As a Scrap Girls Designer I get to write guest articles on the boutique’s blog. Here is one I published on February 17, 2010. I often wonder what to write about. Who better to ask this question of than the readers! I’ve always hoped that blogging would be more of a discussion rather than a series of static posts. I think it is so much more interesting when people read a post and become part of it by commenting. So, tell me, what makes a good post on a digital scrapbooking blog to you? Why do you read digital scrapbooking blogs? Information? Inspiration? Just for fun? Let me know, I value your opinion.
I have a freebie for you today! Get it here.

Tress Light by Marc Sadler ©2009 Foscarini.com
I just thought this light by Marc Sadler at Foscarini was so cool. I saw it in the March 2010 issue of How Magazine. I love interesting patterns of light and shadow and the patterns of light emitted from this lamp must be spectacular. For me, this light juxtaposes a complex positive/negative space with clean line simplicity. It comes in multiple shapes and all of them have the same beautiful lines and play with light.
Not only are we ready, we love football … playing or watching. Our living room floor might as well be a football field, because we basically have a daily game. Not that there’s anything wrong with that. 
So with piles of football pictures in hand, I have started creating layouts about our household’s favorite past-time. This one is Play Action Pass. I have wanted to create a layout that played with 3-D space or the z-axis, but was having trouble coming up with a subject that would work. Then it hit me, football! What better way to have something flying through 3-dimensional space than a ball. Using the Random Tear template really amplified the feeling of the ball bursting through the background. I thought having the play schematic x’s and o’s coming towards the viewer with the football would be a fun touch.

Dare #167: Use 5 emotions, the color red and at least 1 Valentine symbol to create a layout about emotion. (photos optional) I’ve been meaning to get one of these done for awhile and I finally did. Here is my layout about the ever changing moods of a preschooler.
Journaling reads: Such is the life of a “ferocious four-year old.” In a span of minutes, you can hit a wide range of emotions. It amazes me, how fast you can go from silly to angry, to hurt, to sad & then to happy. You are sort of an emotional time-bomb … at any given moment, we have no idea what you will be feeling. It keeps us on our toes as you navigate the world of human emotions and discover how to manage them. No matter what you feel, we will always be here for our little cutie.
This layout is what popped into head when I read the challenge. You can check out all the cool dares and get in on the action yourself at Digi Dares.
