Hello all you happy scrappy people, and to my friends who celebrate, a
belated Happy Thanksgiving to you! Today's newsletter is stuffed (see
what I did there?) to the brim with lots of eye candy and information,
so get comfy, and let's get moving..<br />
<br />
As most of you know by now, ScrapMatters will be closing her doors for good <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_324168943" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ">on Monday</span></span>.
It's a bittersweet time for us, as it's sad to see such a great thing
end, but so many of the girls are moving on to bigger and better things -
I'm very excited for them! We're proceeding with business as usual,
and have an awesome sale planned for you - check it out..<br />
<br />

I've got over 30 products that will be retiring, so now's your chance
to grab them before they're gone. The easiest way to find them is by <a href="http://blogspot.us2.list-manage.com/track/click?u=8a72286a634801bd665e37d6a&id=72c2668007&e=0788dd4439" style="color: #336699; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: underline;" target="_blank">going to my store and sorting by price</a>. They'll all show up on the first 3 pages.<br />
<br />

I'm also excited to be releasing a kit for those of you who celebrate Hanukkah this year!<br /><a href="http://blogspot.us2.list-manage.com/track/click?u=8a72286a634801bd665e37d6a&id=897a4943ad&e=0788dd4439" style="color: #336699; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: underline;" target="_blank"><img align="none" height="600" src="http://pixelsandcompany.com/shop/images/P/smd_brightnights_folder.jpg" style="border: 0; display: inline; line-height: 100%; min-height: 600px; outline: none; text-decoration: none; width: 600px;" width="600" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://blogspot.us2.list-manage.com/track/click?u=8a72286a634801bd665e37d6a&id=283a322cdb&e=0788dd4439" style="color: #336699; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: underline;" target="_blank"><img align="none" height="600" src="http://pixelsandcompany.com/shop/images/P/smd_brightnightsjournal_folder.jpg" style="border: 0; display: inline; line-height: 100%; min-height: 600px; outline: none; text-decoration: none; width: 600px;" width="600" /></a><br /><br />
With a variety of beautiful blues, creamy yellows and soft neutrals to
set it all off, this kit speaks to the more sophisticated celebrations

really fun non-themed layouts - take a peek..<br /><br />

It's Mixed Matters time at ScrapMatters - yay! I love this promotion so
much! If you're not familiar with it, four designers are teamed up to
create grab bags that you can purchase with low financial risk to help
you become familiar with designers you don't normally purchase, OR just
get a screaming deal from people you already know and love.. ;).. This
time around I was teamed up with <a href="http://blogspot.us2.list-manage.com/track/click?u=8a72286a634801bd665e37d6a&id=5f92924a21&e=0788dd4439" style="color: #336699; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: underline;" target="_blank">River Rose</a>, <a href="http://blogspot.us2.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=8a72286a634801bd665e37d6a&id=536a3b33a4&e=0788dd4439" style="color: #336699; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: underline;" target="_blank">Litabells</a> and <a href="http://blogspot.us2.list-manage.com/track/click?u=8a72286a634801bd665e37d6a&id=75c1037b97&e=0788dd4439" style="color: #336699; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: underline;" target="_blank">Zoliofrope</a>..

Hey everyone! It's been a busy busy week here on the designing front,
and I've got TWO amazing new collabs to share with you! Let's get
right to it..<br />
<br />
First up, is a fun and funky kit with the lovely Lita of Litabells Designs all about celebrating a love of books:</div>

couldn't put down an absolute page-turner? Delight in your little ones'
first board book. Express love over your new e-reader. Celebrate a visit

perfect for any book related everyday type memory, school milestones,
and everything in between!<br />

<span>Summer wouldn't be complete without a chance to soak up the sun
and frolic in the water. Share your memories with Water Play - be it
poolside, squirting around with your water gun, or a plain old bucket
from the backyard! My CT got this just over 12 hours ago, so I don't
have quite as many CT pages for it.. Keep an eye on my FB page, though,
so I'll be updating it as they come in throughout the weekend.. </span><br />

So here's the thing.. I know a girl's not supposed to play favorites,
but I kind of do. For as long as I've been scrapping, I've always LOVED
<span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1175614707" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ">4th of July</span></span>
kits! I don't know why it is - I'm generally not a bright/bold/primary
colors kind of girl, and although it is THE FAMILY HOLIDAY EVENT for my
in-laws and extended family (consisting of several days of family
traditions, gatherings and parties), I don't have oodles and oodles of
photos to scrap. But I can pick out an FOJ kit a mile away and will
have my heart set on owning it before you can even say firecracker! So,
I am SUPER excited to be releasing this fun new collab today! I paired
up with Mommyish, and speaking of firecrackers, she is a hoot! I've
had so much fun working with her, and we're both absolutely in LOVE with
the results - I hope you are, too!<br />

Have a wonderful weekend, and hopefully you can fit some scrapping in! As for me, I'll be gearing up for a huge <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1175614710" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ">July 4th</span></span>
event at my "real job" which will have me hopping for about 12-18 hours
a day up until the 4th, but then it's family time at the parade, BBQs,
playing with the cousins, setting off fireworks and who knows what else!<br />
<br />
Happy Scrapping!<br />

Doralisa here, and I am so excited about being able to write this for a Friday post, mainly because I'm a word geek. I just love the alliteration of all those "Fs," lol! This is what happens to English majors - we get so excited about words sometimes. :)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Anyway, it's time for another installation of font fun! I hope you enjoyed last month's dive into the font pool. I've uncovered a few more this month that I'd love to share.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
A great font to use for titles is <a href="http://www.fontsquirrel.com/fonts/ChunkFive" target="_blank">ChunkFive</a>. Not only is the name of it fun, the chunky letters work wonderfully for titles or short words that you can enlarge on journal cards!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-0614HyBerkc/UcNIWzk1amI/AAAAAAAAAMQ/ZRups-xPo-k/s1600/ChunkFive_prev.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-0614HyBerkc/UcNIWzk1amI/AAAAAAAAAMQ/ZRups-xPo-k/s1600/ChunkFive_prev.png" height="33" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This next font is similar to ChunkFive, but the letters have a "humorous" look, if letters can look funny. :) Take a look at <a href="http://www.dafont.com/serifa-comica.font" target="_blank">Serifa</a><a href="http://www.dafont.com/serifa-comica.font" target="_blank"> Comica</a>!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.dafont.com/serifa-comica.font" target="_blank"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-cZLHDGP3nTE/UcNJ12QS8qI/AAAAAAAAAMo/8jxOyEt199g/s1600/serifa_comica.jpg" height="336" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Another fun font you can use for titles is <a href="http://www.fontsquirrel.com/fonts/risque" target="_blank">Risque</a>! Luckily the font isn't as risque as the name implies!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-zULJyIkog3I/UcNLVxpY9xI/AAAAAAAAANA/VhjuIcty5bU/s1600/Risque_prev.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-zULJyIkog3I/UcNLVxpY9xI/AAAAAAAAANA/VhjuIcty5bU/s1600/Risque_prev.png" height="32" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
For handwritten fonts, I picked up a cool new one this week - <a href="http://www.dafont.com/pw01script.font" target="_blank">PW 01 Script</a>. Not such an interesting name for a font, but I love the way it looks!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.dafont.com/pw01script.font" target="_blank"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-3wMN40QhYTE/UcNJFDqWjeI/AAAAAAAAAMY/iy_6USdttmE/s1600/pw01script.png" height="235" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Or how about this super easy-to-read handwritten font called <a href="http://www.dafont.com/cf-cant-change-the-world.font" target="_blank">Can't Change the World</a>? It reminds me of how carefully I tried to write my letters in grade school.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.dafont.com/cf-cant-change-the-world.font" target="_blank"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-5ifpLQtsOXc/UcNKt-2MaYI/AAAAAAAAAM0/zKj9sB3TXmE/s1600/cf_cant_change_the_world.png" height="275" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
If you want something in-between a script and a printed handwritten font, <a href="http://www.fontsquirrel.com/fonts/Jinky" target="_blank">Jinky</a> just might fill the bill!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.fontsquirrel.com/fonts/Jinky" target="_blank"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-rtbuwMHMo0c/UcNPc0FrQGI/AAAAAAAAANo/o6BxKJme8QM/s1600/jinky_prev.png" height="64" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Now fonts can be used for more than just journaling or titles. When you use a decorative font, you can use them to make some very unique elements for your pages. For instance, check out <a href="http://www.fontsquirrel.com/fonts/Symbol-Signs" target="_blank">Symbol Signs</a>. You can use these to create a piece of flair, enlarge them for a journal card, or even use the male or female signs as a big element.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.fontsquirrel.com/fonts/Symbol-Signs" target="_blank"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-PZVtSxVOtx4/UcNMcSyQshI/AAAAAAAAANM/-CPVmQKoe0U/s1600/SymbolSigns_prev.png" height="38" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I thought <a href="http://www.dafont.com/runeicity-decorative.font" target="_blank">Runeicity Decorative</a> would be great for use in creating your own background paper. Just type up a bunch of the characters, space them out, enlarge them a little, and you have a creative background!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.dafont.com/runeicity-decorative.font" target="_blank"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-WgaGRt2fip4/UcNOV8AesWI/AAAAAAAAANc/8wbLKwZamGI/s1600/RuneicityDecorative_prev.jpg" height="54" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Or, for those of you who are headed to one of the Disney theme parks, you can even make your own Mickey paper or journaling cards using this dingbat font - <a href="http://www.dafont.com/mickey-m-tfb.font" target="_blank">Mickey M TFB</a>!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.dafont.com/mickey-m-tfb.font" target="_blank"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-V8KpCiRdqlo/UcNQi_Nv63I/AAAAAAAAAN0/BVChenfYymc/s1600/MickeyMTFB.jpg" height="56" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Remember, fonts are fun! Use them for journaling or titles - or use a decorative font just to make your page your own!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: purple;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Jill here, and I have been known to spend hours engrossed in looking at the millions of super cool things on Etsy ... and with our first grand-baby coming in August, I have, once again, become fanatic about searching for baby girl things. Today I'd like to share with you some of my most recent favorite finds.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: purple;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">How cool is this idea when having an outdoor gathering? Treasureagain has a very cool shop on Etsy!</span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://img2.etsystatic.com/009/0/5814553/il_570xN.437734337_6do5.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="398" src="http://img2.etsystatic.com/009/0/5814553/il_570xN.437734337_6do5.jpg" width="400" /> </a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: purple;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Who knew all of those Mason Jars we have stored away in our cellar could be put to such cool uses?</span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: purple;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Speaking of outdoor entertaining, I love this apron from CoolAprons! This may be a very appropriate gift for our son (a chef) next year for Father's Day!</span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://img2.etsystatic.com/013/0/6882193/il_570xN.458295209_85e9.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://img2.etsystatic.com/013/0/6882193/il_570xN.458295209_85e9.jpg" width="236" /></a></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: purple;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"> The theme for the upcoming baby shower I'm helping host is "You are my Sunshine", so this pillow from Katie Scarlet Co. totally caught my eye.</span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: purple;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I saw a beautiful tea cup and saucer set at a local flea market a few weeks ago, but wondered what I would have done with it had I bought it ... now I know! I love this idea from pinkfence!</span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://img2.etsystatic.com/013/0/5743362/il_570xN.461145977_6q9z.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://img2.etsystatic.com/013/0/5743362/il_570xN.461145977_6q9z.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: purple;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Can a kitchen really have too many bowls? There is definitely no shortage of them in our home! A few years ago my mother-in-law gave us a pink Pyrex pie plate and from there the search was on to find a set of pretty pink bowls to match. We found them and have been searching for other cool vintage pieces ever since - thus the reason I love these from RowlandParkVintage.</span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

It's another <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1159476159" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ">Friday</span></span>
with another NEW release!! :) I've taken the guesswork out of layout
design for you by creating templates based off of 4 of my most recent
layouts.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://shop.scrapmatters.com/scraps-by-number-yours-truly-v.4-by-stolen-moments.html?utm_source=Stolen+Moments+List&utm_campaign=a2950476e6-Yours+Truly+4&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_f1cb1af27e-a2950476e6-" style="color: #336699; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank"><img align="none" height="600" src="http://gallery.mailchimp.com/8a72286a634801bd665e37d6a/images/smd_yourstruly_v4_folder.jpg" style="border: 0; display: inline; line-height: 100%; min-height: 600px; outline: none; text-decoration: none; width: 600px;" width="600" /></a><br />
<br />
Templates are good for so many things! Newbies find templates easy to
work with when they're still learning the basics of a program and don't
want to focus all their time and effort on great page design. They're
also a great way to kickstart your MIA mojo - I find that I'll start
with a template and by the end I've created something totally different,
but I never would have reached that end result without the template as a
starting point.<br />
<br />
Here are the pages that inspired the templates, but you can find even more inspiration on <a href="https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10151581749624694.1073741833.165858339693&type=1&utm_source=Stolen+Moments+List&utm_campaign=a2950476e6-Yours+Truly+4&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_f1cb1af27e-a2950476e6-" style="color: #336699; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">my FB page</a> and in <a href="http://shop.scrapmatters.com/scraps-by-number-yours-truly-v.4-by-stolen-moments.html?utm_source=Stolen+Moments+List&utm_campaign=a2950476e6-Yours+Truly+4&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_f1cb1af27e-a2950476e6-" style="color: #336699; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">the store</a>..<br />

Hi everyone! Doralisa here to welcome you on a Wednesday! I hope you all had a nice long holiday weekend and took some time to remember our heroes on Memorial Day.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
Today, I’m looking at fashion trends. Are your scrapbook
pages keeping up with the current fashion trends? In some ways, it’s easier and less expensive (and less risky!) to use fashion trends on your layouts. Let’s take a look at
the Spring/Summer 2013 fashion trends from <i><a href="http://en.vogue.fr/fashion/fashion-inspiration/diaporama/15-trends-for-spring-summer-2013/10075" target="_blank">Vogue</a></i>.<o:p></o:p></div>

palettes is </span><a href="http://www.colorhunter.com/tag/60s/1" style="text-indent: -0.25in;" target="_blank">http://www.colorhunter.com/tag/60s/1</a><span style="text-indent: -0.25in;">. A ready-made digital kit I found on ScrapMatters was </span><a href="http://www.shop.scrapmatters.com/free-spirit-by-jennifer-labre-designs.html" style="text-indent: -0.25in;" target="_blank">Free Spirit</a><span style="text-indent: -0.25in;"> by Jennifer Labre Designs.</span></div>

– This is pretty easy to add to your layouts since there are so many kits out
there with striped papers. Amber has a set of neutral striped papers called </span><a href="http://www.shop.scrapmatters.com/stripes-classified-by-stolen-moments.html" style="text-indent: -0.25in;" target="_blank">Stripes: Classified</a><span style="text-indent: -0.25in;"> that you can use for starters. And who says you have to keep
your stripes to paper? Victoria Feemster has a </span><a href="http://www.shop.scrapmatters.com/stripey-alpha-by-victoria-feesmter.html" style="text-indent: -0.25in;" target="_blank">Stripey Alpha</a><span style="text-indent: -0.25in;"> that can help your layouts sport the striped trend in a subtle way.</span></div>

– Checks are all over! Although Vogue’s example consists of black and white
checks, you can use colorful checks, like </span><a href="http://www.shop.scrapmatters.com/simply-happy-checks-by-victoria-feemster.html" style="text-indent: -0.25in;" target="_blank">Simply Happy {checks}</a><span style="text-indent: -0.25in;"> from Victoria Feemster.</span></div>

Kim B’s collection, Acceptance,
has some great pieces, such as the </span><a href="http://shop.scrapmatters.com/acceptance-prints-by-kimb.html" style="text-indent: -0.25in;" target="_blank">printed papers</a><span style="text-indent: -0.25in;">.

– Trying to use this trend on your pages might be a little tricky. Aside from
using an actual tuxedo (like the one in </span><a href="http://shop.scrapmatters.com/from-this-moment.html" style="text-indent: -0.25in;" target="_blank">From This Moment</a><span style="text-indent: -0.25in;">
by Amy Stoeffel), I think incorporating black and white elements, like Amber’s </span><a href="http://shop.scrapmatters.com/black-tie-affair-elements-by-stolen-moments.html" style="text-indent: -0.25in;" target="_blank">Black Tie Affair</a><span style="text-indent: -0.25in;"> and </span><a href="http://shop.scrapmatters.com/blackbird-by-stolen-moments.html" style="text-indent: -0.25in;">Blackbird</a><span style="text-indent: -0.25in;">

– While ruffles are pretty on dresses, skirts, or even blouses, it’s a little
hard to incorporate on a digital layout, unless you have something like the tutu
from Wimpychompers’ </span><a href="http://shop.scrapmatters.com/sweet-dancers.html" style="text-indent: -0.25in;" target="_blank">Sweet Dancer</a><span style="text-indent: -0.25in;">. A loosely gathered flower might be another way to use the ruffles
trend on your page.</span></div>

– The best thing about using the safari motif is being able to use neutral colors,

Yay for Fridays and yay for four day weekends here in the states!
Right now we don't have much of anything planned for the extra day off,
but I'm sure some yard work and extra playtime will be in order.. :)
Today I'm re-releasing my mini kit, Starting Over, that was previously
included in April's Mixed Matters.<br />
<br />

<div style="color: #505050; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 150%; text-align: center;">
<br />
<em>The sunshine is another reminder that you always have a chance at
Starting Over. In shades of sunny yellow, infused with deep purples and
an even sprinkling of teal and cream, Starting Over is all about
acknowledging the hard things in life while keeping a good dose of
optimism.</em><br />
<br />
Peek at the gorgeous work my CT did with this.. I love that so many different styles and looks can come from the same kit!<br />

</div>
Hi, all! Doralisa here, popping in today to talk about fonts!<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I've always been a fan of fonts. I have a huge backload of fonts that I use for scrapping and for work. Fortunately, they are not all installed on my computer, or I'd have a big problem. :) Let me share some favorites. (Please note that not all of these fonts are free for personal use.)<br />
<br />
In scrapbooking, I journal on almost every page I do, whether it is traditional paper or digital. For traditional pages, I try to use my own handwriting, but when I have too much to write or want to make sure I can fit my story on my layout, I type up my journaling. Sometimes, I like my journaling to look like I hand-wrote it, so I have a few favorites in my pocket.<br />
<br />
My newest handwritten favorite is Amber's <a href="http://shop.scrapmatters.com/smd-font-niki.html" target="_blank">Niki font</a>! I love that it's easy to read and has lots of personality.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://shop.scrapmatters.com/smd-font-niki.html" target="_blank"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-GSn40xhQhRo/UZwT2uBOcHI/AAAAAAAAAHE/JBNPRUIrA0Y/s1600/Niki_font_preview.jpg" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
One of my old stand-by fonts for journaling is <a href="http://www.dafont.com/shelter-me.font" target="_blank">Shelter Me</a>. I've used this font on a lot of layouts!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.dafont.com/shelter-me.font" target="_blank"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-ZgYYC3VAJzw/UZwVbH12ocI/AAAAAAAAAHU/NP8X6Kgoa9Y/s1600/shelter_me.png" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
If you're looking for a little more of a masculine handwritten font (to tell <i>his</i> point of view), try Amber's <a href="http://shop.scrapmatters.com/smd-font-doubler-my-guys-by-stolen-moments.html" target="_blank">My Guys</a>.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://shop.scrapmatters.com/smd-font-doubler-my-guys-by-stolen-moments.html" target="_blank"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-PHrs6cVxNXI/UZwghqKsn1I/AAAAAAAAAJI/_xglEuiZpFQ/s1600/SMD_MyGuys_fonts.jpg" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Sometimes, though I need a little heavier font for my journaling to make it stand out a little, especially if I have a lot going on the page. One of my recent findings is <a href="http://www.fontsquirrel.com/fonts/pacifico" target="_blank">Pacifico</a>. I think it's a great font for a little bit of journaling, but it can also work for titles too!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.fontsquirrel.com/fonts/pacifico" target="_blank"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-zKBix5dDZPo/UZwWl-YvfvI/AAAAAAAAAHg/TI5DptY-mV4/s1600/pacifico.png" height="52" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Speaking of titles, I have a few faves for those too! First, there's <a href="http://www.dafont.com/very-damaged.font" target="_blank">Very Damaged</a>, a grungy font that works great on art journal pages.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.dafont.com/very-damaged.font" target="_blank"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-hor35gA_4Rw/UZwXrlf6b_I/AAAAAAAAAHs/8rfe9nUwSxA/s1600/very_damaged.jpg" height="481" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
On the opposite end of the spectrum, <a href="http://www.fontsquirrel.com/fonts/bebas-neue" target="_blank">Bebas</a><a href="http://www.fontsquirrel.com/fonts/bebas-neue" target="_blank"> Neue</a> is a very clean font that is easy to read. Note that the letters are only upper case.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.fontsquirrel.com/fonts/bebas-neue" target="_blank"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Q4tBimOLDK4/UZwZvHeHkuI/AAAAAAAAAIE/2s6aIhe6NWY/s1600/bebas_neue.png" height="32" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
I also have one typewriter font that I tend to use regularly - <a href="http://www.dafont.com/traveling-typewriter.font" target="_blank">Traveling Typewriter</a>.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.dafont.com/traveling-typewriter.font" target="_blank"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-1W4u_YM4XDk/UZwaX7ZCbsI/AAAAAAAAAIM/FeUbBGKzz84/s1600/traveling_typewriter.gif" height="480" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
Script fonts for titles can sometimes be hard to find, especially if you're looking for something that will work on wedding or heritage pages. I love these (images are linked):<br />

Hello, and welcome to the almost-weekend! Today I have a little mini
kit for you, previously released at another site, so be sure to check
your files before purchasing.. ;)<br />
<br />
<a href="http://shop.scrapmatters.com/product.php?productid=14047&cat=6&utm_source=Stolen+Moments+List&utm_campaign=948e801f97-Tender+Earth&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_f1cb1af27e-948e801f97-" style="color: #336699; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank"><img align="none" height="600" src="http://gallery.mailchimp.com/8a72286a634801bd665e37d6a/images/smd_tenderearth_folder.jpg" style="border: 0; display: inline; line-height: 100%; min-height: 600px; outline: none; text-decoration: none; width: 600px;" width="600" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /><em>Enjoy the softer textures and the newness of everything around you
with Tender Earth. This kit is perfect for precious quiet moments, sweet
memories, relishing in the hope and new life that spring brings.</em><br /><br />
I've been working in my yard tonight, while I still had some daylight,
and seeing these fresh young flowers and dirt scatters is really timely
for me (she says with the dirt caked under her fingernails). My CT did
some really beautiful things with this little mini.. By the end of the
week, though, we were joking that I needed to be sure and mention that
babies aren't required for purchase.. ;) Take a peek.. <br /><br />

Phew! Did you survive last weekend? It's always such a whirlwind, I
usually feel like a chicken running around with my head cut off..
Hopefully you were able to snag a few great deals, though.. :) My
releases this week are a bit delayed.. I try not to bring my
"ScrapMatters store owner stuff" into my SMD stuff - that's not what
you've signed up to listen to - but sometimes {okay, a lot of times} one
does affect the other.. I had intended to get these pieces out to you
last weekend, but it just wasn't in the cards for me.. Don't worry,
though, for those of you who already got the kit, you can still grab the
add-ons at a discount! :) So here we go!<br />
</div>
<div style="color: #505050; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 150%; text-align: center;">
<strong>Of Wishes, Dreams & Little Princes</strong></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Remember that carefree feeling back in the days of wishes, dreams
& make-believe - when the adventure of the day was to slay the magic
dragon? Let memories of your personal prince charming - young or old -
shine with this sweet mini-kit from Stolen Moments.<br /><br />
And of course, for the new little bundle of joy for the family...<br /><br /><strong>Of Wishes, Dreams & Tiny Things</strong><br /><a href="http://shop.scrapmatters.com/product.php?productid=14030&cat=0&page=1&utm_source=Stolen+Moments+List&utm_campaign=336512d880-Of+Wishes+%26+Dreams%3A+The+Add-Ons&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_f1cb1af27e-336512d880-" style="color: #336699; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank"><img align="none" alt="Of Wishes, Dreams & Tiny Things" src="http://gallery.mailchimp.com/8a72286a634801bd665e37d6a/images/smd_wishesdreams_tiny.jpg" style="border: 0; display: inline; line-height: 100%; min-height: auto; outline: none; text-decoration: none;" /></a><br />
Do you have a sweet little prince or princess in your life? Someone
who makes you think of all things soft, tender and new? This add-on is
perfect for documenting the sweet and precious moments with the newest
members of your family.<br /><br />
And to round it all out, a set of filler cards for your pocket style scrapbooking...<br /><br /><strong>Of Wishes, Dreams & Filler Cards</strong><br /><a href="http://shop.scrapmatters.com/product.php?productid=14001&cat=0&page=1&utm_source=Stolen+Moments+List&utm_campaign=336512d880-Of+Wishes+%26+Dreams%3A+The+Add-Ons&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_f1cb1af27e-336512d880-" style="color: #336699; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank"><img align="none" alt="Of Wishes, Dreams & Filler Cards" height="600" src="http://gallery.mailchimp.com/8a72286a634801bd665e37d6a/images/smd_wishesdreams_filler_cards.jpg" style="border: 0; display: inline; line-height: 100%; min-height: 600px; outline: none; text-decoration: none; width: 600px;" width="600" /></a><br />

<br />
Lately, it seems like many of my friends on Facebook and Pinterest have been sharing a lot of recipes. Maybe it's just that these friends like to cook. Or maybe they've just decided to torture me with the mouth-watering photos, lol! I thought I'd go ahead and share some of my favorite recipes that have popped up in the last week. You just might find something that you'd like to try this weekend! (Note: Each recipe card was created using various products from SMD. Credits, complete with links, will be posted just under the recipe card.)<br />
<br />
First up - a refreshing beverage...<br />

Project Life is every where these days. This is my second year doing Project life. I have chosen to do my Project Life hybrid style and use a lot of my digi stash to compliment my paper products. Back in January my daughter had a birthday and I wanted to document some of her birthday photos in our Project Life album. I created an insert with photos of her on the big day.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-bUvgtmdmKHw/UW4F8E-gvYI/AAAAAAAAIO4/dQHBPD0Y5Xk/s1600/IMG_4846e-web.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-bUvgtmdmKHw/UW4F8E-gvYI/AAAAAAAAIO4/dQHBPD0Y5Xk/s1600/IMG_4846e-web.jpg" /></a></div>
<br />
I then ran into the problem that I didn't have any photos for the back! Ack! What to do? In the end I decided to create filler page for the back using a piece of paper from Amber's <a href="http://shop.scrapmatters.com/set-me-free-by-stolen-moments.html">Set Me Free</a> kit. Today I'm going to show you how to make a basic filler page for your album!<br />
<br />
***Please note the dimensions I refer to are for a baseball card page protector.***<br />
<br />
1. Open up a 8.5 x 11 canvas in Photoshop.<br />
<br />
2. Using the shape tool create nine rectangles that measures 2.5 in x 3.5 in. Line them up so that they are three across and three down. Their edges should also be touching.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-v74QUnD-jLs/UW4K3lVaSXI/AAAAAAAAIP0/ZpA8skoFBNk/s1600/Template.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-v74QUnD-jLs/UW4K3lVaSXI/AAAAAAAAIP0/ZpA8skoFBNk/s1600/Template.JPG" /></a></div>
<br />
3. Open a 12 x12 digi paper and drag it onto your 8.5 x 11 canvas. Position the 12 x 12 so that it is covering all the rectangles. Beginning at the bottom clip this paper to your first shape. Duplicate your 12 x12 paper, but don't move it! Over in your layer bin move the duplicated paper up a layer. Now clip that to the second shape. Repeat for all nine shapes.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-IZ5kFnjL7VI/UW4K3cZskpI/AAAAAAAAIPo/jR8EKL_enkc/s1600/Template.1.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-IZ5kFnjL7VI/UW4K3cZskpI/AAAAAAAAIPo/jR8EKL_enkc/s1600/Template.1.JPG" /></a></div>
<br />
4. When finished clipping the 12 x12 paper to all nine rectangles you should end up with a rectangle that has your patterned paper sectioned off. At this point you can flatten each layer and place a 1px black stroke on each. This will give you a guide for where to cut your cards apart.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-pUPN-MbHzsA/UW4K3Taj5kI/AAAAAAAAIPs/C7punH0OPOc/s1600/Template.2.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-pUPN-MbHzsA/UW4K3Taj5kI/AAAAAAAAIPs/C7punH0OPOc/s1600/Template.2.JPG" /></a></div>
<br />
5. Now you are ready to print. I chose to print on a textured cardstock to give even more life to Amber's beautiful patterned paper.<br />
<br />
6. Cut along the lines, creating your nine cards. Round the corners if you desire. Slip cards into your page protector. Double check that they are in the correct order. It is almost like putting a puzzle together! Tada, you are finished!<br />
<br />
This is the view of what mine looked like printed off and assembled. <br />
<br />

<br />
As my girls flip through our Project Life album this is one of their favorite pages to stop on. They look at the pictures on the front and then love to turn it over to see the pretty flowers and birds. I love that I was able to use a patterned paper to create a pretty backing for the photos. <br />
<br />
Any questions concerning the tutorial please leave a comment on this post and I will get back to you as soon as possible. Now go ahead and brighten up your Project Life album, or any other pocket page album, with a little bit of color from a filler page! Be sure and link up any filler pages you make using <a href="http://Today I'm going to show you how to make a basic filler page for your album.">Stolen Moments</a> products here in the comments and over at the <a href="http://scrapmatters.com/gallery3/showgallery.php/cat/1292">Stolen Moments Gallery</a> so we can see them!Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5072734162516101680.post-55720193020345508012013-04-15T08:00:00.000-06:002013-04-15T08:00:01.373-06:00Freebies for ALL!!!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Hey all - Jill here! I LOVE Pinterest ... and I have pages and pages of ideas ... especially home decor DIY projects.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Today I wanted to share with you an easy (and inexpensive) project that I completed in my office area (with thanks to my neighbor for actually building the ledges for me!)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This was the before shot:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-5V_fm5xIdoU/UWI3CuCcaUI/AAAAAAAAAFA/eYJEZX1LBHE/s1600/before.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-5V_fm5xIdoU/UWI3CuCcaUI/AAAAAAAAAFA/eYJEZX1LBHE/s640/before.jpg" width="460" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">After:</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-O5-CEBEq5jI/UWI3LckVRfI/AAAAAAAAAFI/6YT_zshxTv8/s1600/after.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-O5-CEBEq5jI/UWI3LckVRfI/AAAAAAAAAFI/6YT_zshxTv8/s640/after.jpg" width="460" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The photo ledges were made from primed MDF Board - (medium density fiberboard). My neighbor (a contractor) told me MDF boards would not warp like regular wood could - and because they were primed (white) - I only had to put one coat of paint on them - EASY PEASY!!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The shelves are each 4.5' long - the back piece is 1"x4" as is the bottom. The smaller front ledge measures 1"x2".</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Not only do I like how they turned out ... I was able to store some of my hybrid crafting materials in the Longaberger baskets on the shelves.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Thanks for stopping by today!!! </span><br />

This month we're starting a monthly SMD Gallery Standouts feature. The only requirements: your layout must have at least 75% SMD products and be uploaded to the <a href="http://scrapmatters.com/gallery3/showgallery.php/cat/1292" target="_blank">SMD Gallery</a>. Pretty easy, right? So let's see what I found posted in the gallery in the last month or so...<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
Summer Smiles by jenn33199 stood out because of the sunny, summery colors and fantastic shadowing and clusters!</div>

Next up is Black Tie from mommy2boyz. I love the black and white photo with carefully placed elements from the Black Tie Affair collection. And, the journaling is pretty special too!<br />

Wild and Free by porkchops_mom stopped me because of the stunning photo of the horse. And the cluster under the photo is terrific too!</div>
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

Although it's officially Spring, I was drawn to this two-page holiday layout - Christmas by roxanamdm. Even with six photos on the two pages, it doesn't look crowded, and all the beautiful clusters draw your eyes across the pages. What a great holiday memory!<br />
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>
<tr><td style="text-align: center;"><span style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><a href="http://scrapmatters.com/gallery3/showphoto.php/photo/239946" target="_blank"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/--0IFcODbFgo/UV6G4OC0nBI/AAAAAAAAACU/IDJxxAd3RS8/s1600/Christmas_roxanamdm.jpg" /></a></span></td></tr>
<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://scrapmatters.com/gallery3/showphoto.php/photo/239946" target="_blank">Christmas by roxanamdm</a></td></tr>
</tbody></table>
Finally, we have This is me by Tanyia. There are beautiful clusters across the page - lots of little details that you have to savor slowly.<br />
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>
<tr><td style="text-align: center;"><span style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><a href="http://scrapmatters.com/gallery3/showphoto.php/photo/239978" target="_blank"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Qqsq5g14vh4/UV6H7OiPg-I/AAAAAAAAACg/aeKI1k8VhBc/s1600/thisisme_Tanyia.jpg" /></a></span></td></tr>
<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://scrapmatters.com/gallery3/showphoto.php/photo/239978" target="_blank">This is me by Tanyia</a></td></tr>
