Tip of the Week
CROP
A crop is an event where scrapbookers meet to work on their scrapbooks, share tools and techniques.
PUNCH ART
A decoration made up from punchies. The components may or may not have anything to do with the final art. For example, a flower may be made from overlapping heart shaped punchies in a circle with a small circle punchie in the centre. Freehand cut a stalk and place leaf punchies along it. Punch art can be simple to quite elaborate.
PAPER PIECING
The use of cut out shapes to produce a picture. Similar to applique, pieced paper pictures can range from very simple to complex, and can be a page decoration or constitute an entire layout.
STICKERS
Self adhesive printed paper. Stickers for Scrapbooking should be marked as such. They should be acid free, and lignin free and have an adhesive which will not dry out or seep out around the edges. Never place a sticker on a photo. Even if the sticker is safe you are still doing something that may be irreversible.
And the last word this week is on the most important thing we do in our scrapbooks to pass the fun on to others:
