Hybrid Spotlight: City Bicycle Junk Journal

By Marisa Lerin Wed, 04/18/2018 - 00:00

I've been making my own junk journals, and it's a super fun craft to try. I'll share more about my own in the future, but today I'm so excited to share a beautiful junk journal made by Penny using the City Bicycle Print Kit.

New Today: The Good Life April

By Marisa Lerin Mon, 04/16/2018 - 00:00

I was looking for a new direction for my designs, and considering the fact that when I actually sit down to decorate my layouts I prefer a bundle that's more generic. These days I scrap almost exclusively weekly pocket layouts, so bundles tied to a specific theme are rarely useful to me, except for occasional bits and bobs. And I'd like to design something that I can use in my weekly spreads. I've had "The Good Life" title on my list for a while, but it seemed too good to use in a way. Then I decided why not do it every month? It's a good theme to explore and why limit it to a one time thing? So for the foreseeable future I plan to have a monthly bundle called The Good Life, with new colors each month. And to make it even better I've invited the other designers to join me as they're inspired. I'm looking forward to seeing how this project develops, and hope you like it too!

And now, some inspiration from the creative team:

About Me

Hi There! I’m Marisa Lerin and you’ll see me around at Pixel Scrapper a lot. I started this site in 2010 soon after I discovered a new love in digital scrapbooking. Pixel Scrapper has gone through some significant changes since that time and it’s grown into this lovely community site you are seeing now. I am daily surprised by the turn of life’s events that has led me down this path. If you're new to the site, welcome! Here are a few tidbits about me that I hope will help you get to know me better!

I’m originally from Minnesota, USA, but spent a good chunk of my childhood living abroad (in Bolivia and Hong Kong). I returned to Minnesota to attend university, got married and then moved overseas again (Korea, then Jordan and 1 year of traveling). My designs are heavily influenced by these many nomadic years. I am currently back in the USA, now living in the great state of Oregon!

I have no official training for what I’m doing, since I decided very wisely (haha) to study physics in university. I am always learning new things about digital scrapbooking, and this community has been immensely helpful for that!

If I manage to stop digital scrapbooking you will probably find me watching TV, reading or baking. I also enjoy writing for the blog here at Pixel Scrapper where I talk about whatever happens to be catching my fancy at the moment.
