(As answered by The Daily Digi Queen- Steph)<\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: center;\">\n<li>The <a href=\"https:\/\/thedailydigi.com\/playbooks\/\" target=\"_blank\">Playbooks<\/a> were started because my team would post these beautiful layouts and we   would often ask each other, &#8220;How did you&#8230;.?&#8221;  I thought how cool it   would be for other digital scrappers to be a &#8220;fly on the wall&#8221; in our   forum.  It snowballed into the idea of the Playbook which is now an   interactive ebook that includes layouts created by our team members and   the special techniques or tips they used in creating them.  The  Playbook  also includes at least one &#8220;Play-by-Play&#8221; (step-by-step)  tutorial each  month.  We also include a couple of free gifts in each  book as well.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">It doesn&#8217;t matter if you have been digital a long time or are brand new, there is always something for everyone in the Playbooks<\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: center;\">\n<li> The Daily Digi also have a category called <a href=\"https:\/\/thedailydigi.com\/category\/a-gift-for-you\/\" target=\"_blank\">&#8220;Gift  For You&#8221; <\/a>on their site, yahoo freebies!

Sometimes, I will see a product that I love and  think of photos that will go with it.  Sometimes I get lucky and have a  great photo that I can&#8217;t wait to scrap.
