I am always on the lookout for creative ways to use my daughters’ art work. I shared this tip in Digital Scrapbooking Magazine a few years ago, but it is definitely worth repeating. (Speaking of which, raise your hand if you miss DSM.) Use your child’s art work to create a custom notecards! It is… read more »
Video Blog: Inkubook Review
For the past three years I have diligently taken a photo (almost) every day to document the daily life of our family. To me, our ordinary routines and tasks are the most special to me. The ordinary really is extraordinary. Little glimpses of my girls growing up, the foods we eat, the games we play,… read more »
Coffee for Good

I live on Seattle’s Eastside. Unless you live under a rock, you know that Seattle = Starbucks. There are eight Starbucks within a three mile radius of my home. I’m not a “must have a daily latte” kind of girl, but I do stop by for a cup of caffeinated deliciousness a few times a… read more »

I had a moment of scrapbooking brilliance as I was drinking my coffee this morning. (Humble, I know.) Did you ever read about the 12 on 12 Project on Cathy Zielske’s blog a few years ago? What a great idea! I did it once, and then went and had a baby. In fact, I think this… read more »
Happy Digital Scrapbooking Day!

{Product Review} Becky Higgins Page Protectors

I have been a huge Becky Higgins fan since the moment I opened Creative Sketches for Scrapbooking. Fast forward a few years to Project Life. Simplicity + Scrapbooking. Does it really get any better? I used Project Life for my 2009 POTD album, but I had a terrible time keeping up with journalling on the… read more »
