"Ideas
to Inspire"
By Donna Phillips
Do you have tons of digital files
stored on your hard drive that you've used for one or two layouts and
are now no longer sure what to do with?
Well, rest
assured that you are probably not alone; however, I
challenge you to open those dusty files and take a look at the
possibilities that lie within them! The colorful digital
papers and elements are ideal for creating greeting cards, recipe
cards, note pads, book covers, bookmarks, party invitations and so much
more! Not only do these items make practical and useful
gifts, but any gift you make yourself is a gift from the heart and who
doesn't love that? To get you started, I've created a very
basic 4x6 recipe card and a 5x7 patriotic greeting card using the
papers and elements from the "Americana" collection. The
front of the card could easily function as a frame on a layout, but it
also makes a great card face and leaves you room to add a special
photograph! There is also a free set of bookmarks currently
available in the SgD store that were created using the "Americana"
collection so be sure to grab those for a little inspiration before
they are gone. Remember to post your creations in the SgD
Gallery - inspire someone else with your creativity!

What
our Members are saying
This
month, we introduce a new fun activity in our digital scrapbooking
forum:
We
Ask... You Tell Us
and
you did!! Thanks to everyonoe for sharing your wonderful comments!
What has been your favorite event or Photo to
Scrap?
You're
making us pick?
lol My favourite pictures unfrotunately are the ones that turn out
great.. it's hard to scrap the other ones, thankfully I've become a
better photographer, but the old ones still need to be scrapped dispite
their quality. I actually like a variety of subjects though, old, new,
young kids, babies, adults, serious, goofy... it just keeps things
exciting and fresh. [nifty]
I love to scrap
layouts that include children's photos - probably
because I find those the easiest to put together. Sometimes I struggle
with getting everything laid out just perfectly when the photo includes
only adults. [Pixel Princess]
I
love to
scrap everyday moments. I scrap just about everything, but it's the
everyday moments & events that people tend to think aren't as
important & tend to be forgotten as you get older. I want to
capture those moments for my kids. The piling up on Daddy in the
recliner, the digging in the garden, the kids getting my Mama &
Daddy's bed when they are supposed to be in their own beds...those
moments that make me laugh. [Kari]
Right
now I love to
scrap my 2yr old grandson. I take silly everyday photos for layouts.
I'm also taking older pictures and ones that aren't the best quality
and doing a photo mask with them and extractions. I'm having fun doing
funky, fantasy lo's with these photo's. [cruisengoddess]
I don't
really have a favourite. At least I don't think I do. I enjoy scrapping
all of the photos, although I guess looking back, my favourite pages to
read over and over again are the ones that have a story with it -
something funny one of the kids has said or done, or one that has a
letter from me to them in it. [barbnichols]
I've only really had one "event" per se to scrap... which was my
wedding. Though, I do tend to scrap a lot of photos of my nieces...
Most of the time, I'd say the kids are my favorite to scrap. [nikkiana]
I enjoy
scrapping ALL my photos. It is hard to narrow down. But I would say the
easiest ones are our family vacation photos. I love pictures of the
kids and vacations are nice to scrap because there is a certain theme.
And an end to the album. I feel like I got something accomplished when
I complete an album from beginning to end. [jana]
While I agree with everyone's opinions before me my favorite thing to
scrap are classic moments, clean lines filled with color such as
weddings, anniversaries, babyshowers, you get the picture.
[eclecticdiva]
I
love to
scrap pictures of my g'kids. My very favorite so far is a picture of my
youngest g'son taking a bite of an apple during his first apple picking
outing.[spartica]
I really like to
scrap the flowers in my garden!!! Oh.. forgot.. did I
also mention my kids? Oh, one more, trips to unusual places. In
summary, I love to scrap anything that is related to me and my family.
I also like to scrap when I am more relaxed, and not trying to be
perfect. The main thing is to put the pictures arranged in a page,
remember things to journal, and enjoy the results. [myluco]
Photos
of
my kids growing up & changing or family all together are my
favorites, but I'll scrap anything that strikes my fancy.[shellshok]
I agree with the
people who say kids - lately it's babies because I
have 2 new great grandchildren - it's just easy because they're always
cute and with the cute outfits and faces a theme always comes to
mind.[brendam]
I
especially love scrapping my children life and our
holidays.[rainbow7203]
That's a tough
question -- I suppose one ones I like the most are baby
photographs -- especially the ones I took when my Grandson was born. To
me they tell a very emotional story without it being necessary to add
tons of journaling to spell it out.[Lottiefla]
I
love to
scrap just everyday photos of my life. Yeah, I do the big stuff
(holidays, vacations, etc) but I have to include those wacky photos of
your life in general.[RealRach]
I'd say vacations and my
kids school events are the items I scrap the most.[cla]
My
favorite
event to scrap would be the day to day moments of both of my girls!
[jburkhart]
I love to scrap
photos of my grandson! I also like to scrap photos of
our trips or special family events.[skinnerfam_48236]
