Visiting friends and relatives is always fun especially exchanging stories and events I have experienced. My selves were packed with photo albums of my well documented journeys. Then my husband showed me how to store all the images in a single iPOD. This made me thinking. In one small device I actually bring along my whole 'life'. Gone were the days when I worry how I could preserved my photos. Digital scrapbooking has literally given me a better way of preserving my memories. Read how digital scrapbooking is green by Joy Kuoha in the main page.

LuAnn will also show you how you could combine digital scrapbooking with traditional craft in the Hybrid Project page. It's fast, cost efficient and really an eye catching piece! The sluggish economy has made everyone careful how they spend their money. The same goes for us. Visit Budget Layout page and see how the kit at $3.50 could make such gorgeous layouts. TDS Layouts Artist team have used 100% of the kit and if you are making an album, this is the kit to buy. For some more great bargains, visit the Product Review and Classified section and immerse yourself in smart shopping. The pages are filled with some great products at affordable prices.

When you are done shopping, head to Inspirations and Ideas to learn about using colors. Christy Haig has done a great job explaining how color could be used to attract the eye to the layout. You could use this tutorial in some of the challenges featured in Classified Challenges.

Kirstie made me hungry with all the food and fun she described in Scrapper World. So grab a drink and snack and start browsing through this issue, page by page. :)

Have fun!
