About Me

My photo
I am a creative self made artist with experience in 3D rendering, digital art, abstract art and I am currently learning how to making OOAK and custom dolls. Art is my passion and I am one of the lucky ones who gets to stay home and do art and craft. Also I am currently a Youtube junkie in the process of teaching myself everything I can about making dolls, doll clothes, doll hair wefts, wigs and rerooting, dioramas, cardboard and paper mache objects and well as learning how to make my own clay and sculpt objects from clay.

Card Making Supplies

  I got my first Card making supplies today from a generous lady who is local to me. She was so nice and I'm happy that I am able to get something to get me started. Her husband is also a Veteran. It was very touching to be able to do something with my life that has become so personal to somebody else and I hope that it touched her life. If anyone else has anything they think would be useful to make cards for our heroes that are fighting our wars  please feel free to email me. Those supplies will be used mainly for charity cards.
 Soldiers are worth it!!

More Helpful Scrapbooking Terms

Scrapper - Someone who engages in the hobby of scrapbooking.
Crop - The practice of trimming or cropping photos, either for decorative elements or to simply resize them.  The word "crop" is also used by some scrappers to refer to a scrapbook gathering, whether it's a convention, retreat, cruise, or even just a group of friends getting together at one's house to work on their scrapbooks as a group.
Embellishments - The decorative elements that really make a page come alive.  Embellishments include stickers, rub-ons, stamps, eyelets, brads, chipboard elements in various shapes, alphabet letters and ribbon. 
Journaling - Journaling refers to the writing or storytelling that's often involved in scrapbooks.
Eyelet - Eyelets are small metal circles through which the laces are threaded on a pair of shoes. They are used in a scrapbook context as decoration and as a means to "rivet" components onto a page - mainly card stock.
Nameplate - An embellishment that looks like its name implies - a round or rectangular plate with a person's name inside.
Punchies - The paper shape which results from using a paper punch tool - not the hole left by the punch. Punchies can be used on a scrapbook page for decorative effect, giving your page the look of confetti.
So learn these words and phrases and you'll better understand what's being said when you're actually working on a scrapbook.
