Out and About in the Digiworld - It's Beginning to Look A Lot Like Christmas

The holiday spirit abounds as sites are offering sales and goodies leading up to Christmas. I covered several in last week's column. Here are a few others.

Digital Artist Magazine offered a week of freebies. I believe they are all still available for download here. I also see there is a new Editor-in-Chief at DAM. Best wishes to you Terri.

Shabby Pickle has various deals throughout the month. You can see them all on the shoppe calendar.

Scrap Orchard is running a 12 days of Christmas promotion with lots of sales and goodies. You can follow the happenings on their blog.

The Little Dreamer Designs 12 Days of Christmas Sale starts tomorrow. You can see the calendar of events here.

On a less festive, but still sale-related note, Amy Teets is retiring from Oscraps and is running a buy-the-store promotion through the end of December. Amy has a wide variety of products including some gorgeous quick page albums.



Cinnamon Designs is having a storewide 50% off sale this weekend. Check out this adorable little set.



Geeky Diva Designs has some great hybrid templates at ScrapMatters. The set includes 4 different polyhedron templates that can be used for creating gift boxes and ornaments. The additional preview images in the store show you several sample finished products. Note to Geeky Diva - your product is unpriced, but thanks :)



The DigiDares blog is back up at a new address with their weekly challenges and great prizes.

Registration is now open for the Amazing Digiscrapping Race hosted by Natural Designs in Scrapbooking. This is a 6 week 'race' modeled loosely after the TV show Amazing Race. Entrance is free. Teams of scrappers pair up to complete various challenges and earn prizes along the way. Unlike the TV amazing race you don't have to 'beat' other scrappers. Simply complete each challenge to earn a prize. You can read more and get help finding a partner in the NDISB forums here.

No Reimer Reason is hosting a multiphoto layout challenge at Go Digital Scrapbooking. She is offering a free template to help you get it done.

Hummie's World has a great recoloring tutorial by Danielle of Something Blue Studios.

The composition on Christmas Wishes by neeceebee is a great approach for Christmas photos. I can envision this concept used for a multiphoto page where the photos are 'hung' as ornaments.



It's a rare find in today's galleries, but today I came across a page in which the photo is the predominant image. Scapa's RAK for Amy is beautiful! Can we scrap like this more often? I'm writing it down as one of my new years resolutions. :)

Thank you so much for listing the multi-photo challenge. You have totally MADE MY DAY. I love your "Out and About" features very much, and to see the challenge listed here thrilled me beyond belief. I think I woke my husband up with my shouts of excitement. :)

THatks for the great tuts you have here among the other many good things! Thanks also for bringing up the wish to seemore LO's with more of a photo. I am a photogrpaher who initially got into to scrapbooking as way to showccase photos for clients.. But I always felt like my photos tended to overtake the pake compared to what I view in the various galleries! Thanks for helping to validate "my style" LOL
