Best of the Scrap Girls Blog: Turning Four

Note from Ro: I love how Sarah Batdorf used an action to spotlight her photos. They look so sharp on the Scrap Girls Digital Scrapbooking Adventures blog and it is a perfect demonstration that sometimes a simple solution is a great one. One thing to note is that Sarah has used the blog background color for the photos so they will look like they are floating in her post. It’s a cool effect. She also labeled one of the photos while she was preparing it in the software so she could control the font. You should check the blog to see how it looks!

div

My baby is turning four in two days and lately I've been feeling nostalgic for those days of chubby little fingers, faltering footsteps, and fair blond hair. I rejoice in my healthy growing boy, but I miss holding my baby.

I've used Scrap Girls digital scrapbooking actions ScrapSimple Tools - Actions: Stacked Photos PSE 6501, ScrapSimple Tools - Actions: Stacked Photos PS 6501, and AMC Friendly Font to reminisce about Markus.

Muse: To be absorbed in one's thoughts; engage in meditation. Not intended to solve the world's problems, another person's problems, or to cover topics completely. One does not have to agree with musings to enjoy them, just as one does not have to be the same as someone else to appreciate who they are.

Note from Ro: Would you like to earn a $20 Gift Certificate? Send your own muse to [email protected]. If it is selected for publication in the Scrap Girls newsletter, you'll get to have fun shopping!

Ro is now spotlighting various Scrap Girls members, showing layouts, and running contests in her blog. If you end up being spotlighted in it, you'll get a little gift from her. Subscribe to her blog so you don't miss what is going on!

Ro has recently spotlighted Soozlou, mtorres_usa, and teabaglady!

Way Cool Stuff Digital Scrapbooking Product Review: Patterns

Today, let’s have some fun using patterns to make a cool title for a layout. The following steps will show how simple it can be to add dimension to text and shapes that are otherwise flat and boring.

Digital Scrapbooking Product Review Screenshot: Adding patterns to text.

Text Layer:

  • Use the Color Picker Tool to select a gold color from the photo.
  • Type a title in a font of your choice.
  • Double-click on the text layer to open the Styles window.
  • Click on “Pattern Overlay.”
  • Choose a pattern from the drop-down.
  • Adjust the Blend Mode, Opacity, and Scale settings to your liking (Overlay, 100%, 100%).

Background Layer:

  • Create a solid box on a new layer beneath the text, in the same color as text.
  • Apply a different pattern.
  • Adjust Blend Mode, Opacity, and Scale (Multiply, 100%, 31%).

Acrylic Bubble Layer:

  • Add a new layer above the text layer.
  • Ctrl+Click on the box layer, which will display marching ants in the shape of the rectangle.
  • With the new layer selected, press Alt+Backspace, filling the shape with color.
  • Apply an acrylic bubble style to the layer.
See how easy and fun that is? I also used patterns on the solid background and paper strips of this layout. The possibilities are endless!

Crops and Chats

New Classes Available!

NSBR Chat
Thursday, February 5th - 1:00PM ET

What is NSBR? It's a non-scrapbooking related chat! We talk about everything, including some scrapbooking and usually chocolate. It's a great chance to meet new friends, catch up on what everyone is up to, and just relax! If you have a problem, we'll lend an ear or a shoulder to cry on. Have some great news to share? We'd love to celebrate with you.

So, join us, Michelle (Shelbi) and Shari (ShariPVmom), on Feb. 5th, at 1 PM EST, in the chat room Lobby! Hope to see you there!

div

What's New? Chat
Friday, February 6th - 11:00AM ET

Join Michelle (Shelbi) and Sherry_Lynn 11 am EST Friday morning to chat about all the cool new things in the boutique. What are you getting? What did you Kaboodle? And most importantly, show us the layouts or other projects you made with your new goodies!

There's a thread every Thursday, and now there's a chat too!!!

div

Scraplift Chat
Sunday, February 8th - 5:00PM ET

Join TysMommy and angelaNussbaum for a Scraplifting Crop. A few hours before the crop we will tell you the name of a Scrap Girls Team Member, and you will be able to choose one of their layouts to be your inspiration.

During the crop we will also help explain about scraplifting, how to use a layout as inspiration, and the importance of giving credit. Scraplifting is a lot of fun! So come join us, you're sure to enjoy it!

div

Aussie Chat
Monday, 9 February - 9:00PM Australian Daylight Eastern Time

Come join Jo (ScrappingJo) and Karen (kazbar73) for our first Aussie Chat for 2009. As we are in the middle of one of our hottest summers this year, we thought it would be a great challenge to create a layout with your favourite summer photos.

Come to the chat room at 9.00pm Australian Eastern Daylight Saving Time and have fun chatting with us. For our International ladies, the chat will start at 5am New York time, on Monday, 9 February. We look forward to chatting with you all!

The Card Chat
Monday, February 9th - 8:00PM ET

Join Michelle (Shelbi) and Ngaire (Ngaire) for our new monthly chat, The Card Chat.

Do you use your digi-supplies to make cards? Do you want to? Instead of going to the store every time you need a card, we thought it would be better (and more fun) to use our digi stash to make any cards we might need for the upcoming month. Birthday Cards, Thank you Cards, Get Well Cards, various holiday cards....

The challenge for this month is to do a Valentine's or Friendship card. You can also pick another February Holiday (I have posted a list on the MB), or if you have any birthday cards you need for the upcoming months, do one of those. We will be posting our cards in the gallery. See you there!!

div

*NEW* Baby Album Crop
Tuesday, February 10th - 1:00PM ET

Do you need some motivation getting those baby albums done? Children grow so fast; let's get those baby memories scrapped! You can scrap your children, grandchildren or even your own baby album.

Join me, Carla (crs), in the chat room on Tuesday, February 10th at 1 pm et to work on those albums! You can start from fresh on a brand new album, or jump in wherever you are in your project. I'll provide an optional challenge each crop for motivation if you want it. This time, I challenge you to scrap the “big news...” finding out about the impending arrival! Come join me!

div

New Member Chat
Tuesday, February 10th - 9:00PM ET

Join Pat (PBarnes) and Carol Ann (Zaz) for the New Member Chat at 9 PM ET in the Live Chat room lobby. This is a great place to ask questions about getting around the Scrap Girls site or about digital scrapbooking in general - and a great place to make some new friends. All are welcome, new and long time members included.

You do need to have Java installed on your computer to access the Live Chat.

div

High Noon Crop
Wednesday, February 11th - 12:00Noon ET

Join your guest host April Showers for the High Noon Crop every Wednesday at Noon eastern time. These crops are designed to allow you to work on your own photos and themes, simply giving participants a one hour goal, and a fun, new challenge each week!

On February 11th, we'll do a 'Things I Love' challenge! Create a layout telling us about your favorite things - stores, treats, tech equipment, books, music, movies, TV shows - whatever!

You'll have one hour to create a layout and upload to the special High Noon Crop gallery. You'd be amazed what you can get done in just one hour! Meet new friends and have fun in the chat room! We hope you'll join us!

New Classes Available!

February Events

February Board Game: BINGO!

It's that time again! Join us for an exciting game of BINGO on the Message Board Forum in February! Pick 25 words from the list provided in the forum and send them in an e-mail to [email protected] with a subject line that says “BINGO CARD - your SG message board username” by Monday, February 2nd (midnight MST) in order to play in the first round, which will begin Tuesday February 3rd.

Each day, members of the Welcoming Committee will call five random words from the Bingo list. Match just 15 of those words to win a BINGO. You must be first to call bingo in the forum to win that round. After a winner is called, the boards can be cleared and a new round will begin the following day.

If you miss the first round cutoff date, you can still play! Just send in your Bingo card at any time during the month and you'll be eligible to begin playing when the next new round starts. Everyone who sends in a Bingo card will receive a confirmation email that their card has been received. If you do not receive confirmation within 24 hours, please re-send your list of words.

Layout Contests:

February Layout Contest: Amour, Amor, Amore! The word LOVE is one of the most popular in any language across the globe. For this month's contest, we want you to use the word “Love” on your layouts. Let's see how creative you can get with it by using it in a unique way on your pages. Post your Love layouts in the February Layout Contest Gallery by midnight ET on February 28th, and if yours is selected, you will win a $10 gift certificate to the Scrap Girls Boutique.

January Mid-Month Layout Contest: It's the beginning of a new year, a time for new beginnings and fresh starts. January is a time for resolutions and setting goals. So, for the mid-January Layout Contest, we want to see your layouts showcasing New Beginnings!
