My Top 10 Paperclipping Episodes

Earlier this year I splashed out to get a Paperclipping Membership. I jumped on a special deal so got a whole bundle of goodies together. It was well worth the money, and I just renewed my membership. Every month you get 2 new video tutorials and occasionally Noell sends members other special goodies. Plus, now I'm a non-schmo... (PRT inside joke there)

Every month I look forward to the new videos and I've almost watched all 170 videos in the library. Noell has a unique was of explaining things.

Today I'm sharing with you my top 10 Episodes.

I'm mostly a digital scrapbooker but I look forward to the videos and always learn something new! Noell's a great presenter with a fresh take on design principles.

Let’s start with my all time favourite episode. I used this to help create Emily’s words book!

1. Paperclipping 150 – Task Batch Minibooking

2. Paperclipping 162 – A Mini-Book in Two Hours

3. Paperclipping 163 – Layer and Texture with Color

4. Vintage Supplies for Modern Pages – Paperclipping 180

5. Paperclipping 149 – Repurpose Your Old Items

6. Paperclipping 152 – One Product, Multiple Ways and Styles

7. Easier Intricate Mini-Books – Paperclipping 174

8. Paperclipping 147 – Fix Your Journaling Disasters

9. Paperclipping 145 – Gather Your Old Products

10. Paperclipping 142 – Scrapbooking with Everyday Items

As you can see I love Noell’s minibooks, they inspire me to create.

Art Journalling: June One Little Word Sneak Peek

After hearing Julie Fei-Fan Balzar on the Paperclipping Roundtable I’ve been thinking about getting back into some fine art. Then Ali Edwards prompt for One Little Word in June was all about colour, texture and art – so I had to try.

Here’s a sneak peek of my partially finished work using Derwent Metallic Pencils and Art Masking Fluid. I’m completing the rest of it today and will be posting more for the One Little Word Blog Hop on the 1st of July.

I signed up for Yesterday and Today with Ali Edwards

After listening to Pile on Ali, I was thinking I’d really love to take Yesterday and Today at Big Picture Classes. Here’s more about it from the Big Picture blog

Yesterday + Today
Ali Edwards | author and blogger
When we asked our BPC community to share their favorite workshops of all time, Ali Edward's Yesterday + Today is at the top of the list. We are therefore delighted to bring Ali and Yesterday + Today back to kick off our 2011 4Experts series. This information and inspiration packed course is dedicated to helping you tell your story, past and present. The New Year is brimming with fresh-start motivation and year-gone-by reflection and Ali will help you recognize and commemorate both as you compile a self-affirming life project that celebrates you in the context of your everyday life. Look forward to infusing your 2011 with all the things Ali believes in practicing: words + photos = scrapbooking, embracing imperfection, and going with the flow. You'll even tackle the tough questions like, "What stories are really going to matter 10, 20, 30 years from now?"
Join us in January, February and March for a remarkable journey with Ali Edwards. You can learn more about Ali at aliedwards.com.
Audio Message from Ali:  

After much thought, we decided to click on buy! I’ve already heard some of my online friends are taking the class, and of course in Pile on Ali Izzy wants us all to join in, so no doubt I’ll meet a lot of Roundtable listeners in the class. It should be fun!
This is my first “paid for” class at Big Picture, but I’ve participated in the Big Ideas Festival and done a couple of free classes and I like their style, so I can’t wait! Want to join me?

I’m excited to start the class, and I’ve just downloaded pre-workshop PDFs. I hope to blog about my progress on the class. So stay tuned people!
