Keeping cool in Summer and camera trick!

We are forecast for triple digits today and tomorrow This is the time of year when I LIKE looking at our snow photos and scrapbooking them. Some how they make me feel cooler. Just call me crazy!

HINT: if your camera doesn't have a snow setting try moving the F-stop (or exposure adjustment) UP one notch to fool the camera into thinking it is brighter than it actually is thus shortening the exposure time.

Tips & Tricks:

Your left over ribbons fit in our Craft Jars (Z188) which in turn fit in our Z801 Ribbon Round organizer. Making what you have EASY to find!

Celebrate the new Wishes Book

This is a card book from Close to My Heart which features 2 samples of each of the cards with their recipes for recreating them. There is also a template CD included. Here are two of the City Scape cards, one in Animal Cookies and the other featuring the Tinkerin Paper

It "tickled me Pink" to make this card with the May Special Papers! Of course I added our spring buttons, Sweetleaf ribbon and the Dimensional elements Framed Fun finish off this card.

These two layouts feature Paper Garden papers with Silhouette Papers for contrast. Enjoy the Big Pinks flowers for that summery look.

I used level 1 layouts and jazzed them up!

Edging Paper

Are there some times you do NOT want white edges on your paper? There is a simple solution.
Own markers that match your papers (they can be bought individually or in sets and are listed with the inks) Then hold the marker in you hand like a pen turned up towards your face, set the paper on a "table" made of your unused fingers of that hand and set the marker on the paper down at the base of the marker then just pull the marker towards you and edges are G O N E with very little ink on the top side of your paper!!!

June Card Class Pop Up Card

This card folds flat to mail and is so much fun whether it is a children's birthday card, Father's Day Card or party invitation.

Post back to me if you want to learn how to make it!

Here is a 5 x 7 mini album my scrapbooking classes are doing the first week in August. It is one of those fast slice and dice..then add your own embellishments class.

The sentiments come from a Close to My Heart stamp set called Picture Perfect D1363. You can get more details by going to my site: http://legacylady.myctmh.com for more details plus dates and times. Look at the Calendar for August

Can't find the right color Brads?

If you are in a hurry, face budget constraints and what brads in every color use your 1/4" punch and the paper color you want. Adhere the dot to your card or layout then add Liquid Glass over the top of the dot (small amounts and several applications will give a high rounded brad...and no bulk! With the post office charging more for "lumpy envelopes" this is a great cost saving idea.
