New Release | Sweet Single No. 5: Twenty Questions

POSTED ON September 21, 2013 IN Shop News & Releases

Woohoo, happy Sweet Shoppe Saturday everyone! Ready for another round of awesome goodies?

This week heralds the return of my Sweet Singles line with the release of my new Sweet Single No. 5: 20 Questions template. If you’re new to Nettio Designs, these bite-sized templates are a great way to get your feet wet in the Nettio Designs template pool. And if you’re a fan of Q&As or interview layouts like I am, I know you’re going to love this week’s release.

Sweet Single No. 5: 20 Questions

Sweet Single No. 5: 20 Questions features one 12×12 digital scrapbooking interview-themed template. It includes room for two small photos, all your favorite pattern papers and lots of lots of journaling. To get you started on your Q&A, I’ve included 20 random questions or you can write your own.

nettiodesigns_SweetSingleNo5-20Questions-preview-1400

Here’s a look at my layout that inspired this template. I’m always looking for easy ways to get my husband Adam involved in my scrapbooking and a Q&A interview like this is a great way to do just that. He was a little reluctant at first but by the end he was asking me to ask him MORE questions, haha. So don’t be afraid to ask your loved ones to help, you never know how it might go!

nettiodesigns_SweetSingleNo5-20Questions-1400

Of course, you can also adapt the questions in this template for your own Q&As with your child like Aly did…

Yourself like Sherly did…

Or even his and hers interviews like Jen did with her husband. This is an awesome way to capture both of your stories in your album. Plus how fun is it to see your answers to the same questions. I so want to make a version for myself after seeing these two side-by-side.

New Release | Life Captured Photo Book and Bits & Bytes Templates

POSTED ON September 7, 2013 IN A Week In the Life, Shop News & Releases

Woohoo, happy Sweet Shoppe Saturday everyone! I am super excited to share today’s new releases with you because they are designed around one of my absolute favorite scrapbooking projects I’ve ever done: Week In the Life.

In case you haven’t heard, Ali Edwards is running a new round of Week In the Life starting on Monday, September 9th. I played along with her Week In the Life back in 2011 and I loved the end result so much I’ll be playing along again this year (and of course sharing my progress here on the Nettio Designs blog).

You might think the hardest part of Week In the Life is the capture week, but in reality, snapping photos and jotting down a few notes is the easy part. The challenge comes in actually getting your photos and story from the computer into a completed album. Odds are if you’ve started Week In the Life before but didn’t finish, THIS is the point where you got stuck.

One of the lessons I learned while doing Week In the Life in 2011 is that having a design plan in place from the get go makes Week In the Life SO much easier to finish. Not only does it simplify the capture process because you know exactly how many photos/stories you need to capture (snapping 15 photos in a day sounds a lot easier than 75, no?) but it also takes out the guesswork once you’re ready to create your album.

So I wanted to design products this week that would make the entire process ridiculously easy for you. Because seriously, having a completed album showcasing a week in your life right now is something you’ll treasure more than you know.

It’s amazing to me when I look back at my album just how many big things have changed (new house, new city) but also how many little things have changed without me even thinking about them, like the food we eat or the phones we use. Capturing these little moments are exactly what Week In the Life is all about and I would hate for you to miss out on the magic of that just because the process seemed overwhelming.

Which brings me to this week’s new releases…

Life Captured: 8×10 Blurb-Ready Photo Book Templates

My first release this week are the Life Captured: 8×10 Photo Book Templates. These Blurb-ready templates have been custom designed to work with Blurb.com’s 8×10 Standard Hardcover Image-wrapped Photo Book. No need to worry about bleed or trim when you’re ready to print, I’ve done all that work for you!Just add your photos and stories to the templates, crop the two-page templates into single JPGs and upload to Blurb using their online Bookify or downloadable Booksmart tools. It really couldn’t be an easier.

For each day of the week, I’ve included three two-page templates for a total of six pages in the album. You can use all three or if you have a day with a few less photos, you can leave out the second template and use only four pages. It’s totally up to you and what works for your life.

Here’s a look at the Monday template in action using photos from my 2011 Week In the Life…

In addition to the 21 day templates, I’ve also included 4 highlights templates designed to give you an overview of your week as well as capture a week in your life of fashion, technology and home decor. These highlights pages are some of my favorite to look back on from my 2011 photo book so it was a no-brainer to include them this time as well. What can be more fun than looking at your fashion choices from two years ago and realizing you still wear ALL of the same things which uh, totally did not happen to me, no not at all.

Life Captured Photo Book FAQ

Here’s a few answers to the questions I’ve been asked most commonly about these templates:1) Will you be releasing a square version of these photo book templates as well?This year, unfortunately, no. I know square pages are the norm for scrapbooking layouts but that’s exactly why I love the 8×10 Portrait size so much. It’s not only makes this album feel that much more special but it really feels like you have your very own real book of your life.

2) Why Blurb?

I used Blurb.com for printing my 2011 Week In the Life Photo Book and I was so impressed by the quality and ease of the process that it was a no-brainer to me to double-down on Blurb this time around. For the size, quality and price, they’re hard to beat.

3) What will the finished size of my photo book be?

The Life Captured: Photo Book Templates have been custom-designed based off Blurb’s exact dimensions for their 8×10 Standard Portrait Image-wrapped Hardcover Book. The finished size of the cover pages are 8.433 x 10.267 inches and the inside pages are 7.877 x 10 inches. If you use all 29 included templates, your finished photo book will be 52 pages long.

Any other questions? Email me at nettiodesigns at gmail dot com and I’ll be more than happy to help you out.

Of course, if you’d like a square or pocket-scrapbooking friendly Week In the Life version, I’ve got you covered as well…

Life Captured: Bits & Bytes

My second release this weekend are the Life Captured: Bits & Bytes Templates. These mini templates include 3×4 and 4×6-inch cards perfect for capturing a week in your life pocket-scrapbooking style.

Here’s a peek of these templates in action. I chose to stick with a black and white color scheme so my photos would really pop but each element of the templates comes on it’s own layer for easy customization.

Here’s a closer look at each page. The great thing with these is you could easily do a spread or two and be done!

Life Captured: The Complete Set

Of course, if you’d like the best of both worlds, you can pick up Life Captured: The Complete Set which will give you all 50 templates included in the Life Captured Photo Book and Bits & Bytes sets for only a few dollars more than buying the Photo Book templates on their own…

New Release | FAVE-O-RITES 2013: August Faves

POSTED ON August 24, 2013 IN Shop News & Releases

Happy Sweet Shoppe Saturday everyone! This week’s release heralds month number eight of one of my absolute FAVE (pun-intended) scrapbooking projects: the Monthly Faves! We’re on the home stretch now, second half of the year baby!

For those new to Nettio Designs & the Faves, my Monthly Faves project is a year-long scrapbooking project where each month you scrapbook one layout documenting your top-ten favorite things from that month. Your faves can be anything: events, food, tv shows, technology, clothing – the sky’s the limit!

I’ve done my Monthly Faves project twice before, once in 2009 & again in 2011, and I love it so much I’m doing it again here in 2013. I can’t even tell you how much fun it is to look back on those layouts and see what’s changed and what’s stayed the same. It’s like a mini time-capsule of your favorite things from way-back-when.

Here’s how my 2013 Monthly Faves layouts are shaping up so far this year…

nettiodesigns_faves2013-aug

I’ve written before about why I believe everyone should scrap a Faves layout but here’s the cliff-notes version:

  • Because scrapbooking lists is fun
  • Because you don’t remember nearly as much as you swear you do
  • Because it captures an easy snapshot of your life at the moment
  • Because it’s the easiest All About Me layout you’ll ever do. Seriously.

And this year I wanted to make it even easier for you to creatively capture your faves. So on the last(ish) Saturday of every month, I’ll be releasing that month’s Faves layout as a new Sweet Single template. Which should give you plenty of time to capture your Faves for that month before the new month arrives.

Which brings me to this week’s release…

FAVE-O-RITES 2013: Aug Faves

This week’s release is the eight FAVE-O-RITES Sweet Single digital scrapbooking template of the year, FAVE-O-RITES 2013: Aug Faves. It features one of my absolute favorite things – a paper-lovin’ grid-based design – which makes it easy for you to dress up or down with your digi goodies however you’d like.

nettiodesigns_FAVE-O-RITES2013_08AugFaves-prev-1400

Here’s a bigger look at my 2013 Aug Faves layout that inspired this template. As you can see, my faves list is super random, which is exactly what I love! It’s not something you have to stress out over: make a list of 10 things, scrap it and boom, you’ve captured an easy snapshot of YOU in your scrapbooks. Just think how much fun it’ll be for you or your kids & grandkids to look back on one day!

New Release | Pattern Love Vol. 1 Templates

POSTED ON August 10, 2013 IN Shop News & Releases

Happy Sweet Shoppe Saturday everyone! Ready for some new goodies?

WAY back in May in honor of International Scrapbooking Day, I hosted a little Instagram Pattern Love challenge. To enter all you had to do was snap a photo of any kind of pattern and tag it with the hashtag #ndpatternlove on Instagram. I would choose a few of my favorite patterns and use them as inspiration for a new set of templates.

These were the two winners:

nettio-instalovewinners

I loved clean lines of Brie’s pattern (and the comment about the ugly wall cracked me up) and the circular pattern on the Target bag seemed like it’d be a fun challenge to turn into a template.

Since we moved right after iNSD, I never had a chance to design the templates and I decided it was high-time I did something about that. So with this week’s new release, I give you Pattern Love Vol. 1!

Pattern Love Vol. 1 Templates

The Pattern Love Vol. 1 Templates feature two 12×12 digital scrapbooking templates each with a bold pattern lovin’ design.

New Release | FAVE-O-RITES 2013: July Faves

POSTED ON July 27, 2013 IN Shop News & Releases

Happy Sweet Shoppe Saturday everyone! This week’s release heralds month number seven of one of my absolute FAVE (pun-intended) scrapbooking projects: the Monthly Faves! We’re on the home stretch now, second half of the year baby!

For those new to Nettio Designs & the Faves, my Monthly Faves project is a year-long scrapbooking project where each month you scrapbook one layout documenting your top-ten favorite things from that month.

nettio_faves2013-thruJun

I’ve written before about why I believe everyone should scrap a Faves layout but here’s the cliff-notes version:

Because scrapbooking lists is fun

nettiodesigns_FAVE-O-RITES2013_07JulFaves-preview-1400

Here’s a bigger look at my 2013 July Faves layout that inspired this template. One of the things I’ve realized this month is that even when I think a month wasn’t all that eventful when I’m living it, when I go back to pull out my Faves, I realize there’s a whole lot more that happened than I remember! So a Faves list is great, not just for others to learn about you but for you to remember details about your own life as well.

As you can see, my faves list is super random, which is exactly what I love! It’s not something you have to stress out over: make a list of 10 things, scrap it and boom, you’ve captured an easy snapshot of YOU in your scrapbooks. Just think how much fun it’ll be for you or your kids & grandkids to look back on one day!
