Hi ,

Last weekend, my Indiana weather warmed up enough for kayaking and camping. So this happy girl, and her happy hunk, hit the road for four days of rest and relaxation — which resulted in hundreds of photos waiting to be sorted and tagged.

THIS is why I’m SO glad it’s time for Boogie Week!!

— On the Calendar This Week —

Scrap a Tut & Toot a Scrap. Search the archives on our blog to find a new-to-you treasure inside an oldie-but-goodie tutorial. We’ve got hundreds of them waiting for you to play with this week. Learn more below.

Scrap 15 Boogie Week for November. If you’re like me, and I’m pretty sure you are, you’ve got some scrapbooking projects or photos that could use a bit of your attention. Let’s do it together this week — just 15 minutes per day. Get the details below.

Bonus: find a quick Color Chip shortcut tip below.

I hope YOU have a beautiful week. Love and creative success,

Shortcut Savviness

Quick Color Chip Shortcut

Did you know that:

Alt Backspace (Mac: Opt Delete) fills a layer or a selection with the Foreground Color Chip.
Ctrl Backspace (Mac: Cmd Delete) fills a layer or a selection with the Background Color Chip.

What is it good for? Here's two things...

Quickly changing the color of a type layer.
1. Press the letter D to reset the Color Chips.
2. Activate a type layer.
3. Press Ctrl Backspace (Mac: Cmd Delete) to change the color of the type to white.
Starting from scratch on a worn out layer mask.
1. Activate a layer mask
2. White should be the foreground color, if it’s not, press the letter X.
3. Press Alt Backspace ((Mac: Opt Delete) to fill the mask with white so you can start masking from scratch.

Get Smart, Get Social, Have Fun!

Scrap 15 Boogie
It’s time to Boogie!

If you’re like me, you have a digital project (or eight) that needs a little bit of your undivided time and attention.

This could be:

A class you started, but then didn’t finish.
That calendar you intend to finish before Christmas.
Those Thanksgiving 2019 photos you need to get scrapped.
A desperate need to get your stash organized and tagged.
A desire to weed out your font or kit collection.

Honestly, I think I could put myself in every single one of those categories!! Yikes!
