Hey all! It's May here, and I'm SOOO excited about the feedback I'm getting already on the book!!! I just wanted to give you a heads up on some P+P happenings-

I'll be hosting a chat Friday February 1st at www.apeekintoyesterday.com at 6pm PST where I'll be chatting and also giving away a copy of the book!

I'm also hosting a hybrid scrapbook challenge here: http://fiskateers.com/blog/2008/01/30/hybrid-contest/

finally (for now!) Aud and I will be talking about/demo-ing stuff from P+P at CHA in the Memory Makers booth on Sunday the 11th of February from 12-130pm.

Hope to see you around!

Paper+Pixels:Scrapbook Layouts, published by Memory Makers Magazine, is all about hybrid scrapbooking — it features over 40 techniques, including really simple techniques for programs like Microsoft Word, to more advanced techniques for Photoshop and Photoshop Elements. It also features over 100 pieces of original, never-before-seen art from May and I (Aud), as well as our contributors: Cathy Pascual, Angela Daniels, Wendy McKeehan, Jackie Eckles, Caroline Ikeji, Amy Martin, Katrina Simeck, Jenn Olson, Linda Barber, and Kathleen Summers. In addition to all this hybrid scrappy inspiration, you’ll get 10 exclusive scrapbooking kits on CD from these amazing designers: Michelle Coleman, Lauren Reid, Jan Crowley, Katie Pertiet, Lynn Grieveson, Jen Wilson, Poppy Andrews, Jackie Eckles, Kim Christensen, and Tracy Ann Robinson, plus templates from Janet Phillips and Jen Caputo.

A huge thank you to everyone who contributed to the book — you all did such beautiful work, and the project wouldn’t be what it is without all of you! And to May, my fabulous co-author, thank you a million times over for approaching me about this idea you had. It’s been one heck of a journey — and it’s just starting! You’re the best co-author E.V.E.R!

May and I will be at the Memory Makers booth at CHA, doing some book signings and some make-and-takes, plus we’ll have some hybrid layouts on hand so you can see for yourself what all the fuss is about. In addition, make sure you check out the Memory Makers Editors blog all week long for a chance to win a free copy of the book. Keep checking back here as well — we’ll be starting some giveaways soon, in addition to some fun techniques, resources, and contests!
