Why are so many different ones available? Are they really worth the money? Do I need one?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
These are some questions I am going to attempt to answer for you in this installment of Loonscrapper's Blog. I had these exact same questions until recently, and now that I have purchased and "played" with one I can better educate you on them.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
There are a number of Ottlites available on the market and I am going to go through them one by one for you.</span><br />

I was ecstatic to receive money from my hubby to get some scrapbooking supplies. He did go to a couple of Craft stores like DeSerres and Michaels but like most men became intimidated and left empty handed opting to let me get what I wanted.<br />
<br />
You would think I would know exactly how to spend the money, but I am like a kid in a candy store with too many yummy choices in front of me. After careful consideration I did decide on a couple of things. I have been wanting an OttLite so that is definitely on my list. As I start looking at the OttLites I find myself having to decide what size? what color? do I need battery backup? should it be a desk or floor lamp...omg...too many choices! So I decide to check out the options available and will sleep on that decision for another day. Okay so now I also know I want a stamp scrubber, and a brayer. Simple enough the scrubbers are all similiar and I already have the cleaning spray. My friends have medium sized rubber brayers and I just got some in so that one is a no brainer. <br />
<br />
As for what else to get...not sure. There are so many things I want so I guess it will have to come down to what I need the most, or should I say what I am desiring the moment I finally decide LOL. <br />

I just spent a good part of the day helping Sunshine Scrapper get her scrap room organized. She had her hubby paint her room Picadilly green (like the color of the Cricut brand logo). It sounds scary but the bottom half of the wall is the white wainscotting with the green on the top. The room looks great and as we began organizing her stuff two things became clear to me. First off this girl has way too much paper and second she must buy a new Cricut cutting mat every month because I stopped counting at 9 mats. Oh well at least now she can get some work done and be able to access all her tools, paper etc. Now I can put her to work on some kits for the New Year.<br />
<br />
Oh ya, I decided to get the Ottlite with both plug in and battery back up, so I am all set for my next crop:). If you need an Ottlite let me know as. I can get them. They range from $60 for a desk model to the $180 for one with all the bells and whistles. Average cost is $80 to 90 for a portable light for crops. Great investment. Hmm...next blog will be how to choose the right Ottlite...stay tuned...<br />
<br />
Happy scrapping friends<br />

We had a small very close nit group Sunday, and i must say " its always awesome to see you girls". One of my favorite things to do is go around the tables and sample some of the tools, see what techniques people are using, and check out their goodies like inks, mists, stickles, and whatever other awesome things i can find. Todays new toy was <a href="http://www.loonie4scrapbooking.ca/?subcats=Y&type=extended&status=A&pshort=Y&pfull=Y&pname=Y&pkeywords=Y&search_performed=Y&cid=0&q=stickles&x=0&y=0&dispatch=products.searc" target="_blank">"Stickles"</a>. A glorified glitter glue BY Ranger. I love them. I spent all day making pages for my paper bag albums. Stamping, heat embossing and lots of "stickling". Thanks bunches to "Scrapbooking Nut".... Who continually gives me much needed pointers on how to use new and old products I experiment with, and always has a happy cheery face and provides positive encouragement.. Lol One piece of advice with Stickles...they need time (lots of time) to dry. So Stickle and move on to another project then return later to finish, or Stickle at the end of your project not the beeginning!</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">I also have made another awesome purchase from L4SB.... My crop-a-dile with eyelets are also one of my new favorite things. For $40 you can get a crop-a-dile in a case with 80 medium eyelets of different colors. My crop-a-dile also doubles as a hole punch. So much fun. The crop-a-dile mentioned here is by WeR Memory Makers and costs $37.99 + tax. If you are interested in purchasing one please contact loonscrapper@gmail.com. We do not have them in stock but can typically get them in about a week.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">Oh and i almost forgot we made Christmas tree ornaments. Mine was not overly successful but was still very pretty. We used clear glass balls and all crafting ideas are endless. After those some of the girls made pinecone picture frames. They were scented so my wonderful partner in crime and my favorite cohort made one for me. Thanks bunches Loon Scrapper. I love you girl. Here is the link for instructions on how to make the pinecone ornaments: </span><a href="http://www.marthastewart.com/907287/pinecone-picture-frame-ornaments?czone=holiday/workshop-christmas/workshop-christmas-handbook&center=307034&gallery=274350&slide=907287" style="background-color: white; color: #1155cc;" target="_blank">http://www.marthastewart.com/<wbr></wbr>907287/pinecone-picture-frame-<wbr></wbr>ornaments?czone=holiday/<wbr></wbr>workshop-christmas/workshop-<wbr></wbr>christmas-handbook&center=<wbr></wbr>307034&gallery=274350&slide=<wbr></wbr>907287</a></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">They are actually quite easy to do (though separating the scales from the pinecone can take some effort and patience) and really pretty when done.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">So I will end with a open invitation to join us in our crops. Dates are posted with lots of notice and we try to have one a month. We would love to see you. The dates will be posted by the end of this week!</span><br />

<br />
Hope everyone is getting lots of crafting done as we approach the festive season. Christmas time is the perfect time to let your creativity go wild and everyone loves handmade gifts from the heart. It was for this reason that at our last crop we had design team member Scrapbooking Nut, teach a group of us how to make paperbag books. When you say it out loud it sounds really corny, but in all actuality these are wonderful gifts for teachers, grandparents, etc. We saw people do incredible things with their mini books. They are quite simple to put together but take a lot of time and planning out is important to get the look you are going for.<br />
<br />
We were so impressed with the result that we wanted to share them here with you. If you have been on the :Loonie4scrapbooking Faccebook group page than you have likely seen some of them, but I feel they are worth sharing. First off, this one was done by a middleshool girl whose work we are always proud to display on the site. Jess has a natural artistic talent that was evident the first day she walked into out introduction to scrapbooking class more than 2 years ago. <br />

<br />
These are just 2 examples, but we had a group of 8 ladies and we all had a great time. I know you are saying where is yours, well, first off its not completed and secondly its a gift for someone who may end up reading this so I don't want to ruin the surprise:)<br />
<br />
Sunshine enjoyed making her book so much (by the way we need photos Sunshine) that she went home and made 3 more for the Craft sale and she plans to make a bunch more for Christmas gifts. Hmm, think I may get one? Hope so!<br />
<br />
Now that all the sales etc are over for a bit it is time to get my craft room in order so I can get back to having a place to escape and let loose. Then I need to get over and help Sunshine set up her scrap room so she has no more excuses for not preparing kits:) Later this week the team and I are going to sit down and just have some fun girl crafting time making Christmas cards. I am looking forward to craft time!<br />
<br />
Well thats all for now. If you plan to shop on the site in the near future please remember to allow enough time for your package to arrive as this is a busy time of year for the Postal Service. If you require gift wrapping that can be arranged and we do offer gift certificates for that hard to buy for person. <br />
<br />
Blog soon, happy scrapping!<br />

Hello fellow bloggers,<br /><br />Life as per usual is always busy and I am always late for everything. ....according to everyone i know lol. Don't tell my boss but I'm late with my monthly layout and my scrap room is still not even close to being usable. On the brightside I am getting super excited for the paper bag class with Tracey. Also i have ordered my very own crop-a-dile and it is in as well.....eeeek. This time of year i don't seem to have any problems spending money just making it.....I'm sure I am not alone in this. with all the new winter paper patterns and kits its very hard to say no.<br /> </div>
<div dir="ltr" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.499999046325684px;">
I don't have much to blog about today ( but promised i would do one lol) but on a side note i would just like to remind all our loyal customers and all our new ones as well that all pre-orders require a downpayment. This is especially true for our big ticket items like our Sillouette machines. For example with the Sillouette machine it is a 50% deposit.($100) this is what you will pay when you order the machine. Then when it arrives at Loonie4scrapbooking you will be billed for the remaining $100 plus tax and shipping. This is all to ensure that we are not stuck with extra inventory if an order is cancelled.</div>

Have you had a look at the winter paper and paper kits? Most of them are in stock and selling fast while Winter Wishes will be arriving soon. eeek. So hard not to buy one of each. which one is your favorite? if you create a masterpiece that you want to share feel free to post to our site. We love to see all your creations.</div>

I am the Scrapbooking Nut and I am also a friend of the Loon Scrapper. I have been an avid photographer even before I bought my first SLR film Camera. Scrapbooking came into my life a few years later as the natural complement to my photography hobby. Now that I have a 2 year old boy and 4 month old girl, I have a LOT of pictures to scrap and take advantage of every opportunity I get to make beautiful layouts. My husband is very understanding of my addiction and allowed me to put together my own room. I love to share my knowledge and I often hold a get together or class for my fellow scrapbookers. <u></u><u></u></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">
I enjoy many different aspects of paper crafting including stamping, smashing, card making, paper piecing and just plain old scrapbooking. I also have a terrible addiction to paper. I hope to share my ideas with you and hopefully inspire you to create some wonderful masterpieces of your own. <u></u><u></u></div>

<br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;" />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">Hope you all had a great weekend. I know I sure did. On Saturday my family and I went to Saunders Farm in Munster and had a blast. Turns out that the scary side of Halloween is still not a favorite of my boys. He doesn't like being scared. but he really enjoyed the wagon ride and the mazes and everything else, especially the giant bouncing pillow. If you live in the Ottawa area you should check it out.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">Then on Sunday I was at a Birthday party for part of the day before attending the monthly <a href="http://www.loonie4scrapbooking.ca/l4sbs-crop-n-potluck-september-9-2012-individual-day-sales-clone.html" target="_blank">LOONIE4SCRAPBOOKING CROP and POT LUCK</a>. Woo Hoo! If you were there, it was so nice to see you and if you weren't there I hope to see you next time. We have a fabulous group of girls of all ages and I totally love you all. Nice to see some new faces and of course the old ones as well. Instead of working like I was supposed to be doing one of my fellow scrappers ( a wonderful new friend) let me play with her <a href="http://www.loonie4scrapbooking.ca/available-through-supplier-within-24-hours.html" target="_blank">GLIMMER MISTS</a>. Well this is becoming one of my new favorite things. I took my <a href="http://www.loonie4scrapbooking.ca/smash-folios.html" target="_blank">SIMPLY ORANGE SMASH book </a>and I glimmer misted the plain pages with her different TATTERED ANGELS stencils. OMG, did I have a great time. Now I know you are thinking sounds cool I would love to see some pics........but I am not very computer savy yet and i haven't figured out how to do this yet. but as soon as i figure it out I will post pics so you can see my beautiful works of art. I am very impressed with myself.....if i do say so myself. lol A</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">fter some playing I was pulled back to work... if you can even call it work since I love my job at LOONIE4SCRAPBOOKING... and Loon Scrapper and Ii have started some planning for our next big venture in November. We have planned some AWESOME (and super cheap) scrapbooking kits. we have a SMASH BASKET ( of course we do since all I seem to talk about is SMASH products) and a starter kit for a beginner scrapper.... Perfect Christmas gifts. Perfect prices. More info to come for sure.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">Now yesterday I made some more progress on my SMASH books. I smashed for 3 hours without even noticing....oops;) I played with some products that haven't really been selling so I can figure out why. Well turns out I have solved some issues.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;"><a href="http://www.loonie4scrapbooking.ca/smash-captions.html" target="_blank">SMASH CAPTIONS </a>are awesome. they are $3 and i thought that's a lot of money for 20 mini number <b>stickers</b> and 22 mini little notes that come with it. Well they are <b>not stickers they are BRADS</b>....awesome that's why they are a little bit more money. I loved playing with them. Totally worth the money now that I have figured out they are brads not stickers. Also I was playing with the candy cane striped paperclips with tags, love them to!. They are great to gather up a bunch of items and then add a flag and label it. Again once I figure out how to add pictures I will. i also have to take some pics lol. hmmmm what else did I play with? Oh ya, the man and the bird clips that sell for $1.99 and they are great to smash glue in your books. They make good accents and cute clips to hold items like ticket stubs, pictures even business cards. Well i think I have babbled enough today. i think its time to sign out.</span><br />

<br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.499999046325684px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.499999046325684px;">I have started yet another <a href="http://www.loonie4scrapbooking.ca/collections/smash-collection-by-k-and-co..html" target="_blank">SMASH</a> book. this time i am doing a SIMPLY ORANGE book. It is awesome for any theme. It has a lot of plain paper that you can decorate as you wish. Right now i am practicing my stamping. iIs like making my own patterned paper. If I mess up, who cares, i will just smash over top of it later. I am also practicing my border punch. Your smash book is all about you and you can do whatever you want in it ......and since i have a 4 year old and my scrap room is still not set up Smashing is very time and space efficient.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.499999046325684px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.499999046325684px;">I take my Smash book with me whereever I go....except Scrapfest. of course i forgot my book at home. Good news is that i work for Loonie4scrapbooking (L4SB for short) and was able to just grab another one. My red one is like a diary.....very therapeutic and my green one is all happy family things and my orange one is whatever it turns out to be. The good news is you can grab any Smash book and make it your own. Just SMASH whatever comes to mind. The most convenient part of it is the pen slash glue stick. Take whatever you want to smash, glue it in, and take the pen and write whatever you want about it. And of course as with all cool things Smash has all kinds of cool accessories. I love the paper pads. My favorite ones are the BLACK ( quotes) YELLOW (blank) and RED ( special people) but there are all kinds of others......PURPLE (top 10) GREEN ( family) BLUE ( travel) PINK ( special occasions) ORANGE ( entertainment) just to name a few. Also there are smash bands, smash folders, smash clips, again just to name a few things. what is your favorite smash book, paper pad and accessory? Do you love smash as much as i do?</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.499999046325684px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.499999046325684px;"> </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.499999046325684px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.499999046325684px;">Love to hear from you</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.499999046325684px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.499999046325684px;">Sunshine</span>Loonie4scrapbookinghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06914290860943137876noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9161227405776685710.post-19285074955526909312012-10-15T14:21:00.000-07:002012-10-15T14:22:52.711-07:00A summary of our experience at Scrapfest Oshawa<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.499999046325684px;">What to say about Scrapfest?! </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.499999046325684px;"><br />
</span> <span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.499999046325684px;">It was early Friday morning and I was getting all packed. Saying good bye to my handsome husband, beautiful son and adorable puppy, Loonscrapper and I Jumped into the over loaded van that her gracious husband had packed for us, and we headed to Scrapfest Oshawa 2012. Our biggest Venue yet and an awesome birthday getaway with my bestie. We arrived at Scrapfest all excited and started to put up our display.....disaster #1. It fell down and landed on our neighbours cash register. Thankfully no damage was done but we were getting flustered. After nearly taking out their POS system, <a href="http://sweetsentiments.ca/" target="_blank">Sweet Sentiments</a> lent us a table and we were ever so grateful and got our booth set up just as they opened the doors. Phew that was close. Disaster #2......brand new cash register wouldn't work right......totally flustered. took some time but got it to work right.....woohoo! Short time later discovered cash tape was running out and we did not have another one. FYI: If you buy a cash register do NOT expect them to give you a regular sized roll. We would like to thank <a href="http://www.kc-scrapbooking.com/" target="_blank">Karen's Scrapbooking Creations</a> for helping us out of the bind. We were so busy non stop that the day went by really quickly. met lots of wonderful people and had a fantastic weekend. When the venue was over it was 5 pm and pouring rain......lol of course it was right????????? As Loonscrapper loaded the van Disaster #3 happened and the dolly I had loaded up with totes snapped off a wheel. ...did I mention it was brand new?! After A LOT of organizing and reorganizing we got the van loaded all the while staying positive and laughing it off. We headed off for dinner about 9pm ( yup took that long to load the van) looking like two drowned rats. I'm sure we were quite a site. We ordered supper......yummy, and I got free cheesecake for my birthday..delicious. and we headed back to our hotel and watched "The Proposal".....twice, great movie.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.499999046325684px;">We had so much fun and moved A LOT of product! That means you need to be paying extra attention because there is going to be tonnes of new products coming onto the site. We had such a good time we are also looking into attending Scrapfest Kitchener in April 2013. Eeeeek.how exciting is that?!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.499999046325684px;">A very special thanks to Loonscrappers husband and trusted friend for building us a display (sorry it didn't work out) and spending valuable time packing the van up......we really missed you on our end when we had to do it ourselves. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.499999046325684px;">And a very special thanks to my dear friend Loonscrapper for inviting me on Loonie4scrapbooking's biggest event to date. i was very proud to wear the logo and be a part of the fun. And for the most wonderful thoughtful Birthday gift, a train punch that has been discontinued forever. i don't know how she got it but I LOVE it!</span><br />

<br />
I recently told you that Loonie4scrapbooking was going to be selling Silhouette of America products and we were accepting preorders. Immediately after placing the order for the Silhouettes I received an email telling me about a new Silhouette cutting machine that is now available for preordering. This new machine is geared toward cardmakers or crafters not requiring the larger 12x12 surface area. This machine is called "the PORTRAIT". <br />
<br />
The <a href="http://www.loonie4scrapbooking.ca/silhouette-portrait.html" target="_blank">PORTRAIT</a> has the same motor as the Cameo but is smaller (with a 8.5x11" surface space)and weighs only 3.5 Lbs making it easily portable. It is able to resize designs from 1/4" to 8" in width and up to 10 feet long. The Portrait can cut all the same types of materials that the CAMEO can (including all Silhouette branded materials) and includes a cutting mat that will accept Letter (8.5 in x 11 in) and A4 sized sheet goods. Like the CAMEO, the portrait has an optical scanner so it can be used with a home printer to create print & cut projects. It is compatible with both Mac and PC and includes Silhouette Studio® software—allowing users to create their own designs and cut the fonts already installed on their computers. This machine will be in store by early December which gives plenty of time to get it as a Christmas gift. It will retail for $199.99 + tax<br />
<br />
To ensure you get one in time for Christmas preorder now! Total cost is $199.99 plus applicable tax but we only require a downpayment of $100 (no tax) to place your order. Balance of order will be collectable when machine arrives in store!<br />
<br />

In our next entry we will be introducing you to Loonscrappers friend and creative collaborator, Sunshine Scrapper. ...Loonie4scrapbookinghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06914290860943137876noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9161227405776685710.post-11286925685461160322012-09-01T22:12:00.002-07:002012-09-01T22:12:35.126-07:00<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
Silhouette <st1:country -region="-region">America</st1:country></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The Silhouette Cameo is an electronic personal cutting tool
that hooks up via a USB cable to your personal computer be it a PC or a Mac.. Instead of printing your images the Cameo has
a blade that cuts out the designs directly from your computer. The Silhouette is the 2<sup>nd</sup>
electronic cutting tool that Silhouette America has released. The first machine was the Silhouette SD which
is very similar to the Cameo but lacked enticing features such as a 12x12
cutting surface. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The Cameo is able to cut through fabric, vinyl, cardstock
and other materials with ease (when you use the right blade). There is also the option of removing the
cutting blade and replacing it with a Silhouette sketch pen to sketch digital
designs. It is easy to adjust the size of designs or text from ¼ inch up to 12
inches wide and as long as 10 feet, At
this point I can’t help but think to myself…ok, but my Cricut does all
that! What is it that makes this machine
stand out from other electronic cutting machines? </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
One important benefit I see from comparing the Cameo to the
Cricut machine is that the Cameo is both versatile and cost efficient. Cricut users need to purchase expensive and
space taking cartridges to get the images they want, many times buying a
cartridge just so they can get a couple of the images off of it…not at all cost
efficient. The Cameo user can purchase
the images they want through the online store using a download card paying only
.99 cents (or for some like Looney Tunes its $1.99) for an image, the image
they actually want! Once purchased this
image is theirs to keep. No wasting money on images you don’t want or
need, plus you get free designs through the Silhouette software when you
initially purchase your machine, and if that’s not enough, you can use any of
the fonts already on your computer. Wait
a second, am I understanding this right, this machine gives you some images
free, lets you download others and lets you design your own! Wow, to design using the Cricut I need a
Gypsy which is another semi expensive tool whereas the Cameo does all of that
with just one machine!!!!<br />
<!--[if !supportLineBreakNewLine]--><br />
<!--[endif]--></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I was thinking I MAY have to get a Cameo if for no other
reason so that I can know the product I am selling, but following that last
paragraph I am now certain I MUST have one for myself! I love my Cricut and it has served me well
over the past couple of years but as technology continues to advance so to do
the tools….and yay for that!</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The more I read about the Cameo the more I like what I
see/hear. The Cameo also allows you to
print full color images to your printer then cut them out using the Cameo. How cool is that? The Cameo can be controlled either by a home
computer or an SD card….my guess is the next machine they come out with will
also be controlled by our cellphones.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
While I was reading up on the Silhouette I decided to take a
peek at the <a href="http://www.silhouetteonlinestore.com/v2/default.aspx" target="_blank">Online store</a>. The store is
open for browsing but you are not able to purchase or download anything without
having the Silhouette Studio. Lots of
options including designs from companies like Echo Park, SEI, Pebbles etc, Only possible problem with this (for me
anyways) is that a person could spend hours just trying to choose designs they
may want with the large selection available.
They even have a free shape you can download each week. Upon entering the store I came across a blog
they have that you may be interested in taking a peek at: <a href="http://blog.silhouetteamerica.com/">http://blog.silhouetteamerica.com/</a></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
If you would like to purchase a <a href="http://www.loonie4scrapbooking.ca/silhouette-cameo-electronic-cutting-machine-preorder.html" target="_blank">Silhouette Cameo</a> machine
they are now available for preorder. The
cost of the unit will be $299.99 + tax and being such a big ticket item we do
require a $150.00 downpayment on the machine.
Included in the box with the Cameo electronic cutting machine is: USB cable, AC adapter and power chord, $10
download card, Silhouette instructional DVD and Silhouette Studio design
software, cutting mat, adjustable blade, and 50 exclusive digital designs.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Here are some specs on the machine you may find useful:</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Weight: 6.5 Lbs but please note the shipping weight states
11 Lbs</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
There is a 1year warranty on parts and labor. This warranty is through Silhouette <st1:country -region="-region">America</st1:country>
which is based out of <st1:state>California</st1:state>,
<st1:country -region="-region">USA</st1:country>.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Dimensions of the machine itself are: 20.9”x5”x6.5” but for
shipping are 24x11x11</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Well I guess all that’s left to do is get my Cameo and check
it out! The order will be going in soon
so preorder today to ensure you get one from the first order. I know I am looking forward to playing with
mine! Watch for my review after I get my
machine in a future blog.</div>

I recently tried the Magic Stamp from Clearsnap and was pleasantly surprised to find out it truly is a "magic stamp".</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br />
</span> <span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">The retailer description is: </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 12px;">CLEARSNAP-Magic Stamp Moldable Foam Stamps. Mold and remold this foam pieces into an endless variety of textures and objects. Just Heat; Mold; Cut; and Stamp! Your molded image will remain until you reheat your shape. Great for stamping or stenciling on paper; fabric; and wood. This package contains eight 4x3x1 inch foam blocks. Made in USA.</span> </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 12px;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br />
</span></span> <span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 12px;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">I had the Magic Stamp in the house for less than a week when I decided I just had to try it, My 2 sons and I decided to incorporate it into our craft time. I grabbed my heat gun, magic stamp, a couple of different colors of ink to prepare for our activity. I then told my sons to randomly choose a couple of items for us to try the Magic stamp on. </span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 12px;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br />
</span></span> <span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 12px;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">We started with a seashell. I heated the foam stamp by slowly moving the heat gun over the foam for about 30 seconds. I then set a seashell on the table and pressed the heated side of the foam into the shell and held it firmly in place for 15-20 seconds. The seashell impression was well detailed and when we added ink to the foam we discovered we had in fact created a beautiful stamp. </span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 12px;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br />
</span></span> <span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 12px;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">We also used various other objects including coins, which we discovered that when you overlap coins and put their impression in the foam they actually looked like bubbles. With the coins we played around and I was a little disappointed to see the impression on the coins was only minimally visible.</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 12px;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br />
</span></span> <span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 12px;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">My youngest son decided to go outside and get a leaf so we could try it, The leaf was beautiful especially when I used both red and brown ink on the stamp. We played around with the leaf, and saw the depth and clarity of the impression was dependant on the amount of pressure used. The deeper the impression the longer it takes to reheat the foam to have it return to its original form.</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 12px;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br />
</span></span> <span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 12px;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">We also tried a rock, a toy figurine, and a plastic baby fork. The plastic baby fork worked really well but the figurine left a weak unimpressive impression. I have read that if you make an impression of another stamp (eg a wood mounted stamp) the impression of the stamp will be different then the original impression the stamp would normally make, I did not test this yet but plan to the next time I play with the magic stamp...tomorrow maybe,</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 12px;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><span style="line-height: 12px;">Clearsnap was smart to not just create a block form of the foam stamp but also offers packages of sheet stock so that you can cut the size you need. Being able to cut to size gives you endless possibilities for your stamp creations. I must say I do love this product. I know the Magic Stamp is not new, it has actually been on the market for a few months, but I just recently learned about it and wanted to try it, So my opinion is that this is a really fun tool that enables your creativity to flow. My kids loved finding different things to make impressions with and of course like all kids getting dirty is always fun. I did not let them touch the heat gun but the rest they can do.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><span style="line-height: 12px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><span style="line-height: 12px;">I have one warning for everyone...it says on the packaging to keep the heat gun moving as you can melt the foam and oh boy, they are 100% correct. I was distracted by something happening around me and held the gun still for less than 3 seconds and sure enough the foam melted a bit. So if you are heating the block be careful to keep the heat moving across the foam and do not accidentally get too close to the foam.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><span style="line-height: 12px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><span style="line-height: 12px;">You can utilize both sides of the block making 2 distinct stamps. If you like the stamp you create you can leave the impression in the foam to use again. However if you want to erase your stamp to make another you simply reheat the foam gently gliding the heat gun over the impression until it is completely removed. Just remember to keep the heat </span></span><br />

This product is invading the crafting world with a vengeance.<br />
<br />
Washi tape is basically a pretty, high quality masking tape.<br />
You can tear it, stick it, reposition it, write on it...and so much more. The low tack adhesive makes it extremely easy to use (and reuse).<br />
<br />
Washi tape originated in Japan and is commonly made using fibers from the bark of the gampi tree, the mitsumata shrub (Edgeworthia papyrifera), or the paper mulberry, but also can be made using bamboo, hemp, rice, and wheat. Washi comes from wa meaning Japanese and shi meaning paper.<br />
<br />
Numerous companies in the crafting world now make Washi tape (or their version of it seeing as its not actually made in Japan). Bella Blvd, We R MK, Studio Calico, 7 Gypsies, Cosmo Cricket, Crate Paper, Queen and Company, and Heidi Swapp all joined the Washi takeover. Tim Holtz has a tissue tape and Little Yellow Bicycle released a vellum tape to compliment their Splash Collection. <br />
<br />
Each tape is unique. They have varying colors (neutrals/darks/lights/pastels/neon), designs (polka dots/ wood grain/flowers etc) sizes and themes (birthday/halloween xmas). Some come 2 rolls in a pack, others 3 in a pack, some just a single roll. Some are thick and have a paper backing, some are thin and transparent. The options are endless.<br />
<br />
Here is some info about each of the main companies that manufacture Washi tape. <br />
<br />
7 Gypsies tape: package of 3, not transparent, thicker than regular Washi tape, removeable/repositionable, good for stamping on, also have fabric tape available, low tack<br />
<br />
Prima canvas tape: package of 3, not transparent,low tack<br />
<br />
Tim Holtz tissue tape: set of 2, transparent, very low tack (does not stick well), <br />
<br />
K& Co. Smash tape: somewhat transparent, midway between a masking tape and a Washi tape, low tack, <br />
<br />
Hambley: great for beginners, 2 smaller rolls and 1 larger roll in a package, wood grain, doiley, script, low tack, can be layered for effect,<br />
<br />
American Crafts decorative tape: thicker than Washi, low tack<br />
<br />
American Crafts and Amy Tangerine teamed up: this is good starter set, neutral colors, wood grain,ruler, <br />
<br />
Martha Stewart paper tapes: holiday tapes, most are not transparent, thin, low tack,4 different sizes in a package,<br />
<br />
Real "Washi Tape":<br />
<br />
MT brand or Kamoi: available through Etsy<br />
<br />
It is important to look at the size of the roll to ensure you are getting your moneys worth. Most of the main brands have lots on there rolls but a couple of companies provide significantly less. <br />
<br />
At Loonie4scrapbooking we currently have some <a href="http://www.loonie4scrapbooking.ca/washi-tape.html" target="_blank">We R MK Washi tape</a> in stock for $3.79 + tax. The package contains 2 rolls each with 26 feet (52 feet total). One roll is 15mm wide; the other is 10mm wide. <a href="http://www.loonie4scrapbooking.ca/washi-tape.html"><br />

I cancelled my upcoming crop on Sunday May 1st due to a lack of comittment but then had 2 more people that wanted to attend, so I extended the deadline for another 24 hour period. Hard to believe that people don't want to come to a crop just outside of Ottawa that costs only $10 per person. The last crop was a wonderful success and we all had a great time. We had a potluck which is what we were doing this time also and everyone left with a full tummy and a smile on their face. I truly hope it is just bad timing but I am definitely going to be disappointed if it needs to be cancelled. If you are in the Ottawa area (the venue is located between Kemptville and North Gower) it is a short drive for a fun day. Two of the people that want to attend are from the Brockville area which even farther from the venue than Ottawa is. <br />
<br />
Another interesting thing that happened this week was Loonie4scrapbooking had its first International order. The order came in from Great Britain and it felt really good to be seeked out from that far away. We are more than willing to ship internationally but do require clients to pay the actual shipping charges associated with the order, We ask that anyone wishing to have orders shipped internationally contact us prior to arranging payment to ensure they know the appropriate shipping cost to their area based on weight of the order. <br />
<br />
If you have been on the site lately you will notice that we are still adding new stock, This week we are expecting some new piercer attachments from Sew Easy! Keep an eye on the Facebook group page<br />

Hope the Easter Bunny made a good effort to leave a little something for everyone. Remember to click lots of photos of the little ones as they go on their hunt for eggs. Remember too to have a little extra patience today with the little ones as all that extra sugar today will definitely affect their energy levels today. I know my kids (ok and so did I) indulged in a little ummm sample of chocolate for breakfast today, <br />
<br />
When you have all those photos developed and are looking for a unique scrapbooking idea then come take a peek at our <a href="http://www.loonie4scrapbooking.ca/lazer-cut-chipboard-embellishments-various-themes.html">Easter themed Ezee Pzee lazer cut designs</a> containing eggs, a bunny etc. If you are more interested in the origin of Easter and want to scrapbook the more religious aspect of it then you may be interested in this <a href="http://www.loonie4scrapbooking.ca/lazer-cut-chipboard-embellishments-various-themes-grouping-b.html">Ezee Pzee package of Easter crosses</a>.<br />
<br />
Whatever your preference we have you covered at <a href="http://www.loonie4scrapbooking.ca/">http://www.loonie4scrapbooking.ca</a> Until next time...happy easter and happy scrapping!<br />
Remember Jesus Christ gave his life to give us everything we have...don't take life for granted!<br />

We had a wonderful group of enthusiastic students that came and learned some techniques including heat embossing, photo mounting, glimmer misting, paper trimming, etc. A great big thank you to the extremely talented designer who taught the class, Lorena Sollows, and all those participants who came and created gorgeous layouts during (what for some people) was their very first scrapbooking experience. I have requested photos from the class participants to post on the blog but at this time only have two I can share with you.<br />
<br />
The first was completed by a 10 year old girl who is obviously naturally artistic but had never scrapbooked before. This young lady followed directions like a pro and had great insight into how she wanted her layout to appear. Congratulations Jessica this is an amazing layout and I am thrilled to share it with my followers/fellow scrapbookers.<br />

Too bad it loses some clarity as it is enlarged. I will have to try editing the photo to make it more clear because the detail is gorgeous. Hopefully, you can get some idea from this that the apple (aka Jessica) most assuredly gets her artistic talent from her mom:)<br />
<br />
Well there's a taste of what we did, Hopefully I will be able to add more shortly. By the way for those that are local to the Ottawa, Ontario area, Loonie4scrapbooking will be holding its 1st ever CROP on March 27th, 2011. for more info visit the facebook page for L4sb at:<br />

<br />
Harry Potter is in such high demand! I have had some people say to me, I love the paper but what can I do with it? Well one thing that comes to mind is it would make great halloween paper, especially if your child gets dressed up as a sorcerer, wizard or something of the like. What if you don't have kids? When I challenged my designer Lorena with the kit she was able to come up with the following idea:<br />
<br />
"Even though I haven't seen any movies, nor read the books, I do know one word associated with Harry Potter and that is "Muggle". You see our family Geochaches - and someone who accidentally happens upon the Geocache or who inquires about what you are doing out in the woods etc. when you are searching for a cache is called a Muggle to us Geocachers ... ah ha - instant Harry Potter connection!" Lorena Sollows<br />
<br />
So she met my challenge head on and look at what she came up with:<br />

Here is how she did it:<br />
<br />
"I used three different papers from the collection for this, and printed my story out on ivory cardstock with the font Kristen using my computer. Then distressed the paper and inked with Tim Holtz Distress Ink in Vintage Photo, and used two Glimmer mists; Coffee Shop and Wheatfields. I stitched the one paper with my sewing machine, and distressed the edges with Tim Holtz Distressing ink in Vintage Photo. I The title is Basic Grey Chip letters. The button is a vintage military button from my husband's sewing box. The ribbon trim I'm not sure about the brand". Lorena<br />

Hope this helps to inspire you!<br />

I just checked my suppliers blog and came across some new Cuttlebug stuff by Provocraft that I have pre-ordered for the store. Lots of new goodies will be coming including 9 different All in Ones, 3 new A2 embossing folders, and 3 new 5x7 embossing folders.</span><br />
<div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br />
</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">I will give you a sample here of 3 of the All in One's that will be released. These are True Love, Twinkle and Songbird, The Cuttlebug All-in-One system allows you to combine this folder with the 6 x 9 embossing plate so you are able to emboss, deboss, and letterpress images the way you want. It’s easy to rearrange coordinating designs to create unique effects for your projects.</span><br />
