Hi Everyone,
It's the final video in the series. I hope you found the series helpful and please don't hesitate to ask questions. I'm here to help and will try my best to answer your questions...
Hi Everyone,
As requested....
I hope this helps all you new Gypsy Owners with learning your awesome new scrappy toy...
Here is video #1 in the Series:
Please note that I will have the series linked in one post at the end and I'll also have them available under Video Series and Cricut at the top of my blog :0) Enjoy
Updated to answer a few questions: 1. What paper did I use? Neenah Cardstock, it's my favorite when working with markers like ProMarker and Copic. 2. Can you refill ProMarkers? I checked around and I don't see that you can refill these markers. 3. How do I like them compared to Copic? To be honest these are right up there with Copic and the price is much less. $1.49 as compared to Copic at $3.95 for Sketch or $2.79 for Caio.
Hi All,
So a few weeks ago I was contact by Letraset, the company that makes ProMarkers to try them out. I've seen a video here and there of others using them and thought they looked pretty cool. They are really awesome. I love love love the fine point for coloring, I feel like I have more control over the marker.
Here's a video on a stamped image I was working on...
Here is a card I made using the image I colored with the ProMarkers....
Supplies:
Image Supplies: Jilian Roberts-Stampavie Clear Stamp, Momento Black Ink
Happy Wednesday,
Today feels like a Thursday, not a Wednesday....
I was playing with the upgrade in ilife 11'. It has a few more features, but not too much that I would use in my videos. Great stuff for home videos though :) The iphoto update is amazing and I can do so much more...
Today's video is a tutorial on how to make your own paper rosettes. Tim Holtz has a die for making rosettes but this one just uses a score board and border punch. Enjoy....
I'm working on the list of all your video suggestions. If anyone has any suggestions please feel free to contact me (above link). I think Gypsy will need to be high on the list :) Thanks for all the comments and suggestions. Have a great Wednesday :)
Hi Everyone,
Oh my goodness my allergies have been terrible. If I sneeze one more time my head might just pop off....
I ordered the new ILife 11' program for my computer and it should be here today :) It's an upgrade to my video/photo editing software on my MAC. I can't wait to play...so you may just have a video tomorrow..... Speaking of videos, I'm going to start making more tutorial type videos along with my usual card videos. This is where I need your help...What do you want to see? What do you want to learn? Is there a particular technique series you would like to see? Is there a technique you would like to learn more about? Comment below, Contact me above, I want to hear your ideas....
Today's card was a just for fun card. I ordered some new Paper Trey Ink stuff and wanted to try out the Victorian Lace border die. I used the border die to make the rosette.
supplies: October Afternoon Thrift Shop Paper, Paper Trey Ink: Kraft Cardstock, Fine Linen Cardstock, Terracotta Tile Stitched Ribbon, Victorian Lace Border Die, Black Button, Twine, Fillable Frames #9, Fillable Frames #9 Die.
Have a great day....and can't wait to hear your ideas...
Happy Thursday,

Hi Everyone,
I've been going through some of my stamps and organizing them. I had about 50 CD cases of the $1 clear stamps that I've had forever and needed to do something with since I'm running out of room on my CD rack. I was surfing YouTube for some ideas and found THIS. SOOOO I spent some time organizing and moved the $1 stamps to binders. I'm actually thinking about getting everything in binders now....I'll post more when I'm done....
While I was working on my stamps I felt the need to play with my Copic's. Here is a video of some coloring. Nothing special just a quick video....
Hi Everyone
I hope you are all having a great weekend. Yesterday was the first Saturday in ages that we didn't have something planned. We stayed home all day. Guess what....We're doing it again today :) It's getting cooler so it's nice to just stay home and enjoy the fall....
Hi Everyone,
About two weeks ago Generations Crafting had a great deal on the Basic Grey Eerie collection. The kit had everything in it that was available in the Eerie Collection. It was a limited time offer and I'm thrilled I got it. There was enough in the kit to make three or 4 mini's...I had so much fun working on it last weekend, it was so nice and relaxing to sit and play and mess with stuff.....I'm listing the supplies I used below, but there are so many that I'll have to link to them at another time (It's 6:30am and I'm getting ready for work, so time is limited).

I really need to start working on a new batch of cards for my stash. I've been going through them like crazy and can't seem to keep up....I think this weekend I'll have a card making marathon. Between family and work I go through them like crazy.
Hi Everyone,
What a fantastic weekend. The weather was absolutely beautiful....Saturday we watched one of our nieces play soccer and then did a little halloween custom shopping. Ethan decided to be a ninja this year....
Today's my Design Team project for BlueMoonScrapping. I used the 7 Gypsy receipt holder, I think this is gonna look great in my kitchen with pictures or notes (or receipts). I tried not to really glue anything down to the tray since I'm thinking I can certainly change out the papers for holidays. I hope you like it...
Hi Everyone,
It's back to our regular projects. I don't know about you but World Card Making Day got me pumped and I'm in the crafting mood....Last night I pulled out all my supplies to start a Halloween mini album (I'll film a video or two as I go) and after WCMD I pulled out my Cri-Kits supplies...
