I had fun with ribbon on this layout, using it to make an arrow and for a border of ribbon and brads. The arrow and the circle draw the focus to the reflection in the photos that you may not otherwise notice.

Clown Paper Piecing

Wendy — Thu, 13 Nov 2008 04:18:25 +0000

I made this cute jack-in-the-box paper piecing for a swap. I have girls and tend to use pink on most of my layouts so this never got used. You can see below how I used it to make a card. The paper piecing is very detailed so it was really all I needed and it’s a great kid’s card.

Organizing Your Photos (Part 4)

Wendy — Tue, 11 Nov 2008 14:43:54 +0000

Now that you have your pictures all sorted we need to do something with them. Your challenge this week is to print some of those photos, or order prints. There are many online printing places that offer reasonable prices, just watch the shipping. I print most of my own at home but I often print many at once because it’s just easier that way and then I have them ready to scrap whenever I need them.

Altered Paint Cans

Paint cans are lots of fun to alter. They can hold a wide variety of items and are great for gifts. They can be purchased at your local hardware store or at a craft store. I purchased this can at a craft store, decorated it, and filled it with scrapbook supplies for a friend.

Acrylic Letters

I love acrylic letters but these clear embellishments can be hard to challenging at first. This layout shows many different ways to attach acrylics without your adhesive showing…stitch them on your page, attach with brads or staples, or use glue dots and then cover it with ribbon, buttons, or other embellishments.

(Monday 11/3) Organizing Your Photos (Part 3)

Wendy — Mon, 03 Nov 2008 17:22:40 +0000

Your challenge this week is to backup all those photos that you now have organized. I can tell you from experience that one if the worst feelings is the one you have when you think you have lost all your photos. There are many options here – online storage, CDs, external harddrive, etc. Whatever you chose, make a point to do it this week. It will give you peace of mind and there may come a time when you will be very glad you did this.
