I've recently gotten in to digital scrapbooking. I just love it and there are so many free kits you can download and free templates and so I've been downloading cute kits like crazy, lol. I work in Photoshop Elements 6 and follow several designer's blogs including some that just post all the freebies from the day. There are literally tons of new freebie kits every day. Well, then a friend of mine told me about a forum for digital scrapbooking and it has daily challenges. This was perfect for me because it meant that I could join in the challenges and force myself to do my scrapbooks that I never finish. So, I joined this weekend and jumped right in with the challenges. These are the two pages I made over the weekend. Saturday was "cookie decorating" challenge and you receive a template and make a page from that. It was so much fun and I love the page that I created. Sunday was "Spin and Lift"... they pick a gallery and you choose one of the pages to spin 45 degrees, 90 degrees, flip horizontally or vertically or whatever you decide and then lift it (kinda like shoplifting) in other words, copy or be inspired by the layout. Below are the two pages I completed.
So, if anyone wants to join in some challenges, but don't want to do a daily one like on the forum I joined... join us at My Great Retreat for a weekly scrapbooking challenge or for help on how to do digital scrapbooking, along with regular chit chat, blogging chat, photography chat and other DIY project chat.

I have a feeling you guys are going to suck me into a new hobby! I love seeing what everyone's doing. What's the digital scrapbooking forum you're talking about? I'd love to maybe check it out.
Hi Heather, just started reading your blog. :) Very cute pages you made! I was inspired by them so I decided to join MGR. What's your name on MGR so I can put you down as my referrer?
