So first get some background…..
What is Groundhog Day?
Although in the US some states have adopted their own groundhogs, the official groundhog for the US, is Punxsutawney Phil. This groundhog lives at Gobbler’s Knob near Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania.
For Canadians, a festival is held in the town of Wiarton in Bruce County, Ontario, to honor Groundhog Day and they have their own groundhog, Wiarton Willie.
In the US, people come in scores to visit Punxsutawney Phil, wait eagerly, even camping days in advance to see the small groundhog emerge from his burrow.
The groundhog will check for his shadow and either go back in or stay out. If Punxsutawney Phil did see his shadow, then it is predicted that there may be six more weeks of winter.
The Inner Circle generally organizes an annual function on this occasion to honor Phil. He gets a lot of media attention as well. People rejoice when they hear it is time for winter to end and celebrate by eating sweets and singing and dancing.
Punxsutawney Phil lives in his burrow on Gobler’s Knob, Punxsutawney in Pennsylvania, for a short period preceding the 2nd of February. Otherwise, he lives downtown with another groundhog called Phyllis. On the 2nd of February, Phil comes out from his burrow and looks for his shadow. If he sees his shadow and goes back into the burrow, then the United States will have an extended winter of six weeks more. But if he cannot see his shadow, and he remains outside, it means winter will soon end and spring will arrive very shortly. He communicates this to the president of the Inner Circle, the group of people who look after him. He does this in a secret language called Groundhogese, which apparently only the president of the Inner Circle can understand.

Background History of Groundhog Day:
Now that we know when Groundhog Day is observed, how about getting to know a little about some background history. It will help you understand why this fun holiday came about.
Thousands of years ago when animalism and nature worship were prevalent, people in the area of Europe now known as Germany believed that the badger had the power to predict the coming of spring. They watched the badger to know when to plant their crops. By the time the first German immigrants settled in Pennsylvania they probably understood that this was not true but the tradition continued.
Unfortunately there were not many badgers in Pennsylvania so the groundhog substituted the badger. Tradition has it that if the groundhog will sees its shadow on February 2 it will be frightened by it and will return to its burrow, indicating that there will be six more weeks of winter. If it does not see its shadow, then spring is on the way.
Punxsutawney held its first Groundhog Day in the United States in the 1800s. The first official trek to Gobbler’s Knob was made on February 2, 1887. It is said that Punxsutawney Phil (the groundhog) was named after King Phillip. He was called Br’er Groundhog prior to being known as Phil.

In this blog article we will explore more ways to use Fonts in Digital Scrapbooking projects using Photoshop or Photoshop Elements, and we will tell you where to get 2FREE Winter Fonts too!!
Are you tired of your old fonts that came with your computer?
If so how about getting a few new Winter fonts and using them in new ways too?
Take a look at some ideas and resources below.
The first way to use a font is just to type with it!
After you have picked your new font and downloaded it, just add the font to your computer font collection. Then start scrapping with it!
After you type with with the font then you might want to spice up your project by adding a Drop Shadow to the text make it come alive like in the example below:
Or add a Bevel to change the look and make it pop on the digital scrapbooking page!
These are simple ways to make your new fonts look great!
Now how about another idea for fonts?!
Next Idea: Add Multi-Colors to Text!!!
Fill Font with Multiple Color in Photoshop or Photoshop Elements
To add Multi-Colors to Text, this works mainly when a font has some extra space inside the letters or in any parts of the designs around the letters that include empty space.
Like this FREE Font 1: Snowfall font from Fontspace.comsee below:
Special Note: There are many great fonts available online for free. Before you download a font, make sure you trust the source. Also, make sure to have an anti-virus software on your computer and run a scan often, as sometime virus come in font folders.
This is how it looks when we just type it into our digital scrapbooking project
Not really that exciting, but we can simplify it in Photoshop or Elements and start adding different colors into the spaces! That really makes it special!
The reason it works so well is the space inside the font we can use to color multiple colors!
That space can quickly be used with multiple colors to enhance the design of the text!
Then after you have added the colors you might want to add a drop shadow and/or bevel to dress up and finish off the project!
Once you have installed your font and typed some text on your digital scrapbooking page then you can also colorize it, and add a drop shadow and bevel to your font. This makes the text look like WordArt!!!
Next Idea: Another fun thing to do with a font is to get one that looks like images, and can be used like a shape or embellishment! See the example below:
Free Font 2:Winter Days from Dafont.com see example below:
Special Note: There are many great fonts available online for free. Before you download a font, make sure you trust the source. Also, make sure to have an anti-virus software on your computer and run a scan often, as sometime virus come in font folders.
A font like this can be used to type icons that can be used as embellishments or shapes on digital scrapbooking pages or photo projects. See how this font was scrapped into the Digital Scrapbooking page below:
It is great to include these types of fonts into your digital scrapbooking projects as it adds some extra fun images that you can use to decorate your photos or digital scrap pages.
Also if you know what to do you can use this last type of image font to create custom brushes too!
See this training to get more information on this!!
These tutorials cover the basics of the making a Custom Brush using a Symbol Font, and saving Custom Brush Sets for Digital Scrapbooking. After learning these important concepts one can easily advance to other more complex brush techniques in digital scrapbooking.
Custom Brushes can be used as digital embellishments; and learning how to use them can create additional detail and personalization to your digital scrapbooking pages or projects. A Scrapbookers favorite is using custom brushes like a rubber stamp, although digital custom brushes can be a lot more intricate and creative! Custom Brushes are used for more than just decorating your digital scrapbooking pages with “stamped” embellishments, as they can provide the perfect tool for creating personalized coloring books, party invitations, and MORE!
This tutorial specifically focuses on how to easily create your OWN Custom Brushes using FREE symbol fonts found on your computer and showing up within Photoshop Elements, and then how to save them as a Custom Brush Set, permanently or temporarily into your program.

With Martin Luther King Holiday coming up, find ways to celebrate and scrap it too! See this article for more resources and ideas.
Celebrating Martin Luther King Holiday and Scrapbooking Tradition
(Originally posted 1/17/2011)
Take time to teach your children about Martin Luther King, Jr. this Holiday. We can celebrates the life and legacy of a man who brought hope and healing to America and share the Dream with our children this holiday. During this Monday, we can commit to the timeless values Martin Luther King Jr. showed through his words and example — the values of courage, truth, justice, compassion, dignity, humility, peace, fair mindedness and service to others. This is a worthy message to share with our children. It is also a day you can set goals and scrap them too creating great family traditions to cherish for years to come!
Every Martin Luther King Holiday gives us the opportunity to teach our children about the values of nonviolence, including tolerance, forgiveness and courage to stand for a cause that betters the world. I like what Coretta Scott King said, “The Holiday provides a unique opportunity to teach young people to fight evil, not people, to get in the habit of asking themselves, what is the most loving way I can resolve this conflict?”
Take some time to teach your children and reflect yourself on the values we can learn from the “Dream” of equality and love towards all people!
Once you have celebrated this holiday take some time and scrap the memories!
Here is a great scrapbooking idea to start with your children to make this holiday more meaningful!
Take some of the coloring pages listed in the links above, and have you children color them! Next, scan the coloring pages, and scrap them on a digital scrapbooking page! It might also be nice to include what your child would have a “Dream” of in the scrapbooking project! Next year when Martin Luther King Day comes around again you can pull out your child’s scrap page and see how they worked on their goal and record a new page with what happened! Make a tradition each year of setting a goal, dream or how to make the world a better place and scrap that dream and how you and your child made it true!
Also this can work for grown-ups too! Make your “Dream” for a better world and scrap it! Check next year and see how close you came to making it happen!
The Blue Paper Digital Scrapbooking Kitis pretty paper set, great for digitally scrapping all of your favorite things that need a touch of blue!
Use these cool-colored papers splashed with polka dots to scrap your favorite photos and special mementos! This kit comes with 8 different blue-inspired colored 12 x 12″ digital papers!

Why not get started with some Winter Journaling prompts? Need some ideas for your digital scrapbooking pages then see this article to get some resources and prompts!
Winter Journaling and Digital Scrapbooking Ideas (Originally posted 2/25/2011)
Journaling and digital scrapbooking is a natural combination! You have your lovely scrapped page and then you add your precious photos so now it makes sense to include something said about the whole thing too!
In fact some people say that scrapbooks without journaling are just pretty photo albums! We as scrapbookers might think there is a bit more to it than that. Still while it is true that “a picture is worth a thousand words”, in your scrapbooking projects, photos with WORDS can tell a more complete story! And for those that are sharing your scrapbooks they might also understand and enjoy them more if some WORDS where added to the pages.
But when you think of journaling in your digital scraps projects do you have trouble think what kind of journaling to use in your scrapbook pages? Perhaps you need some journal prompts to get your writing jump-started?!
Here are some Winter journal prompts that might be helpful on your digital scrapbooking pages.
Winter Writing and Journaling Prompts:
What can I do on a snow day, or what do I like to do on snowy day
It was freezing cold, so I did….
I saw a winter bird, and it made me think…
Signs of weather changing, make me feel ….
Chill out! And what this means to me!
If I was a snowflake…
What my family does on winter days.. or winter nights..
My steps to making a snowman
Winter cooking or baking, makes the house like… and what does my family do ..
My Friends in the winter time and why…
My favorite winter sport is .. and why
It looks like a Winter wonderland out my window, it makes me dream of ….
The best thing about winter is….
I counted (number?) of Ice Sickles today, where?
I feel like… when I see my children playing in the snow
I feel like.. when we go see my parents.
Winter Holidays I enjoy are… and why?
These are just a few winter prompts, take one or two and see how you can add them to you digital scrapbooking pages and projects today!
Once you have scrapped your digital scrapbooking journaling pages then you can save them and have them professionally printed into a bound album.
It is a wonderful way to save your memories!
Happy Scrapping,
Cheri
