Picklemama Report Such exciting times at PBP! We have had an influx of amazingly talented designers and the new releases each week make you feel like a kid in a candy store faced with the decision of what to choose! Not only that, but our Aussie designer-base has expanded further, not that we don't love each and every one of our international designers too, but we feel it is important to represent Australian designers in the store, being an Australian-owned site! We have had great coverage in Australia's #1 selling scrapbooking magazine which you can read about further on, as well as being one of the sponsors of the grand opening of Renee Pearson's website which is a great learning resource, and we are in the preparation stages of another exciting project for a digital magazine for November. Always something exciting going on! Pop Deals! For two days only, as a special newsletter promotion, the following items are on sale at 25% off!
What can you do in digital scrapbooking, that you can't do in paper scrapbooking? We thought it might be fun to ask the PBP team to list some things that they love about digi, that aren't possible to do in paper scrapping. We know that there are also some things that you can do in paper scrapping that you can't do in digi, but hey, we are a bunch of digi scrappers after all! Here are the results:
- Undo! Yes, that almighty undo command is very handy, and means zero waste!
- You can pack up after a scrapping session with the push of a button!
- You can create amazing photobooks of layouts that sit slim and neat on the bookshelf, rather than bulky albums which take up lots of shelf space!
Another Cool Idea for Artwork! Following on from our last artwork article, we have something else to show you! Check out these cool art folios! They store artwork up to A2 in size, and are available at My ArtworX, an Aussie-owned business! For an extra fee, you can even get a custom design...now aren't our minds all boggling...something new to scrap!! They come in these designs, full range on the website, or design your own!
Ooh Aaah What's in the Pickle Jar? Since it's inception in March 2007, the Pickle Jar challenge, hosted by Pickleberrypop’s very own Pat the Pickle along with his good friend Kaye (nockosh), has been a popular and stimulating challenge for many of our members. Each fortnight, Pat would give us five pickles fresh from the Pickle Jar with words on them and we would have to make a page with those five items as a minimum requirement. You were always guaranteed to have a tricky pickle in that bunch just to make things a bit more interesting and challenging! As a special treat, every now and then, Pat would find a fabulous gift for participant's playing along! But recently Pat decided it was time for a change and so now I would like to introduce you to the new and improved Ooh Aaah What’s in the Pickle Jar Challenge! To make things easier for you in your busy lives Pat has decided to make the Pickle Jar Challenges monthly now, so you have more time to ponder the complexities of his devious and clever pickles! The challenges will still have the same tricky pickles that you have come to love but you just will have more time to complete your pages! How great is that? AND as an added incentive for playing along with this fabulous challenge, everyone participating will go in the running to win a $10 Gift Certificate to the Pickleberrypop shop! This month's challenge is all about change, it could be a change you have gone through personally, it could be the change of season, the spare change in the money box, anything relating to change! Here are some great pages that have been posted so far this month for your viewing pleasure!
Amanda's Fabulous Font Find!
This month for our fabulous fun font I thought you might like this very cool outlined font from Nymphont @ Dafont. I really like the hand-drawn look of it and I love the fact that you can add colour into the centre of the letters and change it's whole look! This is such a great font for scrapbooking as you can do lots with it, and seriously...how cute is that little heart above the i?!
Gallery Standouts! Keep on scrapping and uploading to the gallery, you never know when your layout might be featured here!

PBP Featured in Australia's #1 Scrapbooking Mag! Pickleberrypop team members wrote a 4-page, and a 5-page article called Digital Dilemmas Solved, which is now published in Vol. 11, No. 4, and Vol. 11, No. 8 of the magazine.
We are excited to welcome the following talented designers to the shop at PBP since our last newsletter. Here is a sampling of what they have all been up to lately!
Layout of the Month for September is Eryk - by Jimena . There was something so intriguing about this page that caused it to really jump out of the gallery this month. The lovely elegant colour scheme was enhanced by the gorgeous tones of the repeated photograph while the larger black and white blended photo brought it all together. The slight angling of the series of photos draws the eye smoothly to the delightful use of the elements! A lovely effect overall and a simply beautiful page. Congratulations Jimena! Please PM fazzbech via the forums to receive a special gift certificate for your next order in the pop shop!
