Isn’t yellow a fun color? I love it and I’m so excited to introduce Mellow Yellows - my newest Color Stories collection! This was an absolute delight to work on and I have already made several layouts with this collection. I’ll be sharing those soon. For now, let’s take a looksie at all the goodies! You can shop right from this post, or head over to the shop if you prefer.

This is a bit of a polarizing topic among scrapbookers (both paper and digital) but this video should help you figure out your own feelings on digital shadows. I share why you should use shadows (and when you don’t need to) and also how to use a simple basic digital shadow. I even teach you how to copy my own shadow style to use on your own projects. I hope you enjoy watching!

I love learning new tricks and I’m really excited to share this little story tutorial that my daughter Riley helped create. It’s all about how to create your own phone wallpaper using Canva.

It’s a great time to share some of the funny stuff I’ve been saving over the past month or two. I keep a folder to file these types of “important” images to and it’s getting pretty full. Let’s share some giggles, shall we?

I finished my April Roundup page over the weekend and I’m glad to have these details recorded for our memory books. Sometimes it’s really tough to document the difficult news, but there were also bright spots as well and I want to remember both sides of the equation. As a household, we are now all fully vaccinated and it sure feels good!

I’m popping in here with a rare Saturday post so I can wish you all a Happy International Scrapbook Day! This is the perfect day to celebrate being a memory maker and a memory keeper.

I’m super excited to share another Color Stories collection with you. This one is called Groovy Greens and I think you’re going to love it. I felt so much joy while creating these papers, cards, stamps, and templates. Oh, and the printables are super fun as well. Great way to add some color and whimsy to your home and creative projects. Let’s take a look at all the pieces!

I’m sharing the April roundup graphic today because the next few days are very busy ones in the world of scrapbooking. Saturday, May 1st is International Scrapbook Day! That means I will be having a storewide sale (which only happens twice a year. The next one is not until October). I will also have a new collection hitting the shop and plenty of fun ideas to share in my latest newsletter. Get ready for a great weekend!

Even when I was a paper scrapper, figuring out how to mix patterned papers was a tricky thing to learn. I’ve studied this topic a lot as a scrapbooker and a designer and I have some easy tips to share that will help you learn how to mix papers like a pro! This tutorial will be useful whether you are a paper, hybrid, or digital scrapbooker. It’s not specific to any app or program, just some basic design advice with lots of example to help illustrate the principles.

I hope you enjoy it and will share the link with your friends.
