Creative Team Layout Tracker and Challenge Layout Tracker Freebies

Hello there! I don’t know about you, but sometimes I feel like being the Memory Keeper for my family can be quiet overwhelming. If you scrapbook digitally or traditionally with paper, there is a chance that you are either are on a Creative Team for a designer (or store) or that you regularly participate in challenges.

I do both … and I admit, keeping up with it all can be a challenge.

With my Creative Teams, I have to know which products are releasing when, the name of the page I created with the designer’s kit so I can easily find it when the kit goes live, and make sure I am uploading to all my galleries and social media in a timely matter. If you are on one team it can be daunting, if you are many … it can become quiet the task to manage it all!

I use this Creative Team Layout Tracker to keep my CT layouts organized.  I print a few out each month, punch holes into the side, and place into my binder.  I wanted to pass it along to you, in case you felt it could come in handy. It really has become a life saver for me! Click on the image to download.

CT Layout TrackerAnd because I like to participate in store challenges, I also created one to keep track of those layouts as well. Even though it is not a commitment to upload these layouts anywhere except for the store that is hosting the challenge, I do often like to include these layouts in my various galleries. This sheet helps me keep track of what challenges I need to complete, the deadline and the galleries that I want to upload them to. Feel free to download my Challenge Layout Tracker by clicking on the image!

Happy iNSD Pixel & Co Style … CT Blog Hop

Hello there! If you are a scrapbooker or memory keeper … this is a huge weekend for you right? Sales, blog hops, freebies, games & contests, prizes and challenges … seriously the list of fun activities to participate in is endless. As a digital scrapbooker … I love that my favorite stores go all out on this weekend. My favorite thing about the weekend (besides the awesome sales, duh) is games and challenges!

I’ve got my eye on this fun game … What Color Are You? Take the quiz, find out your “color” and scrap a layout with that color.

What’s your favorite part of iNSD?

At Pixel & Co. there are tons of challenges, games and speed scraps to help you to get involved in the fun.

Here is the truly amazing Bermuda Triangle Collab created by the Pixel & Co Designers. It is all yours, free … just follow along on their blog hop.

Pixel & Co. | April Guest CT

This year, I have become sort of a digi scrapping – challenge addict. I try to limit the number of stores where I participate so things don’t become too overwhelming. I love The Lily Pad’s monthly and weekly challenges. And I love Pixel & Co.’s all new monthly challenges.  Pixel & Co. also offers weekly challenges with their 3 way challenges.

I get so many pages done each month by participating in these challenges. And there are benefits too. Yes, I said it … scrapping with benefits. Total win.

It varies by store but generally you get a % off coupon to go shopping and a chance to be  part of their Creative Team for a month as a guest. So fun. For April … I’m a Guest CT at Pixel & Co.

Here are some of the pages I’ve created while guesting at this fantastic store:

Crushin’ On … Digital Designer | Pink Reptile Designs

Hi there! I wanted to let you know that I’m starting a new series on my blog … Crushin’ On. It will feature my latest crushes & things I love. Anything and everything … from Digital Designers, scrapbookers, Etsy love, crafters, fashion, trends and artists. Each Crushin’ On feature will be categorized under the appropiate menu on my blog header for easy navigation!

Stitch:  is where you will find all things crafty and DIY; whether it be creating pretty things for home decor, crafty tutorials, fashion, sharing recipes and ideas for dinner planning, updates on sales & new products in my felt accessories Etsy shop: Pretty in Posies, or  lifestyle posts.

Snap: is where you will find all things photography, scrapbooking, memory keeping, and Project Life.

Sketch: is where you will find all things illustration and graphic design; I might share something from my sketchbook, a digital freebie, a tutorial, or some of graphic design work.

Today … to kick off my new Crushin’ On series ….

I want to share some fun pages with the amazing products created by Mirjam of Pink Reptile Designs. Mirjam has a fun, bold & eclectic look to her designs … which I absolutely adore. Her kits always have sweet, unique elements, with lots of had drawn pieces and the colors she chooses for her kits are so bright and fun! I’ve been a fan of her work for awhile … and I was thrilled when she invited me to guest on her Creative Team for the month of April.

Here are just a few recent products from Pink Reptile Designs, but go check out all the Pink Reptile Designs at The Lilypad … I’m sure you’ll fall in love, like I did.

These cards are a sweet center piece for  your digital pages and are perfect to add to your hybrid pages too … as PDFs for printing are included!
