Today's Special of the Day!
Save 30% off this Collection Mini today only! Each week, 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 Shalae Tippetts. In a brief interview, she shared these comments with us... "My background before I started designing digital scrapbooking supplies was a fine artist. I loved painting using watercolors or oils. I loved drawing and received my Bachelor degree in Art Education because I just couldn't decide on one art medium to focus on for a BFA. I loved creating this collection because it was one of the first times I combined my love of both worlds - traditional art media and digital media." 1. When designing a collection what do you start with first? Papers, embellishments, word art? I usually start building my papers to help me determine a color palette, but I also use the papers to create my embellishments and my word art. 2. What are your favorite pizza toppings? It's a toss up between a supreme with the works or a Canadian bacon and pineapple. The deciding decision is if I think I can have the supreme without suffering from heart burn afterwards. |

- A Designer's Life: Amanda Fraijo-Tobin - Note To Self

I write a lot. Different types of writing. Mainly to-do lists. I write menus for my family, shopping lists, blog posts, things my kids say, cards to loved ones - you name it. Whether it's handwritten or typed, I do lots of it.
- Terrific Title Tips
-
With summer coming to an end, it's time to get those "Fun in the Sun" photos scrapped. Selecting a great title can put the finishing touch on a layout that will give it the Wow-Wow factor that catches the viewer's attention. In this article, you will find a few tips to stimulate your imagination as you create your layouts recording those memorable summer events.
- Why We Have the Friendliest Forum on the Internet – April Martell
-
Did you enjoy last week's Scrap Girls Summer Games as much as I did? You might be wondering who coordinated all the chats, games, and general banter that was happening on our Forum and Chat Room. The woman behind the fun is April Martell, the head of our Welcoming Committee. She organizes her team of friendly, knowledgeable scrappers from around the globe to host the chats, welcome everyone to the Forum, and answer the difficult questions. Together, they come up with the creative crops and challenges you can participate in nearly every day on the Scrap Girls Forum.
- Nothin' but Style!
-
A while back, I attended a Scrap Girls Meet-Up in Omaha, Nebraska. Twelve women from eight states were in attendance! We spent most of our time chatting, scrapping, and spending quality time together.
Scrap Girls, Etc. is a column pulling bits and pieces from all over Scrap Girls. Stay tuned as Scrap Girls' team members bring you tutorials, musings, recipes, interviews, design/software tips and tricks, layout walk-throughs, and who knows what else!

Creative Cards Chat
Tuesday, August 7th - 9:00 PM EDT

Make a note of any cards you might need for the upcoming month and join April (April Showers) for the once-a-month Card Chat on the first Tuesday of each month at 9pm ET. This month, we'll focus on how to use ScrapSimple Layout Templates to create unique greeting cards.

Join April (April Showers) each Wednesday at 12 Noon EDT for the High Noon Crop. All coasts and time zones are welcome! 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 August 8th, we'll do a Color Challenge. Use vibrant colors like turquoise, orange and yellow on your page. Any vibrant colors you choose are fine. Have fun with it!
Create your layout and upload it to the special High Noon Crop Gallery. You'll be amazed what you can get done in just one hour, but there is no High Noon Sheriff timing you! Hope to see you in the chat room!
Journaling Crop
Monday, August 13th - 8:00 PM EDT
Do you struggle to get your words on your layouts? This is the crop for you! Join Carla (CRS) in the chat room at 8pm ET for a Journaling Crop that is sure to help you get journaling!

August's Forum Game: BINGO
Join us for an exciting game of August BINGO on the Scrap Girls Forum!! Pick 25 words from the list provided and send them in an email to [email protected] with a subject line that says "BINGO CARD - your Scrap Girls Forum username" by Wednesday August 1st (Midnight EDT) in order to play in the first round. The first round will begin on Thursday, August 2nd. If you miss the first round deadline, 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.
Each day (Monday through Saturday), a member 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 game thread to win that round. After a winner is called, the boards will be cleared and a new round will begin the following day.
Each winner will receive a $5 Gift Certificate to the Scrap Girls Boutique! We like to see lots of winners, so please remember that each person can only win one round during the month. Have fun!
For complete details, visit the Monthly Forum Games folder on the Scrap Girls Forum.
