Hi! I just started scrapping for others and so I came across your site. It looks like you've had a great start! I read how you've been frustrated with finding kits that are S4O compatible so I thought I would share with you that the kits at atomiccupcake.com are ok for S4O. You pay a flat fee of about $12.95 and that gives you free access to download all the kits and embellishments and paper, etc. that you want for 30 days. They have a TON of kits and they are all S4O ok!!! I was so excited when I found this out yesterday because I have a ton of kits from them. Anyway...that would probably be a good investment for you. They have another section that has a ton of actions but you have to pay for that one separately. Hope that helps!! Best of luck to you!

I love your pages, just gorgeous!
xooo

Have been watching the Shimelle Christmas Journal and will definitely be there next year instead of sitting on the sidelines cheering you all on. Have got to ask your cover pic today in the overall is just gorgeous, the style, composition, colors, and details blend beautifully but that silver overlay tree shape has got me curious? Is it a embossed fern or stamp ? what ever it is it adds the finishing layer like frosting on a cake.

What a great site !! Thank you !

Hello, Michelle. We call it "Black Friday" because it's the day of the year that merchants typically move from the red ink into the black ink. The assumption is that most retailers do not accumulated profit until the Friday after Thanksgiving. January through November are in the red, and the day after Thanksgiving is the day the books turn and they go into the black until the last day of the calendar year. It signals the first day of black ink. Expenses have all been met, supplies and costs all accounted for, so from the day after Thanksgiving until the last day of the year, the money that comes in will be all profit, and will determine how successful they were this calendar year.

Tino pai !

Oh, and I'm with you on RapidShare, I hate it too!!!

I'm a daily visitor to your blog and just had to take a moment to say I love it!!! You always have very good info here and I love your work! Thank you for sharing!

Totally loving your site... and yesterday I peaked at your projects but today when I had more time I tried to look again and the PDF files won't open!! I would really like to see the Evidence of Home project one more time! Can this be fixed? Thanks!

Remember your post about the post from Jessica Helfand from the Design Observer. I see that she is going to speak about scrapping at the Smithsonian. I would like to hear your comments on this twist. See www.winterhouse.com

SCRAPBOOKING AT THE SMITHSONIAN
At the Smithsonian National Museum of American History on July 23, Jessica Helfand will give a short talk called “Historical Aesthetics and Design of Scrapbooks.

This is such a great place! Thanks for sharing! I have to try some of those cute little book ideas! Again thanks for sharing!
