Welcome to the Birthday Bash! Print

Hi There!

Our long-awaited Birthday Bash is here! We're pushing this party to an ENTIRE WEEK LONG so we can get all the celebrating in that we can. It's a proud time for us, being two. It's incredible to look back and see how far we have come, in two years. We have become a real force - the premier destination for digital crafting education.  But more than that, we have become a community - a gathering of like-minded friends, helping and supporting each other. That's the magic of this place, and it's a thing that can't have been done without YOU.

So this week, we'll look back, and celebrate OUR achievements. I challenge you to look back at your own progress - maybe open the very first digital scrapbook page you ever made, or look back at some of your photos from a few years ago before you knew what you were doing. And then celebrate that you've come on this journey, and we'll all celebrate with you.

And this week, we'll also look ahead! There is so much we've got planned, to help you as you learn your craft, tell your stories, and celebrate the events in your life, big and small. 

Here's a summary of what's happening this week, and then I'll get down to today's specifics.
