Style is all about personal expression. The SISters over at ScrapInStyletv know how to strut their scrapbooking stuff and have a blast doing it.

We recently got a visit from our ScrapInStyle friends here in Miami. If you were ever curious about what goes on behind the scenes here at Scrapblog, check out the most recent episode (#71) of SIStv. This is your chance to meet the Scrapblog team!

SIStv’s digital desginer Audrey Neal has also created two really cool Scrapblog themes (I’ve included them below) and you can only access them by loading the builder from the SIStv website. So click here to get started. Jeanette and the other Fashionistas at SIStv will be giving you some challenges so keep checking the blog to join in the fun. You can check out BigSIS Jeanette’s Scrapblog profile here.

If you are already a SISter or a MiSISter, you can also post your Scrapblog pages on your SIStv profile. After you publish your Scrapblog, download the pages as a Jpeg. Feel free to add me as a contact over at SIStv (I’m rjsaylor), I want to see all of your work!

Outlook by Audrey Neal

Has it already been over a year? Time has flown by and so much has changed! When I first joined Scrapblog as the “Community Guy,” which was about the friendliest title we could think of, we still hadn’t launched our website and were working day and night behind the “bubblewrap”. Since then, it has been one of the most fun and personally rewarding work experiences I’ve had.

Wait, did I say work? Well, there was some of that, but interacting with the community was far from work … it was rewarding time. I’ve met so many great people, in the US, in Brazil and in other countries. I’ve made friendships. And I’ve connected with people across various other social networks. I’ve also helped countless others with questions and tips. Some of the best experiences were when I would meet someone and they would say “you’re with Scrapblog? I love your service!” There was so much more to it, though, including strategizing, developing products, putting in processes, communicating with the press, general management … those were the work bits. These memories count for so much, as well as my own that I shared as a community member.

But in addition to Scrapblog, I am involved in other community building, teaching and consulting activities. I’ve been organizing and running wonderful BarCampMiami events, I teach Social Media at the University of Miami, I co-organize RefreshMiami web meetups, and, more significantly from a career perspective, I consult to companies on social media. These activities are taking on increased importance, and I have decided to focus more on these areas. This is an exciting time and I’m now setting sail on a new direction.

I will miss my colleagues, partners and suppliers, but I am sure that we will be seeing each other again. It has been great fun working with Scrapblog and I am sure that we will remain in close contact.

I won’t be gone entirely, though, as I will remain as a consultant with Scrapblog and of course, as an active community member! :))

Supposedly, Einstein said that if all the bees die, humanity will only have four years left. Tinkerbell explores the role of bees in this great environmental and educational scrapblog, “The vanishing of the bees”. There’s a great video in it!

With the Oscars coming up in less than a week, here’s a scrapblog that stood out. Check out Chelsey’s great presentation of the video clips!

How about making your scrapblog about your favorite movies of the Oscars? The nominees are listed here and I would venture to say that clips of the movies can be found on YouTube.
