Digital Scrapbooking

In many places, September means it's time to go back to school. This month, the designers at Stuff to Scrap created a mega-kit, Back to School Blues. The kit includes 123 papers, 183 embellishments, and 2 full alphas.

September 1 is always such a turning point for me. Even though it is still technically summer, the first of September is a mental transition from one phase of the year to another. As we get full-on into school mode, settle into new routines and chart a path towards the new year, we turn inward and more reflective.
There has never been a better time to get centered and focus on what is truly important, in your life and in your memory keeping. If you’ve not yet participated in this week’s Celebrate Monday, that is a great way to get started.
As we cheer in the new month, will you please join me in welcoming September’s sponsors? These businesses make it possible for me to share with you each day here at Simple Scrapper.
