Supplies needed: <br />
#71 Platinum (or any color) All-Purposte Ink for Fantastix from Stampin' Up! <br />
high alcohol content hand sanitizer <br />
travel spritz bottle <br />
toothpick <br />
<br />
How to... <br />
1. Fill spritz bottle 3/4 full with hand sanitizer. <br />
2. Finishing filling bottle with H20. (Do not overfill.) <br />
3. Using toothpick (being careful NOT TO TOUCH acohol/H20 with toothpick,) drip several drops of Platinum ink into spritz bottle. As each drop drips into spritz bottle, clean toothpick by scrapping excess ink onto the spritz bottle's opening edge. <br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">TIP TIP TIP<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Most scrapbooking experts will encourage you<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">to USE YOUR OWN HANDWRITING.<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">To speed up my scrapbooking process<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">and finish as many pages as possible,<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I will use my own handwriting,<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">not only in my journaling, but in my title as well.<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">*<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Here's a tip for you if you don't like your handwriting...<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">when scrapbooking with a friend,<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">ask her (or him) to write something for you<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">(as long as you admire their handwriting, that is.)<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Provided you don't ask them to write a novel,<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I am sure they would be<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">more than happy to push your pen!<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">*<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Uti5sqsaH3c/S0EOTaRMQCI/AAAAAAAAEkc/ra-1y6Amovg/s1600-h/100_6602.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" ps="true" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Uti5sqsaH3c/S0EOTaRMQCI/AAAAAAAAEkc/ra-1y6Amovg/s320/100_6602.jpg" /></a><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">TIP TIP TIP<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Squeeze it in!<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Most scrapbook pages I see online<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">or in scrapbook magazines/idea books<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">always seem to sport only one photo.<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Are you kidding?!<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I have so many photos I want to cherish<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">and so many memories I want to keep.<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I would have a gazillion albums<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">if all of my pages had only one photo on them!<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">*<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Trim and tilt one or two photos<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">to "squeeze them in" and onto your page.<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">You can see I've done this to both pages above and below.<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">This will actually add dimention to your page.<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">It's fun too!<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">TIP TIP TIP<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Most scrapbookers already know this tip<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">but I believe it's well worth repeating.<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Use up those sticker letters!<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I love the sheets of BIG sticker letters<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">but most of the time there is only one of each letter.<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">You can trim most any letter to create<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">the letter you need for your title.<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Notice below how I trimmed a "C"<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">to create my "U" in the word "FuN."<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">*<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">By utilizing skeleton sketches (black & white layouts,)<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I can use one sketch and "flip it" four times<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">to create four different pages and looks.<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Talk about speedy scrapbooking!<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">*<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Notice how these two pages are pretty much the same.<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">The page above has two photos at the top<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">while the page below has two photos at the bottom.<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">The single photo above verticle with the page<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">while the photo below is horizontal.<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">The journaling block above is coming from the single photo<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">while the block below is coming from the two photos.<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Otherwise, everything is the same.<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">TIP TIP TIP<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">USE THAT DECORATIVE PAPER!<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Many decorative papers can be used for<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">many different themes and photos.<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Take a look at this decorative paper.<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">It's neither masculine nor femanine.<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">The colors work well for just about any theme.<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Even if your photos are not from the same event,<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">the same decorative paper can be used for<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">several pages continuously and still look very nice.<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">When I use the same paper on several pages,<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">my work area stays cleaner longer<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">which allows me to work more efficiently and quickly.<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">*<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Notice how the adorable little cards<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">just tuck right into the pockets.<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">How cute is that?!<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">*<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">This photo pocket card was created with<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">just ONE sheet of 12x12 patterned paper.<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">TIP TIP TIP<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I love using CHIPBOARD LETTERS on my titles!<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">These are so inexpensive and easy to apply.<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">However, some of them can be rather large<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">so fitting an entire title of big chipboard letters<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">into one title would overwhelm my photos.<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I like to use only ONE chipboard letter to begin my title.<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">The other letters in my title can be created with<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">stamps, stickers, or diecuts (as I've used here.)<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">*<br />

</div><div align="center">TIP TIP TIP<br />
</div><div align="center">Stumped on embellishments?<br />
</div><div align="center">Slap on a sticker or two!<br />
</div><div align="center">I don't always match every single aspect of my page.<br />
</div><div align="center">As you can see here, these stickers<br />
</div><div align="center">don't coordinate perfectly with the other page elements.<br />
</div><div align="center">That's okay. The little orange fish pops and looks adorable!<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">*<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I've created this fun little "pop-out box"<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">that will explode when he opens it.<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">along with some of his favorite sweets!<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">(I know... very appropriate, huh?!)<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">and place a couple of them on top of the little card.<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">TIP TIP TIP<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Along with one of last week's tips<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">about using STICKER LETTERS<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">to speed up the scrapbooking process,<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">this week's tip is about sticker letters as well.<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">*<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">What to do with all of those left over letters?<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">COMBINE THEM.<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Create a title using two to three different colors<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">(and yes, even two to three different styles)<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">of sticker letters.<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">*<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Uti5sqsaH3c/S0EEO91nIkI/AAAAAAAAEjM/GFjtBnafqOs/s1600-h/100_6586.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" ps="true" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Uti5sqsaH3c/S0EEO91nIkI/AAAAAAAAEjM/GFjtBnafqOs/s320/100_6586.jpg" /></a><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">It seems I've been having to make<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">so many sympathy cards lately.<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I thought I'd take a break from<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">the usual "lovely" floral design I usually create<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">and try a more cheerful look.<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">*<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Here is wishing you and yours a "cheerful" day!<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">TIP TIP TIP<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">You ready for this one...<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">DO NOT BE CREATIVE!<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Yes, I can hardly believe those words came from my mouth.<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">If you know me personally,<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">you know this is not something I would usually encourage.<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Hear me out on this one. he he he.<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">There are so many amazing designers around!<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Let them create for you!<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">COPY COPY COPY!<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">*<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Sometimes I will create from a skeleton sketch<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">(such as the ones you see on Triple the Sketch or Page Maps)<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">and sometimes I will create from a finished page of someone else's.<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">My paper and embellishments can be completely different.<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">My placement of those items can be exactly the same.<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I get so many pages completed using this tip!<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> *<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Uti5sqsaH3c/S0D_x5is0OI/AAAAAAAAEik/l9gj9djYJA8/s1600-h/100_6583.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" ps="true" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Uti5sqsaH3c/S0D_x5is0OI/AAAAAAAAEik/l9gj9djYJA8/s320/100_6583.jpg" /></a><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">*<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Uti5sqsaH3c/S0D_42kYNJI/AAAAAAAAEi0/_o8vtLNYR4Y/s1600-h/100_6597.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" ps="true" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Uti5sqsaH3c/S0D_42kYNJI/AAAAAAAAEi0/_o8vtLNYR4Y/s320/100_6597.jpg" /></a><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">TIP TIP TIP<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">"Stick to it!"<br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Using sheets of sticker letters really speeds<br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">up my scrapbooking process.<br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I actually prefer to STAMP my titles because<br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I can create a much more eye-catching title with stamps.<br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">However, since I have SO MANY photos<br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I'd like to have in albums and<br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">very little time to get them there,<br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I need super fast techniques to speed the process.<br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">*<br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">When I am scrapbooking multiple pages at one time,<br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I will use the same sticker sheet on many of my pages<br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">(especially if the theme is the same.)<br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">This may seem a bit boring to some scrapbookers<br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">but again, I'm going for speed.<br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">And let's face it, when my family members<br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">are looking at my albums long after I am gone...<br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">the great great grandkids aren't going to notice<br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">that Granny used a certain lettering system over and over.<br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">he he he.<br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"> *<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">In 2010, I plan on scrapbooking much more than I use to.<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I LOVE scrapbooking!<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">It is such a fun way to remember!<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I've also decided to share some scrapbooking tips<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">with you, my friends/readers.<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Not that I am an expert on scrapbooking by any means...<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">these are tips that encourage me to preserve memories<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">in a way that enrich not only the lives of my own family members<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">but of those I know and love as well.<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">How can I resist sharing with YOU?!<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">*<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Uti5sqsaH3c/S0D7KY235GI/AAAAAAAAEiM/dDEZKzBuAPw/s1600-h/100_6581.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" ps="true" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Uti5sqsaH3c/S0D7KY235GI/AAAAAAAAEiM/dDEZKzBuAPw/s320/100_6581.jpg" /></a><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">TIP TIP TIP<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Top loading albums are my favorite ablums to use<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">when I preserve photos into a scrapbook.<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">These albums give you the chance to "go back"<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">and add, take away, or rearrange pages if you need to.<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">*<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I have created scrapbook pages within hinged albums<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">only to end up finding a few photos that were misplaced<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">or were chronologically out of order.<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">*<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Top loading albums make my scrapbooking<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">chronologically easy to stay "on track" with scrapbooking.<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Hinged albums are very nice.<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I personally prefer top loading albums<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">due to the reasons stated above.<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Uti5sqsaH3c/S0D7HUNqg-I/AAAAAAAAEiE/VHsQe1D_KBw/s1600-h/100_6576.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" ps="true" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Uti5sqsaH3c/S0D7HUNqg-I/AAAAAAAAEiE/VHsQe1D_KBw/s320/100_6576.jpg" /></a><br />
</div><div align="center">TIP TIP TIP<br />
</div><div align="center">I can save money and card stock by utilizing<br />
</div><div align="center">BOTH SIDES of my scrapbook page.<br />
</div><div align="center">Notice the base of these three pages is<br />
</div><div align="center">a bright orange card stock.<br />
</div><div align="center">My first page (titled "fun and games") is actually<br />
</div><div align="center">the reverse side of my second page (untitled.)<br />
</div><div align="center">NOTE...<br />
</div><div align="center">This technique can only be performed<br />
</div><div align="center">when my pictures are in chronological order<br />
</div><div align="center">and I know for sure I have no other pictures to add within the<br />
</div><div align="center">time frame of the pictures I am working with at the time.<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">for my 2010 scrapbook page!<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I used an MOSD intricacy sheet & stick ons<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">to make my page lively and fun<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">(which is exactly how the celebration went!)<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">One of my favorite traditions about the Christmas holiday season<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">is all of the yummy yummy family recipes!<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I decided to create a little mini album full of all of our favorites.<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">*<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I used the Mini Flip Cover 2 Cover acrylic album from <br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">MOSD.<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">(Psst... Lavender Sentiments lovers...<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">talk to Lana about getting some MOSD goodness in the store.)<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">*<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Uti5sqsaH3c/SyBVnAKzQSI/AAAAAAAAEas/dpoLSE8zBHI/s1600-h/recipe+3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" ps="true" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Uti5sqsaH3c/SyBVnAKzQSI/AAAAAAAAEas/dpoLSE8zBHI/s320/recipe+3.jpg" /></a><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">As you can see, the front and back covers are acrylic pieces.<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I love how my the fun colors and patterns of my pages<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">show through the acrylic panels!<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">The pages of the album come in thin but sturdy card board.<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">*<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhRU5FuuvwrgI7xqee7siF2fvPwINEIpwIxFCIdgTGTxjHr7ggdno4fyfAJ-Oj3YAyg4MZdOUyxOKFF6qRhCbIhP88TTF9pQoBkyLb4oyFhdx2pfa2q0gmBppZSW9YChWUfrSxbXDt1Ua_L/s1600-h/recipe+4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" ps="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhRU5FuuvwrgI7xqee7siF2fvPwINEIpwIxFCIdgTGTxjHr7ggdno4fyfAJ-Oj3YAyg4MZdOUyxOKFF6qRhCbIhP88TTF9pQoBkyLb4oyFhdx2pfa2q0gmBppZSW9YChWUfrSxbXDt1Ua_L/s320/recipe+4.jpg" /></a><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Covering each page was a cinch!<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I cut my patterned paper to measure<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">the same width as my album page.<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Then I cut it the length I wanted it so that it would<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">fold up without getting in the way of my three punched holes.<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">*<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Uti5sqsaH3c/SyBVqd4tk-I/AAAAAAAAEa8/SN1OOvNrDAc/s1600-h/recipe+5.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" ps="true" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Uti5sqsaH3c/SyBVqd4tk-I/AAAAAAAAEa8/SN1OOvNrDAc/s320/recipe+5.jpg" /></a><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">The little inside piece that holds my recipe<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">measures a perfect square so I can easily fold it in half.<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">*<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Uti5sqsaH3c/SyBVsz_PlVI/AAAAAAAAEbE/f3RxdqWaPnA/s1600-h/recipe+6.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" ps="true" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Uti5sqsaH3c/SyBVsz_PlVI/AAAAAAAAEbE/f3RxdqWaPnA/s320/recipe+6.jpg" /></a><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I used my Stampin' Up! punches to decorate my tags.<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">*<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Uti5sqsaH3c/SyBVuUN9jXI/AAAAAAAAEbM/iAt6lRrSKL8/s1600-h/recipe+7.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" ps="true" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Uti5sqsaH3c/SyBVuUN9jXI/AAAAAAAAEbM/iAt6lRrSKL8/s320/recipe+7.jpg" /></a><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I tried to keep the majority of my recipe on the<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">inside portion of my tiny card stock.<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I wanted the outside to be saved for some<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">fun fact about the recipe.<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">*<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Uti5sqsaH3c/SyBVwIQl92I/AAAAAAAAEbU/I_U7xJPtOjY/s1600-h/recipe+8.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" ps="true" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Uti5sqsaH3c/SyBVwIQl92I/AAAAAAAAEbU/I_U7xJPtOjY/s320/recipe+8.jpg" /></a><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I used regular paper clips embellished with some<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">lovely Stampin' Up! gingham ribbon.<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">*<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Uti5sqsaH3c/SyBVzLRRIeI/AAAAAAAAEbk/BpRx2_GURT4/s1600-h/recipe+10.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" ps="true" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Uti5sqsaH3c/SyBVzLRRIeI/AAAAAAAAEbk/BpRx2_GURT4/s320/recipe+10.jpg" /></a><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">The Mini Flip album by MOSD<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">comes with the three holes punched and black rings.<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I switched out the black rings for some red ones.<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Festive, yes?!<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">*<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Uti5sqsaH3c/SyBV0WozmLI/AAAAAAAAEbs/TfuUodDuT_U/s1600-h/recipe+11.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" ps="true" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Uti5sqsaH3c/SyBV0WozmLI/AAAAAAAAEbs/TfuUodDuT_U/s320/recipe+11.jpg" /></a><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Once I trimmed my patterned paper to size,<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I adhered it to the album page<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">and trimmed the excess so my corners were rounded.<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">*<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Uti5sqsaH3c/SyBV2IUzUCI/AAAAAAAAEb0/SOhn91WpQ8E/s1600-h/recipe+12.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" ps="true" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Uti5sqsaH3c/SyBV2IUzUCI/AAAAAAAAEb0/SOhn91WpQ8E/s320/recipe+12.jpg" /></a><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I used my own handwriting but<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">you could always use a computer font if you prefer.<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I personally love handwritten recipes.<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Those are ones that are usually "tried and true"<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">so you know they are going to be oh-so-yummy.<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Not to mention, I enjoy how seeing people's handwriting<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">makes our memories recall that very person.<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Isn't it true?<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">When you see your mother's handwriting,<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">don't you immediately think of her?<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Or when you see your best friend's handwriting,<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">aren't you flooded with cherished memories?<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I love that!<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">* <br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Uti5sqsaH3c/SyBV4KLCGDI/AAAAAAAAEb8/1LQ6ajYwl8Y/s1600-h/recipe+13.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" ps="true" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Uti5sqsaH3c/SyBV4KLCGDI/AAAAAAAAEb8/1LQ6ajYwl8Y/s320/recipe+13.jpg" /></a><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I sponged my tags as well as my recipe cards<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> to coordinate with this fun and yummy patterned paper.<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Creamy Carmel was my ink of choice for this task.<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">It always gives such a warm and lovely "warn" look.<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">*<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Uti5sqsaH3c/SyBV572aNEI/AAAAAAAAEcE/JCgOK6Ad1QY/s1600-h/recipe+14.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" ps="true" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Uti5sqsaH3c/SyBV572aNEI/AAAAAAAAEcE/JCgOK6Ad1QY/s320/recipe+14.jpg" /></a><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">The chipboard sticker pieces coordinated with the paper.<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">If you know me at all,<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">you know I am a sucker for coordinating paper crafts.<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">That is one thing I love most about Stampin' Up!...<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">everything coordinates!<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Makes things so much easier.<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">*<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Uti5sqsaH3c/SyBV7i6I8KI/AAAAAAAAEcM/aIF09azIo8o/s1600-h/recipe+15.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" ps="true" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Uti5sqsaH3c/SyBV7i6I8KI/AAAAAAAAEcM/aIF09azIo8o/s320/recipe+15.jpg" /></a><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">This will be my last post for the year.<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I plan to take the rest of the year<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">As you can see above,<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">my album is a looooong album.<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">After easy assembly, it measures 6x12.<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Here is how I did it...<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">*<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Uti5sqsaH3c/SxUuGyvGj5I/AAAAAAAAEYg/baOAVvMJYPI/s1600/long+book+1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Uti5sqsaH3c/SxUuGyvGj5I/AAAAAAAAEYg/baOAVvMJYPI/s320/long+book+1.jpg" yr="true" /></a><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I used clear packing tape to bring together<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">two Perfectly Shaped pieces.<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">This ends up creating ONE of my album pages.<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">*<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Uti5sqsaH3c/SxUuIxdVjaI/AAAAAAAAEYo/je8G6fjzXys/s1600/long+book+2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Uti5sqsaH3c/SxUuIxdVjaI/AAAAAAAAEYo/je8G6fjzXys/s320/long+book+2.jpg" yr="true" /></a><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">For extra support, I added tape to both<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">the front and the back of my finished long page.<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">*<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgE8n6n0t6NrT9J8VUHvc5Xm1GzptUZLht3EwX4aYzG_qTk2JQV0vHGQI_MMboMMGRmsFL4sfVcnqO1BoacYTO9dxNwK-IgKaXn3u_l0OoQfe9O427c0UJRpSBUJ7pjcafpxxVAjyOkqUeS/s1600/long+book+3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgE8n6n0t6NrT9J8VUHvc5Xm1GzptUZLht3EwX4aYzG_qTk2JQV0vHGQI_MMboMMGRmsFL4sfVcnqO1BoacYTO9dxNwK-IgKaXn3u_l0OoQfe9O427c0UJRpSBUJ7pjcafpxxVAjyOkqUeS/s320/long+book+3.jpg" yr="true" /></a><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Some tape may stick out from the edges.<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I simply trimmed this excess away.<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">After securing each of the pages,<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I then covered them with patterned paper.<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">If there were edges that showed,<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I used a sanding block to quickly sand them away.<br />

</div><div align="center">I kept the spine of my album uniform<br />
</div><div align="center">with the same Perfectly Shaped<br />
</div><div align="center">("Tabbed") piece from MOSD.<br />
</div><div align="center">This made it easier to bind with the Spiral Binding Rings.<br />
</div><div align="center">Then I used a different Perfecty Shaped piece<br />
</div><div align="center">for each page of my album.<br />
</div><div align="center">This creates that eye-catching layered look seen<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Uti5sqsaH3c/SvmNglUK3ZI/AAAAAAAAEQc/yI8qYsdXIEs/s1600-h/Blog+Award.bmp" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" sr="true" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Uti5sqsaH3c/SvmNglUK3ZI/AAAAAAAAEQc/yI8qYsdXIEs/s320/Blog+Award.bmp" /></a><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">This one is my absolute favorite (now next to yours.)<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Your "Way on the Web" is a sweet and subtle<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">but also bold way to recognize Matthew 28:19-20.<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Your heart for Jesus inspires me each and every day.<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Keep it up, girl!<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Always share His love!<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">*<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">The details for this special blog award can be found here...<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Here is what you can do, Wynne,<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">since you don't know many bloggers...<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">(especially those who purposely glorify our Father in Heaven)<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">when you post this award to your blog,<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #38761d;">NAME FIVE PEOPLE</span><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">who have inspired your journey with Jesus.<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">If you have time, tell breifly <span style="color: #38761d;">HOW</span> they have inspired you.<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #38761d;">Link to this post with your award</span>.<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">If you'd like to pass on the award, please be sure to<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">post the details with it as I've done here.<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">*<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">And one more award just for YOU, Wynne girl!<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I am so amazed at the girl, friend, daughter, sister,<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">child of God you are becoming!<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">So this award seems prefectly fitting for your<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Wynne's Web blog.<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Post it with a super happy feeling!<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I love MOSD Perfectly Shaped Build a Book elements!<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I actually like cutt'em up and challenging myself<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">to do more than the obvious of building a book<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">(although I REALLY like using them as is also!)<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">*<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">This tiny baby book uses only the center portion of the<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Perfectly Shaped Scalloped Square piece<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">from the Build a Book pieces.<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I simply trimmed it so I had 3 equal scallops<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">to make my tiny book.<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Then I covered the BaB piece with some SU! DSP<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">and added some 3x6" pieces of the same DSP for pages.<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I like how the pages peek out from each other.<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I simply used my Cropadile to punch holes in the binding<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">and bound it with grosgrain ribbon.<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">*<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Uti5sqsaH3c/Su7ulpgZAmI/AAAAAAAAEOU/DXmUOEgghHs/s1600-h/baby+book+2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Uti5sqsaH3c/Su7ulpgZAmI/AAAAAAAAEOU/DXmUOEgghHs/s320/baby+book+2.jpg" vr="true" /></a><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Super easy and super cute!<br />

Thank You<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Uti5sqsaH3c/SuWY-ayLk3I/AAAAAAAAELc/hoM-jynuh_0/s1600-h/simple+BD.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Uti5sqsaH3c/SuWY-ayLk3I/AAAAAAAAELc/hoM-jynuh_0/s320/simple+BD.jpg" vr="true" /></a><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I am a HUGE fan of the<br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">"Simple Birthday Thank You" stamp by Stampin' Up!!<br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I love using this image for more<br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">than just the "thank you" for which it was intended.<br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I usually "MASK" the words before stamping<br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">or cover the word portion with DSP (patterned paper.)<br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">*<br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">However, my friend, Greta may have just topped all<br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">with her take on using this image WITH the words present!<br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">At a recent stamp club,<br />
I told her to just pay for her order next time.<br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">She sent her check along with this adorable card!<br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I LOVE how she used the "Thank you for the..."<br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">and filled in with "extra time to pay my bill."<br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Is that not a HOOT?!<br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I was so crackin' up!!!<br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Thanks for the chuckle, Greta, as well as the great idea!<br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">*<br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I now see this image (WITH words)<br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">being used for all sorts of things...<br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">"Thank you for the..."<br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">"shoulder to lean on."<br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">"helping hand."<br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">"new baby dinner."<br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">on and on are the ideas!<br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
