Happy New Year

Sorry it has been so long since I have posted to my blog. After our trip to Canada I had some serious computer challenges. Blue screen of death type problems. I ended up taking my CPU to the local computer store and having them re-load the system software after backing everything up... again. Then of course it was Thanksgiving, we hosted a pretty big group of family and friends. Then Christmas celebrations... there are just not enough weekends in December. Plus I really didn't take any time off of work to craft.

However, I did get a lovely surprise gift from my mom that afforded me purchasing a new JVC Everio S GZ-MS120 video camera. Big Lots offered the best price and it got a good review on C-Net for being a non HD camera. So I have tried my hand at some haul videos again. My next goal is to use my crafting supply surplus and make cards, sell some cards, and make some how-to videos.

Here is a link to my haul video using the new camera.

Thanks again and Happy New Year to you all.

Greetings from Vancouver

Hi everyone. We returned from our trip to Vancouver. We saw U2 at BC Place. A big stadium with a dome. Vacouver is gearing up for the 2010 Winter Olympics. I also saw Stephen Sondheim -- it was sort of a chat about his career. It has been so long since I have posted. But I will be showing you a few things I picked up in Vancouver and maybe a couple of pix.
Thanks

Haul Video from Paper Tales, Michaels, and Target

Hi everyone,

Here is a link to my craft supply haul. As you know I am always looking for ways to extend my crafting budget. The Hero Arts stamp is printing beautifully and look forward to showing you my spooky Stickles creations.

Take a look at the video. Thanks for watching!

PS: I am really in need of video help... I have Adobe Premiere CS3 but my exporting and maybe importing of video is lacking and seems to consistently fail when I upload. So I have begun using Windows Movie Maker - not fancy but it is working. Let me know what settings you use. My video camera was an unexpected gift and the quality gets marginal reviews by the pros but o.k. marks from beginners like me. Any assistance you can provide would be greatly appreciated.

Haul Video from the Stamp Addict

Hello everyone,
I have been a bit behind in blogging lately. My newest obsession is watching haul videos... it is free to watch what others have bought! So I tried my hand at a haul video using a really cheap camera which I have since returned to Big Lots.

Here it is. I promise everything was not blurry. :)



Let me know if you have any questions about the products. I also am looking for tips for the Stamp N Bond powder and the perfect pearls.

Thanks!

Silhouette Vinyl Labels on White Boxes

Well I finally found the Adobe Illustrator windows xp plug in for the Silhouette. It is called Cutting Master2 CraftROBO and there is a You Tube install video.

My own pet peeve is that the software that comes from Craftrobo leaves much to be desired if you have ever used Illustrator, Freehand or any drawing software.

The Quickutz Craftrobo software is useful for cutting files that you purchase from Quickutz, but for fonts and scaling and control go to the Craftrobo site and download the plug in. You can more easily control the placement of images to cut. Cutting fonts is a snap, no tracing required.

So here are my Big Lots $2 nesting boxes from the Martha Stewart wedding clearance. Yes, you got all 3 boxes for $2.
The vinyl is a dark blue and the font is A&S Black Swan.


The boxes before the label...











The after photos -- ok I know there are a lot of photos, but I was so excited that I could get fonts to cut out well -- even in the small half inch high letters.

Here is my Creative Space and Craft Room

My first video attempt. Let me know what you think.

Dubbing to come, once I figure that part out. :)
I am attempting to upload it to Youtube now.
It's late. More link posts later.
OK, so you have to use edit HTML. Night Night.
