Introducing: The Pronto Collection

It's happened!! Britt-ish Designs has officially taken the leap into creating products perfect for using in your Project Life scrapping, or as I like to call it "pocket-style". Yes, those cute little pockets are taking over the digital world now too, and I just couldn't resist creating a full collection. I've got journal cards, title cards, fillers, elements and a full paper pack!

Why, now? Well, besides Project Life being the hottest trend in scrapping right now, I've decided to do my own personal Digi-Journal this year pocket-style. But no paper cards and binders for this girl. I'm all-digi, baby. I'll create my pages digitally and print a book at the end of the year. However, all my pocket-style products are perfect printables to print, cut and slip into those adorable page protectors.

If you're not into "pocket-style", just wait til you see the amazing traditional style pages some of my Britt Girls created!! This collection can do it all!

I started making my own products to scrap my WEEK 1 digi-journal pages back in January, and though - "Hey!! I should just make an entire kit of this stuff". So here we are . . . about to release "The Pronto Collection"!!! YAY!

"The Pronto Collection"


"The Pronto Collection" is all about scrapping quick, smart, and of course, WITH STYLE! All of the coordinating Pronto products can be purchased together in the full collection at a discounted price!

Here are all the products included in the collection. They are all in the shop individually as well.

"Pronto: 3x4 Cards"



"Pronto: 4x6 Cards"



"Pronto: Pieces"



"Pronto: Papers"



Ok let me tell you about the awesome Corner Rounding Photoshop Action that comes FREE with ALL Britt-ish Designs card packs!

You can turn any PNG card from


YEP!!! I LOVE rounded corners for my cards (as you'll see in my pages below), but rounding the corners can be a pain. This is all about scrapping your week QUICKLY, right? So I'm giving you a free Corner Rounding Action inside all my card packs!! (Instructions on installation and using the action in Photoshop are included as well.)

OK - here are my WEEK 2 pages from my personal Digi-Journal using "Pronto":



I'll definitely be sharing my digi-journal pages all throughout the year. Posting them will help keep me accountable to stick to the goal of completing the whole year. And since I'll be digi-journaling all year long, I'm POSITIVE you'll see lost more pocket-style products, collections and freebies from Britt-ish Designs. And speaking of freebies - did I mention there's a sweet little freebie at the bottom of this post???

Ok here are the pages my Britt-Girls created. You'll see what I mentioned before about the versatility of this collection!!

WHEW! This was a marathon post. If you're still with me, I appreciate your patience in reading all this. Land sakes!! Have a magical weekend and happy [pocket-style] scrapping!!!!!! hehehe

it's time

It's time, people! Time to start a digi-journal! I did one all year long back in 2007, and I regret not keeping up with it. That 2007 digi-journal is such a treasure. I wish I had three more volumes for the last three years. In fact, my digi-journal is what made me start this blog in the first place, way back in May of 2007! I wanted a place to post my weekly pages.

What's a digi-journal you ask, its just a way to keep a journal with a splash of digi-scrapping involved. Your pages can be as simple or as "stacked" as you want!! But unlike your average scrapbook layouts, the focus is on the journaling, what happened that week. Not so much on the photos. This year I think I'll lean more toward the simple style. Keep things easy and clean, but I still have to have a few layered elements probably. That's just my style.

Today I'm releasing a set of digi-journal templates, to help those of you who want to join my digi-journal journey, to get started. Some of you might remember, quite a while back, I released a set of these digi-journal templates, but they've been long-since retired. So here's a brand new, fresh set of digi-journal templates.

"Digi-Journal Templates 2 - 12x12"



And they also come in 8x10 size! My scrapbooks are all 12x12, but 8x10 is the size I do my digi-journal. When the year's complete, I make an 8x10 book through blurb.com. I like this size. It's very journaly to me. And 12x12 is much too much space for a week's worth of journaling.

"Digi-Journal Templates 2 - 8x10"



Same templates. Different size.

Here's my resolution page for 2011. I decided to use the new templates to record my resolution, and feelings about starting a digi-journal this year.



Also new in the shop today . . .

"Queen of the Castle"



"Queen of the Castle" is a fun little mini-kit that was previously a participation prize over at MouseScrappers, but now its in the store available for one and all.

I'm diligently trying to convert some of my Britt Girls into digi-journalers, just ask them! We'll see if any of them follow suit. But for now, look at the creative ways they used these new templates!!



OK, time to enjoy this week's Show Offs!!

All of my Show Offs this week are getting my new templates. I hope lots of you will get inspired and start a digi-journal. Thanks for sending in your work this week. It was so much fun to look at!

Psst! Would you like to Show Off and get free stuff too?? Well, read all about how it works at the bottom of THIS POST.

Hope you guys are all having a lovely holiday season! We have some fun plans to go out to dinner and then play games with family tonight! I'm excited!!! Can't wait to ring in the new year and get a big smooch from my hubby.

Sorry my posts have been few and far between lately. I've been busy busy busy! But all is well in the Leavitt household. We're happily welcoming 2011!

See ya next year. (cheesy, I know!)
