Have you heard about this?

I know you probably get tons of scrapbooking newsletters, but I had to share what I've learned in case you don't get these!

The first one is that ScrapJazz.com has been acquired by one of my favorite sites, Scrapbook.com! I always liked the articles in the ScrapJazz newsletter, but now they've teamed up with a scrapbook-powerhouse and the results should be some really great stuff for us!

One of these is the current sale on the Scrap Tutor scrapbook lessons CD's OR online classes! I personally own both Volume 1 and 2 and now they're on sale! You can get both volumes for the cost of one! If you aren't familiar with the product, they have videos and tips on how to create the scrapbook techniques you see in every magazine. I love the tips and photos of how to create things step by step. You have to check them out!

OK, now if you love specials, head back over to Scrapbook.com because they are giving away Glue Dots with every $20 purchase. I LOVE Glue Dots!! Now, they come in a more easy to use format than the rolls they used to come on. I love using them for buttons, especially.

Well, that brings to mind a good question of the week...

What is your favorite non-traditional scrapbook embellishment AND adhesive?? Kind of 2 questions, but they are related. What I mean by non-traditional would be like bottle caps, keys, paper clips, etc.

Oh, and just so you know what's going on, from now on, I am just going to be sending you an email notice that my newsletter is up online. My subscriber click-through rates have really gone down and I think it's because SPAM filters are eating them up! Anytime emails talk about F-R E-E stuff, unless I type it in an unusual way, there's a good chance SPAM filters think the email is junk. So, now you know what's going on!

Hope you have a great week!

Heidi sent me this idea via email:

My favorite non traditional embellishment and adhesive are one and the same! I sew, with my real sewing machine, on my pages and cards. I use this technique alot and it adds so much! I can use all different colors thread and stitches to embellish it one way or another. For instance, I made a thank you card for my son's T-Ball coach
and I sewed the edge with red stitches that resembled the stitches on a baseball. I use stitches to adhere ribbon, which can be resistent to other methods of stick.
