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?

I made a couple of notepad/post it note holders! On the one with the humming bird, I used some nuvo glitter drops, and just barely squeezed the bottle while making"coloring" motion with it, barely touching the paper in the direction of the lines on the flowers. I love the effect it gave it!! This was such a quick and easy project!! I have 8 more to go now!!

My Kindful album, done for a baby book in paper from echo park. I also made a hidden paper clip to go with it. I accidentally changed a few things from Frances instructions from not paying attention lol so my advise to everyone is to watch the video first then start making the book. I did make several tuck spots on the photo layouts. I tried to post the best pictures as I couldn't upload them all! Thank you Frances for this tutorial!

Here is my kindful flip book! Its made to look like a birth announcement. Used Echo park paper. Was a super easy project! Thank you Frances for the project!

My take on the Peace Folio! This folio came together so easy!! It was a absolute joy to make! I used my scraps from my previous project, welcome baby boy by echo park. I made the chipboard frame on the front using the same method as Frances did for the front of the Marias Memento Box. It came together so easy! It makes an excellent piece for a brag book, or book for grandparents to show off the new bundle of joy!

Just finished a Marias Memento Box! Making crafts to get ready for a craft show in November, and this is the first on my list. Frances, the tutorial is amazing! Even for me, lol who has duh moments lol Decided on a boy theme as im a little partial to boys as I have 3 sons lol up next will be a small brag book made from the leftover scraps. Any ideas on which class would be the best?

I would like to introduce yall to Lolly lol I never name my folios but this one is Lolly because I lollygaged thru it all lol . I used the wonderful class Animal folio by Frances, using graphic 45 papers. I made a few small changes and also created a vellum pocket to add into a pocket also. Enjoy!

Made the small notebook holder folio using a winter theme! Love how easy this tutorial was!! Now onto my next project!!
