And a Happy Birthday to...

Scrapbook Inspirations Magazine!
It’s a big month for scrap-friendly birthdays, as the new edition of SI is Issue 50. I’ve been working with SI in some way or another since the day before the very first issue was finished. I only remember because I returned a call to the office and was greeted by the hilarious voice of a temp who had been called in for admin help. When I asked for Jenny (our very first editor), he replied ‘Dudedudedudedudedude….she is like SOOOO busy right now you like SOOOOO don’t wanna talk to her!’ Which to this date is possibly the most hilarious and definitely the most Ashton-Kutchereque conversation of all my time at the magazine. It turned out that all that dude-talk was shorthand for saying ‘we’re about to meet the very first deadline’.
Supplies: Travel Journal Tool Kit, Rhonna Swirls v4 , Urban Junque Journalers and Round N Round v4 all by Rhonna Farrer; Toy Camera Frames by Tia Bennett, Rough Paint Stencils by Erica Hernandez and Legibles 1 by Meredith Fenwick.
Even after fifty issues, I still get nervous about what things will look like in the finished edition. Issue 50 includes my first real digital article—it covers techniques for using a photograph as your page background in digital artwork. This page is from that, plus two more you’ll find in the magazine.
For a chance to appear in the letters section of Scrapbook Inspirations, be sure to email some birthday wishes to SI headquarters. The Readers’ Gallery is also looking for your best wedding and father-themed pages, so email those in too, to this address! Submission deadline is 6th March.
