How to Use Up Your Scraps for Scrapbook Layouts
If you’re like me, you have a tough time parting ways with pretty paper–no matter how small the piece is. I’ve definitely gotten better over the years by trying to hold true to my new rule of the “scrap” must be at least a 3″x 3″ piece before I save it. For this reason, today’s blog post by Close To My Heart definitely piqued my interest!
Quick Cards with Cricut
Things have been pretty busy here this week preparing for my Annual Holiday Extravaganza Class & All-day Crop. Add in the stress of wondering if our city & neighborhood would be one that would be impacted by PG&E’s Power Shutoff and it feels as though I’m scrambling to get things done (& hope they don’t become undone–like food purchased for Saturday’s event going bad if the power is shut off!)
A Fa-BOO-lous Halloween Card
I received this AMAZING Halloween Card from Robin Charvet. It’s simply too awesome to not share! I love the splatter affect she achieved using our Shimmer Brush in the Color of the Year–Julep. It’s a technique I need to incorporate into an upcoming project for sure! And aren’t those Julep Sequins so beautiful?! They are definitely my favorite sequins collection to date.

Black Ink Pads–Which One is Best?
As a stamper, many times it can be confusing as to which particular black ink pad we should be using for which project. Yesterday, on Close To My Heart’s Blog, they did a wonderful post comparing the different Black Ink Pads and when it’s best to use which one of them. It was a great comparison and one I think all of us could benefit from. Plus, there are great project examples for each!
