calendar - september 2015 — September 2015

It’s never too late to think about Christmas! Yes, you heard right. Summer is still in full swing. Vacations were great and now you’re working on saving your images to a photo album. The first day of autumn is September 23, 2015. Autumn is a beautiful time of year for family pictures. Check your calendar and if you haven’t done so already, book a photography session. Christmas cards featuring you and your family are cherished memories friends and family enjoy receiving!

Shoutout- Now that it’s September there are only 16 Friday’s until Christmas! The 16th being Christmas day.

There are several online printing labs that offer great ideas for the Christmas season. Here are just a few:

Wolfe’s Camera Shop

Have fun thinking Christmas in September!

Best Wishes,

Play Date Card

August 18, 2015 by Debra 3 Comments

Hi, sitting down to write this week’s blog entry I stumbled, hitting a blank wall. I did a lot of internet browsing- ALOT! After playing, an idea came to mind. It’s been a bit since I have posted a FotoFusion template and this gave me inspiration. After grandbaby #2 is born- end of November, I would really like to have new business cards made. Right now I am in the gathering ideas stage for the new card. Until then I was playing around with different uses for the business card. My daughter gave me the inspiration for this personal card.

Play Date Card

Click this link for the .ScrapPackage FotoFusion V5 template.

This play date card was designed using Mpix sizing guide. You can easily adjust the canvas settings if you would like to use a different printing lab. Most photo labs will have recommended guides posted on their site.

In this digital era, I would also include a QR Code. One can be easily be created and added to the front of the play date template above. There are several different pieces of information the QR Code can deliver- Vcard, URL, text, email, SMS and more.

If you are interested in a Photoshop version template, one can be emailed upon request. You may contact me by scanning the code below using a code reader app on your smartphone. Please note the Photoshop .psd file will be generated from the FotoFusion software. I personally have used these files in Photoshop CS3 and CC.

Template Disclaimer: The download is the template only. The digital paper and font is not included. Simply add your own to the template image place holders.

There are many different resources for digital scrapbook papers. Here is just one link that popped up on my quick Google digital scrapbook paper.

If you would like a printable digital file like the one shown above, contact me and provide the required information. A flattened .jpeg file will be emailed to you ready to print at Mpix.com. Once your request is received, I will advise an expected time frame for your file.

Let me know if you decided to download and use the template. I would enjoy hearing from you!

Best Wishes,

Bloglovin

Hi, it’s just been these last several months that I have devoted more time and energy with gmasDiary.com journal. During this time I have met new friends that I am excited to say I enjoy our online interactions. One of my questions was, how do I engage a larger viewing audience? One of the suggestions I received was adding a link to Bloglovin to gmasdiary.com.

Okay- many of you already know what Bloglovin is. But not me. I had to do a Google search to find out what it was and how to use it! If you happen to be new to the blogging online world and would like to know the how to’s check out this link.

A shout out to Grandma KC for the direction you have provided me as a new blogger. Thank you!

What steps have you taken to increase your blogging viewers?

Best Wishes,
