Fun and functional issues! I'm not a digi scrapper, but I hear that there's valuable info in the Digi issue even for traditional paper scrappers like me. And who doesn't need some organizational tips? Looking at my overflowing scrap space, I know I need all the help I can get. Thanks for the chance!

I had my entire computer wiped out by a virus, so I've been away for a while. LOVE the new layouts below! Your girls are so cute and spunky abd your pages are so colorful and fun. I will have to catch up on your other recent posts...

I've dabbled in digital scrapping, but my organization leaves a lot to be desired, I'd love to win a copy of that book! thanks for the chance to win, and the links to CK's blog, maybe I can put some handy hints into practice this weekend.

These look like two great books! I especially love anything to do with digital...I never scrap without my computer and Photoshop...however, my finished layout is paper (so that make me a hybrid scrapper). Thanks for the chance to win!

Hi Suzy,
I love both of these books. This year on my goal list is too try some digital scrapping and finally redoing my small small scrap space so I badly need some help setting up a new functional organized fun space. Thank you so much for this chance to win. Have a great weekend.

Hi Suzy,
My cluttered scraproom could use some more organization...I have piles of projects I am working on and everytime I open my closet door something falls out! I have seen some beautiful digital layouts so if I won this book I would give it a whirl. Hope you are doing well.

I would be over the moon to win the organisation book. I love to organise!!!!! :) Thanks for the lovely give-away Suzy. Kudos to you on the "healthy" thing. I am so with you on that. For the longest time I was unhealthy, then set myself a goal and lost 12kg, I ran and took part in triathlons, even ran a 21km marathon, and now I have gone and lost my motivation and haven't exercised in months. I know I need to get back into it, but am struggling to get going!!!! Have a lovely weekend. xx

I think that Organization book is perfect! In the midst of moving, and I hope to have a better and more functional craft space!! Thanks for the chance to win!

I've been hesitating to enter the world of digital scrapbooking, but maybe this book would help. And I always need help organizing my stashes.
PS I always love looking at your layouts - they are beautiful.

I haven't made the jump to digital yet - unless you count printing my journaling occasionally. :) I definitely need the 2nd book - that's my struggle always!
