Today’s episode for the Paperclipping Members is a technique to capture the perfect pumpkin-look for your Thanksgiving layouts. I show a technique for those of you who like your layouts to lay flat, and a technique for those who want dimension.

Do you sometimes wish you had more stamps? For many of us, now is not the time to buy new scrapbooking stuff. But what if you could get a totally different look with the stamps you already have?
Today’s free Quick Tip will give you two ideas for getting a new look from stamps you own. Before you click that video, you should know it’s worth the wait to watch the high-quality version instead of the quick-working one above. You’ll get better visuals.
Continue below for a closer look at the layout we featured in the episode…
After The Feast
The journaling for this layout is a simple list of the things I remember and loved about the unique time together with my own family on Thanksgivingin 2006:

More Thanksgiving To Come
We’re not shutting down for the holiday this week. You can learn more about this layout, as well as one other Thanksgiving layout, in Thursday’s episode for Paperclipping Members. Follow the link to find out about a Paperclipping Membership.
We’re entering the busiest time of the year, so I thought a free episode on an idea for some faster scrapbooking was in order for today’s episode of Paperclipping. For much better viewing, I recommend you download the high-quality version instead watching the quick one above.
For a closer look at the layouts from the tutorial, I’ve posted them below…
Love Us Together
8.5×11 Layout
Album: People We Love album (in the “Keim Time” section)
Journaling reads: I love the stories * the tangents * the tangents * the high’s and the low’s * the many changes * the raw honest * the hysterical moments * the exploration * the differences * the sameness * the loyalty * the admiration * the joking * the memories * the freedom * the time together.
Supplies: Cardstock (Bazzill Basics Paper) * Patterned paper (Basic Grey, Daisy D’s, 7 Gypsies, other unknown) * Wordstrips (7 Gypsies) * Word + Letter stickers (7 Gypsies, Foof*A*La) * Ribbon (Basic Grey) * Transparency (My Mind’s Eye).
Favorite Things From Thanksgiving 2006
8.5×11 Layout
Album: Things We Do
(in the holiday section with the Thanksgiving layouts, which will hopefully become its own album).
Journaling written to my kids reads: Handmade turkeys on the fridge/lists of gratitudes * Running + walking around the school over and over with you-Trin + Blake * Racing and being loud, young, and active.
Supplies: Cardstock (Bazzill Basics Paper) * Patterned paper (Basic Grey, My Mind’s Eye, s.e.i.) * Stickers (Paper Salon, 7 Gypsies) * Letter stickers (Creative Memories) * Chipboard letters (American Crafts) * Journal strip (Creative Cafe with Creative Imaginations).
Remember
8.5×11 Layout
Album: This Is Us, Together
Journaling to my kids reads: I don’t know when it changed, but your interactions with each other have somehow matured. They’re different now and I’m always noticing it. Like this day–your last day of school. As soon as you got home you sat down with the new yearbook and looked through it page by page, laughing and pointing things out, and reminiscing together. There is a maturity about the way you two do this now that surprises me. I just love that you’re growing up to be good friends.
I hope this template idea helps you to continue scrapbooking during the busy holidays. If you use the template, please post it to our flickr page and let me know!

We released today’s Quick Tip on adding vignettes to your photos. In this video, I show how to do it in in two different types of editing software: Aperture and Photoshop. So, even if you have totally different editing software, you should be able to figure out how to do it, having seen it in Aperture and Photoshop.

After years of trying to find a good way to adhere newspaper articles (and believe me, the obvious ways don’t look so hot), I’ve finally found one I love. In fact, I’d say it’s probably the best way. Today’s episode for Paperclipping Members shows you step-by-step how to do it, and what pitfalls to avoid.
Below are the layouts from today’s episode…
On The Table
12×12 Layout
Historic Win
Two-page 12×12 Layout
Historic Win–In the album

On the journal card I placed an article that demonstrates the changes in American perceptions over time.
I printed up the inspiring acceptance speech by President Elect Obama from election night on this 8.5×11 page.

Want to collect the things that your family feels grateful for this month? Today’s Quick Tip is a project that will help you do that–and it works with the Reflections & Gratitude MiniBook I shared in last week’s episode.
Now, I know you are wishing you could watch today’s Quick Tip. =)

This free episode of Paperclipping is for a project based on my personal take on the holiday season–I see the holidays from Halloween to New Year’s Eve as all being related, not as a bunch of individual celebrations. As a result, today’s project is not only a Thanksgiving one, but also precursor to New Year’s Eve. So even if you’re not an American and don’t celebrate an American Thanksgiving, you might benefit from a book like this, too.
As usual, we have a high-quality version of the video that requires a little downloading, but is much better than the video above. We also have show-notes for those who like them. Below are a few pictures of the project:

Today’s video is a Quick Tip for the Premium Subscribers and will help you assemble acrylic minibooks.
If you’ve been around Paperclipping for a long time, you’ve seen parts of this minibook in previous posts and tutorial videos. Below you can see the entire finished book–a compilation of notes and photos of what I was doing almost every hour on February 2nd this year.
