A New Year's Resolution : From Kate Teague

Kate Teague, Two Peas Garden Girl, shares a New Year's resolution:

"This year as I had all of my layouts printed into books for gifts I realized that I am not present in near enough of my pages. I am writing down my daughter’s life story but am often forgetting to write my family story. For this next year, one of my goals is to get in front of the camera more and to make more pages that include me. I am in some of my pages, but I know that I would have loved to have some of my Mom’s thoughts in a book about being a new mother and the trials and tribulations of motherhood."

Here is a calendar for the new year. It is 8X10 in size so it can be printed and will fit a standard 8X10 frame. Please remember that all freebies are for personal use only! Download Calendar Here.jpg  You can purchase Kate's complete kit here!

Here is a link to all the twopeas calendar kits and yearly templates as well! Enjoy!

Kate shares further inspiration! She created a layout with a template from the Better Homes and Gardens Scrapbook Blog that shows all the Shutterfly books she gave as gifts this Holiday Season! She calls it "Photo Book Christmas!" Very clever Kate!

Hybrid Inspiration : A Challenge from Katie Pertiet!

Katie Pertiet, owner of designerdigitals responded to the week # 3 question of "Do you hybrid scrap?" by saying:

"Last year I printed out my holiday images onto fabric, tore the fabric and sewed it onto card stock for gift tags for presents. The sewing machine has to be one of my favorite tools for scrapping and creating art! I challenge you to take out your sewing machine and see where it takes you! Or you can always snag some digital stitches at digitaldesigners ."

Week #2 Question: What is your favorite design element that you are using this holiday season?

Jen Wilson, owner of jenwilsondesigns.com said:

"For us. the holidays are all about the little details!! I love capturing 100's (if not 1000's) of photos of featuring our family traditions of decorating, baking and other festivities. I'm looking forward to making our holiday album again highlighting our favorite memories of the season!

Scrapbooking for me is not only a way for me to create art but also a way for me to capture the details. Due to the fact I do take so many pictures, I look for ways to make journalling quick yet beautiful and that's why I find the use of journal cards a BIG bonus !!!

This holiday season I'll be making a huge collection of fun holiday journal cards and tags and can't wait to get those in the store!! Early November those will appear in my store!!"

Holiday Scrapbooking Ideas: Maya's Element Inspiration!

Maya, owner of Scrapbookgraphics, responded to the Week #2 Question of  "What is your favorite digital scrapbooking design element that you are using this holiday season?" by saying:

"I think we will be seeing a lot more unconventional colour pallets this Holiday Season, such as pink and teal combinations and many of the designers at scrapbookgraphics are already planning elements with dreamy and flowing swirls. Hand doodled embellishments are also still very big this year as are clusters of elements that give the feeling of layered hand crafted work such as felts, stitching and buttons combined. While unconventional may be trendy, I have a personal affinity toward vintage or antique elements that strike a memory chord and remind us of traditional holidays of days gone by. I am leaning toward doing a designed card using these very types of elements."

Making Holiday Cards: Kate Teague shares her tips!

We thought it would be fun to ask our talented Shutterfly DSAT members a question every week and then share those exclusive responses right here with you. We hope you enjoy the wonderful holiday inspiration.

Week #1 Question:  How are you thinking of creating your holiday card this year?

Kate Teague, Two Peas Garden Girl said:

"I am a sucker for red and green at Christmas. I know, I know, it’s so cliché and overdone but to me it says the holidays are coming. For me, colour signals so much. Pastels for Easter, orange for Halloween and red and green for Christmas.  So this year, I stayed true to my colour loves and designed my card with my two favourite beacons of Christmas. I added some Holly berries in for good measure. Now the hard part comes in- getting my family to pose for the portrait!  Wish me luck! In another post here on the holiday blog I’ve included a freebie of my tag for you to use on your pages if you like. I’ll be including it in a larger Christmas kit that will be available at Two Peas in A Bucket. "
