Let's talk scrapbook organising and planning. Trello is a free project organising app that you can log into via your desktop or devices (HERE). I had a client at work that needed me to use Trello a few years ago and I didn't like it and didn't get it. Then earlier this year, Jennifer Wilson at Simple Scrapper talked about how it was working for her in a podcast (HERE) and I decided to take another look. Thanks Jennifer! I don't know if they changed things in the app or if usi

Digital scrapbooking process video today - talking about recolouring digital elements. (5x8 layout using the new Watch Story Kit by Ali Edwards). #Video #AliEdwards #DigitalScrapbooking #DigitalTips

I have always preferred typed journaling over my handwriting but sometimes it's nice to include it in a layout. As a digital scrapbooker for many years, my handwriting is missing from my projects but lately I've been playing with the Procreate App (HERE) with my daughter's iPad and Apple Pencil to get some handwriting back into my digital layouts. I've made two videos about the process - one is using the Procreate App and getting your file to your computer for scrapbooking, t

Today I've got a video of some real-time digital scrapbooking using digital journal cards in layouts (rather than pocket projects). The first page uses a 3x4 journal card from Paislee Press' Autumn Vibes Journal Card set available at The Lily Pad (HERE). The other two projects use 3x8 journal cards from Geralyn at In A Creative Bubble -the Remember set (HERE) and the Delightful set (HERE). Her full 3x8 collection can be found (HERE). I am so happy that digital designers are

February - I hardly knew ya! I don't know where the last month went but here we are almost halfway through March. A few full and busy weekends have put me off my scrapbook game a little bit but that's how this hobby goes. Last weekend I finished up a few wayward half-finished pages for February and got them loaded up into my Blurb book so I could get going on March. I have a lot less pages for February than for January and that's OK. (As a reminder, last year I made a digital

I am working on week three of Project Life today so I thought I'd make a video as I work on my digital spread in real time. Happy to answer any questions here or on Instagram (HERE). Thanks for being here :) #Video #ProjectLife #DigitalScrapbooking

I've been talking a lot about photobooks lately. This year I have two projects on the go - my 8x10 Project Life book and a 5x8 commonplace book for my random pieces as well as regular layouts. I usually build my book at the end but this year I'm planning to add my finished layouts to the book more regularly, so I made a short video as I set up my new 5x8 book in Blurb. #Photobooks #Video

I've been planning a series of post for digital scrapbooking beginners but the scope is so large I just thought I'd dive in with a video about using digital templates, which is an awesome way to learn. A QUICK NOTE ON SOFTWARE: I use Photoshop Elements (PSE) for all of my scrapbooking (even though I also have Photoshop as part of my Adobe subscription). PSE is a more simplified version of Photoshop with less features but I have always found PSE to do everything I need. It is

Day 6 documents the wrapping paper I will be using this year, so no need for any lengthy, insightful journaling. Just a photo on one side (again using Ali's overlays) and a lovely piece of patterned paper from the Paislee Press 3x8 album kit on the other with a sticker from the kit, a label and a heart added. Super simple and quick. Today I thought I would record making my two digital pages from start to finish just to give you an idea of how digital pages work in real time (
