Supplies used: Shop Till You Drop by Lisa Sisneros

We are headed into a long weekend here in the U.S. with Monday being President’s Day and a holiday for many. I am hoping to grab some new goodies and do a bit of scrapping this weekend! Here’s what’s going on around digiland this weekend:

Today is the last day to enter our contest here! We would love to see what you come up with!

Studio Basic has this super duper bundle for only $10.90:

Scrap the adventure of a lifetime with this African safari inspired kit by ViVa Artistry. Lost World is a beautiful collection filled with wonderful prints, wild animals and lots of vintage elements that will transport you to the middle of the banana republic. Great for all those zoo and safari photos, traveling shots, as well as fun and wild art journaling pages.

Pink Reptile and ValC Designs have a beautiful new collab that is being released this Friday. It’s all about Friendship and it’s all about Colour and it’s 20% off from Friday through Sunday! Also make sure to check both of their FB Fanpages because they both have an addon gift for you too.

Yin completed A Day In The Life and has this free template to share on her blog!

It’s Elemental by Tiffany Tillman – Embellishing Strategies for Digital Scrapbookers – Elements are the single component that sets our scrapbooking albums apart from photo albums and journals. We fill-up our pages with neat little pieces, which highlight our personality and unique creativity. It’s Elemental is like a roadmap for embellishing. You’ll move past filling up space with neat little pieces and actually use elements with purpose. Register before February 19th for a $5 discount!

Miracle of Love is my take on the Spark Project. Studio Tangie, Studio Flergs and I have done our second instalment of the Spark Project. One of us chooses a “spark” with a twist and we all see what we come up with! The inspiration this time was Miracle and Wonder and the twist was to include a window. Miracle of Love has a soft airy feel and includes lots of collage and stamped pieces! The Miracle of Love Value Pak is the best deal and includes the full kit, date tags, cards and hearts!

Miracle of Love also has Quick Pages and Templates available separately.

Dunia has a new kit, Pride and Joy:

Fabulous Friday in February

Post by steph

Did you know The Daily Digi has an iPhone app? We released our iPhone app almost two years ago (can it be?!) We were then, and still are today, the only dynamic, information based app in scrapbooking and digital scrapbooking. You can find out more about what it is does. We are in development (and have been for a while) on an update that will hopefully land in the app store in the next few months (just keeping it real…it would be awesome for it to be weeks, but these things take time).

Don’t forget to check out our contest if you haven’t:

You have really been missing out if you haven’t been able to catch an episode of The Digi Show! Just this week a brand new listener (that is also a designer) said she started listening and couldn’t believe how much she had been missing out on. She’s going back and listening to all of the old shows now too. This week, Sarah Cornish from My Four Hens Photography joins Katie, Peppermint, and I to discuss our Photography toolbox.

Just add your own text to the customizable templates. Also includes PDF print-ready fill-in-the-blank cards which makes a great project for the kids to hand write their own! Plus don’t miss the iPhone Candy Bar Wrappers. Send your kids to class with the coolest candy bar wrappers around. Customize with your own picture (as an app) and greeting. Templates to fit a variety of different candy bars.

Krisi’s Kreations has a new candy cover template out this week – perfect for Tic Tac’s – create a quick and easy Valentine gift for someone! Plus if you go to Monday’s blog post she has a free Valentine printable and Tuesday she posts a weekly Project Life blog linkup!

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!

Join Suzy Iverson in a year of discovery about YOU in a class inspired by Project: Love, Me 2011 — learn more about yourself and leave a legacy of you with this unique all-about-you project! This class is designed to be tailor-fit to your life, your experiences, and your schedule. Turn it into a Project 12 and complete one layout each month, or delve a little deeper and complete more of the prompts to turn it into a Project 52. The choice is yours! Class includes product discounts and free templates!

Only a couple of days left to get this mini-kit FREE with any purchase in One Little Bird’s store. Offer ends 12/31/2011.

The Girl Boy Girl Designs store at Funky Playground will be closing on December 31st, and until then almost everything is marked down to $2 and under…kits, commercial use, hybrid, cutting files, etc. This is a rare opportunity to grab these products at deeply discounted prices!
