Digital Scrapbooking Day 2016 :: The Happenings

By

Happy Happy {inter} National Digital Scrapbooking Day weekend!!

Celebrating in October for the first time, which is new (and FABULOUS).  And still…

It’s the usual refrain and I still love it as much and as deeply as I did when I first began scrapbooking many many moons ago.  No matter what Stories we are living and writing, the Art of Remembering them is so dear to my heart.

I so love this time of year when those of us who love to make memories and keep them, play with paper or pen, document our stories and explore our creativity get to have so much fun celebrating our love for scrapbooking and storytelling.

And DSD is a little extra special to me because it celebrates all my memory keeping loves in the digital medium, which is where the seeds for my own storytelling really germinated.

And so I enthusiastically exclaim many “Happy Happy”s as we Storytellers, we Memory Keepers, we Family Historians, we Documentarians and Curators, we Artists and Journalers celebrate our love for scrapbooking and storytelling.

And here is the annual Everything You Need to Know about what is happening for Sara Gleason products this weekend.  (All images are linked).

I wish I may, I wish I might…

  • be present – really present – in the Right Now
  • cultivate minds that dream and hearts that wish in my girls
  • dare to turn those dreams and wishes into plans and actions

Yes…that’s right!  (and Yay and Hooray!) The Hullaballoo has commenced. The Lilypad Designers have created a fresh series of free downloads to kick of this year’s Digital Scrapbook Day festivities!  And so you may have found your way here from Val’s blog as you hop along collecting these fun and fabulous bits.

As for me, wishing and dreaming and hoping is one of my most favorite facets of our stories..  I was inspired by the beautiful tones and the heart for wishing and hoping that pours out of this beautiful collaboration.  Here’s a free selection of digital elements, inspired by *Wishes, Hopes & Dreams*.  So hope you enjoy!
