Offer expires at Midnight, MDT on June 30th, so shop now and don't miss out!
Today's Special of the Day!Save 30% off this Collection today only! Each week on Tuesdays, we will be spotlighting one designer and one of their favorite products. This product will be on sale for one day only at 30% off! This week's designer spotlight is on Kim Meeder. In a short interview with Kim, she shared these comments with us... "Spring is one of my favorite times of year. Just when I think I can't stand another moment of the cold, winter weather, I see crocuses popping up and hear the robins begin to chirp. I feel a surge of energy, excitement and anticipation for the warmth and sunshine that accompanies this time of year. That was the motivation behind creating this collection. But, it has become one of my personal favorites because I am able to use it year round. The colors are muted and work nicely with many different photo treatments. It's my 'go to' collection for cards and gifts. I even used it to scrap our daughter's wedding photos." 1. What are your favorite pizza toppings? Usually, just extra cheese and mushrooms. I do have another favorite, though. There is a place around here that has a specialty pizza called "Chicken Caliente." It has grilled chicken, hot sauce, melted blue cheese, chopped tomato and mozzarella cheese... yummy! Now, I'm hungry! 2. What's the last book you read? I'm in the middle of Water For Elephants. I just finished several books by Janet Evanovich. She writes mysteries and her heroine is a bounty hunter. They are light, funny and easy reading. I actually laugh out loud while reading her books. Best of all, I found out about them on the Scrap Girls Message Board! |

- A Designer's Life: Geocaching
-
Last summer, our family discovered geocaching. What fun! While on vacation in a cabin in the Utah mountains, we borrowed Papa's GPS unit from his truck, found some cache locations in the surrounding woods from the Internet, hopped on the four wheelers and set off on our first treasure-seeking adventure.
- Life Muse by Ro

How much time of your life is spent in other people's heads?

Ro shares one of her cartoons! Check it out!
- Scrap Girls Etc.: Publication Schedules and Deadlines
-
Have you recently decided to take the plunge and start submitting your layouts for possible publication? If so, then it's important to know each publication's schedule and deadlines for themed and holiday layouts.
- Life Muse by Ro
-
Our society is obsessed with health and fitness. We think about it. We watch television shows about it. We spend vast amounts of money, trying to come up with quick fixes to achieve it.
- Customer Muse by: Janice Hiser
-
Have you ever had a love/hate relationship? I have an ongoing one with my camera. She's a fickle little lady. Oh, she can be counted on to be there for those life milestones like birthdays, school plays, and T-ball games, but she is rarely around for those breath-holding moments that flitter across my path.
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.
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!

- Using Prefinished Embellishments
-
Many people new to digital scrapbooking ask, "What are embellishments?" And I usually answer with one word, "Curtains!"
- Weddings
-
Let's talk wedding layouts! Weddings are an important event in one's life. If you are lucky, you had an awesome photographer who photographed all the little details of your wedding and now you have tons of photos to inspire some terrific scrapbooking pages. However, if you aren't so lucky to have those photographs, you can still document the details of your wedding, and I highly encourage you to do so. Because your wedding was most likely a very special moment in your life, preserving those special memories will be a treasure to you in the years to come. Plus, just think, your children, grandchildren, nieces, and nephews will enjoy reading about your wedding as they get to know you a little bit more.
- Creating a Traditional Quilt Block Layout
-
One of my favorite hobbies is quilting. I love the patterns in fabric and the traditional feel of quilt blocks. I created my ScrapSimple Digital Layout Album Templates: 12x12 Quilt Squares so that I could incorporate that love of quilting into my digital scrapbooking layouts. I thought I would share the process I use to create a digital quilt block with you.
- Once Upon A Time
-
Adding a section of journaling or a story to your digital scrapbooking layout can turn your finished design into a piece of family history - a heritage piece. Just because it isn't "vintage" today, doesn't mean it won't be someday!
- Adding Great Shadows with a Single Click
-
Have you ever wanted a great drop shadow on your digital scrapbooking layout, but didn't want to do all of the work that is involved in making one? Well, ScrapSimple Tools - Actions: Deep Shadows 6501 PSE and PS Biggie is an action set that can give you great shadows with a single click of your mouse.

June Message Board Game: Re-JUNE-venate!
We helped you jumpstart your January and now it's time to re-JUNE-venate your focus on scrapbooking! Join us on the Forum this month for "Re-JUNE-venate!" This is a Meassage Board game and challenge that focuses on taking time to scrapbook regularly despite the little speedbumps of life. When the month is over, you'll have several completed layouts and will have been challenged and treated to some fun along the way... with prize opportunities thrown in as well!
A member of the Welcoming Committee will post a mini-challenge or task each day Monday through Saturday from June 1st - 30th. The tasks will be formatted in LARGE PURPLE FONT for ease of locating them in the game thread as it grows. Some tasks will require Message Board participation, email responses or gallery posting. Read each daily task carefully to see what is required of you.
Those who complete all tasks and submit or post required participation will be entered in a drawing to win one of three $10 Gift Certificates to the Scrap Girls Boutique! Those who complete just the layouts will be entered in a drawing to win one of two $5 Gift Certificates. Those who complete just the speedbumps will be entered in a drawing for one of two $3 Gift Certificates. (Those who complete all tasks will have their name entered in all three drawings!)
Join us in June for some serious scrapbooking re-JUNE-venation!
For complete details, visit the Monthly Message Board Games folder on the Scrap Girls Forum.
