Just a little back story... for those of you who know me well know that I love photography. This has morphed into a love of scrapbooking and with my techie skills I quickly picked up digital scrapbooking. I have loved being part of the digital scrapbooking community and getting and sharing ideas with other digi-croppers on the Facebook page for Pixels2Pages.
Pixels2Pages started off as an almost underground community for users of the Creative Memories digital scrapbooking software - Storybook Creator. Then they became a subscription support service. All the while they were developing a community of storybook creator users on their Facebook page. Pixels2Pages would share ideas, post training videos or give design challenges on their training site and then... ask their subscribers to do their homework and post it on their Facebook page. The great thing about this is that it's fun to share your finished pages and get feedback, but also to see how others completed the challenges or used the new techniques. Fun, fun, fun.
Flash forward about 8 years and Pixels2Pages were partnered up with Forever, which is now the company that develops, sells and maintains the software I use to digital scrapbook - Artisan. If you have an account with Forever, you get regular updates and often links to try out the training site by Pixels2Pages. I have been noticing that they would show a link to a magazine called "Pages," but never clicked on the link.
This month there was the latest issue published. It is an online issue that can be read through an interface called issuu. The cover below caught my eye so I opened it.

I was paging through and... actually squealed when I saw my own page in their magazine (mine is the one on the bottom right). Later in the issue I saw that my page was one they used to advertise their services. What an honor!
My next thought was, hmmm... I wonder how long this magazine has been out and maybe there are more of my pages in their magazine. So, I was browsing past issues and came to July 2016.
In this issue they didn't have just a single page of mine, but three double page spreads. Whoa! The one one the bottom left is one I shared about our day at the zoo. The next one is at the top right. This is a template I created after they had a lesson on using repetition as a design element.
The third two page spread is below on the top left. One of my favorite pages artistically.

So after a high like this - what does a digi-cropper do? Well, share more pages on Pixels2Pages Facebook page - of course. :)
