Watching Videos: A Great Way to Learn
You can learn a lot from a book, magazine, or blog, but they’re not the best way to learn an artful craft. It’s best to see the process in action. Noell clearly shows how to do things in a down-to-earth manner.
Art classes and conferences cost hundreds of dollars. Many times you have to travel to them, and you can’t watch them over and over again like you can this video tutorial. It is the very best way to learn book-altering in your spare time, at your own pace, whenever and wherever you want.
How this will benefit you

“Paperclipping tutorials are by far the best produced, highest quality scrapbooking how-to videos on the Internet. Every time I watch Noell, I learn something new — and I’ve been doing this for over a decade!”

“I confess. I’m hooked on Paperclipping tutorials! But, it’s not my fault. The shows are full of great design tips, cool techniques, and ideas for enhancing my own creative process. Likewise, episodes consistently showcase novel uses of materials like glitter, wire, paint, and transparencies (to name a few). Then, there is Noell, our host. She is upbeat, energetic, and full of encouragement, making each episode fun as well as informative. Finally, the video itself is top-notch. Each episode is professionally constructed, easy to follow, and beautiful to watch. Truly, I was doomed from the beginning!
