“The topic of my altered book project would be crafts. I do so many crafts that capturing my favorites in a book would be a great item to pass along to future generations.”
Wearetheworld: please email me so I can get you set up.

Show Notes:
Are you ready for a month of celebrating three years of Paperclipping? Let’s start with some giveaways…
You’ve waited forever for this and the tutorial is finally available in download-able form (a DVD will be available for purchase very soon). In this special edition Paperclipping tutorial, Dedra Long and I show you how to alter unwanted old hardcover books to make them your own beautiful works of art and another avenue for telling your own stories. See instructions at end of this post on how to win.
You can find out more or order your own by clicking here. If you buy the tutorial and then win it, we will refund your money.
American Crafts contacted me and asked if the Paperclipping audience would get excited about a giveaway package from them. Hello? Ummm, yeah, definitely. I’m a huge fan of American Craft albums. Their D-ring albums are all I’ve used for a number of years when it comes to standard scrapbook albums. Check out all the stuff below that one winner will get from American Crafts…
One winner will get one of each of their 12×12 cardstock packs, a 12×12 D-Ring Chestnut album, and 9 metallic Zing! embossing powders.
I will choose two winners on Wednesday morning from the comments using a random number generator. The first winner will receive the Altered Books Tutorial and the second will win the American Crafts package. To enter, please leave a comment that answers this question: If you were going to make an altered book project, what would the topic of your book be?
Important Note: Because of international laws, you must be at least 18 years of age and be a resident of the United States to qualify.
