SWAP Have you signed up to join the Scrapbook-Bytes.com Swap yet? We are having a lot of fun. Please, come join us! What is the SBB Swap? Every other week one member is chosen at random to have his or her photos swapped. I will send an email out to all those who have signed up with a link to download the photos and information. If you aren’t able to participate in that swap, that is fine! This is just for fun! It’s a great way to have photos other than your own to play with or to have those tough photos that you don’t know what to do with scrapped by someone else. Our first swappee was Kristen (kskold). She got some really neat ideas for her Renaissance Faire photos. To see the gallery for her swap click here. Our current swap is for Kari. If you are interested in participating click here for more information or email me your name, SBB ID and your email address at swap@scrapbook-bytes.com. Byte-Ideas Note: the December Sketch can be found here... submit entries to "byte.ideas@scrapbook-bytes.com"
NEW SITE CHALLENGE!!!! THIRD BYTES A CHARM! Would you like to be charmed? Then send us your photos and if they’re chosen, three of our design team members will scrap them for you! See the official rules below. Have you wondered what someone else would do with your photos? Ever had the perfect photo, but no idea to go along with it? Are you curious about how many options there are for scrapping your favorite memory? How about having gifts for your three aunts in the photos? Whatever your reason, we hope you’ll enjoy Third Byte’s a Charm. This month’s charmed scrapper is Kara Crisp! Kara’s photos are of her great-grandmother and her grandfather when he was only three years old. In her words, “To see my Grandfather as a playful and spirited little boy in the arms of my severe (the only way I had known her until these photos) Great-Grandmother brought out so many levels of emotion that it is hard to describe. My Grandfather passed away a few years ago and so, these photos are doubly precious to me. I'd love to see your ideas on how to honor and preserve them.” Scrapbook-Bytes Design Team Members April, Tina, and Amy scrapped Kari’s photos with their own individual styles.
Thanks to Kari for sharing these wonderful photos! She’ll be receiving the high-resolution print quality files as well. We’d love to hear your feedback on this section at photos@scrapbook-bytes.com. And if you’d like to submit your photos, we’d love to see them. Just read the rules below and good luck! Official Rules: COMING! You Know You’ve Been Byten’
When Your family and friends send you their photos in hopes that you will do a layout for them! And of COURSE you do! You have business cards printed with Scrapbook-Bytes.com on them just to show HOW COOL it really is! When I realize that I could do a layout from start to finish and still go back 3 days later and make changes without using UnDO! (AMY EDWARDS) When One Hour Photo seems like an eternity and so far in the past because you use digital and no longer use film. When Adobe no longer refers to a type of dog. ? When you realize that sleep is something that you do between layouts! When you kids volunteer you to their teachers during the school day to come in and take photos ‘just for fun’. When you hear the word brush you no longer think of doing your hair. Thanks to all of you that submitted, please send future submissions to Kristie@scrapbook-bytes.com for consideration in future issues. Be sure to include "You Knew You'd Been Byten When" in the subject line.. Thanks! Featured Software - Review and Samples I have three CDs worth of heritage photos I have been planning
to scrap for months. The first thing you’ll notice about the CD is how easy it is to use. Simply double click on the icon for your CD drive and the content is divided into four folders: Elements, Family Tree Kit, Large Backgrounds (12x12) and Regular Backgrounds (8½x11). The content is stored on the CD as if it were on your own PC: there is nothing to install, customize or worry about. That makes this kit perfect for the experienced digital scrapper or the first-timer. Note: A more detailed review is available in the November 2003 issue of Tid-Bytes as well as exclusive never-before seen layouts created by the Design Team! SPECIAL PRICE FOR SCRAPBOOK-BYTES NEWSLETTER SUBSCRIBERS!!!! PASSWORD: sbbmarcee You can view more layouts created with the Rustic-Hertiage Computer-Scraps CD here in the Gallery!

They’ve
been sitting next to my hard drive collecting dust because I haven’t
had time to create elements and backgrounds for them. I love bright
colors when scrapping on the PC and none of the items I already
have look good with my old pictures, even if I de-saturate the colors
to make them look “older”. That is why I am thrilled
to share the news: Marcee Duggar has saved the day with her new
digital scrapping CD, Rustic Heritage.
