New Creative Team at Get It Scrapped!

Please join us in welcoming the members of the first Get It Scrapped Creative Team to our online family.

This group of talented women come from all over the world and use a variety of formats, tools, mediums and approaches for telling their stories on scrapbook pages. We are thrilled that they’ve agreed to help us expand our free offerings at Get It Scrapped and Easy Scrapbook Pages.

Boy am I over the moon with this one. I am so lucky to be invited to join this amazing team. If you are scratching your head and thinking “hey don’t you already work for this team?” you are right in part. I have been a teacher and article contributer at Get It Scrapped for quite some time now. The Creative Team is a whole different can of worms so to speak and I am beyond thrilled to be contributing in a whole new way at Get It Scrapped!

Comparing Alcohol Markers

I have a new article over at Get It Scrapped. I purchased 3 other styles of alcohol markers to see how they stacked up against Copic Sketch markers. You can see the first installment that examines some of the facts of all four marker brands and then looks at Spectrum Noir markers a little closer. Check it out HERE.

Tree Motif

Amy Kingsford wrote a recent article for Get It Scrapped looking at a whole range of layouts using tree motifs. You should really take a peek I got a ton of ideas from the artists and the variety of tree shapes and layers. One of my favorite layouts made it in the list as well, my Mom will recognize this one, it is a favorite of hers as well.
