Exciting New Paperclipping Digi Show with Katie Pertiet and Me!
Today’s episode of the Paperclipping Digi Show is especially exciting. Designer and owner of Designer Digitals, Katie Pertiet was a guest. I have long admired Katie’s products, as well as the professional and creative atmosphere of Designer Digitals. As you can imagine, I was excited seeing as I was a guest on PDS today as well! The topic was making sure to set aside time for scrapbooking, despite a busy schedule.
You can check out the latest episode at Paperclipping. I can’t wait for all of you to hear it!
Digital Scrapbooking Trend Watch: Blocked In
One thing that I am noticing more and more in the galleries is blocking in layouts. Last week, on my Facebook Page, someone asked if I could share with them how to create blocked layouts. I always find that blocking on a layout creates a sense of order on a page, and often can create a simple, calm look. Today I wanted to explore this trend a bit more, and see what’s out there for us scrappers.
There are some great layouts out there that are using blocking in them. I even found a few in my gallery that I had forgotten about.
If you are looking for some digital scrapbooking layouts to help you create a blocked look quickly and easily, you are in luck as there are TONS available. Here are some of my favorites:

Digital Scrapbooking Trend Watch: You Spin Me Right Round
In this installment of Trend Watch, I want to look at circles. Lately, I have seen circles becoming more and more present in digital scrapbooking layouts and designs. Sometimes, the circles are large and used as mats or journal spots, and sometimes they are small and used to scatter like bubbles. I also love when the photos are cropped into circles, I love the way it breaks from the normal rectangular picture.
Take a look at these digital scrapbooking layouts that use circles….
