Paperclipping 80 – A Multi-Photo Template

Comments

New to Paperclipping? A few things you should know: This is a great place to learn all scrapbooking techniques (I've posted more than 100 video tutorials). Several are free downloads, and I consistently release new tutorials every month. Others are members-only, available when you become a member. Finally, I recommend you subscribe to my RSS feed, or the newsletter (the form is in the sidebar) to make sure you get new videos as they're released. Thanks for visiting!

Paperclipping 80 - A Multi-Photo Template

If you like the flexible template from episode 73, you’ll love this one for your holiday layouts, which often require lots of photos.

When you’re done watching today’s episode, be sure to see what is in the new Holiday Altered Book Tutorial, if you haven’t already.

This tutorial is for members only.

Below is a view of the layout from today’s episode…

Kansas City Christmas

Journaling reads: This year we had the unusual opportunity to have all the grandkids together (although Chad & Ashley couldn’t make it out). Grandma & Grandpa tried so hard to get a photo with all the grandkids throughout the stay and this picture was another failed attempt–the Martineau twins didn’t make it outside. Christmas with the Buckland’s was so fun! We played at a gymnastics place, had lunch at a dinosaur restaurant with lightening storms and giant dino’s, and did some shopping. At home we were cozy in the beautiful Buckland home.


The following people won Lain Ehmann’s drawing from Paperclipping Live a few weeks ago. Some of you have not yet contacted me. If that’s you, please email me with your full name and address at noell@paperclipping.com. Congratulations!

Paperclipping 76 – Minibook Tags For Stockings

Comments

Paperclipping 76 - Minibook Tags for Stockings

Today’s tutorial is a simple (meaning, easy) project and it meets two different purposes. First, it’s a tag that identifies whose Christmas stocking is whose. Plus, it’s a miniature minibook for your child to enjoy his or her own past Christmas memories.

Watch the video for all of the details and a how-to demonstration.

This tutorial is formembers only.

Below you can see the fronts of the books on the stockings. The inside pages are in the video…

I hung these today while the kids were in school and had so much fun watching each of them look through their own book when they got home. It was especially delightful when Trinity squealed after seeing the first picture of herself with her new doll from a couple years ago.

Lain Ehmann’s New Book, Snippets

Comments

I suppose there is a lot that we scrapbookers do that is worthy of some laughs. My friend, Lain Ehmann, gathered all of her laugh-at-yourself scrapbook-related moments and wrote them into a book called, Snippets. I had her on as a guest on Paperclipping Live tonight and she wants to give away two copies of her book, plus two copies of Simple Scrapbook’s latest special issue, Quick & Easy Photo Album Scrapbooking!

To qualify for Lain’s giveaway, head over to the Snippets Page to get a sampling of some of the stories in her book. Then come back here to this post and tell Lain which story you most identified with, or which one made you laugh the hardest. Lain will give a copy of Snippets or the special issue to four of you.

You have until Thursday night to leave a comment.

You can order Lain’s book at this link–just in time for Christmas. It’s such an affordable gift idea at only $9.99. Learn more about Lain and all the many ways to enjoy her on her website, GetScrapHappy.

Paperclipping 74 QT – Make Your Stamps More Versatile

Comments

Paperclipping 74 QT - Make Your Stamps More Versatile

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?

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:

After The Feast
2-Page 12×12 Layout
Chatting * reminiscing * telling stories * laughing * roasting marshmallows * Kids playing.

The Next Evening
Appetizers at my house * Ashley playing guitar * everyone singing and just being together.

Supplies: Cardstock (Bazzil Basics Paper) * Patterned paper (7 Gypsies, Inque Boutique, My Mind’s Eye?) * Stickers (7 Gypsies, Paper Salon) * Wire * Stamp (Magenta ) * Glitter (Stickles).

What tips do you have for getting more from the stamps you already own? Post an example to your blog or the Paperclipping Gallery and then tell us about it by leaving a comment here. Make sure you post a link to your layout.

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.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Paperclipping 73 – Flexible Templates

Comments

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.

You can watch the video here.

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.

Supplies: Cardstock (Bazzill Basics Paper) * Apoxy sticker (Creative Cafe for Creative Imaginations) * Rub-on’s (Art Warehouse) * Ink (Stampin’ Up) * Other sources unknown (button, ribbon).

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!

If you like this tutorial, you’ll probably like the others too. For access to all the archives, and the other members-only videos, see the Members Information Page.
