Family album
Hi all! Hope you had a great fourth of July!
I am in the process of constructing a family heritage album for a family reunion. Here is a video I found that helped me get started. Would love for you to share any sites or resources you have found helpful for similar projects-getting started is proving quite difficult for me so any help is much appreciated!

Father's day card ideas
from the site: http://www.card-making-magic.com/fathersday.html
We all like to send cards to Mum but don't forget this Special Day for your Dad too.
Let him know how much you care in a beautiful card that you have made.
It is celebrated on various days around the world.
But whenever it is in your country it's never too soon to get busy making it.
This rather handsome chap is Jim and he is from Paper Printables and he is Free
This is Jim in another one of his leisure activities.
Who says men don't wear pink!!
Fishing, golf, DIY, football, darts, gardening, snooker and motor racing are some of the ideas that could be used on the cards.
To get lots more characters that are all free to you take a loook at this page byClicking here
It will show you more characters and give you some ideas of what you will get. All well worth a look.
I like to keep the colours muted and stay away from flowers, but buttons are a useful adorment on a male card.
But you know your dad the best and the things he likes, so don't be afraid to go to town with your ideas.
Send it with your love and add
"Handmade by....your name.."
on the back, to let him know you care, and maybe take him out to dinner as well for that added extra...
Magic!

Directions for Teabag folding
Teabag Folding Instructions using one of the designs in our Teabag Folding Set.
| You will need to cut and fold 8 paper squares to make this rosette. Print your pages on thin, yet crisp paper. Cut out your little squares carefully and fold diagonal and in half in both directions. Fold sharp crisp lines. Unfold. |  |
| Using your fold lines, fold two of the 'across' folds back in towards the center of the unprinted inside. |  |
| What you will now have is a little triangle. Fold one of the outer tips of the side that you want to be the front of the rosette behind and up to the tip of the triangle. |  |
| So now you have a flat triangle with an additional fold on top where you tucked the top-side tips up and under. I find it helpful to put a drop of glue on the unprinted inside of the big triangle to hold it flat. |  |
| You are going to take these separate folded triangles and tuck them one at a time under each other snuggly. |  |
| As you tuck one after another, you will find that it forms a circle. Try to keep it tight towards the center. I used heavy paper here so I was not able to get it as tight as I'd have liked--live and learn ! |  |
| The rosette is almost finished. Insert the last triangle making sure to follow the direction of overlapping flaps. You will want to put a drop of glue under each flap to hold everything in place. |  |
| The finished teabag folded rosette. I chose to use the brighter side of the paper square for the top, but you could doit in reverse and have a more pastel look. |  |
 | Even the reverse side of the rosette is pretty. There are many more folds possible, and this is just one possibility. Teabag folding has unlimited uses in scrapbooks & on greeting cards. You can even use the finished pieces for Christmas ornaments or package decorations. |

Video #3-Scrapbooking with Stampin' up
I have about 200 stamps but I use them exclusively for cardmaking-I liked this video because it gave me ideas to break out of my routine and use stamps on my scrapbooking pages. This video can be found on Youtube-I did not make any of the videos on this blog I just find them very helpful!!
