Pixel Pages: March 2015

Persnickety Prints* is my all time favorite photo printing company. The quality is amazing & they have outstanding customer service. So when they had a sale for 25% off select square prints, I knew it was time to get my rear in gear & get my layouts printed! I purchased print credits so that I could snag that deal & print when I was ready to.

To get the things I needed to put my album together, I first stopped at Hobby Lobby. The Paper Studio brand of scrapbook supplies was half off. So I picked up 3 20 packs of the undivided 12x12 page protectors which ended up costing me $15 and change. They didn't really have any albums that I liked so the next stop was AC Moore. Which is where I found the Becky Higgins* Kraft edition album (which is not available for purchase on her site anymore) for $19.99. When I went to check out, the woman ringing me out was such a sweetheart & gave me half off! I was thrilled to have gotten 60 page protectors & a name brand album that I loved for about $25 less than it would have been.

I have been wanting to have my own handwriting on my scrapbook pages. I tried to do it myself but I didn't like the roughness of the edges or having to input each letter like you would an alpha. That just would not work for journaling. I found a website called Your Fonts* and for the cost of $10, I was able to turn my handwriting into a font & is gorgeous! You print out their template (I would print out 2 or 3 to practice on), write your letters, numbers, etc, scan it, and upload onto their site. You have the chance to preview your font & try it out before purchasing and downloading. Once you have downloaded your new font, I would recommend that you then upload it onto a site like Dropbox* so you can access it again in case something like a hard drive crash happens.

All these new things to play with have really got me itching to finish scrapping older photos and get them printed and put in my new album as well as start a book for my son. What kind of things add new excitement to your scrapping?
