READY FOR THE SCRAP CONVENTION

I am so ready for June 5! Carissa and I are going to Arlington, Texas for the National Scrapbooking Convention. We are signed up to take a couple of classes and are both so ready to get away from it all and SCRAP!!! WE love looking at all the new products. It will be very hard not to spend too much money!

I seem to be addicted to all the new materials out there. I get it into my head that I need something and I don't stop until I get it! I now have an embosser with several different designs and enjoy just making my paper pretty!

Well...until next time....SCRAP UNTIL YOU CAN'T SEE STRAIGHT!

Making Embossing Templates from the Cricut

I am currently trying to figure out the easiest way to make embossing templates using my Cricut. I think the best way I have heard so far is to cut your shape from a piece of chipboard (old cereal box works) and glue the
"cutout" on another piece of chipboard where it can be lined up exactly with the cut-out.

This will align the two sides so that the paper to be embossed will fit between and the design will press into the paper. It is important to note that the paper you want to emboss should be lightly spritzed with water prior to embossing. It will help it to be flexible. Just make sure it is not too wet or you could ruin your template!

Any ideas???
