What's Up Thursday

Exciting news to share today! Graphic 45 and Echo Park are teaming up! Graphic 45 is designing a new collection for Echo Park, which is set to be released in May. If you want to join in the fun, head over to Graphic 45's Facebook page, and enter for your chance to win some fabulous goodies. While you're at it, head over to the Echo Park page and do the same thing! 4 lucky winners will be drawn on the 8th. Hurry and get your entries in!

Read this article carefully and bookmark it for future reference! I will definitely do it! There's some fantastic tips for getting fabulous pictures and descriptions of what the different terms means, such as apertures, ISO (which is one that always had me stumped), and the different settings to use when (such as portrait mode, night time, sports and actions shots, etc). Very useful information and very good to know! Thanks, Paper Crafts!

Pom Poms are pretty hot right now. Like the way they look? Want to decorate your space using them, or have an event coming up that pom poms would be perfect for? FaveCrafts has a tutorial up on their blog today, showing you how to make them! Uber cool!

That's all I've got for now. Pretty quiet around here today. Must be coming up on the weekend or something!

Wednesday What's Up

Oh, there's some really cool things to share with you again today. I came across a really neat rain drop technique that is going to have to show up on one of my layouts one of these days. This technique obviously will be awesome for rainy day layouts, snowy day layouts (just change the droplets for snowflakes) or alligator tear drop layouts.

If you're big into sewing, and enjoy using sewing in your layouts, then this will be right up your alley. Stitch directly on your layout, and adhere brads at the end of the stitching to create rain falling from the sky. You can find the particular layout I'm referring to here.

Want to win a prize worth $130? A company called the Plaid Barn, is giving away 73 rolls of Washi Tape to one lucky entrant. Get your entry in. You don't want to miss out on such a fabulous opportunity!!

There is a lot of inspiration out there. All you need to do is look around you. There are also a lot of talented crafters and artists out there. One of my favorite blogs to follow is Kelly Fosters' All The Pretty Things. She shares a step-by-step tutorial today guiding you through how she makes her layouts. I love her style, though its too much work for me! Have a look- her work is gorgeous!

Calling all digi scrappers- Echo Park and Carta Bella have another One Buck Wednesday happening today, which means some of their digi kits are on sale for $1! Head over to their blogs to get all the deets!

Looking for a unique way to use up your scrap papers? Why not adhere them to a sheet of plain white card stock, run them through your die cut machine, and attach them as embellishments to your cards, layouts, or altered items? This is such a neat idea- head over to the Paper Crafts blog to see how Teri Anderson does it!

Love the look of the sunburst technique, but have a hard time wrapping your brain around how to do it, like me? Then you'll want to save this download for future use! Once again, Paper Crafts to the rescue!

And, one last item I forgot to post to yesterday's What's Up: Create your very own band aid box! Head over here for the tutorial. (You'll need to search for the February 17, 2011 blog post, or scroll down until you find it). She's also got some amazing cards on her blog, too. Browse through it- they're incredible!

I found a new sketch tonight, and boy does it look awesome!!!! I can hardly wait to jump into this one! Unfortunately, I have a design team assignment that's due first, but once that's out of the way, watch out new sketch, cause here I come! You'll find it at Erin's blog here.

And, even though this project isn't scrapbooking related, I wanted to share it anyways. I know there's lots of mama's out there, and aunties, and this would make a perfect gift or toy for our kids to play with. Head over to FaveCrafts and have a look at this neat felt book!

Not much else to share tonight. Alls quiet on the home front. Happy Wednesday evening. The week is half over!

On a totally unrelated note, FINDING.DORY.

Need I say more?????????!!!!!!!!
