Happy Friday to all!!!! Its Friday which means the end of the work week for most and of course fresh fruit Friday at The Scrap Orchard Market. Amanda has been at it again this week and has totally amazed me with her amazing new digital scrapbooking kit Penelope. I just think this kit is so flippin adorable and can be used for any type of pictures you are wanting to scrap.

Hi everyone! It is Lori back to say hello on a chilly winter night.  I don’t know about you all but I am glad that January is almost over.  It is usually such a long cold month that winter seems to last forever. I can’t really complain this year though it has been quite unseasonally warm. That however means that I have been on the go a lot more than usual this time of year and that also means not as much creative time. I find that when I finally do have time to sit and scrap sometimes the body is there but the brain is not. When that happens I need a little help. My most favorite kind of help is a really good template and guess who has amazing templates – Amanda!

Some of my all time favorites are these:

Layout Builders - I heart paper

Layout Builders - I heart circles

and the most recent and fabulous for all those end of the year pages

Year in Review 2009

So when your mojo seems to have left you in the lurch stop by Scrap Orchard Market and pick up a template set and you might even find a kit or two that you want to work with too!

Have a great week and enjoy the remainder of January!

Be sure to stop by on Friday to see the full kit and get the details on a little freebie!!! Have a great night and rest of the week!

Hi everyone!  It’s Jaedyn here with my first post 0f 2010!  2010!!  I can hardly believe it!

With the new year, I am seeing a lot of multi-photo layouts hitting the galleries for Project 365 and for Year In Review type pages.  I haven’t attempted any myself because they scare me, lol.  Project 365 seems like a daunting task (kudos to all who do it – you are amazing!) to me, and I haven’t worked up the courage to start it, lol.  The Year in Review is something that I think I could do, once I find some interesting photos, of course.

Problem is that, for me, multiple photo layouts intimidate me.  I’m more of a 1, maybe 2 photo scrapper most of the time.  The thought of trying to put 7 to 12 photos on a layout instills fear into the very digi-heart of me!  So I went searching in the gallery and I found a few that I love and thought maybe you would too!

First up are these by CT member Lesley:

And then I saw this fun one by Caro – how awesome to document a child’s year instead of the typical Year In Review layouts!

I love this one by CT member Bernadette because it documents an important part of a lot of people’s year:

That last layout by Bernadette looks really intimidating with its many pictures in the shape of numbers, but aren’t we lucky that Amanda has it in template form for us?!?  I know I’m glad, lol!  You can find it here, along with other templates to make scrapping multiple photos that much easier!!

We’re going to be starting a new game this year! The Orchard Girls will be playing Twitter & Facebook Tag. You never know when it’s going to start and what you’re going to get, but you’ll definitely want to be signed up so you don’t miss out on the fun!
So how does this work? You sign up for all our Twitter and/or Facebook Accounts (you don’t have to sign up for both). We’ll start handing out coupons and freebies from other Orchard Girls– we won’t be handing them out for ourselves! So you have to sign up for all the accounts, because there’s not telling which designer will be handing out coupons or free”bees” from your favorite designer!!
Then sit back and wait for the game to start! We will definitely be starting a new game on January 15 and you will definitely NOT want to miss out on the gorgeous free kit we’ll be giving away!!!
