Pocket Pages: July & August 2019

By Marisa Lerin Fri, 11/22/2019 - 00:00

Feeling the current need to get these 2019 pages done! I often go through a seasons were I let them collect for a while, and then near the end of the year I get real motivated to get them all decorated so I'm not too far behind when then New Year rolls around. I will also confess to purchasing a bunch of kits during the last Scrapbook Day sales, so I've got a lot of fun stuff waiting for me to use it. That definitely helps with the motivation.

New kits are always inspiring. Do you have any recent favorites?

Catch up with my pages from January & February, March & April, and May & June.

Our 2019 Holiday Cards

(The cards featured in this post were provided free of charge by MPix for me to review. Thoughts and opinions are my own.)

I recently worked with one of my favorite print companies, MPix.com, to create our family holiday card. They have printed photo books for me in the past, which I have found to be of great quality, and I found the cards to be of a similar high standard.

I created a simple 5x7 layout in Photoshop for both the back and the front of the card, using a few graphics from my upcoming Christmas bundle (coming December 1!).

I also created a personalized return address label for the envelopes, using this editable return address label and the reindeer from my upcoming bundle.

Magnus was pretty excited to see the card. He was especially pleased that I picked the popsicle photo.

If you're looking to have cards made in the future I would recommend MPix to get the job done. They print my photo books as well, which I always love. And starting tomorrow they'll be having a sale on wall art, if you're still looking for personalized gifts for the holidays.

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.
