Coming home means lots of things to share that have been piling up.

Here's a few things that might be of interest to you:


December Daily 2010 | I'm in the final stages of picking an album and plan to work on my December Daily foundation over the next few days. Look for a full post at the end of next week.


ScrapMap Event in Italy 2011 | The next event I'm scheduled to participate in is a Tour of Tuscany with ScrapMap in October 2011. I'll be teaching two classes in addition to touring around Tuscany.

Layout A Day with Lain Ehmann | I recently had a great phone conversation/interview with Lain Ehmann for her October Layout A Day series. Here's what Lain has to say about this 31-day challenge: "Layout A Day (LOAD) is a month-long scrapbooking challenge that will give you new inspiration, daily challenges, whiter teeth, and minty-fresh breath! October's theme is "Story," and we'll be exploring how to incorporate our personal stories into our scrapbook pages (no, it's not all about journaling!). Participants will be treated to a daily inspiration e-mail, audio interviews with fantastic storytellers like Ali Edwards, Celeste Smith, Noell Hyman, and Katrina Kennedy, an online gallery and message board, and a chance to win fabuloust prizes." Sign up and more info here.


The Daily Digi | The Daily Digi has a brand new subscription service called The Digi Game available for their monthly collaboration kits (The Digi Files) and Playbooks. Check out all the details and options on this new service here.

    Ali, I'm SO looking forward to The December Daily! I have to admit I have some pages leftover to finish from last years, but the new December Daily will motivate me to do just that!

    Look how excited we all are!
    One thing I already did was savw a couple of cereal boxes. I plan to use them as chipboard, and can cut them in any odd shape/size I want. Anyone else got some fun ideas?

    I looked at the ScrapMap itinerary and and fell in love. I've been to Italy twice now, and of the 14 countries I've been too, it is still my very favorite (Greece is a close second, though!) What a fantastic trip! I have wanted to go to Cinque Terre and haven't had the opportunity to go yet. Good luck with all of your projects, I know you'll continue to whip up some fantastic stuff to inspire us all :)

    I don't have to do anything. I fixed my album last year, but lots of things happened, so I was not able to do it. I just changed the 09 for the 10. Its all good with my DD prep work :) And its my sons first xmas!

    You're up to some really cool things! I'm glad to see that I'm not the only one with a messy room, although mine tends to be that way constantly... Thanks for sharing!

    I have been thinking about my December Daily. Gathering a few items and waiting to see what you have in store. I did it last year for the first time and can't wait to do it again this year. Last year I didn't get my foundation done ahead of time and it stressed me. This year I am going to be up on my game!!

    So glad your back. Looking forward to starting my December Daily this year. I watched all last year as you put yours together and this year I'm going to do. It's my mission right along with making gifts for everyone. Can't wait! Let's just hope I can keep my momentum.
