Doris Castle , scrapbook artist at ScrapbookGraphicsshares some wonderful "Shutterfly" everyday inspiration..
Since our Blog is about celebrating “Everyday Life”, please share a layout and a quick paragraph telling us about the Everyday Celebration and what made it so special.
"In the layout, My Reason, I show my daughter’s abounding enthusiasm at looking at her very own Shutterfly album. Watching her flip each page, like every one was a present larger than any received at Christmas and squealing in delight as she recounted the stories of the photos and what they meant to her and being excited to see herself and family in a “real book” – this just illustrates my reason for scrapbooking. My reason for scrapbooking is that my children, my family not to just remember our special moments, but to be able to relive the thrill and the stories and make the memories come alive again in their hearts each time they look at the pages lovingly made."

Whispers by Studio Doris
Thanksgiving is right around the corner. People get busy preparing for the family visits, the big meal, and of course all the photo opportunities.
Lucky for us, Doris Castle , scrapbook artist at ScrapbookGraphics has created an elegant square quickpage for us to use over the Thanksgiving holiday. It will help you get your favorite moment from the holiday off your computer or camera and onto a beautiful layout. The quickpage is Shutterfly-ready so all you need to do is add your own photos and journaling then you can get several copies made at Shutterfly. These would make an excellent Christmas gift!
Have fun, enjoy and please share your creations with us! (Please remember that all freebies are for personal use only!)
Doris Castle , graphic artist at ScrapbookGraphics continues to share great info about herself. Enjoy the wonderful inspiration below.
How long have you been scrapbooking?
"About as long as I can remember! Even back in middle school and high school I used to keep albums where I would save my memorabilia of life and journal about it. During college I liked to create logos for local businesses -which is a lot like creating embellishments! After college I became a graphic artist and enjoyed collaging photos together along with titles and descriptions for local photo labs, and then discovered that what I was doing actually had a name.. digital scrapbooking. Once I discovered this, I was hooked and haven’t looked back."
Who or what inspires you most?
"I really find inspiration everywhere.. by looking out a window, or by glancing around in a grocery store line. We are surrounded by art and patterns everywhere, such as wallpaper, furniture, clothes and it just seems to blend into a beautiful background that we just become unmindful to after a while, but taking the time to really look and take it all in, can bring so much inspiration."

Let's start by getting to know a bit about Doris!
Tell us about yourself.
"I am a mom to three wonderful daughters – ages 5, 8 and 11. They keep me on my toes. I have an adoring husband who is also into computers and keeps mine running smooth and fast. I love watching the beauty of nature.. whether it be a smile on my child’s face or the swaying grace of a blooming tree. Being able to scrapbook is a great release for my feelings of gratitude and happiness and a great way to keep myself reminded about these wonderful moments as they quickly pass in schedules of a busy household."
It has been so great getting to know Robin Carlton , owner of Sweet Shoppe Designs in the last couple of weeks here on the Shutterfly Blog. Robin isn't quite done sharing yet. She has a few last tid-bits of info to share about herself and has also created an incredible freebie kit below for each of you to download and create something wonderful with. Enjoy!
Where do you hang out on-line?
"Sweet Shoppe Designs 95% of the time. The rest of the time I’m surfing at Rhapsody as I am a HUGE music junkie."
What is your favorite piece of technology and why?
"I’m a big tech toy fanatic! I’d have to say it’s a toss up between my Macbook Pro which I LOVE and my new LG Dare. I’m so impressed with the GPS navigation and think it’s tons of fun to play with."
Enjoy the great freebie kit below and please remember that all freebie downloads are for personal use only. (by the way, if you create a Shutterfly book using this kit please share it with abull@shutterfly.com and perhaps we will post it here for inspiration!!)
