Celebrate Digital Scrapbooking Day Two Peas Style!

Happy Digital Scrapbooking Day!

The Peas are hopping for Digital Scrapbook Day and this is my post on the journey.

You should have come from Polka Dot Pixels and your next stop will be Jen Martakis but if you get lost along the way you can pop along to the Two Peas Digital Blog to get the complete list. At each station there will be part of a code for you to collect. At the end of the line (so to speak) you will have a complete code that will allow you access to the fabulous collaboration FREEBIE (limited time only) in the Two Peas Store. The part of my code you are collecting from my page can be found at the end of this post :)

My own contribution as part of the Creative Team is this template

and my sample page using it (plus goodies from the collaboration)

As well as this freebie there are a range of challenges to inspire you, each of which gives you the chance to win a $5 gift certificate to the Two Peas store. The challenges can be found here. My own challenge is a Theme Challenge, based around the word Reflection 

I hope you enjoy your freebie and find time to join in with our challenges.

The part of the code from my stop is - p

Hello Sunshine! MScraps Blog Hop Goodness!

Wow! Isn't this gorgeous? And that preview DOES NOT include everything you can collect on this blog/facebook hop. Nope, not at all. There are other designer goodies as well as a whole bunch of  things from the members of the Creative Team such as Quick Pages, Templates and Clusters.

You should have come here from Sonia (gateausoso) and your next stop will be at Tammy (tj7933). But in case you get lost, you can find the complete listing of all stops at the MScraps forum.


Here are some pages I made to showcase this collaboration:

 Enjoy!

Starting off at ZigZagScrap!

To celebrate Digital Scrapbooking Day, we have a totally amazing blog train. And I really do mean amazing! The theme is Memory Keepers and it is such a beautifully soft and elegant colour palette. Plus there is an even more amazing 50% storewide (pretty well everything) sale! and not forgetting the games and challenges being hosted on the forum!

And there is even more to shout about as we have FOUR NEW DESIGNERS joining the shop this week too, really there is so much to choose from in store it's unreal!

Here's a page from me using the fabulousness from the blog train:

And a whole selection of inspiration from the other members of the Creative Team:

So you are probably here for your freebie, right? Okay well I love word art and don't think you can ever have enough, so I've got a pack for you available to download from Dropbox.

Not totally sure about the scrapbooking is cheaper than therapy, but it's okay to let other people think that :D

If you are following the train order, you will have arrived here from Terese of t for me designs and your next stop will be Rita of Blue Flower Art and if you get lost along the way you can find the whole listing over in this post at the ZigZagScrap Fun Place. Be aware that our team is diverse and spread throughout various corners of the earth! If the blog post link isn't up and running when you first visit it, give it a whirl a little later on.

The freebies from the Design Team are only around until Monday 7th November, after that you will have to head over to the store. My own freebie (can't speak for the other Creative Team members) will be around for a little longer :)

Enjoy!

A freebie fruity framework for you!

I do love alliteration lol!

Things have been incredibly hectic this end. Seen far more of the Royal Derby hospital than I ever felt I needed to, and for far too many times too!

Josh's birthday came and went as has Mia's (my baby is TEN! - how did that happen?!) Chiara's is next on the list in May. FIL is still very poorly in hospital (thank you everyone for all your thoughts and wishes, they do mean a lot to me).

I have been doing a lot of creating in some form or another, whether it be baking and decorating, creating party pieces, cards, paper scrapping or digital scrapping. I just haven't really had the time to sit down and get all my thoughts together and bits and bobs organised for sharing properly.

Updating my slide shows is moving up my list of priorities (as should be clearing my paper scrapping space).

Just for now though I wanted to share a digital scrapbook template freebie with you. Bear with me, I haven't shared a download on my blog before so I am really hoping that I have it all figured out right. It's a .psd layered template, based on this digital page:

Which, in turn, was based on this paper page made for A Trip Down Memory Lane for a monthly DT gallery using My Little Shoebox papers:

Scraplifting your own pages is in no way cheating! Nope, it's making the best of what you've already done and can be a great timesaver too.

Download the digital template here

Please let me know if you have any problems and I'll try to figure them out.

Oh and, if you don't digital scrapbook, here's the sketch for you instead :)
