What freebie digital scrapbooking sites should I stay away from?

July 27th, 2010

Posted by admin in scrapbooking | 1 Comment »

I am getting into digital scrapbooking, and am excited about all the free stuff you can download online. I am, however, a little aprehensive about downloading. Has anyone ever run into a digital scrapbooking site I should stay away from (spyware, viruses, etc.)? Thanks!

I guess BlueBell would be one that I would stay away from as it doesn’t have as many features as some.

I have only used PhotoMix software for my digital scrapbooking. It works for me as I like to make many collages and such.

Hope that helps :)

How to make a scrapbook cover by yourself?

July 27th, 2010

Posted by admin in scrapbook | 4 Comments »

I’m planning on making a scrapbook (and I don’t intend to buy one) but what can I use to make the scrapbook cover? Please don’t say wood or leather, because I don’t have any of those!

Well you can,
* splash different colors of paint all over the book.
*or you can cut your favorite celebreties, singers, authors, or illustrators and stick in a messy place.
*or you can cut your pictures, family picture, class pictures, friends etc.. and stick it.
*get a piece of old cloth, like jeans and cut it and staple it to the copy book from down and add little flowers or stuff the pops, or u can put it plain.
*or get a news paper cut it in different sizes and stick it.

Hope i helped honey :)

What font in the Cricut line will allow you to connect letters?

July 27th, 2010

Posted by admin in cricut | 1 Comment »

I just got a cricut off of QVC and love it already, but wish you could have the letters cut so they are connected together as one word like the sayings that come with the cartridges. Do they make such a cartridge?

As far as I know all the cartridges only have individual letters. Most cartridges offer some common words that are connected but you can’t just do any word. I understand that there is another machine that is quite a bit more expensive that allows you to connect the letters as well as download fonts from your computer but I can’t remember the name of it . . . Ah to dream . . .
