Hi there!
What makes you take a photo? Or what makes you create a scrapbook page?
There are many good reasons that you can supply for both questions. But one answer jumps to mind more than others, and it’s connection.
When I take a photo of wildlife, or my dogs doing something cute, or my grandkids being adorable, I take that photo because I want a connection to that moment. I also want other people to connect to that moment when I share my photo (or scrapbook page) with them. That moment meant something special to me, and I want to share that experience with others.
In this week’s blog post, I continue my series on taking better phone photos. My tip helps you take photos that can better connect you to the subject or better connect you to a scene. That connection makes a big difference in the visual appeal of your photos.
Have a great week full of connection-worthy moments!
Love and creative success,
Jenifer Juris, Standing in for Jen White for the Summer

🟠 FingerPointing?? What is it? Get the facts!
Digital Scrapper’s Community has always been a place of beautiful scrapbook pages, but recently it has gotten the attention of the Gallery Standout bloggers. Here’s what this means for you:
– Gallery Standouts is a blog that features daily posts containing a handful of lovely layouts.
– They refer to their posts as “Finger Pointing.”
– You can subscribe to their blog for inspiration.
– If their bloggers choose to feature a layout from our Community, they will leave a comment notifying the author.
– If someone in our community sees that a page from Digital Scrapper’s Community Gallery was featured on their blog, the community member will sometimes create a post in our Community Forum congratulating the original author.
This is just a fun thing. It’s not a competition, and there is no prize. Just lots of warm fuzzies.
1️⃣ Scraplift this page. 2️⃣ Post your page in the Community Gallery.
