Built with WordPress, this site is designed to be a resource for scrapbookers. It offers tips and challenges to help scrappers improve their layout, photography, and journaling skills. The main goal of the site, though, is to encourage their readers to keep at their craft each and every day.

Along those lines, when I took my job at Miles Media I all but abandoned my personal blogging and WP theme/plugin development. (I didn’t have to, I was just “too busy”.) And Miles doesn’t use WordPress for many clients, so I haven’t had many opportunities to work with it at the office, either. In that time I’ve grown by leaps and bounds in my understanding of PHP and MySQL (you don’t know what you don’t know, amiright?), but I forgot just how much fun WordPress can be.

I may not be into scrapbooking, but I’ve been inspired by this new site. Blogging is quite a bit like scrapbooking, after all… it’s just usually more text-based. So I think I’ll be adding the site to my RSS reader; not under “portfolio”, but under “inspiration”.

In light of that, I’m considering branching out into a collection of papers, too. I’m thinking something “masculine”—it doesn’t seem like there’s much of that in the market right now. They just don’t have any really good choices for the pics of their dads, hubbies and older sons (unless they’re in the military).

I think that’s a gross injustice, and I intend to do something about it! I’m going to test the waters a bit with a paper pack, and I might throw another freebie or two into the mix in the meantime, too. We’ll see if they bite. It’ll be fun!
