I’ve posted the layouts from today’s episode below…
Red Boots
12×12 Layout

Journaling written to Aiden: Man, do I love you in those boots! We bought them for our upcoming trip-camping during the Monsoon Season. I never expected you’d want to wear them everyday: rain or shine * shorts or pants * and even to school. You get a lot of attention when you wear them, which probably makes them even more irresistibly cool to you.
**The polka dot and gold patterned papers are quite old scraps from a time when most everything came in a grungy-brown. Until I did this page, whenever I saw that paper, I felt bogged down b/c it’s so dark and heavy. Look how great it looks, though, with vibrant red, yellow-gold, and bright white!
Do you still have a lot of heavy browns from a few years back? Try using it in small amounts with other papers that make you happy.
After The Feast
2-page 12×12 Layout

I love how flexible these templates are. I think next time I’ll try making three panels instead of two. I’m excited to see what some of you do with the template.

We did a couple of episodes last year using Heidi Swapp’s masks. Many of you went out and bought some as a result. Today’s Quick Tip, available to our Paperclipping Members, should invoke another reason to pull those masks out again and put them to use.
Update: I’ve posted the layout from today’s episode below…
95% Vegetarian
2-page 8.5×11 layout

Many of you know that I am decidedly 100% vegetarian and mainly vegan, as well. I made this layout just over a year ago during a short time of transition. Please excuse the rather “enthusiastic” journaling on the subject! =)


If you are Paperclipping Member, you can watch Episode 35, which shows how to do the beaded frames you see above.
Don’t forget: if you’ve been considering a Membership with Paperclipping, you’ve got 5 days left to join in time for our drawing for a free FRED–one of the most fabulous and useful tools in scrapbooking. After March 2, we will draw from our pool of Members and one of you will receive a FRED with a black walnut base. (Winner must be at least 18 years and a U.S. resident).

We’ve released today’s Paperclipping Quick Tip is for Members. If you love glitter, then you’ll love this tip.
Special Announcement
We all know and love FRED. FRED is one of Paperclipping’s two sweethearts (Izzy is the other one). For the month of Valentines, we are giving a FRED to one lucky Paperclipping Member.

Yes, it has been too long since our last release and we appreciate everyone being so patient as we try to fix the websites! We still have some kinks to fix but at least we can release the tutorials once again.
I’m glad to report that the demand for tutorials on design principles is high! That means today’s episode will please many people. It’s all about the scale of embellishments and will help you get a better handle on why some embellishments work better in a space than others.
This video is available to members only. Learn about a membership here.
Cooking With Aiden
Journaling reads: I’m not sure if it’s time with me that you love, or if you’re naturally interested in cooking itself, but it seems to be both. You want to cook with me every time I am doing it. You even started playing host of a pretend cooking show and we always pretend we’re doing the show together. We call it, “Cooking With Aiden,” starring “Mama & Aiden.” It’s fun, but what is so cool is you’re really good at hosting! Love you, dude.
