Hello and Happy New Year! As 2010 begins, I thank all of you who have
been a part of the last two years as Get It Scrapped!
has grown and put down cyber-roots.
We are always looking for the best ways to deliver scrapbooking, art journaling, photography, and digital lessons, and your participation has been essential. Recent upgrades to the Get It Scrapped! forums added improved gallery features and a “shoutbox” that's become a popular way to catch up with old and new friends. Our home page has been revamped to make it easier for everyone to reference an increased number of free scrapbooking how-tos--look for a whole bunch of basic tutorials to be added this month along with special projects and lessons from our teachers.
With the holiday season ending, there are several things going on at Get It Scrapped! this week:
All best,
Debbie Hodge
We are always looking for the best ways to deliver scrapbooking, art journaling, photography, and digital lessons, and your participation has been essential.

Our home page has been revamped to make it easier for everyone to reference an increased number of free scrapbooking how-tos--look for a whole bunch of basic tutorials to be added this month along with special projects and lessons from our teachers.
With the holiday season ending, there are several things going on at Get It Scrapped! this week:
- Oodles of
Doodles with Michelle Houghton starts today. Check out her free
lesson on drawing a Celtic Knot Pattern as well as these examples of the kinds of things you could be adding
to your art journals, cards, and scrapbook pages. (Anyone who took this
class last May has been “grandfathered” in and already has access to the
new class private forum--be sure and come by because Michelle has added
several new lessons.)
- “One Month at a Time” is a 2010 monthly challenge from
Tami Taylor. Her hallmark sense of organization and fun is evident in
her prompts, sketches and encouragement. Join Tami and the rest of us
who are taking this opportunity to put together an album of two-page
layouts summarizing 2010 one month at a time!
- Don’t
miss this free how-to from digital product designer Pattie Knox that
will have you using the clone tool to make a custom brush that will
knock your socks off. Like it? There’s lots more where that came from in
“Still More Mad Digital Skillz” starting January 12th. (If
you took this class last June and would like to participate again,
contact us to be “grandfathered” in.)
- This is the last week
to participate in the Get It Scrapped! Memory-Keeping survey. What’s in it for
you? First, an analysis of the responses that provides insight into the
ways people are keeping memories, whether that be memoir, blogging,
photo albums, scrapbooks, art journals or something else. Second, a
chance to influence our upcoming offerings, and, finally, that warm
feeling that comes from helping us out. Log your answer now so that you’ll be on the mailing list
for the Get It Scrapped! Memory Keeping Report for 2010.
- Katrina Kennedy,
author of Get Me Off Auto, is once again offering “Your Life: Captured Through The Lens,” beginning January
19th. Register for this class, and be certain you’re ready for her
composition class coming in late February. (Due to the high level of
individualized instruction in this class, past participation does NOT
“grandfather” you in. You must register and pay each time you
participate.)
- I'm teaching a new class for the first time in way too long!!! Building Pages starts February 1st, and the twelve lessons offer twelve design starting points for making original and pleasing pages.
All best,
Debbie Hodge
I love your book, and I've started lurking on your blog. I'm wondering about the last class: is it just digintal, or can paper scrappers take it? Thanks!
