I have a hint and a question for everyone. I have a pair of Tim Holtz scissors. They cost alot so I take the upmost care of them. Well, I've discovered when Im trimming double sided tape from my paper that I get alot of tape residue on them, which makes them sticky. So I discovered that Olive oil cleans them and makes them like new again!! I just put a little olive oil on a paper towel, and clean the residue off! The oil disolves the residue off. I then wipe them off with a soft cloth, cut some paper to make sure its all off! My question is how do you clean your scissors?

Husband has to run parts this morning so I'm taking advantage of the big screen to review the videos on this month's challenge.

Made the Delightful Mini Album for my newborn grandson. He was named after Joshua Tree National Park as this is a place that holds great memories for him mom and dad.

I tried to combine both the National Parks and the baby theme together. This wasn’t very easy. I am terrible at embellishments so please be kind. There are some personal touches like using his name on the National Park sign and the onesie on the inside of the back cover.

This album was difficult for me to make emotionally as my daughter and I are estranged and I am not able to get to know Joshua. I hope this gift makes a little bit of difference in our current situation.

Promise! This is the last one for the week 🤣🤣. This is the Double Waterfall mini. Thank you Francės Long for such a great tutorial. 😍.

Finally am posting my July Memory Box Challenge! It's possible I went overboard hehe but I had so much fun making it!!!!! Strawberries anyone? 😁. The paper I used for this one is Strawberry Fields by EchoPark! I also made the 3D strawberry bunch on the front cover!!!!!

Morning! This is the secon Peace folio. This one is for an upcoming beach trip. ☀️🏖️🕶️

If you want to make a fast and beautiful book, try the Peace folio. I made two this week to document our July cruise and one for our next trip to lovely St. Maarteen. It holds 20+ photos. It is great for short vacations. This is the one for the cruise.
