Whatever program is used for digital scrapbooking, the scrapper is responsible for doing everything. That means sizing, shadowing to writing to texturing, while paper scrappers do not usually have to worry about it. Unfortunately, a lot of details escape the mind of the user and the resulting layout will make one raise eyebrows. Sometimes, we
I have an idea that just might prevent disconnection from my chosen word, an idea that will better align with my needs over the course of a year. I'm going to opt-out of choosing one word.

So here I have this Beautifully embossed white piece of paper that I recently bought at Oh Scrap! in Costa Mesa, CA The little UPC sticker on the back tells me it is handmade paper from Canvas Corp. I believe it. The texture of the embossed flowers and linen look background is exquisite. Now the question is what shall I do with it? It screams to be something feminine but that is not what I am feeling. I wonder if my new grandson Gabriel will forgive me 20 years hence if I use this paper as the basis of a layout about him. I remember holding his not quite 2 year older brother Ezekiel when he was his age and listening to everyone go on about how much he looked his dad, Richard, or how much he looked like his mom, Natashia (my daughter). All the time I thought, “He doesn’t look like either one of them! He looks like Ezekiel!” However, from the first moment I held him and gazed into Gabriel’s perfect little face all I could see is his mother staring right back me when she was the same age. I have some expertise on that subject since I was there when she was born! =D However, I think I'm going to listen to the beat of my heart on this one. I'm going to use it as the background on a layout for my new precious grandson Gabriel who so reminds me of his mother when she was tiny enough to hold in my arms like I hold him now. I’ll post the layout once it is done and you all can tell me what you think…has the MaddScrapper indeed gone off the deep end? Mayra the MaddScrapper

Pinterest is like no other website. It is a wish board, an inspiration board, a dream board, a visual bookmark site, a planning board, a cookbook board, a decorating board, and an idea board, all wrapped up in one visual gallery that you can get lost in for hours about every subject under the sun.

Pretty much all the [url=http://bit.ly/164t6nB]brad templates[/url] on this site follow the same make up. There is a background layer, an "edge" layer (often metal) and then the plastic layer. When using the brad yourself, you can alter any layer, but mostly you'll want to work with the background layer.

Hauling junk to earn money It’s amazing how much money a person can earn doing jobs most people don’t even think of. For example, a scrapper is someone earns money hauling junk. Can you honestly say you’ve thought of being… Continue Reading →

Hello fellow crafters! I don't know how many of you out there are teachers, but I am always looking for opportunities to use my Cricut in the classroom. One of the first things I found on Pinterest a few weeks ago was a cute behavior chart that allowed kids the opportunity to move up when they're having a great day (and not just move down when they're having a bad one) and I loved it!! I took what I found, and made the wording "Pre-k friendly" and added a few visuals using my Cricut. I really love the way it turned out and thought I would share!
