Interesting Website - Picnik!!

OK, it's not Friday, and it's been a couple of weeks since I last shared a website. But, to make up for it, I am posting a website that is one dandy of a website!!
Have you ever wanted to do some fancy editing of your pictures? Or even just to turn them black/white or sepia-toned? Picnik will do all that, and SO MUCH MORE! Now this website looks free (I've just been playing around on it...) but it looks like you can also upgrade to get additional features. It will put borders on your pictures, help with blurriness, let you put writing on the pictures, even turn parts of the picture blurry or b/w while keeping the rest of it sharp & in full color. Bookmark this website - this is one you will surely want to use!

Website Friday - Method Playground

Here is another challenge blog - I find it inspiring when I want to do something unusual with my layout...maybe use an unusual product, or try a new technique.
Method Playground is just that...a place to play around with your layouts. The next time you get stumped, see what their latest challenge is and it might help you get past that Scrapper's Block!

Embellished Flowers

I found this video today of how to embellish flowers. The patterned flowers are real popular right now, but you can take flowers that you already have & make them updated. Just watch this video. I have tried it with script and swirl stamps as well, and I really like the look!

Store Finder by State

I just got back from vacation (hence the big time frame since the last post), and found a need for our next website...a listing by state of all the scrapbook stores in that state. It, of course, may not be up to date, but at least it's a start. Scrapbookingmall.com does that for us. (If you know of others, please pass them on, and I will list them as well.) Have fun shopping!

Website Friday - a double dose

In a effort to make up for missing last Friday, here is a double dose of interesting websites for you to peruse...both of them are blogs:
1.) The first one is a blog where a scrapbooker has listed 31 ways to make scrapbooky/crafty flowers...a whole month's worth! Her blog (and no, I don't know this person, but she looks like fun!) is call Pink Paper Peppermints. Some of her flower tutorials are scrapbooky, some crafty, and some are even edible. Take some time to browse...I'm sure that you could find one idea to try!!
2.) The second blog is called One Little Word - celebrating the power of words. Every other Wednesday they give a new word, and challenge you to do a layout focusing on that word. In between words, they show a new technique & challenge you to use it. This blog is a great way to push your layouts & your journaling to the next level!
Good luck with the new techniques that you might discover!

Website Friday - Titles

Today, I wanted to share a database that I just discovered. Sometimes it is so hard for me to be inspired when it comes to titles. Mine are usually, well, boring. So, I have bookmarked this page at Scrapbook.com to use in my scrapbooking - a whole database of titles, already pre-thought-up-of for me!! Can't get better than that when I am un-inspired!!

Crop tomorrow!!

Don't forget our monthly crop tomorrow, May 16th. Don't forget your swap items. See you there!
