Hi I’ve only just listened ~ have a big splurge to catch up on roundtables after being off line for a while. Am loving the show and especially the wish lists in this episode.

How has Ana got on with fixing up her loft space?… any chance of a follow up program? Especially interested in learning about tips on what to do / not to do when creating a craft space as I’m about to organise myself out of a pizza box stack in the corner of my dining room into a proper dedicated space ~ yippee.

thanks Hannah

Okay, this episode is so fun! I’ve probably said this before, but I just love when you have Ana Cabrera on because I can so relate with her lack of photo storage, her crazy “order” in photo books, and just her crazy style. She makes me laugh out loud all the time! Love it! And the fact that you all have different opinions make this show really enjoyable as well. It rounds out this truly “Round Table.”

Thanks again. I am an avid follower (though I am sometimes behind in the episodes. . . *winking!*)

Hey, guys. I’m so freaked out you read my comment! Thanks and great advice. Ana, I did the messy thing down one side of the page I’d masked off and it worked great. All good advice. But hey Izzy – work on that British accent!!

I just listened to this podcast while on a solo drive for 1.5 hour and I am sure if anyone was looking in the car they would have thought I was nuts at times as I was laughing out loud during most of it and wow, how fast the time flew! : ) I have been listening to this podcast through itunes for quite some time and always enjoy the info how it is presented, especially this time. Keep up the great work!

Noell – solution for your desire for a scrapbooking kitchen island: We love Ikea. Love it. My daughter played in the Ikea land for kids while I strolled around upstairs to try to gather organizing ideas. I wasn’t planning on buying anything at Ikea – my husband has given me long talks about my trips to Target and Ikea and I’m only to pay cash – not credit at these places – ever again. But in the back of my mind was Noell Hyman’s comment on the Paperclipping Roundtable #65 “As You Wish!” and she mentioned that she wished she had a kitchen island (like the one Stacy Julian has) but that she didn’t have the space – and Nancy Nally was talking about how she’s moved out of the scrapbooking room to the kitchen. My kids and I do crafts in the kitchen a lot so its always a major production to bring all the art supplies from the scrapbooking room to the kitchen. I have the $29 SOLUTION thanks to Ikea! Its the Bygel Cart
(here’s the link)
. I’m in the process of stocking it right now – (pictures are up on my blog
) and it fits per
fectly in an empty space next to my scrapbooking counter. It is about counter height and its got wheels! That means I can scrap in the kitchen or the dining room or even by the pool. I am so fantastically excited about this!

You guys are so funny. I just finished listening to the episode and I found my self laughing out loud in the car throughout the whole thing. I can’t tell you how much I love this podcast. I see that someone already mentioned the dry wall tape in place of magic mesh. I still have a huge roll of dry wall tape from the magic mesh days – LOL!!!
Also want to mention that I am a paperclipping member and have been for close to 2 years. It’s a great membership and you get so much value for your money. So thanks again for the laughs and inspiration.

PS – Izzy – because of you I took the Mac plunge!!! I just got a MacBook Pro and I don’t know what took me so long to convert but will never look back…

I will be offering it through my own site. That’s what I’ve always done with
my other courses too, although Stacy J was gracious enough to invite me to
submit a class proposal a few years back. I prefer to just do it myself here
at Paperclipping. :)

Noell -
Thank you for the great response to my question — I will be checking out these resources. I appreciate you taking the time to answer this — as I said I am not a Paperclipping member — would LOVE to be, but just can’t see how right now that fits with my time and equipment. As I said, hopefully in the fall more time will free up when both of my children are in school everyday.

Will you offer your design class through this site or are you planning to team someone like BPC? Looking forward to hearing more about this and thank you again!

Hi, Heather!

Cathy definitely is all about design. Her way of teaching it is very similar
to what you got in the Ella e-book I think. I actually have never found
anything that goes extremely deep in scrapbooking, or even in very general
design terms. That is why I decided to make it the focus of Paperclipping.
I’ve had to study a lot of different unrelated specialties to get a deep
understanding of it.

My design course, which I’ll be giving to the members, will be mostly text
with layout examples. It will have some of my Member’s Videos mixed in but
it’s more text than video. I’m pretty sure I’ll sell it separately from the
membership, but I’m not 100% positive until we actually make it available.

There are two others that I’ve just thought of that go pretty deep into
design — Debbie Hodge in her Building Pages class (which is like a giant
e-book with a few videos), and also Dina Wakley’s Art Journaling 103 class.
She teaches composition through art, not scrapbooking, but it all applies.
You just need to translate it. If you’ll go to Get It Scrapped through our
affiliate link in this blog post you can look for both of these classes over
there.

I love both of these classes for the very reason that they go more in-depth
than the other very basic approaches to design you typically see in
scrapbooking.

I hope one of these three options will work for you!

I need the bank tube from the sky to also go to the grocery for me — that would be awesome.

First off — Ana crack me up– just love her!

Design question — I love the design free video you can get from Paperclipping — now I know what you will say, “if you like that, you should subscribe and see the rest” but the problem is that I am looking for design education in print versus digital form (we only have one computer for the family and not feasible for me to spend time watching videos– barely have time to read email and post to my blog now and then). I really like in the video how you teach about the lines of design — do you know of a good book or internet articles that teach such principles? I have the Ella Publishing e-book (like that because I can print it out) but wish it went deeper. I know Cathy Z has a couple books, but can’t look inside online and did not know if they teach design principles — not looking for just pages of layouts or sketches or page maps — I need to teach myself to rethink in design — I think this will help when I go to start my pages. In the fall when my kiddos are both in school I may be able to carve out computer time to pursue online classes or tutorials, but looking for something to tide me over until then! Would appreicate any suggestions! Thanks – Heather

I guess the mesh isn’t as ‘out’ as we may have thought. I use it too and have had a roll of drywall mesh tape for years that doesn’t seem to end. Love it for masking and just as it is. I love the look of just a little snip under an embellishment grouping. Also looks great on beachy pages.

Nancy – you aren’t the only one to move from a dedicated space to the family room. I used to scrap up in my bedroom but realized during the ‘trial’ that I MUCH prefer being in the middle of it all and able to chat, cook dinner, supervise home schooling, watch tv/console gaming with everyone than being elsewhere.

My space is now a tiny but beautifully formed (and mostly built by my Wookie) divider between the dining and living room ends of our downstairs room. I work on a kitchen island/trolley – so Noelle’s comment made me laugh. That has enough room on top for my cutting mat, a basket of ‘things to be used next’, my lamp, a few favourite tools/ink pads and a random pile of bits.

One other small kitchen trolley holds my Bigshot, various dies, Krafters Purse with essentials, Wookie built me some storage to fit between the dining room cabinets and the couch plus I have storage in one cupboard in the dining room beside this. Not much bit it is mine and it means that everyone see my creations as they are completed and admired.

Does take work finding things that are cute enough to be on display to everyone walking into our room and yes I do have to tidy up whenever I finish but I love it.
