Scrapbookingal Blog Bits for March 6, 2009
Here we go…this week we have bargain shopping, free downloads, and giveaways.
1. In these trying economic times it is tough sometimes to justify buying Scrapbook Supplies. For a no quilt, unbelievable bargain, head over to PeachyCheap.comThey offer one deal per day, once they are gone, they are gone. Every day they post something new at an unbelievable low price. We are talking up to 99% off sometimes! Can’t beat that kind of deal. Be sure and check this out.
2. Of course we are all thinking Easter this time of year, well Creating Keepsakes Magazine has a free Egg Holder Download. These are really cute and I’m going to use mine on cards or scrapbook pages instead. They are so cute, colorful, and one that says EASTER would be perfect as a title on a page. This is a free pdf download so all you have to do is print with your color printer and cut them out. Now that is an awesome deal!
3. A beautiful scrapbook layout over at Hero Arts Online. It has all the items and instructions needed to complete a beautiful ‘Baby Love’ page. Also, great tips for using little stamps in a big way!

Alpha-Inchies!! Aren’t they cute! I had so much fun making these. I did a couple everyday and before I knew it, (about a week) I had the entire alphabet done. All I used was scraps from cards I have been making. They look so Springy!
My First Inchie
Another Papercraft some of you might want to try are ‘Inchies’. You can use them as embellishments on your Scrapbook Pages, Art Tags, Bookmarks or anything else you might be working on. Too Fun!!
Isn’t this the cutest Winter Inchie you ever saw? No wait, is it the ONLY inchie you ever saw? They are so fun to make and I hope to make more in my FREE time!! 
Shari Carroll shared her inchies concept—talk about irresistible! Like her, you can create one-inch mini masterpieces with leftover paper, paint, embellishments and more. In the column we promised a sneak peek at her inchies alphabet.
Check out the Inchies Alphabet at Creating Keepsakes Magazine.
Winter Inchie
Inchies are the newest craze in Paper Crafting. The idea is to create an entire design or ‘scene’ on a one inch tag! Now you get it! 
Try it sometime soon. It’s fun but definitely challenging.
Check out these Inchies at Creating Keepsakes Magazine’s web site.
Let me know what you think! Please comment below, after all this is a social blog.
