Hello Scrappers!  This video project is the first of several videos.  I wanted to make this memory book project with you in real time.  I will list all the materials you will need for this book and give you time in between videos to prepare and gather everything needed.  This will be fun and it really is easy to do.  I will not be listing adhesives, scissors ect...  This is what you will need:

• 3-12x12" white scrap booking paper(card stock will be too heavy)
• 6-12x12" holiday designer double sided card stock
• 24" of coordinating ribbon
• your choice of embellishments

Happy Thanksgiving Card with Matching Envelope-Wild Card Cartridge

Hello Scrappers!  I was flipping through some of my older cartridges, and found a fall card on the Wild Card Cricut Cartridge.  I used some fall colored card stock, and it all came together very quickly.  I hope I have inspired you to dust those older cartridges off, and make some cards!  Thanks for watching and enjoy the video.  Lorraine

Making Candy Corn with George and Basic Shapes

Since none of the cricut cartridges have a candy corn, I decided to design my own. I also have a card I put together using the candy at the end of the video. Thanks for watching and enjoy the video.

Halloween Card using My Cuttlebug

Hello Scrappers!
This card is made using the $2.00 cuttlebug die and embossing folder I purchased from BL.  I think I have around 25 different ones, and thought it was time to start using them.  The name of this set is Halloween.  I love the little owl in the tree and the scarry bats.  I used foam tape to pop the bats and the clouds for some deminsion.  Thanks for visiting!

Adhesives for scrapbooking and card making

These are my favorite adhesives I use on my projects. I have tried several, and these are the ones that I feel are the best. If there is an adhesive that you enjoy using please leave me a message. I love to try new products, and would like to do a review on it.

Thanks,

How to stamp on glossy card stock

Hello scrappers! I am finally posting a video. I have been trying to uplaod this video for days now. For some reason I kept getting an error on youtube. I'm not sure why, but FINALLY I have a neat project to share. I hope it makes up for the long wait.

Stamping on glossy card stock gives your image such a vibrant look. I used chalk ink to add a subtle color for the sky and ground cover. Try cutting part of your image for a 3 dimensional look. There are several new techniques in this video that I think you will enjoy doing. Thanks for visiting, and enjoy the video!
