Who’s Ready for iDSD?

Posted on November 3, 2015 by Jennifer

Every fall, the first weekend of November, the digi-scrap world celebrates our version of Super Bowl weekend or Mardi Gras. It’s , 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! Scrapbooking at its core 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 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 (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.

Comic Book

Posted on August 31, 2015 by Jennifer

This month’s Scraps N Pieces Collab is called Comic Book. It is a fun super hero themed kit. There are two templates and one of them looks much like a comic book page. You can buy the kit with or without the QPs.

I have two layouts to share today using Comic Book. The first is a themed layout with Janette modeling one of my sewing creations. Journaling reads: Super hero capes have become my go-to gift for boys. I’ve made them enough that I’ve perfected my pattern and technique. They are quick to sew and they’re personalized with the initial of the recepient. I’ve been told that the recepients love them, which makes me happy. Today, I decided to have Janette model the one for Wyatt, so I could take pictures that showcased the cape a little better than my previous method of photographing them while hanging on a hanger.

The second is a non-themed layout when I took the girls to a local bounce house. Journaling reads: Jessica had been asking to go to a bounce house, so we went to iPlay to celebrate the last week of summer. I had asked if some of the girls’ friends could join us, but only Leah’s mom Michelle replied with a yes. However, we saw so many people we knew. When we first arrived around 11:15 AM Jessica’s Grasshopper classmates, Issac, Ben and Jonas were there, plus my MOPS friends Claudia and Jill with their kids and of course Michelle with Leah and Hayden. Later, Jessica’s Grasshoppers classmates Len and Tye plus Len’s little sister Lily, who was Janette’s Ladybug classmate. Since I had packed a lunch for us, we ended up staying until almost 6. The girls had an absolute blast and they definitely slept well that night.

Did you know that a few days before the start of the new month, you can buy the next month’s collab at a special 50% discount? That’s right. September’s Collab is already available. The catch is you only get to see the color palette. Then on September 1st, it goes to full price, but you can see the whole kit before purchase.
