of your next trip to the water. Her Creative Team members have been playing with the kit and have made some outstanding pages.

Kayla made a 2 page spread using the On the Water kit, the word art, and Chelle’s new Collage Templates (square). I love the blocked look of the templates and the background paper made of boating signs.

I really like the way she placed the tree on the edge of the page, and I love her use of the water splash elements in clusters behind her photos.

The original word art has black letters for the phrase “Need for,” but Ronnie needed them to be white in order to be legible when placed on the photo. She also wanted to add the words “or not” after speed. She erased the black wording in the element and added her own text layer to read the way she wanted it, but the hard work of creating the title cluster was already done for her. That’s really the beauty of using the word art.Need for Speed

Here’s a closer look at the kit and the word art in the market. cc_onthewater_preview 2 post-01cc_onthewater_wordart_preview2post

Stay cool this week!
