Digital Scrapbooking Day
Welcome to Scraps of Mind. I'm delighted to see you. Why not check out the site, you'll find a bunch of great scrapbooking and blogging articles, tips and tutorials on the Articles Page.

Thanks for visiting and I look forward to seeing more of you.
Today, November 3, is the first ever Digital Scrapbooking Day.
And all across the Digital Scrapbooking World celebrations and events are going on. So I thought I might dedicate this post to highlighting some of the events that are happening so you can join in the fun in places that you might not have thought to go before. I guess this is a sort of Party Door Bitch role.
So let’s get started on the Digital Scrapbooking Day fun and games:
Firstly Scrapmatters is running a celebration from Nov 2nd-5th with freebies, special challenges with great prizes and everything in the store at least 25% off. Sounds like a happening party.
ScrapGirls have a range of chats and challenges going on from 11am - 10pm on Saturday. The message is bring your computer, your chocolate and your favorite fuzzy slippers and join in.
And Scrap Outside the Box is also hosting a bunch of chats and challenges as well as a big sale to commemorate the day.
Taking a slighty different approach, Digi Scrap Wiki is kicking of a series of challenges from Nov 3 which will run throughout the month of November. Prizes and challenges to be announced on the site on Digital Scrapbooking Day itself. But one challenge I can reveal is The Digital ATC Challenge which I’m running. So here’s a chance to try your hand at Digital (or Hybrid) ATCs. Click on over and try it out.
Cindy at DSD-Pro (a website specialising in scrapbookers who are trying to build a business from their hobby) is launching the DSD-Pro Business Association at 10:am, mountain time. There’ll be some special limited time offers up for grabs which will be of interest to any digital scrappbooker or designer who is interested in moving into the digital scrapbooking industry on a professional basis.
There’ll be 6 Posts with 6 Challenges running throughout Saturday at Cen’s Loft. They include puzzles, colour swatch challenge, layout challenge, a blog hunt and freebies.
Even Two Peas in a Bucket, who are mainly a traditional scrapbooking web site, are hosting DSD events.
So this lot should keep you busy for a while. Check them out and join in the ones that appeal to you and get amongst the fun. Let us all know which ones you found really great and maybe share some info about any other Digital Scrapbook Day events that you think your fellow Scraps of Minders might like to know about.

I heard about this being DSB’ing day from Scrapbook Bytes and thought they’d invented it as an in-house thing only, then noticed it was all over the place (they’re one of the few sites I get email from, which may be why I heard it there first).
So… my burning question is who invented it? It’s amazing to me how things like this can catch on so quickly, but one site or a few had to have banded together and promoted the idea (I’m guessing it’s today since it’s 6 months after regular National SB’ing Day, which I believe was a Creative Memories invention that caught on outside the CM world). I’d just love to be able to backtrace this one!

Oh yeah! The DSD events are buzzin’ all around the web today. I’ve already visited 6 sites this morning that have cool specials going on!
To help celebrate the occasion, I wanted to share with you that the Scrap of Mind website it currently being featured in the new DSD-Pro Business Associates Directory! Wahoo - what a great way to start off the day!
Hope it puts a smile on your face!

Heather I believe it was initially dreamed up by Angie Pedersen who got sponsorship from Triscape and other companies to launch the idea. And with a bit of Internet marketing behind it, it just took off.
Thanks for listing me as an inaugural site in your directory Cindy. And good lock with the launch of your DSD-Pro Business Association.

Oh!! I forgot all about the Digi Scrap Wiki - lost the link when my computer died. I’m so glad you mentioned it here, going to pay it a visit for sure.
I mentioned before I’d love to create an ATC Card - this challenge should get me motivated

Yes, Karen, you’re right - I basically made it up. I approached Triscape (makers of FxFoto) back in February, and we were off. So, it’s not that it “caught on so quickly” - it really was a 9 month process. You really need at least that long to get widespread coverage, because all the various participants need time to plan. I blogged a bit about it on my personal blog [http://angiepedersen.typepad.com/], as well as on my marketing blog [http://scrapbookmarketing.com/consulting/blog_index.html]. Anyone with questions about the holiday promotion is more than welcome to contact me through either of those blogs. Thanks for the mention (and recognition!), Karen.

Glad to have put you back in touch with the Digi Scrap Wiki Antoinette. I’ll look forward to seeing your contribution in the ATC Challenge.
You’re very welcome Angie. I think it’s a great idea. And I fully appreciate that organising something like this takes a lot of time and effort. So well done to you and the rest of the organisational team on a great event.

Thanks for the history! And, Angie, I’m sorry if my comment came across as degrading to your effort! I didn’t mean to imply it was something thrown together in weeks, I just meant that this is the first one and it was *everywhere*, a major accomplishment for a first time event.

Oh, geez, no offense taken! How could I be offended, with how well the holiday did?
It’s all good!
