Scrapbooking Chalks
Scrapbooking Chalks are a great inexpensive way to add color to your scrapbooking page. With a simple set of basic chalks you can add shading, highlighting to your various types of papers, stamping,punch art and die cuts. They will allow you to be more creative and give your scrapbooking layout character. Be sure when you buy your chalks that they are not just artist's pastel they need to be acid free just like all of the other things you use on your scrapbooking pages.
There are a variety of tools that you can use with chalks including q-tips, cotton balls, eye shadow applicators and tissue. Experiment on a scrap piece of paper with the various tools to see what kind of effects you can get. Start with a light touch you can always add more color. Always start with the lightest color and add to darker when shading.
If you are going to be chalking an embellishment be sure to use extra caution when glueing. The chalk will stick to the glue. Chalk can be used to tint ribbons and fabrics.
To fix mistakes you can use a chalk eraser that is available at most craft stores. Fix mistakes quickly though chalk does become permanent
Chalk does not generally need a permanent fixative, the pigments in chalk become permanently set in just a few hours. You can use a acid free spray fixative available in craft stores but be careful not to spray your photos
Have fun and experiment...let your creativity run wild. Chalks can be a lot of fun !

Wildlife Ride
Today was last day of school so we decided to hop on the quads and go for a ride... I was hoping for more pictures of bambi's and some moose calves... instead we got this!! Here's a daddy Kildeer trying to lure us away, they pretend to be injured so you go to them. Next is the mommy Kildeer on the nest (she had 3 eggs last week)
look closely and can you see the beak, the baby bird and 2 eggs!!! so cool
Now below is a creek bed, the beavers have blocked it up again and barely any water is getting in. We were walking around and checking it out... Guess what the Kildeer's will be eating!! Yes, on all those little rocks are about 20 or more leeches attached - it's GROSS!! we have never seen anything like it before - those are all different sized babies - the adults are about 1.5 to 2 inches long!!
Then we end it with a peaceful picture for you all to enjoy!!!

How to Heat Emboss!
I love embossing, it gives such a crisp clean look as well as brings another dimension to your scrapbooking/cardmaking project!
Heat embossing gives a flat stamped image a raised effect. There are two ways to heat emboss:
1. Stamp with a colored ink and use a clear embossing powder. Because the powder is clear, the ink color below will show through. For this option you want to use pigment inks, because they stay wet longer. Dye ink, chalk or solvent inks don't work so well for embossing.
2. Stamp with a clear embossing ink and use a colored embossing powder.
The method of embossing is the same for both options.
For clear ink you can use embossing ink or Versamark For colored ink you can use any pigment ink.
Optional: a tidy tray and a anti static cushion
Tap the anti static cushion lightly over the paper or cardstock, and drag the light powder across the area where you intend to stamp. These cushions hold a small amount of cornstarch or similar ingredient, like talc, and offer an anti-static property to the surface. This avoids any excess embossing powder sticking to anywhere else on the paper or card-stock other than the stamped image itself.
Choose your ink and embossing powder colors
Ink your stamp and stamp the image on paper.
While the image is still wet, generously sprinkle embossing powder over the image, covering it completely. Place your project over the tray, sprinkle the powder, and tap off the excess—all of the powder stays inside the tray’s walls. When you’re finished, tip the tray up and pour the excess powder back into its jar. If you don't have a tidy tray, you can simply use a piece of scrap paper.
You will be left with only the stamped image, covered in powder.
Using a heat gun, gently heat the image. Hold the heat gun 6-8 inches away from the paper and move it gently from side to side
The powder will melt and the image will rise. When the entire image is embossed, turn the heat gun off. Let the image cool for a few seconds before handling it.
You can emboss on some specialty papers, like vellum or transparencies. However, you need to hold the gun further away from the paper to avoid burning or melting. You may need to heat the image longer because of the increased distance between the heat gun and the paper.

Vellum
The other day, i was on a forum discussing vellum and i went and found this information and thought we would all love to have this information! keep on growing and learning in the scrapbooking world!!
Vellum is a fun way to embellish your pictures and scrapbooking pages as well as create beautiful greeting cards and invitations with added interest and dimension.
Vellum is a fun way to embellish your scrapbook pages to add interest and dimension. Vellum is available in a wide variety of colors as well as in polka dots, swirls and other patterns. Paper crafters will also want to experiment with using a wide variety of paperweight from lightweight to heavy to achieve the desired effect.
Vellum is generally used to layer on top of other papers in scrapbooking and for journaling in scrapbook pages. Vellum is also a fun way to embellish handmade greeting cards. Birth announcements, weddings, baby and bridal shower invitations can also be dressed up quickly by printing the information right onto the vellum or print on the bottom sheet and add a thin weight vellum over the top of the typed information for
added interest.
You can hole punch through both layers at the top of your announcement or invitation and lace a slender ribbon through. This will keep the layers of paper together and give a finished look to your card.
When lacing ribbon through a greeting card is not practical you may find that vellum can be tricky to adhere to your other papers. Because vellum is see-through you can also see traditional tape or glue generally used to hold the papers together. A clever scrapbooker can hide the glue spot with other die cuts, brads, stitching, eyelets, letters, flowers, embellishments that are being used to complete the page.
Using vellum for scrapbook pages can be a really fun option hindered only by your imagination. Think of any material that is partially see-through and consider how it could be applied to your scrapbook pages. For example, vellum creates adorable shower curtains. You could use a shower curtain in a bubble bath scrapbook page or for the bubbles themselves. Other ways to use a vellum shower curtain could be to
highlight pictures with a shower and the song "Wash that man right outta my hair" for a page about breaking up with a boyfriend!
There are lots of ways to use vellum with a page themed for camping or fun in the great outdoors. The obvious choice is to use vellum for wings. From angel wings, butterfly wings or even cute insects on a child's bug collection scrapbook page. Create flies at the picnic or fireflies buzzing around the campfire or glass of the lantern. Try combining red, orange and yellow vellum to create realistic fiery flames, twinkling stars or shining moon. Use vellum to make a fly attached to the string on a fishing pole or to embellish
the scales on the fish itself, windows on the cabin or waves at the lake.
Wedding pages and velum go together to create champagne glasses or the bride's glass slipper for a fairy tale scrapbook page with her prince charming. Of course, you can't have a bride without a wedding veil and vellum makes the perfect paper medium for paper piecing and paper dolls to embellish your pages. Use vellum to recreate the wedding bouquet and tiered cake top for your scrapbook as well! If your background page is a darker color cut up small pieces of vellum to scatter around as confetti to add to the celebration!
Vellum makes fun snowflakes, icicles, ice cubes, skating rinks, or any objects related to ice or water. Think of vellum to depict glass items, clear plastic household products and containers, windows and curtains.

Using Bottle Caps
Bottle Caps and scrapbooking? You bet! Bottle caps create fun, colorful and dimensional layouts.
You can use bottle caps just they way they are if you like lumpy embellishments. Attach them with foam adhesive or pop dots.
Or you can flatten them! Use a rubber mallet to pound flat or you can even use your Sizzix, wizard, cuttlebug machines with converter! Just slide the bottle caps under the converter just like you were going to make a cut and *Squish* they flatten perfectly!
Uses for Bottle Caps:
*Use as tags (you can even thread fiber or ribbon through them by punching a hole with your hole punch/ cropadile!)
*Use for titles
*You can stamp letters or other images onto your bottle cap (use an ink such as Stayz-On that will work with metal)
*Use as deco circles
*Use as mini frames for small cropped photos
*Put a photo inside and then put some Liquid Glass/Glossy Accents over the top to seal and create a dimensional photo
*Create mini "bottle cap scrapbooks"
*Heat emboss
*Use rub-ons or stickers to decorate them
*Paint them!
*Cover them with fabric or patterned paper
*Collage or Alter them
Can you imagine your pages, new flower look, titles, tags for a "pop" scrapbook page, the ideas are endless, would love to see your creativity and ideas - please share!

Layering Photos
Matting photos with colored paper is one of the best ways that you can pick up the colors in your photos and bring your photos to life. Single, double and triple mats can provide color, texture and dimension to your scrapbook pages.
Pick your paper to complement your photos or set a mood.
Decide how many layers you want for the page. Each photo could be different layers, mix it up for depth and looks!
Decide on a cutting method. Decorative edges, tearing, distressing, inking are popular ways to make a mat, easily adding texture and interest to your pages.
