Scrapbook Video Tutorial 10-16-09

Hello Scrapbookers!

Every layout I design is special to me but the layout today is extra special because of the photograph. The photograph is of my daughter Hailey several months ago. I can't help but smile and stare at it. The essence captured is so pure and genuine. Looking at it just brightens up my day. I will be keeping this one on my display wall for a long time.

Today's layout features designer paper: BasicGrey - Sultry collection, Infuse collection; Porcelain collection, Gypsy & Cricut Expression(Provo Craft) - Gypsy font cartridge; Keystone font cartridge, Crystal Stickers - Pearls, Close to My Heart - Waxy Flax; Brads, Embossing Powder: American Crafts Zing - blush, Creative Imaginations - Flower brad. 

This week's tutorial also shows how to use the gypsy to cut your design. Enjoy!

FREE SVG Monday: Creepy Crawly Spider

Hello Scrapbookers!

I know I did some Halloween designs a while back but I was designing some Halloween items for my son's class party and decided to design this spider for this week's free SVG.  This SVG is all connected but you can just snip the line that connects the spider to the web if you would like it separated. And of course googly eyes are awesome for the spider. This would look great on a card or a scrapbook page. Enjoy!

FREE SVG Monday: Glasses

Hello Scrapbookers!

A while back I wanted to add some glasses to a layout I was doing. I looked everywhere but could not find something that I liked so I designed my own. This is a modified version of the one I originally created. This would be great for an eye exam layout or just to show off the latest trend of the nerd glasses. The sky is the limit! Let your imagination soar and create something special.
