Today’s episode is for the Paperclipping Members. If you want to commemorate the culture of a place you’ve visited or plan to visit, you might want to consider the topic of this episode: create a book with an authentic item that portrays the place and culture. Below are a few pictures of my own book, which I made to showcase photos and items from Rocky Point, Mexico…

Paperclipping 106 – Mix Your Own Paint Colors
Thursday, May 28th, 2009Get the Flash Player to see this video.
Here is the free trailer for today’s episode of Paperclipping for our Members. This episode is all about color and how to mix your own colors from acrylic paint using just a handful of base hues. Even if you’re not into paint, this episode should help you with color in general. One thing to note is that video is not able to pick up the subtleties of color that our eyes see, so you’ll have to rely more on what I explain than what you can see in the video during some of the color mixing portions.
If you’re not a Member, please visit the Membership Information Page to find out how you can get access to this video plus over 100 videos in the archives.

Paperclipping 93 – Moving Panel Template
Thursday, February 26th, 2009This video is available to members only. Learn about a membership here.
I’ve posted the layouts from today’s episode below…
Red Boots
12×12 Layout
Journaling written to Aiden: Man, do I love you in those boots! We bought them for our upcoming trip-camping during the Monsoon Season. I never expected you’d want to wear them everyday: rain or shine * shorts or pants * and even to school. You get a lot of attention when you wear them, which probably makes them even more irresistibly cool to you.
**The polka dot and gold patterned papers are quite old scraps from a time when most everything came in a grungy-brown. Until I did this page, whenever I saw that paper, I felt bogged down b/c it’s so dark and heavy. Look how great it looks, though, with vibrant red, yellow-gold, and bright white!
Do you still have a lot of heavy browns from a few years back? Try using it in small amounts with other papers that make you happy.
After The Feast
2-page 12×12 Layout
I love how flexible these templates are. I think next time I’ll try making three panels instead of two. I’m excited to see what some of you do with the template.

Paperclipping 62 – Make Your Items Work Together
Monday, October 20th, 2008
This episode, for the Premium Subscribers, ends the series on color and will give you some ideas on how you can make unlikely items work together for you. Below is the final layout from the episode…
Somebody Come & Play
12×12 layout
The journaling reads:
A regular day-to-day activity for Erin and I growing up was to write and perform our own plays. She was the dominant writer, I was the dominant dancer. We were both singers and actors. She was usually the director and I was often the star.
This photo is from a show she wrote called, Somebody Come and Play.” We gathered neighborhood friends to take some parts. I played the lead and sang a song from Sesame Street with the same title as our show. We invited neighborhood parents and charged for tickets. Erin dressed up in her most directorly attire. The House For Sale sign was a prop that she made.
These childhood games were formative in my love for theatre, which dominated my spare time and passions through high school and into college.

Papercliping 61 QT – The Color Black
Wednesday, October 15th, 2008
I hope you enjoy the second Quick Tip in the current series on color. Below is the layout I showed from today’s tip for the Premium Subscribers…
A Minute Before
12×12 Layout
The picture on this layout is of Trinity and her brothers, just outside the dentist’s office after an appointment. The journaling to my daughter reads:
I snapped this shot with my phone just before you had a seizure. I missed the warning signs: you weren’t skipping rocks with the boys. You complained of feeling hot and wanted to go home. I said that was fine, looked down to grab my stuff, and when I looked up again, you were on the ground in a bizarre position. You had fallen down and scraped the shoulder on which you landed. You also scraped your elbow and your knee, but your shoulder? That’s not a normal way to fall.
I still didn’t get that you had had an aura and were in the middle of a seizure. I asked why you fell. You said you weren’t able to control your body. I thought you were reacting to the anesthesia. I helped you up. We went back to the dentist office where you had just gotten three cavities filled.
That’s when you fell again. You were standing right next to me, my arm around you, and you dropped straight down. I grabbed you, saw your eyes–those glazed over hollow eyes–and knew you weren’t totally with me now. That’s when I recognized it for what it was. You still have Epilepsy.
We thought you had grown out of it. One and a half years seizure free is a good amount of time and we were looking forward to taking you off your medication in October. I guess that won’t be happening now. Not this year, anyway.
Supplies: Patterned paper (Basic Grey) * Cardstock (Bazzill) * Glitter (Stickles) * Bling (Me & My Big Ideas) * Transparent journal block (Hambly) * Sticker (Creative Imaginations) * Acrylic Stamp (Autumn Leaves) * Ink (Staz On) * Rub-on word “minute” (Art Warehouse) * Beads.
