The Digi Show | Digital Scrapbook Resources

One of my “unfavorite” parts of digital scrapbooking is missing out on getting together with friends to scrap…visiting about our favorite hobby.  Fortunately there are podcasts to fill that void.  My favorite is The Digi Show.  Nearly every week Steph, Katie, Peppermint and a guest or two talk about an aspect of digi-scrapping for at least an hour.  I LOVE turning it on and scrapping.  You can find the podcast episodes on The Digi Show’s website, but I prefer to listen to them in iTunes.

DigiShowConnectAnimate

I’ve had the privilege of meeting these three delightful ladies in person.  And i’ve been lucky enough to be a guest on The Digi Show.  Check out the podcast.  You’ll soon be talking about your new BFF’s Steph, Katie, & Peppermint.

Merry Christmas Gift | Digital Scrapbook Freebie

Wishing you a Merry Christmas!  I hope your holidays are filled with joy & love.  I have a special gift to help you digital scrapbook your favorite memories in 2012.

I created a cover for my 2008 album in this style, and I’ve had TONS of requests to repeat it:

cover

 

Here’s the 2012 template.  Downloads include .psd & .png files.  You can use 160 different photos, or you can merge a few layers together and have a photo span several spots.  For the tiny spots in the 2008 template I just used bright colored photos.  Sometimes we could tell what they were, and sometimes it just finished off the look.
