Food Corner: Italian Food

We haven’t had the food corner in a while, and since my time in Hong Kong wasn’t all too long ago, I thought, I’d share some of the culinary  goodnesses we got to enjoy there! This was a dish that we had the day we went to the escalators and stopped by a Pizza restaurant. Italian Food in Asia, that’s what it is!

Inspire Me: Aly

It’s Inspire-Me-Wednesday, and who of us doesn’t appreciate the occasional inspiration they can get from one of our fellow digi-scrappers? Today I’ve picked the amazing and wonderful Alyson Hall (who also is a sugarbabe at SSD). Time and again, I’ve had to pause a moment to admire yet another one of her gorgeous pages, and if you check out her galleries, you’ll know exactly what I mean. It seems like every single one of her pages has something that makes it stand out, and it would be impossible for me to tell, which of her layouts would be my favorite one. If you haven’t checked out Aly’s gallery yet, make sure to do so, because she might be just the right kind of inspiration you need for one of your future pages … Click HERE to get to Aly’s gallery at DST.

Hot Chocolate Days

Today is one of those “Hot Chocolate Days,” one of those days when it’s better to stay inside and snuggle up in a soft blanket and enjoy a cup of hot chocolate. I did enjoy my cup of hot chocolate this afternoon, but only after I wrapped up my camera into a plastic bag and took a stroll out in the rain. Got lots of pictures taken, though the rain just about stopped when I stepped outside. Will have to hope for a little more rain these days, to get some actual rain pics. At least the rain has finally started after a really dry winter and an also much too try spring!  

Behind the Scenes: Some “Scripty” Fonts

I admit it flat-out. I’ve been a font-lover for it seems like forever. I’ve loved fonts and accumulated them on my computer long before I ever even heard of digital scrapbooking or knew anything like that existed. Now that I’ve been on Darcy Baldwin’s CT (she’s a fontographer at Sweetshopppe – for those who don’t know her) the number of font files on my computer seem to explode (and yep, I’ve heard the rumors that this slows down your computer, so eventually I’ll have to start downsizing my font database). Anyways, the point I’m trying to make: I love me some fonts. So, I thought today, for an easy start, I’d share another couple of my favorite fonts with you. This time I’ve gathered some of my more script-style fonts, and here they are: These are the ones I go to first, before even looking at some of the other fonts on my computer (when I’m looking for something scripty). In any case, they are available for free at the usual font downloading places (dafont, …

Monday Highlight

I’m back! That is, I’ve been back for a while, but I finally made it back to posting again, and as always in the beginning of a month, there is a lot to share. SSD has a new portfolio out with a new set of great challenges for this month, so you might want to check that out, if you haven’t yet. You can do that here. A new month at The Daily Digi has started as well with a bag full of products that I’m sure are worth this deal! And since it’s Monday, I’d better start off showing you another great product that I’ve fallen in love with, and that is Jenn Barrette’s “Feet in the Sand.” It’s summer, after all, and many of us are still on vacation, which means traveling, fun at the beach, enjoying life. Feet in the Sand by Jenn Barrette “Feet in the Sand” is perfect for scrapping all those beach memories, and it comes with a full load of beautifully designed papers and elements. What I especially …

I’m Back & A Little Something About Hong Kong

Aahh! It’s been forever since I last posted. Can you tell I’ve been terribly busy this summer? But now I’m back – finally! And I thought: How about I share some pics with you that I took back in Hong Kong?  Actually, I was so busy that I didn’t even get to see much at all, but here are a couple of things I’d like to share with you: Visit to Stanley It was the first little trip we took, and I think it’s still one of my favorite days in Hong Kong. We had perfect weather, and it was just right to find myself a beach and enjoy life …   Ma On Shan My second favorite day in Hong Kong was when I took the subway out to Ma On Shan. All I had hoped for was to get somewhere near the water, but as I’m sure you all know – if you’ve never been there before, you’ll never know whether the place you picked is actually worth a trip. Mine that afternoon …
