Hi there!
Have you ever had a conversation with a friend, and the whole time you’re hardly listening because they have something majorly out of place — like a fly in their hair or mustard on their chin?
It’s the same when there’s something majorly out of place on a scrapbook page. The glaring error keeps people from seeing the story you’re trying to tell.
In 2022, I’m going to try and help you eliminate errors so your pages glisten, instead of glare.
Let’s take another pop quiz.
Here’s a frame cluster made with elements from Unforgettable by KimB Designs.

- Type above 3D elements
- Script letters do not connect

In the middle of every month, we invite you to take time out — 15 minutes per day for 5 straight days — to get things caught up in the area of digital scrapbooking. It’s nothing official. It’s just a little nudge to help you be the best scrapbooker you can be!
What could YOU accomplish with 15 min per day for 5 straight days? Here are a few ideas:
- Work on your smallest, unfinished class.
- Clean out your Download folder.
- Keyword and/or rename your photos and downloaded kits from December.
- All caught up? Create a scrapbook page (with or without photos)

Frame Cluster Pop Quiz Answer
- PROBLEM: The word “memory” is using a script font. When using a script font, the letter’s ligatures need to connect when possible.
- SOLUTION: The Horizontal Type tool has a Tracking setting. When you adjust the Tracking, you adjust the space between letters of a word. You can even highlight a couple of letters of the word and only adjust those if needed.
Here is what the frame cluster should look like. Now I’m ready to fill that cute little frame with a favorite photo and finish my scrapbook page.
