Scrapbook Tips ~ We Can Never Have Too Many!

I thought today I would share a few scrapbooking tips:

~If you have a sticker that you would like to pop up on your artwork -- put baby powder on the back of the sticker to make it not sticky and then use a pop dot.

~You always want to make sure the items that you use in your project are archival-safe, acid-free, and photo-safe -- it will help to keep them from deteriorating over time.

~You also want to make sure you store your photos (until you get them scrapbooked) in an acid-free box -- it keeps them safe and organized too.

Ok, so that's all the tips for today...I'll get some more together for more posts in the near future. Do you have any that you think we should know? If so, post them! I'm always on the look-out for helpful tips and ideas!   

Did You Know There Is A New How-To Publication Waiting For You?

I thought today I would share with you a new product that came out in the Autumn / Winter 2012 catalog. I think you're really going to enjoy it! It's called "Make It From Your Heart, Volume 1". It is a softbound how-to publication...featuring 16 two-page layout patterns, 2 single-page patterns, and 12 different card patterns. Since it's softbound it's lightweight...which is great if you want to take it when you go to a crop...or even if you want to carry it while you're out and about (and might have some waiting to do) to check it out. I love taking a book to look at if I know I have someplace to go that I'll have to wait. It's just another way I can fit in scrapbook time...putting together layouts...in my head...so when I do have time to pull my supplies out...I'm ready to rock. So, check it out and let me know what you think.  

Ps. The next picture shows you one of the layouts you'll find in the book. Super cute huh?!
