Who knew there was so much to think about when redesigning a site?  After lots of decisions and tweaks, the site has a brand new look!  OK, there are still a lot of tweaks left to do, but the majority of the site is up and running again.  If you should have any problems, errors or suggestions for the new look, please let me know!

One of the most important choices to make for the new look was the color scheme.  I also find this is one of the hardest to settle on when designing a scrapbooking page.  At least with a layout I have the photos as a reference point.  For this site, I had a only blank white page.  I did find some fantastic resources for finding color schemes during the redesign process.  My favorite is Adobe Kuler.  Definitely check this site out.  I think you will find it very helpful for your scrapbooking layouts.  If you are a digital scrapbooker, did you know you can take a screen shot of the Kuler color theme you like and open it in Photoshop?  Then you can use it to sample color for your digital scrapbooking layout.

I hope you like Into Scrapbooking’s new look.  I’ve got lots of plans for the site for 2010!

Are you looking for a quick and easy way to finish your Christmas card making? Just like with scrapbooking templates, card marking sketches take the difficulty out of designing your holiday cards. You just provide the coordinating products and start assembling.

Jen Gormly gave me a review copy of her ebook 50 Card Making Sketches. You can read my full review of the ebook and the 3 bonus books here:

This is a perfect time to try using card sketches while you are busy with your Christmas card making. Making cards is an economical way to use your scrapbooking scraps as well. Don’t forget how much money you will save on buying greeting cards.

Jen is offering 50 Card Making Sketches at a reduced price for a limited time only. She hasn’t given a specific date for when the pricing will increase. Thank you to Jen for the opportunity to review 50 Card Making Sketches.
