DSD at SNP!

DSD @ SNP!

Every fall, the first weekend of November, the digi-scrap world celebrates our version of Super Bowl weekend or Mardi Gras.  It's Digital Scrapbook Day/Weekend, or more commonly known as DSD (or iDSD for International Digital Scrapbook Day).  This isn't to be confused with NSD in May.  That is National Scrapbook Day, celebrating all forms of the craft, both digital and traditional.

We, at Scraps N Pieces, take both weekends seriously and look forward to it, both in the planning of it and celebrating it with our members and friends.  This year is no exception!  To scrapbook is to collect and preserve memories through craft.  We want to focus on how we capture those memories this year with Capture My World.

 

Members can participate in various challenges and events, earning along the way, coupons to shop in our store, but also get pieces to our newest DSD collab, Capture My World for FREE.  Some challenges will be posted in the forum starting Wednesday, November 4, with new challenges posted through the weekend. We even tack on extra time so you don't miss out on the fun.  If you want reminders, be sure to join our SNP Chatter group on Facebook where event reminders are available.

 

Because coupons and the free kit aren't enough, the designers have decided to try out a different kind of freebie hop this year.  Instead of just Facebook or just our blogs, we're posting freebies all over the place.  We want to connect with you and keep you In the Know, whether it's on social media, blogs, but especially through our designer newsletters. Be sure to head over to our forum (get registered if you're new), and sign up for the newsletters listed, "like" the Facebook pages, and bookmark the blogs in your browser's favorites.  You won't want to miss all the awesome-ness the designers will have for you starting on Thursday!  

 

So be sure to join in on the fun and post your layouts in the gallery so we can all leave love (be sure to copy them to our DSD gallery as well).  Enjoy!

If you're new to digi-scrapbooking or new to SNP, check out the FAQ or Need Help threads, and we'll get someone to help you as soon as possible.


See you at SNP!

Scrappin' Weekend LAYOUT SHARES (and how to set up your own mini scrap weekend)!

Hey Scrappy Friends!
So twice a year, three of my local friends and I head off to a weekend of scrapbooking.  We reserve the "meeting room / conference suite" at a Drury Inn Hotel - which is the perfect place to scrap with a small group of four people because...

1. The meeting room has a bedroom with 2 queen beds, a bathroom, kitchen area with microwave, sink, and mini fridge AND a separate conference room with a huge boardroom table and flat-screen TV.
2. I bring my DVD player and everyone brings movies.  We plug the DVD player into the TV (using the ironing board as the table to get it close enough to the wall-hung TV to connect the cords).
3. The conference table is HUGE so each of us get 1/4 of the area.  While I just need my laptop and external hard drives, my friends are still paper scrappers.  They still have plenty of space for their photos, paper, stickers, and cutters.  Two of them use "scrappin' wagons" found at Sam's Club this year to organize their stuff - like this one (that gave us the idea in the first place!)
   
4. Drury Inn offers free breakfast (eggs, waffles, bagels, sausage/bacon, etc.).  They also give everyone three FREE adult beverages in the evening and have a soda machine and popcorn machine open in the evening (also free!).  Usually, these hotels are located near restaurants so you can also zip out for quick lunches.  They also offer late check-out time (noon) so you still have a last few hours to scrap on your last day!

This past weekend, my friends and I stayed from Friday-Monday.  In that time, I completed 81 layouts!  Here are some layouts from the last year that use my kits - images are linked to the MyMemories store, but most are available at MagsGraphics.com or Scraps-N-Pieces as well.

  

  

  

  

    

Now it's time to show off YOUR Layouts!  Come join my Gallery Showcase Group on Facebook or post to the SNP Gallery!
