Make it - day 9

Hahaha - something totally new and fun for me - I made a video. A video of how to make a paper bag album - a mini scrapbook from the very start to the fun part of embellishing the album.

I gotta admit that I sound like I am 12 years old and I forget words & make up some new words and towards the end of video I start to sniffle...but I do LOVE my hands...they look young. Don't we all wish we had younger looking hands? Heehee...I sound like I am selling lotion. Anyway, I hope you like it - but I must warn you it is long - 36 minutes long...but it's all you ever wanted to know about making paper bag albums...cause afterall I know you have been waiting for just such a video :-)

I am linking this up to the blogs posted
above...

btw-here is the finished album...and the extra items I used:

Happy Making

I know you have had to heard of  SQUARE by now. Well if you do craft shows and sell your wares then it's super easy now to accept CREDIT CARDS at a sweet LOW price....and best of all NO bulky machine---just hook it up to your IPHONE and wham - sale=money in your bank account. No, this is NOT a paid write up but I need to share this awesome gadget...SQUARE and its free to join and free to get your own little square swiper

anyway why am I sharing this??? When you your reader they send you a small sticker that shows your clients what kind of credit cards you take. But it was was to small for me so I thought I would try something like this...

cool I know but not a realistic goal - since my show is the 27th of October.

Then I thought of doing it in felt but again too much time involved and I am not precise enough to cut out each letter perfectly. So then I had a LIGHT BULB moment

why not stick to the medium I am most comfortable with and work best using:

PAPER

and here is my take on the above credit card display...

{winking & dancing}

I am so happy with the way this came out. Like I have been showing it off to everyone that comes over, happy, like I can't wait to display it at my show HAPPY!

All I used is paper, and stickers and a couple of punches...

Not to shabby right? and how incredibly useful. Nice and large so all my customers are able to see it.
