Well, it means you can save 7% off your order until Midnight, MT, August 20, 2008! You must use the coupon code exactly as shown here, Save-MagicFairy, or it won't work. No other variations are allowed. (This is one specific fairy!) Only use:

Life Muses by Ro and Other Writings |
- A Designer�s Life: Durin Eberhart
-
I was recently looking through some family photos and had to groan at all of the different hairstyles I’ve had over the years. When I was young, my hair was long and straight, sometimes with bangs, sometimes without. I was too young to know what “style” was and never really thought about my hair. In retrospect, I should have kept it like that....
- Life Muses by Heidi: Mystery Garden
-
For the past two summers, a garden has been mysteriously growing in my backyard. It magically appears in the same place, a small side strip of earth separated from the main yard by our cement driveway. It starts slowly, little green shoots developing larger leaves, and before I know it, I have a forest of sunflowers greeting me each day.
- Life Muses by Heidi: Honeybees
-
A wonderful benefit of having a garden of sunflowers that I have only discovered this summer is that I get honeybees buzzing around my yard. You might think this is a strange benefit, and I did too at first. After all, nobody wants to spend time in the outdoors worrying about being stung, but I have become so enamored of these little creatures....
- Life Muses by Ro: Baseball, Anyone?
-
Note from Ro Heidi: Theresa's muse on the Scrap Girls blog is something I can totally relate to. I love watching baseball too... especially going to games. Luckily, my husband loves baseball as much as I do, but unluckily, Utah does not have a professional baseball team. However, we go to as many games as we can, and this past spring, we even attended Spring Training in Phoenix, AZ to see the Padres play. Next time I'm your way, Theresa, we're going to see the Twins!
- Life Muses by Christy: 7 Minutes
-
As a stay-at-home mom, I think I would find good company when I say one of our least favorite questions is “So, what did you do today?” Whether we stay home for the day, go to the park, run errands or whatever, it seems my days are always completely full and busy. So, why is it, when I try to take inventory of “what I did today,” it never sounds like much?
- Customer Muse: Sheer Genius!
-
Sheer genius!
No, not me. I want to applaud the sheer genius who came up with this idea....
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 Pireps, CharleneJ and Soozlou. |

“Zeus” layout by Amy Lemaniak
larger view
Directions for one technique I did on this layout:
I had this cool photo of Zeus looking out into the street that I wanted to incorporate into my layout in a subtle way. I enlarged the photo so it was the length of my layout, then I changed the Blend Mode to “Hard Light” and lightened the Opacity to 25%. I still had a hard edge from the edge of my photo that I wanted to soften. I took one of Lori Cook’s Grunge Brushes and, with the Eraser Tool, I slowly erased the edge of my photo in line with Zeus’ body to give it a nice, soft, blended look.
Software used: Adobe Photoshop Elements 5.0
Name of challenge: Pets

- Digital Scrapbooking Tutorial: Layered Text
-
When creating a digital scrapbooking layout, there are many times a simple text layer for the title is not as dynamic as the layout. In those situations, the use of layers can make the difference between adequate and fabulous.
- Way Cool Stuff Product Review: Brushes
-
Who doesn’t love brushes? They are very versatile and easy to use. Today, I will be altering an existing brush to create custom word art.
- Digital Scrapbook Tutorial: Aging a Photo with Edge Effects
-
Photographs can set the tone for your digital scrapbook layouts. Sometimes, the photograph you want to use needs a little something more. One of my favorite effects to use on photos is to darken the edges for an aged look. It also adds a bit of drama.

ATC Swap Crop
Sunday, August 24th - 7:00PM ET
Hello ATC swappers! Please join me, Pat Bowman, for our next chat on August 24 at 7PM. The theme will be “A” is for Apple. My goal here is for us swappers to create ATCs that cover the entire alphabet. We may take more than one month to complete this, but it should be fun.
For the first round, take the first letter of your first name and create an ATC with the main thing being the initial. For instance, since my first name starts with “P,” I might do “P” is for “Pool,” or “P” is for “Popcorn,” or “P” is for “Precious.” Be creative, but we want the alpha letter to be the most prominent thing on the card. Keep your eye on the ATC Gallery to see what letters have been done in case your name starts with the same letter as someone else.
Be sure to participate each month so that you will have the complete alpha when we are done. Let's have some fun!
Aussie Chat & Crop
Monday, August 25th - 8:30PM *Australian Eastern Standard Time*
Please join Jo (ScrappingJo) and Karen (Kazbar73) for our next Aussie Chat. As this is the last week of Winter for us Aussies, we thought it might be nice to create a new "Spring Desktop" to celebrate the end of Winter. Create your desktop, then come and meet Jo & Karen in the Chat Room at 8.30pm Australian Eastern Standard Time (please take note of the time change).
For all our other International Ladies, the chat will start at 6.30am New York time on Monday, 25 August.
Not sure how to create your own desktop layout? Then come along and we will go through the steps so that you can create an outstanding desktop. We look forward to seeing you all there.

Ro personally uses Carbonite to back up her computer. While it won't backup external hard-drives, it is a fabulous solution for keeping all of your important documents on your C:/ drive safe and your backups completely up-to-date at all times. Using it has made her stop worrying about losing important business and financial files, because the backup happens without Ro having to do a single thing.

Buy True Image 11.0 from Acronis Today!
Hard drives do fail. Don't think they won't and that you will escape from it happening to you forever. Just get a plan for managing what will happen someday and save yourself a lot of pain, sweat, agony and tears.
You need several methods of backing up in case one of them fail. Acronis True Image 11.0 is Ro's personal choice for creating a complete back up (software, operating system, settings... you name it) of her hard drives. It is easy to use (no excess geek speak) which is why she is recommending it to you. |
