DVD Your Scrapbook

This video is an update to my previous video on the Chicago Mini Envelope Scrapbook. It shows a few pages completed in the mini album and contains a tutorial on how to make the small popout. I am still experimenting with the video so please bear with me as I learn videography on-the-fly so to speak. Thank you to everyone who has viewed my first video. I appreciate your constructive comments and encouragement. When life gives you scraps, make something beautiful. Lead a scrapbooking life.

I don’t understand. Of course you want something. In the middle of the summer you get pissed off because your parents refuse to buy something for you. Then ask for it for Christmas! Aye aye aye.

And if you honestly don’t want anything, go buy stuff for the homeless, or work in a soup kitchen, or go read/tutor poor kids or something like that. I’ve done those kind of things, and believe me, the feeling is better than any feeling you get when recieving a gift.

Anddddd here are some ideas if you are stuck. Some of them are for girls because well, I am a girl. Oh well. Sucks for you. (if you are a boy, that is.)
Onward!

-ipod
-itunes gift cards. you can never have enough music
-books, bookstore giftcards. Books are good. read.
-a ringlet curling iron or a straightener. different hairstyles are fun.
-makeup
-green day cd
-puzzles. puzzles are good.
-brain teaser puzzles book. when you bored, you should spend your boredom doing something productive.
-nintendo dsi. that thing is uber fun.
-a camera. cameras are good.
-sims 2 double deluxe. best game ever.
-calvin and hobbes comic books. best comic ever.
-a zebra snuggie. YES. just plain awesome.
-fuzzy socks.
-converse. i love converse.
-an ihome
-target giftcards. i love target.
-victorias secret gift cards. underwear is good. but only good if you choose them.
-glee first season dvd. one of the best shows ever.
-a glitter embossing thing. THAT THING IS SUPER FUN. omg.
-uggs. uggs are soft goodness. or you can go to target with your giftcard and get some good looking fuggs. they are just as good but the fur goes away after like the 2nd time you wear them. real uggs have softness FOREVER. this is a good thing. unless you live in arizona.
-a puppy. puppies are goodness.
-a mardi gras mask. why not?
-abba greatest hits cd.
-a purse and wallet to carry all of your giftcards.
-puffs kleenex with vicks. heaven when you have a runny nose.
-starbucks gift cards. because its too expensive to go out and buy with your own money.
-footy pajamas. warm goodness.
-laptop. coolness.
-a car! yay! A nice little used one. or, if your parents are rich, an environment efficient hybrid.
-donations to charities in your name.
-a brand new super cool cell phone. (recycle your old one, but make sure to get your contacts first, haha)
-a giant stuffed bear/tiger/duck/panda/cat/gopher/mickey mouse/dog/bunny. because you know you’ve always secretly wanted one.
-mall giftcards. clothes are good.
-scrapbooking kit. because scrapbooking is fun. admit it.
-brand new school supplies. why do we have to only get them in the beginning of the school year? enjoy the newness of your school supplies.
-temporary tattoos. because those are AWESOME.
-hot wheels race track sets. the kind where the monster eats you in the middle. very definition of AWESOMENESS.

idk what else. soooooooooooooooo. have fun.

I’ll think about what I want closer to the time…

I recently rec’d a dozen stamps from my aunt who has moved on to something different. I have never incorporated stamping in my scrapbooking. Looking for any tips/techniques. Thanks!

I have used them to create a background on solid color cardstock.
For scrapbooking I like to emboss the image, it seems to show up better.
Try you public library. Mine has several books on stamping, scrapbooking and paper crafts. don’t forget to check the magazine section. You should be able to check out old issues

I have been doing traditional scrapbooking for 9 years. I now want to start digital scrapbooking. The trouble is I have no clue on how to procede. I am also fairly cyber challenged. I do not just need a book for dummies but one for complete idiots. I have a photoshop CS2 program that I am just learning. I also have Corel Paint Shop Pro XI. Can anyone recomend a few books that will take me through each and every little step?

There are tons of good message boards out there that will help you. Scrapgirls is a very good one that comes to mind. They also have online tutorials for some of the software. Check them out! www.scrapgirls.com

I am looking to get some scrapbook things such as punches, stamps, paper, etc. I love to scrapbook but I am just starting it. I am looking for some place that sells paper in bug quantities, ex. 180 sheets in one pack. I also want some punches and things. Anyone know where to get these things at or any ideas?

There is the web site: www.scrapbookingtop50.com and it is full of scrapbooking sources.

Also, if you have a scrapbooking magazine around, look through it and you will see all sorts of supply resources listed in the back as well as all throughout the ads in it.

There is a catalog called Paper Wishes and they have a website that has the catalog available on line as well as a place to request one to come to you in the mail. But they have FREE web videos to watch on-line that are Awesome!!!! The web site is: www.paperwishes.com

Here are a few more supply resources:

www.orientaltrading.com (find their scrapbooking section)
www.keepsakepapercrafts.com
www.TimesTo Cherish.com

The above sites all offer catalogs that sell scrapbooking supplies. You can request a catalog on their sites, as well as view their pages of tips and examples of finished pages!

This should get you on your way…. HAVE FUN!

What is the best computer for Graphic Design, Photography Editing, Games, and Digital scrapbooking? I guess you can say we need a lot of memory. We want to get dual screens, and get one of those splitter things, lol i dont know what the right name is. I know it would be best to get a custom built one, but i am stupid when it comes to building a computer. lol.

Im on a local website that builds computers and i am needing to put in a bunch of things that i would need, but like i said..its all basically in a different language.

Yes, a custom built pc is always the best option. If you’re not going to build it yourself, then i recommend you go down to your local computer store and nose around in there.

(By that i mean a small, possibly family-run store, not one in a large chain of outlets. Chain stores charge you way over the odds and sell you things you wont really need. Go to a smaller store for the fastest, kindest, most honest service) Ask lots of questions.

Never buy a ‘custom built’ pc from the internet. I know many people who have and in my experience theyre more trouble then they are worth, especially in after-sales customer support.

My older sister did it, and now she got me hooked on scrapbooking.

I had went to a wedding expo and there were a couple ladies there with a booth, I don’t remember anymore who they were consultants for but I saw there books and just knew I had to do that with my wedding pictures ……..now look at me 10 years later I have my own store lol
