Embroidery on a layout tutorial.

-
Of the past few days I've been talking about embroidery on a layout and emdoodling. If you're interested in trying a bit of embroidery on your layouts but don't really know where to start..... I suggest you go to: http://www.crafttvweekly.com/player.html?wid=82 and watch the webisode "I'm in Stitches by Tricia Morris". This is a great tutorial showing several different ways you can achieve either a hand stitched effect to your pages or the illusion of one.

The thing I love about all the webisodes you find on this site (craft TV weekly) is the tutorial nature of the shows. You can easily go away from watching one of these webisodes and reproduce the techniques you learn. I also love the innovative ideas they come up with. Their ideas and designs are not only very practical for scrapbookers but also unusual and definitely original. But my most favourite thing about these webisodes is....... (yep you guessed it......)They're FREE!

Hi Everyone, Well if you've made it this far you know I'm the last blog for you to hop to.... I am the owner of Kith and Kin Stamp Co and I am so grateful to those of you who have played along. Alyce's colour along's are always so informative and full of great info I know you will have learnt lots. We feel very honoured that she has chosen one of our stamps. I love colouring and really only got interested in using copics after I saw Alyce's lovely colouring.... that then got me started on creating my own stamps so I could decide the images I wanted to colour. My colouring is of me... Kyra Mermaid which you can buy in my facebook store  https://www.facebook.com/kithandkinstampco/app_150178545006427 .

50 Ideas to Get Organized and Enjoy Your Scrapbooking Hobby

-
Scrapbooking is a wonderful hobby! Besides being relaxing and fun, it also allows you to be creative and to spend quality time with your family and friends. Plus, it results in a storybook of lifelong memories. One very important element of scrapbooking is getting it all organized. This includes, but is not limited to: storing all of your supplies in an organized fashion so they can be found instantly when you need them. remembering what supplies to pick up at the store, and eliminating duplicate purchases. finding time to research new and creative ways to spruce up your scrapbooks. finding enough time to enjoy the art of scrapbooking in your busy life. TELL A STORY. Plan your photos, before you shoot. Instead of taking random shots of someone standing here, or someone else sitting there, tell a story. For example, let's say it's Halloween.
