Insta Fonts for Instagram FX: cheat sheets

I have been LOVING the amazing response we've been getting for the Insta Fonts...the Instagram Class I'm doing TONIGHT & the Studio 5 segment have really opened doors to what we can DO w/ our Instagram photos! 

THANK YOU! And as a little gift to all of the viewers from Studio 5- How about $2.00 off any of the *individual* Insta Fonts 

Just put any of the individual Insta Fonts into your Shopping Cart, then enter:

RDStudio5 

in the "Apply Discount Code" box to receive your Insta Fonts for $2.00 off.  Offer good until Thursday the 22nd! *happy thanksgiving*

So, with all of the talk about how to fancy up your photos on your phone & HOW to take the creativity up a notch...we've had a lot of new Insta friends asking about 'cheat sheets' for the Insta Fonts.

As I explain in THIS tutorial, Phonto is the app you use to TYPE in the letter to get the fun Insta dingbat designs in there...BUT...they are so small & if you aren't familiar w/ the designs...it can get frustrating.

So...I'm posting the cheat sheets here for the existing 15 Insta Fonts we have in the store! And from here on out...each of the NEW Insta Fonts *yup, you heard me right...NEW ones coming soon** will be included IN the download kit! 

Each of these Insta Fonts are designed to be the CAPITAL letter of the alphabet. So, each kit/font comes w/ 26 designs EXCEPT the Insta Numbers since I wanted a whole set 1-31! So, you will note: there's a,b,c,d,e in there.

Is Scrapbooking Dead?

This is a big question! And at 11am this morning I'm excited & honored to be on a panel discussion on our local TV station: Studio 5 where this gets answered!  The amazing Stacy Julian of Big Picture Scrapbooking, fabulous Becky Higgins of Project Life, Mark Katchen of 1000 Memories & I will be 'forecasting the future' & discussing real solutions on memory keeping.  

I'm really excited to talk about this...you know how I feel about it...it's not dead...it's just evolving. Just like any art...the art of memory keeping is evolving w/ our needs, our technology & our lifestyles.  Even though I've been designing traditional scrapbook products for 9 years, you know I have always been a little bit 'techy' when it comes to my personal memory keeping....because it works for me.  So, don't miss this show as we share some fun ways to uplift and inspire YOU and the way YOU keep your memories!

And, as you'll see on my segment...I'll be talking about Instagram. *surprise, surprise*...Don't forget...tomorrow night I'll be teaching a LIVE class at Dear Lizzie Boutique...see HERE for info to register! 

Until then....look for ways to....

P.S For you out of towners....you can watch LIVE web stream HERE on the site. And when it's over, I'll be sure to add the link to view...so you won't be left out! *wink*

Find the Happiness

Today this is your challenge: Find the happiness even when it's not obvious.

There's HOPE. 

Just believe.

I know a lot of people that have been very saddened about the US Presidential Election outcome. I don't talk politics on my blog here, but I DO offer ideas to uplift & inspiRe. So...w/ so many of us having so many different feelings today...I wanted to offer up some ways I've found peace in this whole election process.

1. Find the happiness even when it's not obvious.  This quote is very special to my family. And, trust me....we've needed it. I believe that as a person, wife, mom, friend, daughter, sister...I need to LOOK for the happiness in every situation, because I believe it's there. Women of the nation- the world- we need to be examples of this.  We CAN find the happiness, we have to look for it & practice it. every. day.

2. Have hope.  Hope is a word that means so much to me.  I have hope in the future. I have hope in my family. I have hope in my community. I have hope in our country. I have hope in our world. It all boils down to how WE act & what WE do in our own little circles.  Without hope, there's despair...& I for one do NOT like to feel despair! We can rise above that w/ HOPE!

3. Just Believe. Be faithful. Be happy. Be hopeful. BELIEVE that there's a purpose to everything. As an LDS woman, I pray for our President all the time. And I will continue to pray for our President.  No matter where we live- USA or not_ we can always pray for our country's leaders.  I echo these words:

After a long campaign, this is now a time for Americans to come together. It is a long tradition among Latter-day Saints to pray for our national leaders in our personal prayers and in our congregations. We invite Americans everywhere, whatever their political persuasion, to pray for the President, for his administration and the new Congress as they lead us through difficult and turbulent times. May our national leaders reflect the best in wisdom and judgment as they fulfill the great trust afforded to them by the American people.

I believe this will bring miracles. I believe this will instill hope in our hearts & families. It's time to band together as Americans & find the happiness in every situation! Life is to be lived & loved...so, smile! Every little thing's gonna be alright! *wink*

cReative Team Tuesday: Party!

Do you have a party or some kind of celebration coming up? Check out how Amy printed out Rhonna Designs to create party Menus, place cards, favors...yes, the list goes on! She even used one of the Insta Spooky images & cut it out of vinyl for her wall!

Seriously...do you die? I'm in LOVE with all of her touches! What a fun party!  From the DIY party blowers, to the little signs here & there to the 'Happy Halloween' vinyl on her wall. Perfection!

Thanks so much for uplifting & inspiRing us, Amy!

uplifting and inspiring: quotes

Have you ever been having a 'not-so-good' day & you come across a quote that just uplifts and inspiRes you? Me, too! and I have to say...I love it! I don't consider those 'accidents' or 'coincidences'...I believe they are sprinkled from heaven & are there to help us along...to help us rise up out of the slump.  I LOVE taking my Rhonna Designs Insta Fonts or Digital bRushes & cReating quotes that are uplifting & inspiRing. I usually post them on Instagram, Twitter, Pinterest & Facebook, but I wanted to share a few recent ones here on my blog:

This one is by Deiter F. Uchtdorf & when I heard it, it struck my heart...I wanted to share it with others.  It just made my day when I read it again & LOVED putting it together in a Chalkboard art way!

 And...of course you've heard this one before, but WOW...some days you just have to hear it! & say it to yourself over & over again! *wink*

I'm in LOVE with Chalkboard art...but, you already know that.  With it being November, I'm really into the Grateful, Gratitude, Thankful quotes...

...I love finding new quotes....what are some of your favorites lately? What uplifts and inspiRes YOU?
