Many of you have been waiting (and waiting…) for the DVD version of the Altered Books Tutorial to release. In case you didn’t read about it in my newsletter, I wanted to announce here on the blog that the DVD is finally available for purchase. You can order your DVD by clicking here.
If you want more information on this tutorial and how to get the download-able version instead, please follow this link.
Who wants one? These babies are worth $299 and I’m excited to give one away along with a “From My Kitchen” Cartridge as we continue to celebrate Paperclipping’s 3rd birthday. If you have a Cricut or plan to get one, please feel free to enter yourself in the giveaway by answering the question below.
Note: You must be at least 18 yrs or older and be a resident of the United States.
Question: What is one Paperclipping tutorial you found most helpful and why?
Are you here for the first time? Instead of answering the question above, just let me know that you’re a newcomer and tell me what type of tutorial you would love to see! You have until Tuesday at midnight to enter your comment. I will announce the winner on Wednesday. Good luck!
Today’s episode, for the Paperclipping Members, is a fun way to use up your extra three-dimensional flowers to make some really cool ornaments (or embellishments if you choose to scrap with them instead!).
This is part of a four-part series. Part 1 and Part 3 are free and don’t require membership to watch. If you’re not a member, you can click on the window above to get a preview of this tutorial. You could also watch the Quicktime version of the trailer here. And of course, there are several free videos which we have available in the left-hand column.

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.
