This is a great tutorial and actually uses several different techniques that would be good for a beginner to intermediate card maker. I do however caution you, turn your sound down, there is no talking or music really, but, there is a bell of some kind that is really loud and annoying.
This is a good video to show at your next card making class.

Many of us scrapbookers will be doing some type of scrapbooking or craft project over the July 4th Holiday, which is one reason I thought this post would be great to highlight how to layout your photos on your page.

Don't take this the wrong way…I think the contests are great. They allow women who are really passionate about their scrapbooking, a way to not only define themselves and their style, but they allow for them to be published also. What I find wrong about this, is that I have personally seen the struggle that many of these women go through to submit their entries year after year, and quite honestly are overlooked because someone else is more popular (it seems) or their design may seem more hip. I have watched many designers who one year, look like they are obviously in the running, and the next year, they are great designs but, just aren't quite up there with the others.
Some designers, are more deserving of the awards…I am not saying that they are not..but, each of these contests, seem to have a few (or more) designers that enter the contest every year, and who are very well liked, yet, year after year they are not chosen. I do not take personal offense to not being chosen, because honestly, I have never entered any of these contests. I have however had a design team (with a former partner and our website) who every month returned awesome designs! I have girlfriends and acquaintance's who submit to these yearly contests and I watch (literally right in front of them or over speaker phone) as they spend countless hours creating these magnificent pieces of work.
I propose that we all should have our fine art work published!
