July 2023 Digital Scrapbooking Update

By Marisa Lerin Wed, 09/20/2023 - 23:00

I thought I would take a quick minute to update you on my projects I said I work on this year. Read about my goals and ideas I set for 2023 here. Hopefully you enjoy seeing what I'm up to as writing this post is helpful for me to see what I'm doing and see if I want to make changes to my creative habits.

It may sound a little early, but I've been thinking about 2024 and if there's anything new to start. I'm thinking a little bit about forming some sort of "club" focused either on community support for keeping up a practice or perhaps learning something? If this inspires an idea from you and something you'd like to be a part of, please let me know in the comments below.

Memory Planner
Keeping up with my digital memory planner. I tend to fill out this planner at the end of the day, after things have already happened. I really love making the little daily spreads. It's nice to do some really low commitment scrapping, it can be as much or as little as I want, but it helps to keep me in the daily practice of scrapbooking.

Welcome New Designer Meagan!

By Marisa Lerin Thu, 09/14/2023 - 00:07

So thrilled to announce that we are adding Meagan Johnson as a new designer to our team here at DigitalScrapbook.com . I have been watching her pocket scrapping designs develop for years and she has finally taken the plunge to join us here! Meagan is a dedicated pocket scrapper, doing a lot of her scrapping with apps instead of a big program like Photoshop. She's a great resource if you're looking for a lighter way to scrapbook that doesn't require a computer. Check out her Facebook group for more details, or leave her a comment below.

Here's a little hello from Meagan:

Hey scrappy friends! I live in MN with my husband and 4 kids (21, 18, 13 and 6) I started scrapbooking 20 years ago when my first son was one. It didn’t come easy for me in the beginning but I LOVED my pictures so much that I wanted them to shine and I wanted our memories recorded alongside them. I persisted and found my scrappy voice. I have loads of physical scrapbooks that I love! We have lived all over the country and I have packed up and hulled my scrapbook supplies along. It is usually one of the first rooms I unpack!

Once my third son was born (along the smart phone with it’s endless stream of photo taking capabilities) I became bogged down with photos! I then started digital scrapbooking and pocket page scrapping. While I still physical scrapbook, I now get most of my pages done in the Project Life app…on my phone, in the car, on the plane, in bed! I need my scrapping to be fast, flexible and on-the-go to stay current!

I started designing pocket card kits in 2020 at the onset of the global pandemic. I really want my photos to shine so I love a clean, minimal style with a lot of white space. I really enjoy creating color palettes, patterns and word art. Sometimes a find a little grunge to go a long way too!

I'm thrilled to have a dedicated pocket designer here at DigitalScrapbook.com . I love pocket scrapping myself and look forward to using her cards in my upcoming pages. And here's her first kit. Looking forward to many more!
