Wednesday, August 26th, 2009
Get the Flash Player to see this video.

This week’s episode is for the Paperclipping Members. As you’re sending your kids off to school, hold onto those new clothing tags and back-to-school shopping ads because today’s tutorial should give you some fun ideas of how to incorporate them as story-telling pieces onto your pages.

You can download the Quicktime version of the trailer here.

Below are the layouts I featured in this episode…

Journaling reads: I love that you attached this flower from my scrap supplies to your headband. You’re always so creative that way.

X-Small

Journaling reads: Small from the beginning, we induced your birth 2 weeks early (the doctor wanted it to be 3 weeks) b/c you didn’t seem to be growing in my belly. We wondered if you’d get more nutrition outside of me instead of in. I guess you’re just a little guy regardless of where you are b/c you have continued to be the smallest of your peer groups (your friend, Zoe, is the only exception).

Being little has its benefits. At 6 years I can still hold you. And you love that. You may be a tiny little thing but what is not small about you is your personaltiy, your talents, your total charm. We had no idea when we named you Aiden how appropriate that name would be. Aiden means, “Little Fire,” and yeah…that is definitely YOU, my crazy sweet little guy. X-Small. Love you.

New Prima Items Part 2 @ CHA Summer 2009

Saturday, August 22nd, 2009


Because Prima introduced so much fabulous stuff we had to divide their tour into two videos! In this one you’ll see their pearl and crystal products. Sharon shows how their blingie flourishes are designed to be easy to remove from the backing and placed onto your project. You’ll also see lots of intricate “centers” that you can add to their center-less flowers as well as Prima mini-pebbles.

New Floral Pieces from Prima Introduced @ CHA Summer 2009

Saturday, August 22nd, 2009


Sharon gives a tour of just some of Prima’s many new products this season. We had to separate this tour into two parts and we didn’t even cover everything. In this video you see some of the flowers, leaves, birds, butterflies, vines, branches, sprigs, holiday items, and individual acrylic stamps with crystal bling included for only 95 cents.

Craftwell Introduces the eCraft Personal Cutting System, a New Die Cut Machine, @ CHA Summer 2009

Friday, August 21st, 2009


We see a lot of potential with this new die cut machine, the eCraft by Craftwell. A statement was made in the video that it’s the only machine that can cut through Tim Holtz’s Grunge Paper. We asked the people at Ranger about this and they said any die cut machine can cut through grunge paper. I haven’t had a chance yet to talk again with Craftwell about this (perhaps they meant Grunge Board???) but I wanted to share Ranger’s response here. Regardless, we think this is an amazing cutting system to consider if you’re looking for one.
