Tutorial Crop – Journal into Shapes!
This week we’ll be playing with a wonderful mini-kit from Vanessa at Scrapnbitz, and putting our journaling into a shape. This won’t be new to many of you, but maybe it’s a technique you haven’t visited in a while, or maybe you need a reason to do a layout with a lot of journaling!
I’m not much of a heritage scrapper, but this kit inspired me to dig out some older photos and capture so
me details I’d not scrapped before!
Join us in the chatroom tonight, Thursday March 11, at 10PM Eastern (9 Central) for the crop, and get a wonderful mini-kit courtesy of Vanessa! And if you love the kit, it’s on sale 30% off until March 17th, so pick up the full thing and preserve some of your heritage!
See you in the chatroom!

Scraplift Saturday – Color Blocking Updated!
by Jenn on March 6, 2010

I was out all day – first teaching a children’s quilting class, then taking my son to a barbershop concert – so I’m just squeaking this post in!
I was looking for a color-blocking style layout, because I was in the mood to do one, and this one just knocked my socks off! It’s by Kelleanne at myscrapbookart.com. What a great chance to use all those cool papers you don’t know what to do with! And LOVE those shadows – this really has a great 3D kind of look. (If you struggle with shadows, get our free Shadows Style Set download here.)
I hope you try something like this, I’d love to see what your take on this style is! I’ll post a link to mine here when I get it done.
Happy Scrapping!

Quick Tip Tuesday – Right-Click It!
by Jenn on March 2, 2010
in Quick Tip Tuesday
What can you do with a right-click?
Right-click…. on any Layer in the Layers Palette: to copy and paste layer styles, to duplicate the layer, to delete the layer.
Right-click… in a Selection: to select the inverse, feather the selection, or transform the selection.
Right-click… on a Text layer: to change horizontal to vertical, to rasterize or simplify the type, or to warp the text.
Right-click… with the Brush Tool: to choose a new brush from the brushes palette, or to change the diameter of the brush.
Do you right-click?

Scraplift Saturday – We’re LISTING!!

I’m at a crop today – teaching brand-newbies to digiscrap!! We had a rockin’ class this morning, and now we’re all hanging out in the digi-corner scrapping away. There are still 10 paper scrappers here for every one of us digi-girls – but won’t they be jealous when we pop our laptops into our tote bags and wander off – and they’re still packing and hauling and hauling and packing!
Here’s what I’m working on – a “List” layout! I thought this was adorable – I like the clusters of stuff peeking out top and bottom, the swirlies, and the list! Maybe it will inspire you to scrap something different today too!
Click on the picture to go to the gallery to see the image larger, and leave some love while you’re there!
Don’t forget to post your work in our gallery, so we can be amazed at your talent!!
Happy Scrapping!
