A New Mini - Video

A mini album I created. As always, I am completely in love with it. It holds 18 pictures and folds open "frontwards and backwards"

The simple front

I actually would like to go back prior to 2009 and make albums of our pictures from then - more inspiration to come!

Clear Mounts Stamps - Video

I am sold on the new clear mount stamps Stampin' Up! sells!! Not only do I find it an equal in superior quality to the wood mount stamps, but I love the money savings of going with clear mount, and the storage space situation is *amazing* too!! Check out this video to see how to mount and use the stamps. With a few of my personal ideas and tips in there too...like which clear blocks to buy. Like I mention at the end of the video...I will soon be converting my wood mount to clear I think...because of all the space it will save me.

*Please forgive the white streaks and flecks all over my hands! I've been painting:-)
**Also forgive the shadows, I can't seem to figure out a place with proper light and limited shadows.
***in the video I mention buying another block (smaller) and saying "I don't know why"...I don't know why I said that. Lol. I don't want it for ease of use, but for using multiple images and the stamp-a-ma-jig...you want more than 1 block so you don't have to reposition the stamp-a-ma-jig every single time. Brain freeze moment!

Long Side, Short Side - Video

Check out this little explanation to help you with the "long side, short side"...it will help you save paper with fewer mistakes, I hope!

Sorry for trying to do everything with only one hand, I had to hold the camera!

Never Ending Card - Video

Here is a little clip of how the never ending card works. It's a little hard to do with only one hand, so it's a little slow going opening it, however, this is a really cool card & concept! Enjoy!

The front of the card. It is the size of a regular handmade card (4 1/4x 5 1/2)
