Workflow Wednesday: Photograph Your Scrapbook Pages and Save For Web
I am asked all the time about how I photograph my scrapbook pages and what makes them so crisp and bright. I'm excited to finally bring this tutorial to you. I'm basically, just going to show you my workflow. I like quick and simple so don't worry, it's super easy and I hope it helps just a little bit on answering your questions.
Mixed Media Tutorial: 4 Step Gelli Plate Intro

I'm super excited to share with you some tutorials using one of my favorite tools, the Gelli Plate. I use it a lot and I can't believe I haven't shared it with you yet. It is definitely in my top ten tools for mixed media art. I have the 6"x6" one, but really want all of them, there is just so much you can do with both the little ones and the larger ones. I also think the circle one is really cool too.
Today I'm going to show how I prep my papers and then a base print with the Gelli Plate. This is going to be a series because there is just so much you can do with it. Have I told you how much I love this tool?!

Art Journal Bible: Testing Journaling Pen Inks
I was so excited about these new favorite pens from Uni-Ball! I decided to test them out. I wanted to see if they would bleed or not and which pens were best for underlining and doodling and journaling in my Bible.
Workflow Wednesday Silhouette Tutorial creating print and cut elements using cut files
Last week, I shared my favorite weekly pocket scrapbooking tutorial, the print and cut feature on the Silhouette Portrait. I had used digital elements from The Lilypad, and a few of you asked if I could do a print and cut tutorial using cut files from the Silhouette online store. I thought it was a brilliant idea and I'm excited to share how to create your own elements using cut files from the Silhouette Online Store.
Workflow Wednesday: Silhouette Software Introduction and Freebies
I'm excited to start a new part of this workflow series and this month I will be sharing tutorials for using the Silhouette die cutting machine and software. I love this machine, it can do so much and has saved me a lot of time and sore fingers the past 1-1/2 years.
It's definitely a luxury but it's been an investment I really don't regret even a tiny bit. I'm really looking forward to sharing a few simple tutorials on how I use my Silhouette Portrait in my weekly pocket scrapbook album.

Workflow Wednesday: Additional Essential Tools For Pocket Scrapbooking
This month and throughout this workflow series, I've been sharing many of my favorite tools for pocket scrapbooking. Today I'll be focusing on the most essential tools for my workflow.
Fiskars SureCut Paper Trimmer: I LOVE LOVE LOVE the wire guide so you can line up and see exactly where you are cutting. It makes cutting out the hybrid journal cards soooo easy and I've never had a problem with it!
Scotch ATG Advanced Tape Glider: This thing is THE BEST!!! I've tried sooo many tape runners and they all gum up or have issues or the adhesive isn't sticky enough (especially for paper projects, not really an issue for pocket scrapbooking). The adhesive in these hold super strong and it glides so nicely! I just adore it to pieces! A definitely must have for any paper crafter! It's HUGE as you can see, LOL!
Tombow Dot Adhesive Stamp Runner: This is my fave for intricate objects like wood veneer and intricate die cuts. Instead of a line of tape, it's tiny little dots which stick to the element and isn't sticking out like line tape does. I really love the shape of this one too. I haven't had any problems with gumming or getting stuck like I've had with other dot adhesive runners I've tried.
Tim Holtz Idea-ology Tiny Attacher: I just LOVE this thing, it goes everywhere with me and the tiny little staples are so cute! My most favorite stapler! Isn't it adorable?! I love everything about it. I love the size and the grip and I've never had any problems with it! It's another MUST-HAVE for any paper crafter!
