Happy New Year!!!

  January 01, 2016      3 comments   Edit
Hola Everyone! I hope you all had a safe and wonderful holiday! I am looking forward to this year as it will be filled with lots of happy events; both crafty and personal. One event will be my oldest daughter's wedding in June. I will be posting the crafty side of planning her nuptials. But for now, I want to share a card I made for my future son-in-law's Big 30. His birthday is January 1st!!! Ahhhhh...I know what it is to have a holiday birthday as mine is Christmas Eve. 

 For this card I used the brand new MISTI that my daughter gave me for my birthday. I am sooooooo in love with it!!! What a difference it makes when making an image pop! I am glad that it is part of my stamping arsenal. The stamp set is from the AWESOME Vanessa of V's Sweet Ideas. 

 My future son-in-law is a Pittsburgh Steelers fan (we still love him anyway...lol) and I wanted to create a card using the Steelers colors: black and yellow. I started the design with one suit surrounded by yellow suits. Initially, I was going to color the suit in the middle, but changed my mind once I saw the yellow suits around it.  I knew the suit needed a "pop" so I chose to color in the tie only with gold Wink of Stella. I cut the the sentiment separating the "Suit Up" from "It's Your Birthday" and stamped them on the card. 


For the inside of the card, I used black and yellow in addition to the number 30! I will write a note before I send it off! 



Thanks for taking a peek! Have an AWESOME rest of your day!

Before you Push "START BROADCAST"....

  September 30, 2015      3 comments   Edit




Tonight on our TABLE SCRAPS SCOPE, Ruckus and I discussed how to ensure that your public Periscope Broadcast is enjoyable for you and your viewers! In the few minutes used looking for an item or playing with your phone, you can lose followers!  That would be a shame! Here are a few things to check BEFORE YOU PUSH “START BROADCAST”……

*Spit out the gum. No one whats to see or hear you chew! 
*Bio-DO NOT BE AN EGG HEAD! Have a profile Pic and a short 
  description. Viewers want to know who you are and what you are about.
*Title: Keep it Short-Especially if will be Tweeted out. Long Titles 
  often lead to errors on Twitter. Be sure to use hashtags & emojis, 
  as they are searchable on Twitter. 
*Have info that is not in your bio, written out: website, products,
  stores, etc. That way you can have it handy for your viewers to 
  screenshot! 
*Have a full battery. You do not want to get cut off in the middle of your broadcast!
*Use 4G or Wi-Fi Connection
*Good lighting/Sound. Your viewers do not want to see you
   broacast in the dark! 
*Turn off ALL SOUND notifications or Use AIRPLANE MODE
*If you are using a 2nd device…turn off/notifications
*On ios devices, have your back camera facing something 
  interesting as this will become your thumbnail. On Android 
  devices, you may chose the front or back camera to start your 
  cast! Either way-make sure to start with an interesting shot!
*Decide if you are going to show your location and/or tweet your 
  stream
*Use the bathroom prior to your broadcast
