Diverse Background

Well, I’m feeling a smidge better today….and I mean a smidge.  But it definitely feels good to get out of bed for awhile.  After checking some of my “go-to” sites, I discovered one of my favorite things…a new “Clearly the Best” videos from Close To My Heart.  It’s actually great timing, as the first two…

Pigment Inks vs. Dye Inks

I’ve included below the most recent video from Close To My Heart.  Monica and Kristine discuss the differences in how pigment inks and dye inks look on both cardstock and pattern papers….pigment is more opaque and vibrant, while dye ink is more translucent and less vibrant.  However, I would be lying if I didn’t say I was…

Monogram Magic

I’m so excited! I just purchased a couple of these cute little stamps a couple of days ago and can’t wait to make some “cute litte” cards with them….or whatever else I can come up with…or lift…like the weekly calendar that Kristine and Monica show in this video full of great ideas for the Monogram…

Studio J: Step-by-Step Basics Video

A couple of months ago, I purchased a membership to Close To My Heart’s online, digital scrapbooking program, Studio J.  I can personally tell you that I had very few issues using the program as I made my first digital layout and those that I had were easily overcome.  There is a learning curve, as…

New Random Stamping & Faux Stitching YouTube Video

Videos are fun to make, but time intensive.  In the past, I’ve waited until everyone had gone to bed and then I would record my tutorial, because if it’s not my husband coughing in the background or yelling at the dog (or kids), it’s my kids making noise, the cat jumping/clawing at the door to…

My drugs of choice…

No offense to anyone, but all I got to say, is thank God I’m not a drug user, smoker, or big drinker (like one a month…maybe), because I have such an addictive personality that I hate to imagine what my life would be like if I had gone that route.  I get so addicted to…

New YouTube Video

Just finished up a video to show the accordian fold that I used in the layout I created for my Scrap Club this month. I’ll be showing some of the other techniques I used once I get the videos edited.

New You Tube Videos

Here is the series of videos I made to show the making of the “Cracked Glass” card that I taught for the CTMH Virtual Convention.  The second and third videos demonstrate the actual embossing and cracking.  The first video is basically the introduction and beginnning card construction.  I’m not able to get the fourth video done until later…
