This week At Paperclipping

New to Paperclipping? A few things you should know: This is a great place to learn all scrapbooking techniques (I've posted more than 100 video tutorials). Several are free downloads, and I consistently release new tutorials every month. Others are members-only, available when you become a member. Finally, I recommend you subscribe to my RSS feed, or the newsletter (the form is in the sidebar) to make sure you get new videos as they're released. Thanks for visiting!

All I Really Need To Know I Learned From Performing

When I began learning about design I had no idea how often I would revert to things I learned during my performing arts days from middle school to college. A lot of the principles carry over.

If you’ve never been a dancer or singer, you may only appreciate this week for the heavy emphasis on design. But if you also have a love for performing arts, it will be a double-delight as we focus on some of the cross-over principles.

Huge Apologies

I posted an announcement last Monday that I would be taking a “summer break” from blogging that week so I could take care of some pressing commitments. Perhaps it is because of the server upgrade that my post vanished and left no sign of ever existing. I’m sorry if some of you were checking the blog daily with no luck.

We do know that it is because of a server upgrade that is incompatible with our subscription service that is making the video tutorials inaccessible right now. Again, we apologize that we are experiencing a technical glitch. And while the server is trying to do its part to fix the problem, the people at the subscription service must leave the office for the weekend because we haven’t been able to reach them. So, while we had a great video that I was excited to post for our premium subscribers today, it will have to wait, probably until next weekend. Huge apologies. Thank you for your patience.

Paperclipping Live

A kit club called, The Treasure Box Club, asked me to review their product. I just received two of their kits in the mail and on Tuesday night (6:30 pm PST), during Paperclipping Live, I’ll pull out the contents and we can see together how their kits “perform.”

This will be a high-audience participation show because I’d like to hear what you look for in a kit. Why do you buy kits? Why don’t you buy them? What makes a kit good? If we can get Skype and UStream to work together, you can call into the show and share your opinion via Skype. If not, we’ll have to use the chat function.

Either way, please register for the Paperclipping Live chat and with Skype so that you can share your opinion about scrapbook kits.

I’m looking forward to a high-performance week on Paperclipping!

  • Thanks for having me on! I had so many issues with ustream and logging in last night... the only time ever that I wasn't able to sign in. Of course! Glad it finally worked out with skype and I got to say hello! :)

    Oh, I'm excited to see the kit! I have only purchased a kit once, but I look at them all the time. Now with the price of gas and all I think i will be opting to go this route instead of buying at my lss. Some things I look for are as follows: is the kit too "matchy matchy". I want it to work together, but not for you to notice every layout done with it is from the same kit. It has to be diverse, I want lots of pattern paper, but cardstock too. And I don't want an all Christmas or Easter kit. Mix it up, don't give me 15 sheets of Christmas trees or snow. I want unusual embellishment, I can but flowers and buttons, I like the kits that have cool and different things, like the Jenni Bowlin bingo type cards,or the newest products like Stickles, Glimmer Mist and Flock. Also i want the kit club to let me buy per month, not make me buy for 3 or 6 months. I like Sudie's Unkit, because I can take off an item from within the kit if I have it or know I won't use it. In fact I have booked marked her site and my dh told me I could start up next month getting that kit if I want. The Cherry on Top site has very good prices in my opinion. Anyway, I can't wait for Tuesday night!!!
  • Kim, it sounds like you and I have the same criteria for a good kit!
