sharing my ScrapHD scrapbooks

here are the other 2 pages I created. {link below} Remember, this is beta testing. I know you seasoned digital scrappers will notice a couple places for improvement, such as cropping photos and adjusting layers... this is all good stuff we are giving feedback on so that the official opening will be a smooth one.

I'm busy scrappin' HD style

So the ScrapHD beta site finally opened and I've been on there for hours playing with all the features, testing it out and leaving lots of notes along the way. LOL I've I've got a couple first pages to share with you. {well dang it I can't figure out how to share the image in here, blogger isn't cooperating so you can see the next post for a link to my pages.}

They are not perfect but the whole point of a beta site is to test things out and get ready for an fabulous grand opening. I'm really excited for the site to be opened to the masses, to be able to get the membership access and print some layouts. I've already hunted down the local scrapbook store where hopefully they will have the printer to print my pages 12x12 and then I'll be able to embellish. I'm going HD baby!

I'm also having fun browsing the gallery of digital elements and I can't help but brag.... the digital design team for ScrapHD consists of none other than four of our very own ACOT designers!! Whoot!Whoot! WTG Amy Teets, Danielle Young, Kelly Shults and Laura Burger.

Ready for ScrapHD?


The HD stands for Hybrid Designs of course! ScrapHD will be released soon but for now, you can learn a little more about just what is in store. ScrapHD is a club membership based website that gives members access to quality digital designs from some of the top paper manufacturers in the scrapbook industry! We're talking about Imaginisce, Karen Foster, Piggy Tales, Teresa Collins, and 7gypsies -just to name a few. Use the ScrapHD scrapbook builder program to create your own digital layouts. The software is perfect for digital beginners and easy to navigate with a simplified program similar to Adobe Photoshop Elements. There is no need to purchase additional photo editing software. You can upload your own purchased or designed digital products to use with their program as well, so you won't be limited to the designs they offer. When your digital layout is complete, opt to print from home, print using their online services, or use the store locator directory to find you local partnered retailer who will have printing services and coordinating embellishments available to truly make your digital layout a hybrid masterpiece! Plus additional advantages to becoming a ScrapHD member include unlimited storage, access photos online (straight from your blog or facebook for example), a new community of SHD members to share tips, techniques and challenges with, and so much more. Keep your eyes on http://www.scraphd.com/ for more info to come.

Want a free font?

Just two magical words... {free} and {font}. Dont'cha love it? Well if you love freebies and handwriting fonts as much as I do, then hopefully you'll enjoy this one from me.
download MamaK Skinny right hereI had it made years ago and when I happened upon it recently I thought to myself, "I need to share this." It is nothing fancy and not at all professional. Just a little something fun I did once and now I'm gonna give it to you. And ya know, if you actually use it like on a layout or something, I'd love to see!
{Psst! don't forget to leave me a teensy comment... like a :) or thx or just hi -to let me know you're out there} & Thank U for reading :)

Who doesn't love new toys?!

I sure do. I'm talking about the new PhotoBook Creator by Unibind. It is a great tool for digital and paper scrappers... really for anybody! I didn't even imagine the full possibilities of this little machine until I experienced it first hand at CHA. I was so impressed, I wrote up a detailed review that you can read here at A Cherry On Top. Of course, you can buy it at ACOT too, click here to shop. If you're looking for more news about CHA and new product releases, check out the CHA Preview forum at ACOT also. I just received my PhotoBook Creator in the mail this week and I can't wait to make my first book.

Looking Good!

Well my blog finally got a facelift. I tried to do it on my own but Oh it is so difficult trying to figure out how to get all these pretty things in here. So I decided instead to go with a pre-packaged Blog-in-a-Box set from Zoe Pearn at Sweet Shoppe Designs and I am in love! Of course I just had to get the one titled Hawaiian Sunset ;) It really was easy to put together, so if you're in the market for a blog-lift but can't figure out all the mumbo jumbo, check out some Blog in a Box sets.
