After a couple of years teaching in person and 6 months of online workshops, it was time for a real home on the web.
At Digital Scrapbooking HQ we have a great band of digi-scrappers who meet each month online in our workshops and in Perth, WA. I’ve answered hundreds of questions via email and on the site and provided access to Photoshop Elements training that will get your photos looking great, pages made and supplies organised. And there’s more to come!
I have something awesome for you today. A giveaway. With over $600 of goodies to be had. Check it out!
I've got a very special gift for you today. Treat cards are starting a thankful revolution and I'm sure Stacy Julian would approve!
Why not kick start your happy mail with 10 thankyou cards?

These cards can be completely customized and personalized to your tastes. Choose from thousands of designs, add pictures, change the text, the fonts, the colors. You get to make these cards uniquely you.

The online event will kick-off Saturday, May 5th at 9am PST. You can look forward to 12 jam-packed hours offering creative challenges every hour, live chats with industry professionals, amazing giveaways, and constant inspiration and interaction!
Do you ever feel like your design skills aren’t quite getting the workout they need?
Head over to my Digital Scrapbooking HQ site and jump in on the giveaway I’m running this week!
I’m always looking for new ways to grow my scrapbooking skills and though I’m more than happy to share my digital know-how I sometimes feel less than confident in my design skills for scrapbooking.
So when I got the opportunity to participate inElizabeth Dillow’s latest class starting April 29, I was thrilled! I’m so excited that I’ll have 12 concrete ways to put my skills into action.
So what has this all got to do with you?
I’ve been given one free spot in the Design Challenges class to YOU.
You are constantly making memories. Now’s the time to learn how to round them up and turn them into keepsakes! The really important memories in our lives are often a culmination of the small, everyday routines and events that shape our daily life. This two-week workshop will teach you to document and use your experiences to create unique and meaningful journals, blog entries and scrapbook projects.
Katie (also known as “Katie the Scrapbook Lady”) is the creator of scrapbookladypages.com, a contributing writer atThe Daily Digi, and the co-host of The Digi Show podcast. She has been a scrapbooker since 1983 and a digital scrapbooker and blogger since 2005. She has been published in Memory Makers Magazine and several Memory Makers books, as well as in Digital Scrapbooking Magazine.
You will learn about Katie’s monthly blog roundup tool, and ten other different types of roundup-based inspiration to use for your own projects. Each week of the workshop comes with a video presentation, PDF handouts, a forum for questions and answers, and a live chat with Katie. As an added bonus, you will receive printable checklists, idea sheets, and free downloadable templates to help you with your own roundups.
NOTE FROM KATIE: I started my well-known monthly roundup exercise on my blog back in January of 2006 and I haven’t missed a roundup in over 70 months! Even if you are one of my loyal roundup followers, this workshop will give you the opportunity to fully explore the roundup process, learn my best tips and tricks, and find brand NEW ways to roundup your own memories. Whether or not you’ve ever tried a roundup, you will be inspired by hundreds of scrapbooking ideas in this two-week workshop with me
Welcome to to my stop on the One Little Word blog hop for August. If you’ve come from Cheri's blog welcome! The full list of blogs is at the end of this post.
August’s prompt was to take a photo of yourself and add some affirming words. To simply take a breath.
I’ve taken an video of my book to date – it’s coming along well! You can see I used the picture above along with some patterned paper and affirming words.
Now that the Big Idea Festival is over, I want to share with you my words and pictures inspired by the words chosen over the past few days. I hope you enjoy them.
Nest
Cherish
Live
I want to take everything in!
Free
I am free, I have the ability to be the best I can be, think positive and no-one can stop me!
Moment
Embrace
Play
Lately there’s been little time for play around here. But then again, Emily and I have been building lots of tunnels and doing a bit of dancing, lots of trampoline jumping and making playdough animals.
Today I played with a Flergs freebie and created a layout inspire by Amy Tan’s word for the the Big Idea Festival.
Every day I share my life with two wonderful people - Emily and Phill Every day I share my life with friends and followers on Twitter and Facebook Every week I share my worship with other believers. Every week I share my thoughts on my blog Every fortnight I share my journey with lifegroup Every month I share my skills teaching Photoshop Elements Every month I share some crafting fun with friends
This I what I believe. I believe in God, I believe His plans for me are beyond my wildest dreams. I believe He is in control. I believe I can be joyful in all situations, I believe I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. I believe God's timing is perfect and He is never late. I believe that my emotion can be a part of my life without ruling it. I believe God designed me to live with passion. I believe I can be loving wife and mother, I believe I can run a successful business to share my love of art. I believe I can serve others in practical ways. I believe I can lead by example and speak wise words when they are needed. I believe my creativity is a vital part of my gift to this world. I believe my positive outlook on life can encourage others. I have learnt that to be good does not mean I have to be boring. I have learnt I can hold my tongue, I have learnt to laugh at myself. I have learnt to allow the tears to come and with God's help they will turn into joy in the morning. I have learnt that each day is a new day with no mistakes in it.
Welcome to to my stop on the One Little Word blog hop for August. If you’ve come from Lynn’s blog welcome! The full list of blogs is at the end of this post.
July’s prompt was music. I’ve heard lots of children’s music this month. Of course Emily loves it, and I don’t mind singing along to Bullfrogs and Butterflies. I guess they fit well with my word also! Growing and changing!
I also bought God is able from iTunes, but haven’t made it past the first few songs yet!
For my album I chose to highlight one song – Doin it Doin it – Emily’s favourite.
Lyrics
There’s a bumble bee, a honey bee Gettin’ the honey for you and me
Doin’ it doin’ it – doin’ it doin’ it Buzzing around – helping the garden grow
There’s a little worm diggin’ around Eatin’ dirt from out of the ground
Doin’ it doin’ it – doin’ it doin’ it Little worm – helping the garden grow
Up in the sky there’s a yellow sun Shining down on everyone
Doin’ it doin’ it – doin’ it doin’ it Shine shine – making the garden grow
There’s a big fat cloud and a drop of rain It’s falling down on the window pane
Doin’ it doin’ it – doin’ it doin’ it Splish splosh – making the garden grow
Fly fly through the sky Little bird drops a seed The seed grows up into a tree A green umbrella for you and me
Croaky frogs, cats and dogs Creepy crawlies under a log
Doin’ it doin’ it – doin’ it doin’ it All over the world – making the garden grow Everybody – making the garden grow You and me – making the garden grow
I just did a little bit of trick embossing – used card embossing folder on my 5x7 page and then lining it up as best I could and repeating it at 90 degrees to the first one. That way I got 80% of the page overed. I cut and embossed a scrap and added some lyrics. A very simpel take on this month’s prompt.
