Over the past few years, I’ve loved working with Jennifer Wilson of Simple Scrapper on the Everyday Storyteller series of idea and inspiration books. My primary task as copy editor on both books has been to edit each article and work closely with contributors, Jennifer and our graphic designer, Lynnette, to put out the best product possible. I LOVE the process of putting together a book and collaborating with such amazing and talented people! Check out this sneak peek of the new book:

Here on my blog, I share printables and projects I create for primarily the LDS (Mormon) community. I also have occasional posts about Photoshop, digital scrapbooking and fonts. If you’re interested in these areas, take some time to poke around. If you like what you see, don’t forget to follow my blog on Facebook or via email (sign up in the right-hand column). If you do, I’ll send you a FREE GIFT in addition to the freebie I’m offering today! You can find the free gift on my Facebook page under the Welcome tab. Email followers will receive download links to the gift in their in-boxes. NOTE: This free gift is in addition to the download below.

Now, for my ES2 Blog Hop Freebie download!

Here is a special freebie I’ve created just for this blog train. It is a set of four 3×4-inch journaling cards–perfect for paper and digital scrapbooking and Project Life. Or, you could use them as gift tags or on hybrid projects. In the download I’ve included:

• Four high-resolution jpegs of each journal card. Use these on digital scrapbook pages.
• One pdf file. Load your printer with cardstock or photo paper and print page 2 of the pdf using the highest-quality setting. Then, cut out the cards and slip into a Project Life page protector or use on a paper scrapbook page or as a gift tag.
• Four print-quality jpeg files sized for printing at Persnickety Prints. Yes, you can have these journaling cards professionally printed using Persnickety Prints amazing photo papers or cardstock–and they cost just 19 cents each.Kami Leonard (one of our amazing ES2 contributors) gave me a few samples of journaling cards printed by Persnickety Prints. One look at them and I was in LOVE and had to share! So you can get your own, I used Wendyzine Scraps Journal Card Action on my freebie journaling cards to make it quick and easy for you to have them printed by Persnickety Prints. Wendy’s action added bleed and sized the cards so they are ready to go, just upload and order!
