Upcoming Scrapbook Events, New Designer Digitals, & A Couple Digital Freebies

Looking for a scrapbook retreat/event to attend this year? I've got just a couple in-person things planned for 2010 that I am excited to share with you: one in the US with Technique Tuesday where I will be teaching a journaling workshop and one in Greece with Cocoa Daisy. If 2011 is better for you, I will be be traveling to Italy with ScrapMap in 2011.

Technique-Tuesday-Bliss-Logo-Medium The super creative team at Technique Tuesday have put together a new event called B.L.I.S.S. that will be held June 10th through June 12th in Portland, Oregon. The weekend involves six creative sessions, including a new 2-hour journaling workshop taught by me. You can get all the details, including cost and lodging, here.

In September I will be traveling with Cocoa Daisy to Mykonos, Greece for an international destination adventure along with Jenni Bowlin and Karen Russell. The dates for this event are September 20th through the 26th. I will be teaching a new Scrapbook On The Road class - perfect for documenting this vacation event or another adventure in the future. You can get all the details about this travel experience here.

I released three new products at Designer Digitals this past weekend:

LT926559 

The Beauty of Now Layered Template

DS414255

Painted Words Brushes & Stamps

DS983092 

Baptism HandDrawn Brushes

I also wanted to let you know about two free downloads that were recently featured on Shutterfly's Celebrations blog. Click the links to download via their blog.

The first free download is a Digital Quick Page (this means all the layers are flattened & you don't move individual elements around). Just add your photos behind the "open windows" and add some journaling.

The second free download is a package of winter digital elements.

Hope you have a great Monday! Anna is sleeping in right now because of the darkness from the time change.

    Thanks Ali! I uploaded the 'winter' elements. Fun!
    I see Italy includes a stop in Siena. It's my favorite place on earth (so far) One of those places of the heart for sure.

    Thank you for these wonderful freebies! The quick page was just what I needed to scrap some pictures I had in mind. And I simply love your tags and twills.

    Ali, you are one of the main reasons I signed up for B.L.I.S.S.!!! Your style of scrapbooking really motivates me and the stamps you design for Technique Tuesday just bring it all home. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THEM!!! I may sound dumb for asking this question, but can you explain to me how the designer digitals work? I do traditional scrapbooking and the only thing I use my computer for is photo editing (photoshop) and maybe typing up journaling. I have wanted to experiment a little bit more, but I guess fear is all that is stopping me. Thanks so much! Again, can't wait for B.L.I.S.S.

    I download the quick page, but I don't understand how to add photos in Photoshop behind the "open windows". I'm a beginner in Photoshop. Thanks.

    I have downloaded a few quick pages, but have yet to try it. I won a Reneed Pearson class, "Just the Basics" but havent' finished yet. I am sure they will all come in handy once I learn to do it all. Thanks so much.

    I saw on Shutterfly your "Celebrate Everything" book. Awesome - Are you or can you sell just the separate templates for this. I am just not "digital book" person and more just random pages. I love it - very inpsiring.
