Celebrate Groundhog Day by Scrapping a Joke to put in your Child’s Lunch Box!

Cheri Barlow — Wed, 01 Feb 2012 09:45:00 +0000

Why not surprise your child by sending a fun joke as a surprise in their lunch box on Groundhog Day?

Make and send your child to school with a fun Groundhog Day joke!

Sometimes we want our children to know we are thinking of them and a love note isn’t the only way. How about a fun joke or a riddle instead of note?

However, don’t just jot something down, scrap it and make it extra fun and special! What a nice surprise for Groundhog Day!

Here’s how to do it! Plus, this article will also tell you about some Groundhog jokes to get you started below!

Step 1: Open up your Scrapbooking Program like Photoshop or Elements and Use a template and Scrap Several Jokes at once!

Add your scrapbooking papers to to make a background on your joke cards. My example below is scrapping my joke card in Photoshop Elements, and using this scrap kit ~ Groundhog Digital Scrapbooking Kit 2 Make several Joke cards at once!

Also, I am using the Place Card Template from this Training to make my joke cards. The easiest way to do this is by using a special template like the place card template that is the perfect size for making joke or riddle cards for lunch box surprises.

If you want to get some training on how to make these kinds of cards check out How to Make Place Cards (and More) using Photoshop Elements training! Plus you get this template in the training too!

How to Make Place Cards (and More) using Photoshop Elements is a fabulous way to learn how to make your own place cards for dinner parties, gift cards for presents, notes to put into lunch boxes, and so much more! Bonus: Digital Scrapbooking Supplies, Custom Brushes, and Photoshop Place Card Template are all included in this training too!

There are many ways to use the included place card template which can be used for jokes, riddles and brain teaser cards too!

Step 3: In Photoshop or Elements Scrap by adding Embellishments to your your Scrap Joke Cards

Start adding embellishments to joke cards, by making more than one at a time you can give out several leading up to the holiday or one for each of your children!

Step 3: Type the Joke (riddle, poem or brain teaser) into Photoshop or Photoshop Elements using the Text Tool to make it special.

Write the joke question on the front (see image above) of the scrapped card. With the answer in the inside!

For the answer either handwrite the answer inside or scrap answers on another template and turn your page over and print answer other side of the paper so it will be on the inside of the card

Bonus Idea: Make Personalized Joke Cards!
The great thing about scrapping your own customized joke cards is that you can customize the look, the saying, and even add a photo of your child and their name to the joke card!

Step 4: Print your joke cards, cut them, fold them. After you have created the perfect joke cards then print them out!

After they are printed, then cut each one out! Then fold them!

You can see that the Question is on the front of the card and the answer is in the inside of the card.

You can either print the page double sided or print two pages and cut and paste the answer inside – either way makes this fun and doesn’t give away the answer before your child has a chance to guess it!

Now you have a couple of jokes for a few days! Or you can put one into each of your children’s lunch boxes or put out along side a afternoon snack to celebrate Groundhog Day!

It will be such a nice surprise when they open their lunch box and find a fun joke or riddle!

Check out the jokes below and maybe you will want to scrap one for your favorite child?!

Don’t forget to look at the great Groundhog Digital Scrapbooking Kits at the Scrap Shop and below too!

Groundhog Quotes & Poems:

The groundhog is like most other prophets; it delivers its prediction and then disappears
~Bill Vaughn

The trouble with weather forecasting is that it’s right too often for us to ignore it and wrong too often for us to rely on it
~Patrick Young

Let’s get an extended weather forecast from a jittery, inconsistent reddish brown rodent!
~ someecards

Mr. Groundhog in the ground.
Pop your head up, look around.
Do you see your shadow?
Look up high and look down low.
Mr. Groundhog in the ground.
Pop your head up, look around.
~ Unknown Author

I hope Punxsutawney Phil predicts correctly so that no one breaks his legs
~ someecards

There’s only one day the whole long year, that I hope and pray the sun won’t appear.
The second of February, you all know, the groundhog goes searching for his shadow.
If he should find it, the story is told, we’ll have six more weeks of winter’s cold.
But if it’s cloudy, his shadow’s not there. There’ll soon be warm weather and days will be fair.
So please, Sun, for just this one day, find a big dark cloud – and stay away!
~ Unknown Author

Every mile is two in winter ~George Herbert

See the little groundhog,
Furry and brown.
See the little groundhog,
Look all around.
If he sees his shadow,
down he goes.
There’s more winter,
Little Groundhog knows.
~ Unknown Author

To be interested in the changing seasons is a happier state of mind than to be hopelessly in love with spring
~George Santayana

I’m a little groundhog,
Furry and brown.
When winter comes
I sleep underground.
I’m curled up
As cozy as can be.
When it’s spring,
Please wake me.
~Unknown Author

It’s gonna be cold, it’s gonna be gray, and it’s gonna last you the rest of your life.”
~ Bill Murray in the film “Groundhog Day”

The funny little groundhog
Digs a home in the fall,
And hides there all winter
Rolled up in a ball.
On February 2nd
He comes out of there
To look at the sky
And to sniff the air.
~Unknown Author

Wake up, Groundhog.
Time to see
What the weather’s

Time to think,
Time to eat,
And time to drink.
Wake up Groundhog,
Time to see
What the weather’s
Going to be!
~ Unknown Author

Since 1887, many people have gathered at the Gobbler’s Knob to see first hand if Phil sees his shadow and if six more weeks of winter weather are in store.

~ Unknown Author

Alas! must it ever be so?
Do we stand in our own light, wherever we go,
And fight our own shadows forever?
~Edward Robert Bulwer Lytton

This is one time where television really fails to capture the true excitement of a large squirrel predicting the weather

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.

When is Groundhog Day?

To have some fun with Groundhog day you need to plan for Groundhog Day, at least a little bit… like what is the date?

Need to know the exact date of Groundhog Day this year? Here’s a chart that shows what day of the week that Groundhog Day is celebrated from 2012 – 2015.

Groundhog Day Chart for Celebrating In United States and Canada:

Year	Groundhog Day
2012	Thursday, February 2
2013	Saturday, February 2
2014	Sunday, February 2
2015	Monday, February 2

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.

More Winter Font Ideas! Plus 2 Other FREE Fonts for Digital Scrapbooking Winter Pages!

Cheri Barlow — Sun, 22 Jan 2012 11:05:00 +0000

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 2 FREE 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!

An Example of just using a font to type with for scrapbooking or photo editing projects was in an article: Use Winter Fonts to Spruce up your Digital Scrapbooking Project! Plus learn where you can get 3 FREE fonts!

Have you been wondering how to install Fonts? Check this article it will tell you how to install new fonts on your computer: How to: Basic Info on Installing Fonts for Digital Scrapbooking on a PC or MAC

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.com see 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!!!

…….Neat Digital Scrapbooking Trick!

Read this article for more information on colorizing text and using this technique: How to Fill in a Font with Color in Photoshop or Photoshop Elements

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!!

Creating Custom Brushes using Symbol Fonts in Photoshop Elements is an advanced digital scrapbooking tutorial, perfect for anyone interested in learning about new and challenging digital scrapbooking techniques!

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.

Now you know how to get some FREE Fonts and use them in some Winter Digital Scrapbooking Projects too!

Scrap this Martin Luther King Holiday

Blog Admin — Sat, 14 Jan 2012 10:35:00 +0000

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!

Get more Ideas for this holiday:

See article with videos of some of his speeches and other great resources – Martin Luther King and I have Dream

See this article about Making I Have a Dream T-shirts – I Have a Dream

Coloring Pages for Martin Luther King Holiday:

Resource: Martin Luther King Jr coloring page 1

Resource: Martin Luther King Jr coloring page 2

Resource: Martin Luther King Jr coloring page 3

Resource: Martin Luther King Jr coloring page 4

Here is a scrapbooking idea!

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!

Have a very happy day!

Winter Journaling Prompts to add to Digital Scrapbooking Pages

Cheri Barlow — Thu, 05 Jan 2012 11:50:00 +0000

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

This Year Make a Goal to Journal as You Digitally Scrap – 6 Tips to get you started!

Jennifer Barlow — Mon, 02 Jan 2012 10:20:00 +0000

Starting out this year, make a new year’s goal to start journaling as part of your digital scrapbooking projects.

Read this article to get 6 tips to get you started with journaling in Digital Scrapbooking!

6 Steps to Creating Your Own Personal Journal through Digital Scrapbooking (Originally Posted 01/16/2010 by Jennifer Barlow)

Journaling is one of the easiest ways to relax and let go of stress. It’s easy to do but can be a little intimidating to start if you’re not already actively journaling!

But forget the boring, old-fashion way of journaling (using a lousy notepad and pen), instead, why not try making a journal that’s really special- with digital scrapbooking! By digitally scrapbooking your dreams, goals, and life you can create a full-featured visual diary. Easily combine digital photos, text, and gorgeous digital layouts to quickly make a journal that isn’t just good for reading, but one that you will keep going back to just to admire!

Here are 6 easy steps to creating a personalized, one-of-a-kind digital scrapbooking journal:

1. All About You. Collect your favorite digital photos, from silly-faced pics, to serious poses, and beautiful smiles, and create a digital scrapbooking page that shows off the many sides of you! Use multiple photos and make an entire digital scrapbooking page collage-style, or just a section of the page with your photos. Another idea, instead of collage-style would be to add each different photo in random spots on the page leaving room to decorate around each picture and add some text. Rather than including dates, times, and places next to each photo, instead add text that describes your character in each image. If you have space on the digital scrapbooking page, add a few sentences underneath the general “emotion title” and add more detail as to what that emotion or personality-trait is all about. Example: “Goofy Girl. I love to just be a nerd and have fun! I am a huge goofball that loves to laugh and be silly.”

You may also want to edit your photos before you add them to your journal’s digital scrapbooking pages. Use Digital Scrapbooks and More’s Digi MakeOver Madness photo editing tutorials to remove red-eye, wrinkles, or blemishes from your favorite pics!

2. Family History. Now that you have created a page that shows off the many sides of you, go a step deeper by going into who you are based on your family history. Create a digital scrapbooking page that is dedicated entirely to your personal history and where you’re from. This page can be especially powerful if you are interested in genealogy or want to create a special tribute to your own personal background.

3. Dedication Pages. Who are the most important people in your life? Make an entire digital scrapbooking page all about the people you love more than anything- a husband, wife, kids, boyfriend, girlfriend, best friends, and pets! Choose a digital scrapbooking background and embellishments that best suit their personality. Add captions next to the photos of this person or pet of experiences shared that make you smile or laugh. Make sure to add at least one special small story on each dedication page- a moment that really stands out in your mind. Look back at your completed dedication pages whenever you want to remind yourself of your blessings, of the people that you love… and who care about you too!

A dedication page is also a great way to remember a loved one that has passed away. Use photos, funny/special/wonderful stories of moments shared together to tell a person or a pet’s story, what they brought into your life, and exactly what they meant to you.

Or have a new baby? Get Digital Scrapbooks and More’s Baby Kit Package- an incredible digital scrapbooking and photo editing package made specifically for new moms! Filled with digital scrapbooking tutorials, photo editing training, and baby-themed digital supplies , you can create a one-of-a-kind baby journal, a full-featured baby photo album, and more! The Baby Kit Package is available for both Photoshop and Photoshop Elements users.

Like this Wedding-Inspired Scrap Page example? Get the Journaling Pages Scrap Kit and begin digitally scrapping AND journaling- no matter the occasion!

4. Life -Changing Experiences. Besides sharing a bit about your character, your background, and the people that mean so much to you, another important digital scrapbooking page to make is the life-experiences that have shaped you- your thoughts, your decisions, and your life. Create a page or two about a stand-out experience that really changed your life and made you into the person you are today. If you don’t have pictures of the actual life-changing thing or event, use digital scrapbooking papers, embellishments, and supplies to create the page’s “mood” and include text to tell your story. Whether your life-changing experience was winning the lottery or something that was difficult or challenging, use this page to vent, express, and describe what you have been through!

5. Likes & Loves. What do you love to do? What are your hobbies, what relaxes you, what do you like to do in your spare time, what makes you smile? Make an entire digital scrapbooking page dedicated to the things, places, and activities that you’re passionate about. Copy and paste images online and use them within your personal digital scrapbooking projects if you don’t have actual photos, but of course, it’s always best if you have real photos of yourself enjoying a hobby or eating your favorite food, etc. It may seem like a simple concept, or an unnecessary page, but it’s an important part of what makes you- YOU! The things we like to do, the things that we enjoy and make us happy, they’re all an important part of who we are. Look back at this completed likes & loves page if you ever feel down in the dumps and need a little lift!

6. Goals & Dreams. So, what’s in store for you and your future? What are your deepest hopes, dreams, and desires? Making digital scrapbooking pages dedicated to what you want out of life is a great way to set goals and have something visual to look back at to motivate you! Got New Year’s Resolutions? Include them in these goals & dreams pages and create a real, visual plan to get you what you want and where you need to go. Use real photos as well as online pictures to complete these pages and let you “see” a clear vision of your goals! Besides adding text to map out your plans of action, include your favorite inspirational quotes to an additional boost of motivation!

Today I Resolve to Scrap One Digital Page Per Month!

Cheri Barlow — Sun, 01 Jan 2012 11:40:00 +0000

Today Make a resolution or Goal to Scrap a Digital Scrapbooking Page each month!

It is a good time to set a goal that you can keep!

Yes, this goal is easy and fun to set and keep! That is to Scrap at least one digital scrapbooking page per month!

If I do that at the end of the year I will have enough digital scrapbooking pages to make digital calendar or a scrap album!

It was easy to accomplish my goal because at Digital Scrapbooks and More they sale lots of great supplies, but I think I will take a shortcut and use Quick Pages! Now you can create pretty digital scrapbooking projects very FAST with Quick Page Kits!

Use Quick Page Kits to make calendars, traditional size albums or any scrap project that might need a variety of months or holidays! Spend your holiday having fun, making memories, because with Quick Pages you only have to spend seconds on digitally scrapping the fun! All you have to do is add your photos, some text and you’re basically finished! Yes it really is that easy to make and keep your scrapbooking goals when using Quick Pages! Use the month-inspired Quick Pages to create beautiful scrap projects instantly.

Use the Quick Pages to slip photos underneath for a completed digital scrapbooking page! If you like you can add some text and some of your digital scrapbooking embellishments to make even more personal it is easy to do that too! Using Quick Page Kits means that it will be extra easy for me to keep my goal each month!

With a Quick Page I just add my photos, then at the end of the year I turned them into calendars, albums, cards and more! Yes, it was that easy!!!

My goal or resolution started a few years back because prior to making this commitment I ran into this problem: being to busy in December to make all my scrapbooking pages and scrap gifts.

Not being ready at the end of the year also made me miss out on great discounts at my favorite online printing companies!

So, I ended up having to spend lots more money because I needed more time to scrap my pages, and missed the discount! Sadly sometimes I even missed the Holiday I was trying to scrap for because I couldn’t get ready at the last moment!!!

As a digital scrapbookers, I like to make interesting scrapbooking gifts as holiday presents for all of my friends and family (like personalized calendars, puzzles, mouse pads, coffee mugs, aprons, greeting cards, framed scrap pages, or photo/digital scrapbooking albums). It’s around that time that I receive emailed-coupons from many online printing companies offering huge discounts on the exact items I had been hoping to create and buy for others!

However, most of the time I end up missing these incredible online printing discounts for two unfortunate reasons:

First, these personalized gifts require a finished digital scrapbooking page in order to personalize the calendar, mug, or gift that is being so heavily discounted; and many times I just don’t have any new digital scrapbooking pages ready!

These special holiday discounts usually expire quickly maybe even that very same day, or just a few days later; which sometimes is not nearly enough time to pull all the pictures together and digitally scrap!

The second reason is that when the deals show-up in my email inbox, it is usually the busiest time of year (with the holidays, family, friends, dinner parties, work parties, cooking this, eating that, and always being on-the-go!), and I am not always on my computer checking my email with everything I have going on! Sometimes I feel so rushed to participate in a spectacular online printing deal, and it’s so frustrating to be overwhelmed at such an already busy (and sometimes stressful) time of year!

The bottom line is that if I had some pre-made digital scrapbooking pages that were already ready-to-go, then when those wonderful sales showed up in my inbox, I could take full-advantage of them without feeling rushed, or without skipping the opportunity all-together!

In prior years I missed the sales and discounts, but this year because I had get my goal of scrapping at least one scrap page a month I was able to take advantage of all the great deals! Plus I wasn’t exhausted because I had planned ahead!!

So, that said, I am going to keep this same goal this year too! So my goal for this up-and-coming year: I WILL SCRAP ONE DIGITAL SCRAPBOOKING PAGE PER MONTH (and more than one page if I have time… but I can at least scrap one page!)

It doesn’t take much time to scrap one page. I usually take new digital photos every month, so it’s not like I don’t have new pictures that need to be scrapped! Not to mention, at the end of the month, last month’s digital scrapbooking supplies are often discounted; so I could buy them at a discounted rate and then scrap them each month.

Another good reason to do one each month is so that I don’t have to wait until the busiest time of the year (the end of the year) to scrap all of my digital photos from a busy and eventful year! Scrapping one page per month will give me time to relax and enjoy the holidays, instead of procrastinating and waiting until the last month to scrap all of that year’s activities.

And last, but not least, by scrapping one page per month I can always take advantage of the fabulous discounts on gifts made from my scrapbooking pages at the end of the year, now that I will be prepared with plenty of great digitally scrapped projects!

The great thing about digital scrapbooking is that I can take one digital scrapped page and make lots of fun gifts! Wow, that saves time! Maybe you have noticed all the items I have made in this article that have come from the same digital scrapbooking page?! If not then take a second look! Scroll through this blog and see all of the items made from one digital scrapbooking page!

Accomplish your Goal by Using Quick Pages!

Why not take a few, helpful short-cuts along the way?! For example, I can get special monthly-themed Quick Pages, and just slip my photos into them in order to save a lot of time!

Quick Pages are so easy to use, and help complete a project so quickly, that it will be a cinch to keep my New Year’s Resolution! Using Quick Pages, I can make beautiful pages quickly each month, and be prepared when discounts arrive on calendars or other special, personalized gifts!

If YOU haven’t tried using Quick Pages, then you are really missing out. Quick Pages are named Quick Pages for a reason. Why? Because they are QUICK! Someone has basically done all the work of creating a beautiful layout of papers, frames, ribbons, and embellishments! All you have to do is add photos! Easy, right? It’s simple enough, there can be absolutely no excuse for not keeping my resolution this year of completing one digital scrapbooking page per month.

This is one New Year’s Resolution I CAN KEEP, and I will make every new year!

Have a Happy New Year,

Cheri
