Celebrating Friday

Post by steph

Many of us are on vacations of one kind or another during this time of year. At my house, we are enjoying a break from homeschool and public school and the super early mornings. We are sleeping in, hanging out, playing games, and watching shows. Even though we are on break from our routines, many sites, stores, and designers are still hard at work. Here are a few of the things we found going on in digiland…

This week, Chelle has an adorable new kit out called Spic-n-Span. She has the kit, word art, and quickies bundled up or sold separately, and the matching alpha, spring fresh, is free if the bundle is purchased from 12/30-1/5 EST. She also has some new houndstooth patterns for CU.

Yin posted two free 12X12 templates like this one on her blog:

Katie’s Roundup Your Memories workshop starts next week at Big Picture Classes. There’s still time to sign up for 2 weeks of inspiration, pdf handouts, videos, layout ideas, free downloads, + 10 new ways to use roundups in your memory keeping projects. Hurry though, class starts in just a few days!

Merry Christmas Adam Friday

Post by steph

At our house we celebrate “Christmas Adam,” it’s the day before Christmas Eve (get it; Adam came before Eve. Even if you aren’t religious, you have to admit it’s kinda funny). We like to spend it in our p.j.’s watching Christmas movies and wrapping presents. This year, it will probably include me, running out to buy a few last minute things I need. Here’s what is going on in digiland on Christmas Adam:

Festivating Funtastic Friday

Post by steph

Katie and I had a call yesterday and as we were discussing the post schedule, I told her that people might not see my upcoming Project Life post that I have been hinting about on The Digi Show (December 22nd) because they would be too busy “festivating”. We kinda liked that word and Katie’s daughter (who was sitting in on the call) liked it to. I decided it would be the perfect title for a Funtastic Friday. We’ll see if it sticks! Winking smile

There are two things that keep the daily in our digi around here: 1) The Digi Files contributors and 2) the exclusive collection contributors. We appreciate the designers that take time out of their busy schedules to support what we do! Let’s take a look at some of the GREAT things going on around digiland:

Post by Katie

We have something really special for you today! Steph and I have spent several months researching, writing, brainstorming, asking questions, and writing some more.

The FREE Digital Scrapbooking Manual is a resource filled with information we wished we would have known when we started digital scrapbooking. We asked digital scrapbookers and designers from around the community what they wished they would have known in the beginning and we share that information with you; expanding on it to save you from making the same mistakes we did. What would our team members do over? What do Ali Edwards, CD Muckosky, Peppermint Granberg (One Little Bird), Katrina Kennedy, Kayla Lamoreaux, Debbie Hodge, Krista Sahlin, Jenn Barrette, SuzyQScraps, (and more) wish they would have known in the beginning?
