The Pixel and Paper Series highlights digital techniques and products for scrapbookers like you and me. I believe that everyone should consider digital elements to be a part of their scrapbooking toolbox, so let’s learn together what the possibilities are. Each week, I’ll be sharing the opinion of a real-life scrapbooker to reveal how they use digital [...]
Sometimes I want to scrap a photo and don’t have much to really journal about. In this case, I didn’t want to gush and gush about our beautiful little boy… it was enough with the word art I created… clean and simple. It might seem like such a plain layout to so many scrappers out [...]
