Digital Roundup: It's all about me this week.. :P

I wanted to point out, for those of you who aren’t subscribers to Creating Keepsakes (or who are subscribers and missed it!) a couple of cool things from the past couple months.

I’ve got video tutorials at CreatingKeepsakes.com each month, with an accompanying article in the magazine. Here are the links to the tutorials:

January 2008: Create a double-frame effect on a single photo. Free frame download from Katie Pertiet at DesignerDigitals.

February 2008: Create shaped journaling. Free half-circle journaling templates.

March 2008:  Not up yet. :D But it’s a good one! ;) To keep tabs on it, just head over to CreatingKeepsakes.com and click on Magazine.

Also: the sneak peek for Computer Tricks 2 is up! There is an entire bonus section in the back of the book that deals with making quick hybrid albums, and you can download one of the albums right now:

Click here to read more about and download A Year in our Ordinary Life album templates.

And as one last and final bonus for reading ALL the way to the end of this entry, here is a teeny little link to a free kit that I created as part of the bonus for the Computer Tricks 2 issue. Click here to download the Home Away from Home kit. Now aren’t you glad you kept reading? ;)

You can also go here to catch up on the full sneak peek and read more goofy stuff about and by me that I totally didn’t plan but I’m sharing anyway. :P 

I’m heading out tomorrow to the CHA tradeshow, and will report back. :)

Oh, I love the effect in the January tutorial. and hey! I know just exactly what to do thank to NWR! layer masks ROCK! LOL!

Thanks for the tutorials and freebies and other information. Very inspiring!

[Melissa K]

Thank you , thank you, thank you! I really wanted to do a month-by-month first year album for my daughter (who is now one!) but haven't kicked myself into gear to design one. This is exactly the kind of format I wanted to do! Plus, it's got your fantastic style all over it, so there's nothing I don't like.

Now I'm motivated! ;)

Thanks for the goodies

I am so glad you are taking a step back and realizing you need to slow down! Sure took me a heck of a lot longer to realize that than it did you!! :)

[Junebug]

Thank you for the links. The template is beautiful, as always. I can't wait to get my hands on the new CT. Enjoy yourself at CHA and make sure to take that much needed QT for yourself.

[dawns]

Jessica...I am patiently waiting for my UPS driver to arrive (ok, maybe not so patiently) with your CT2 book! Your Home Away from Home kit looks awesome! I can't wait to use it on a digi-page.
Hope you have a great trip to CHA.

[jenny]

thx for the freebies.

and remember -- if the medicine doesn't work, don't give up on the idea. tell the doctor and switch to a different one. sometimes you need to do a little trial and error.

[Deirdre]

Thanks for all the great links, and BRAVO to you for taking care of your health and sanity! The greatest gift you can give your family as well as yourself.

I'm excited to take your photo-editing PSE class down the road, but more than willing to wait till the time is right.

And I can't wait to make my soon-to-be 3 yr old his own alpha album!

[Barbara]

Thank you for the freebies, I can have fun playing with the great kit and templates whilst waiting for my Computer Tricks 2 to arrive. Am loving your courses, you're a natural teacher. Take care of yourself and your beautiful family.

Girl, it IS all about you. Have a great time at CHA (forgot to ask you to pack ME in your carry-on). Thanks as always for all you do. Glad you're taking time for you, and glad you're feeling better. Just pre-ordered "Computer Tricks 2"...that will keep me busy till "Diggin' in" goes live. Hang in there!

This is so cool of you, Jessica. Thank you for the jumpstart back into digi scrapping. I needed a boost!

Have fun in California. I do hope the weather is wonderful for you.

Gosh Jessica - these freebies are awesome! Thanks so very very much!

[Ramie]

Thank you so much Jessica. These are fantastic! That album is gonna be Christmas gifts for our far away family this year I think. If I start now, I may actually get them all done in time! (I'm hoping to print each month within a few days after the end of the month!).

Thanks again!

[Carol]

I have enjoyed watching the double frame effect on a single photo. Although I haven't employed that effect with the double frame, I've done what you did to the background of a couple of photographs. OH MY! What a difference it has made. Thank you!

[Nicole]

No sorry, the link to the (2007) album is not working for me. Has it been taken off the CK site?

[Cindy]

Jessica,
I tried the link for the templates for a year in the Ordinary life and couldn't get it to work. What am I doing wrong. I would love to work on that for this year and last year.
