Today's Special of the Day!Save 30% off this Paper Pack Biggie today only! Each week, we will be spotlighting one designer and one of their favorite products. This product will be on sale for one day only at 30% off! This week's designer spotlight is on Kim Meeder. In a brief interview, she shared these comments with us... "I love polka dots! They just make me smile! I wear them, display them, and design with them. Almost all of my collections have some sort of polka dot pattern in them... some are subtle and some are not. I find that polka dot patterns can add just the right amount of pop and pizazz to an, otherwise, ordinary digital scrapbooking layout. To quench my appetite for all things polka dot, I have created basic polka dot papers in a spectrum of colors for year-round use. And, to make it super easy and affordable, I have packaged them all in one product." 1. What is your favorite flavor of ice cream? Ben & Jerry's Chunky Monkey! But, I have to say that I love to make homemade ice cream and I have the secret Penn State creamery recipe. (If you didn't know, Ben and Jerry attended Penn State's Ice Cream University before starting their ice cream business.) And, no I can't divulge the recipe... even to Scrap Girls. 2. What is currently playing on your iPod/radio? Probably Contemporary Christian. But, I love a lot of different genres depending on my mood. |

*ADVERTISEMENTS*

- A Designer's Life: Keri Schueller - My Happy List
-
The world is very good at telling us what should make us happy, and I'm guilty of believing it from time to time. The longer I live, the more it becomes apparent to me that it isn't true. Sure, I still find myself with glazed-over eyes from time to time when I see things that others have, but it doesn't last long. The big house, the shiny cars, the boats, you name it... they don't actually guarantee happiness.
- Life Muse by Ro: Big Things. Little Things. Which Makes the Biggest Difference?
-
Have you ever noticed that prayers are sometimes answered in unusual ways? The night before I found the tag containing this bit of wisdom on the floor, I had been on my knees begging for forgiveness for an enormous laundry list of flaws. I felt overcome with my inability to improve because most of the issues seem to be associated with my personality. And changing your personality is hard – if not impossible.
- Creating Canvas Blocks
-
In preparing for this assignment, I made a trip to our local craft store to get some ideas for our May Scrap Girls Club. For me, a trip to the craft store, just like the office supply store, is my trip to the candy store! I love all the bright colors, the packaging, the rows of pens and brushes and paper! Lately, I have been really interested in art canvas and the non-framed appearance for pictures and artwork, including layouts. As I was browsing the canvas aisle, I found a neat set of inexpensive 4x4-inch canvas blocks. I suddenly had an idea for my Scrap Girls Club Craft!
- How to Use a JIF 6 Kit
-
Do you want to digitally scrapbook but find that you are lacking the time or energy to do it? JIF Kits are the answer! JIF Kits are one of the fastest and easiest ways to create a finished layout within minutes - literally. They are fast like an Easy Page, yet they keep everything on separate layers, allowing you to move and customize it to your preference. Let me show you just how easy it is!
Scrap Girls, Etc. is a column pulling bits and pieces from all over Scrap Girls. Stay tuned as Scrap Girls' team members bring you tutorials, musings, recipes, interviews, design/software tips and tricks, layout walk-throughs, and who knows what else!

Join April (April Showers) each Wednesday at 10am MT for the East Coast High Noon Crop. All coasts and time zones are welcome! These crops are designed to allow you to work on your own photos and themes, simply giving participants a one hour goal and a fun, new challenge each week.
On May 23rd, we'll do a font challenge! Create a layout on any theme, any topic, and any colors - using multiple fonts - at least three different fonts! Mix it up!
Create your layout and upload it to the special High Noon Crop Gallery. You'll be amazed what you can get done in just one hour, but there is no High Noon Sheriff timing you! Hope to see you in the chat room!
May's Forum Game: Boutique Alphabet Game!
The Boutique Alphabet Game is back! Do you remember playing the game "I am going on a _____ hunt and bringing..." where each player listed items starting with a specific letter? We are playing a similar game on the Scrap Girls Forum during the month of May. Each day except Sundays, a team member will post a new theme and starting letter in the game thread. Members then will search the Scrap Girls Boutique for a product that fits the theme and post it in the game thread. Entries are to follow the alphabet starting with the letter posted with the theme each day. Only one product per letter per round will be counted and products may not be used more than once. Collections and their individual parts count as one product. Time stamps will be used to determine credit in the case of duplicate letter or product posts. There is a limit of three game posts per person each day and another player must post before posting again. Member names will be added to a drawing based on the number of qualified product links posted in the thread.
Prizes will be awarded at the end of the month and winners will be announced in the June 9th Newsletter. Gift certificates will be awarded as follows: $15 SG Gift Certificate for first place, $10 SG Gift Certificate for second place and a $5 SG Gift Certificate for third place.
For complete details, visit the Monthly Forum Games folder on the Scrap Girls Forum.
May Monthly Layout Contest: May is a big month in the northern hemisphere for flowers. For this month's layout contest, we're going to give a little twist on the usual flower photos. We want you to try your hand at extreme close-ups. Be creative in point of view and angle. Even most point-and-shoot cameras have a close-up mode. Do the best you can with the equipment you have and scrap a layout with a photo or two – or three. Your submission will be judged on its merit as a layout, not necessarily the photography. Post your layouts in the May Monthly Layout Gallery before Midnight MDT on May 31st. Be sure to list your layout's product credits in the description or under the EXIF Properties. Two layouts will be selected to win a $10 Gift Certificate to the Scrap Girls Boutique!
Club Concepts Layout Contest: Post your new layout using the current club selection (either the Scrap Girls Club or the ScrapSimple Club) in our Scrap Girls Club Members Gallery or the ScrapSimple Club Members' Gallery. Be sure to list all of the Scrap Girls products you used. If your layout is chosen, it will be showcased as a Club Concepts layout winner, and you will win a $5 Gift Certificate to the Scrap Girls Boutique!
