I had a few friends direct message (DM) me on Facebook and Instagram, wondering if I still have my Bon APPetit Digital Recipe Kit available for purchase. For a VERY short period of time I had a link to purchase it here on this blog. However, I found the monthly rates at the various online platforms where I can set up a shop are too expensive for me right now for just one product, so I removed that link. 

I do want to make this kit available for those interested in purchasing. The best way I can do it right now is by invoicing through PayPal. So if you are interested in the kit, please send your email address to kelly@pixelstopages.com, and I will send you a PayPal invoice. Once I see that the invoice has been paid, I will send you a link to the download. Please note that the response may not be immediate, but you will receive the link within 24 hours!

So a little history about the this kit. It was originally created for a digital recipe organization class I was teaching at Scrapaneers. This was before I shifted to mobile memory keeping and was still digi-scrapping on my desktop. Once the Project Life App came along, I reorganized the kit a little bit, making it more friendly to use in conjunction with the PL App. 

When I designed the kit, I wanted it to be more "clean" than "cute." The graphic designer in me wanted something that was more representative of a cookbook that one would purchase at a store, rather than scrapbook. I didn't want the kit to have a bunch of embellishments like stickers, but wanted it to have a variety of elements that would allow the user to tell a story about the recipe or give it a descriptive label if they so desired. I am really happy with the end result and love the pages I created with it!

The price of the kit is $19.99. And friends, there is A LOT in this kit. When I reconfigured the kit to make it more app-friendly 3 years ago, I recorded an introductory video explaining what was in the kit and how I envisioned it being used. Watch the video below, as I'm sure it will answer any questions you may have! I am planning on creating add-ons for this in the future! Anything you'd like to see in addition to what is already there? Leave a comment and I'll see what I can do!

Here are just a few pages I have created with the kit (they are 6x8 in size). You can see these pages and more by clicking the "Recipe Pages" link in the menu bar at the top of the page. It will give you a better idea of how these are laid out in the book. I have yet to print it as there are a few more recipes I need to add to it!

Back in October of 2018 I was a guest blogger for one of my favorite memory keepers in the world, Ali Edwards! I recorded a few tutorials of how to use her digital products in the Project Life and LetterGlow apps. It was such an honor to provide her customers with a way to document their photos and stories using her digital goodies on their mobile devices! No laptop or desktop needed! If you are interested in reading that blog post, just click this link! 

Fast forward to today, and guess what? Today Ali has posted another set of tutorials I recorded for her on her blog! This time using her products with Affinity Photo for iPad! If you have been wanting to dip your Apple Pencil (or finger–no Apple Pencil needed!) into the waters of Affinity Photo, guys, these tutorials are for you! There are three videos and they really give you just what you need to know to get started with Affinity! Click this link for more information about Affinity.

These tutorials couldn’t come at a more perfect time! Did you know there is a sale in Ali’s shop on digital products and classes right now? If you didn’t, you do now! Follow this link to her shop (it’s not an affiliate link-I just Iike to share) and have fun loading up your cart with a bunch of digital goodies! And when you have checked out, take a look at this tutorial I recorded a few weeks ago showing you how I organize her products in iCloud Drive. This other post has a pdf you can download and refer to when you are organizing those products. It includes a list of suggested category/folder names I use when I organize Ali’s products in my iCloud Drive.

Isn’t it great that this is all happening on a Friday? It gives you something to do all weekend long! Have fun! And please feel free to contact me with ANY questions you have about mobile memory keeping. I’m here to help!

Super quick post, friends! You guys are awesome! Thank you so much for such a positive response to digital kit organization video I posted last week. I had several requests through Facebook and Instagram asking for a handout with the folder names of the various categories I use iCloud Drive. I typed up a quick handout for you to download. Just click here to download!

I don’t know about you, but sometimes I just don’t feel like scrapping. Do you ever feel that way? Maybe it’s the turbulent times we are living in at the moment, who knows. But I have the whole month of March that needs documenting and I just don’t want to. Instead, I’ve been in mood to organize my digital files. How crazy is that?

My digital scrapbook supplies are organized on both my desktop computer (iMac) and in iCloud Drive. Keeping them in iCloud Drive allows me to access them on my iPhone or iPad. On my computer, the kits stay intact, but I reorganize them into different categories in iCloud Drive. I’ve been doing this since 2017 and I’m pretty happy with the little system I have going. 

I have subscribed to Ali Edwards Story Kits for a few years and there were several kits I needed to get reorganized in iCloud Drive (ok–maybe a little more than several). Since our beaches are closed and community pool is shut down, I had nothing but time on my hands to do some digital housekeeping. It took about 3 or 4 6-hour days 😳, but I am happy to report I now have all of the products I’ve ever purchased from Ali’s site organized in iCloud Drive and this makes me so darn happy! 

The tutorial below demonstrates how I go about copying digital scrapbook kits from my desktop computer to iCloud Drive. It’s about 25-minutes long, so get the kids situated in there online classes, grab your AirPods, an adult beverage and take a listen! Oh! And by the way! Did you know that iCloud Drive is available for Windows? Here is an article explaining what iCloud Drive is, including links to download the app for various platforms.
