<h5>New Kits Inspired by Scrapbook MAX! Scrapper</h5>
<p><em>Scrapbook MAX! user Linda DuBois shared this wonderful story with us about how a search for a particular kit inspired a Scrapbook MAX! designer&#8217;s special creations&#8230;</em></p>
<div class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 210px"><a href="http://www.scrapbookmax.com/gallery/data/2909/Mt_-Rushmore-003-Avenue-of-Flags.jpg" rel="lightbox[3943]"><img alt="" src="http://www.scrapbookmax.com/gallery/data/2909/thumbs/Mt_-Rushmore-003-Avenue-of-Flags.jpg" width="200" height="200" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Mount Rushmore</p></div>
<p>I have the most wonderful experience with <em>Scrapbook MAX!</em> that I would like to share with you. My name is Linda DuBois and I am very, very, new to digital scrapbooking. I am so new that I easily become overwhelmed looking for the right papers and embellishments to create my pages with. I have Photoshop Elements, and can use it, but stumbled across <em>Scrapbook MAX!</em> and immediately purchased it, and thus started my love for <em>Scrapbook MAX!</em> and their kits and templates.</p>
<p>My husband and I are retired, and this past fall, we finally were able to take one of our dream vacations in our motor home. We live in PA and had certain places in the west that we have wanted to visit most of our lives. So, our new adventure began and my desire to scrapbook our adventure became a dream. I wasn’t making much progress with my pages, even with the beautiful kits available for <em>Scrapbook MAX!</em>, and the ability to even use other papers and embellishments from other sources. It just wasn’t coming together.</p>
<p>I asked <em>Scrapbook MAX!</em> designer Deanne Gow-Smith if I could send her pictures of my pages and tell her what I didn’t like.This was the start of a very endearing dialogue between Deanne and I. Before I knew it, Deanne was busy creating three very custom and special kits just for my scrapbooking needs. I do not know how, but Deanne somehow knew exactly the look that I was trying to achieve. Her new kits for Mount Rushmore, Yellowstone, and Yosemite are absolutely stunning, and are exactly what I wanted for my pages. What a wonderful way to scrapbook. If you need something, these ladies will create it just for you! Thanks Deanne for the wonderful pages, and thank you Deanne and Scrapbook Max for making my job documenting this wonderful trip so easy.</p>
<p><strong> &#8211; Linda Dubois</strong></p>
<p><em>What a great story, Linda! Thank you for sharing it with us, and for sharing your lovely layouts (below). It sounds like you had a true holiday adventure, and a great experience remembering it through your pages!</em></p>

<h5>Deanne Wants to Design A Theme Based on Your Ideas!</h5>
<p><em>From Deanne Gow-Smith:</em></p>
<p>I recently had the experience of custom designing three kits for a <em>Scrapbook MAX!</em> Community Member, Linda. Linda had been a a trip to Yosemite, Yellowstone and Mt. Rushmore and had photos to make a memorable scrapbook but needed the KITS.</p>
<p>I enjoyed making them so much with all her input for desired elements that I wondered if there are many other scrapbookers who would like a KIT made especially for them with a theme maybe they have been unable to find anywhere. So, I came up with this idea: </p>
<p>If you have an idea for a kit that you would like me to consider designing, all you have to do is email me at emaildeanne@gmail.com this month (February 2012) with your request for a specific KIT theme. Add lots of details of what you would like to see in it: colours, type of embellishments, wordart, etc. I will select one of suggestions I receive, and create a custom designed KIT and a TEMPLATE for the winner. </p>
<p>Just for participating and emailing me your request and suggestions, you will receive 1 x FREE KIT valued around $5.00.</p>
<p><strong> Note:</strong> THE WINNER of the custom-designed kit is invited to post a layout that they make with this kit in the <em>Scrapbook MAX! </em>gallery. We&#8217;d love to feature it and the story behind your request in an upcoming issue of The Groove!</p>

<h2>In the Groove</h2>
<p>Happy New Year and a wonderful 2012 to all of our Groove readers! In this issue, we&#8217;re reviewing some of our favorite layouts made by scrappers like you! We also have the details about a MAJOR SALE in the Digital Scrapbooking Kits and Templates Store (it&#8217;s the perfect time to stock up for the year!).</p>
<p>If that wasn&#8217;t enough fun, you&#8217;ll also get the scoop on a number of awesome challenges taking place in the forums this month, with fabulous freebies and prizes (we&#8217;re talking entire kits here &#8211; just for trying!). Kick off a new year of scrapbooking and inspiration with The Groove!</p>
<h3>A Year in Review</h3>
<p>It&#8217;s no secret that we have a very talented group of scrappers in our community. We&#8217;ve selected a handful of our favorite layouts posted in our gallery in 2011 (we don&#8217;t have room to show you all of them here! <img src='http://www.scrapbookmax.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  ). We are always amazed with the range of styles and themes you scrap. </p>
<p>Letha&#8217;s layout showcased above is an absolutely stunning heritage page. Below, you&#8217;ll also find a modern and creative winterscape (KapiColors), a richly colored outdoor page with a country feeling (eye), and a bright, sunshine-y summer layout (lindaathome). Anything and everything can be scrapped with <em>Scrapbook MAX!</em> and your imagination!</p>
