I absolutely LOVED this week’s episode of the Paperclipping Roundtable! We talked smartphone photos and more crafty tech talk.
Some of the layouts I talked about can be seen in a previous post right here. . .
I also wanted to share more of my favorite iphone and ipad photo apps. I have tested and played with literally dozens of them… and these are the ones I keep, play, and scrap with on a regular basis!

I have decided to postpone the kick off pink week for just a couple days to March 3.
TWO REASONS.
However, after another very fun taping of the Paperclipping Rountable, I am totally inspired! Once the episode is available, I will post details from the show! Until then Happy Zombie killing and as always. Think Pink!

Pantone’s Color of the Year is Honeysuckle 18-2120. Love it or hate it?
It goes without saying that I LOVE IT.Crafting in this color palette makes me happy! And It was nice to see so many fun scrapbook papers and embellishments are being released in this color family. I love it so much in fact, I decided to refresh my blog with the color.
House Beautiful’s annual color issue is all about PINK!
And it is totally inspiring. Even if the thought of pink walls makes you cringe, you have got to check out the issue. There are lots of surprising ways pink was used… that I think would be fun to pull into a scrapbook page or card. Of course the issue just makes me want to continue my quest to have a pink wall in every room of the house.
GIVEAWAY ALERT: Let me know what you think. Honeysuckle… pink… love it? hate it? One winner from each side… love and hate will get a fun prize package. The love its will get a pink gift package to brighten their day… and one “hate it” gal will get a black prize package. {who doesn’t like black} If you are neutral… you are in the running to win both! Winner announced Monday 2/28.
And join me the rest of the week for some “pretty in pink” inspired projects.

Valentines is NOT one of favorite holidays. Probably because, I have not had a Valentine for almost a decade. No matter… my little divas are always fun to shop and decorate for. And as a velentines treat to my readers, leave a comment on any of the posts this weekend and on Monday a lucky winner will get a fun CHA prize package including – Papers from Echo Park, Making Memories Bravissimo, and more!
Hanging in our entrance hall are these big hearts. Each heart is a little umder 12″ and decorated in its own special way. Keep reading for a close up and instructions for each one. I am thinking about cutting some vinyl saying to go right above it…we’ll see.

New to the blog for 2011 is Craft Geek. Each Tuesday I will share some of my favorite crafty, techie tips, apps, and techniques. This is not about digital scrapbooking really – but about how to use technology to enhance your creative and crafting experience. I do start with a little disclaimer that this this post will be iphone and ipad app heavy, but not exclusive. Bottom line is, I blog what I know, and well… apps are big part of my daily life! That said… here we go!
PRINTING FROM THE iPHONE and iPAD
The ability to print directly from the iphone (and ipad) is such a joy. Particularly awesome when I just want to get that memory off the camera and onto a page, or into a card to send off. There are quite a few ways to accomplish this. The two simplest ways – the methods I use, require that you have your printer on your wireless network. If you print from your laptop to your printer without having to plug in… you are already good to go.
1. 
Epson iPrint
If you have a wi-fi Epson printer (I am running an Artisan 700) this is the way to go. The app is free and allows you to adjust all the print settings, such as paper type, size, output, etc.
Keep in mind, this free app only prints pictures. So if you play around with your images in another app – like plastic bullet, be sure to save the image to your photo library. At this time, Epson iPrint does not support document, web, or email printing.
This app allows you to print to MOST wi-fi printers and ALL printers that are on your network via the free WePrint software that works together with this app. It is a fully features app, that for most crafters is more than they need. (see here for full list) But this app is great for printing pictures, emails, snippets from the web, documents, and more. If the list of features leaves your head spinning, or is simply just more than you want/need – I recommend Print for iPad, iPhone, and iPod touch. Brought to you by the same peeps but much.
This is a great app, but does require some set up. After installing, take some time to read the getting started info at theEuroSmartz.
3. AirPrint
With the last version of the iOs, Apple enabled AirPrint. If you have not already – be sure to update your phones software. Once you do, when you go to your photo library, you have the ability to print directly from this spot – in theory. The problem at this time, is that you have to have an airprint compatible printer. For more info check out the Apple website for more info. I don’t own any of these printers, so no AirPrint for me…:(
Do you print from your iphone or ipad? What method do you use? If you try one of these, please leave a comment and let me know how it goes! And be sure to join me next week for more Craft Geeketry!
