"TOOL TIME TUESDAY" -SCRAPBOOK APP
FOR THE TECHNOLOGICALLY SAVVY
Let me just preface this post by saying I do not have an iphone (I wish) but I am researching it & lobbying to get one.
So in honor of that tidbit...
BEHOLD... a new application you can purchase for your iphone that is made just for scrapbookers.
It is brought to you by the folks at : blueshiftsoftware.net
For anyone who enjoys scrapbooking but needs some help organizing their supplies, this application is designed to simplify your life and remove the chore of memorizing your supply inventory.
It will save you money & duplicate craft supply purchases.
It does cost $3.99 but you may find it minimal in comparison to all you will get out of the application.
Use Scrapbooker to create a visual inventory of all your supplies and equipment all with a device that fits in the palm of your hand. This application lets you enter in data to help you know what you have to work with, serving as a quick reference for planning projects. This app will pay for itself when you stop making duplicate purchases!
It Allows you to input:
-2 Images per supply, 1 for a piece of equipment which can be put in with built in camera or imported from device photo album.
-Track Name, Type, Color, Quantity, Pattern, Category, Type,Store and a custom Note for each supply
Scrapbooker also remembers the details you’ve put in previously and allows quick re-entry of common data.
Here are some images of what the application looks like on the iphone:
So if you are lucky enough to own an iphone you may want to consider owning this application for it too. Seems like a worthwhile investment.

CRAFTING TIP OF THE WEEK (#30) COMPACT CRAFT CRAP IS OUT OF CONTROL?
This week's tip is geared toward helping you store your certain types of craft items that can tend to get out of control.
You know those free photo albums you get when you have your photos developed at Wal-Mart or Target?
They can be very useful in helping you assemble a library of crafting products.
Their size is great because they do not take up too much room. It also allows for you to line up many of them in a designated area and have easy access to whatever you place in them.
The fact that they are designed for photos will ensure that anything you do store will remain well protected from acid or lignen.
Sometimes we tend to collect a lot of a particular embellishment but then have a tough time figuring out how to store it. These little albums can be just what you need. Their size can really help you to gather up many types of embellishments and store them in ONE place.
Their 4x6 size allows for the intended photo storage but you could also store your journaling pads, concert ticket stubs or movie tix in them as well.
Or if you had lots of chipboard for many occassions you could
store it according to occasions then you could assign 1 mini album for your chipboard related to celebrations, one mini album for nature chipboard, etc...
Or if you wanted to be more specific you could categorize the chipboard further by subjects such as flowers, hearts or birds. Storing one subject per mini album. Once you have all your chipboard safely stored you would label accordingly & move on.
You can store your sheets of adhesived backed bling,pearls or rhinestones by inserting them right into the sleeves. This would allow for you to keep all or most of your bling in the same place.
You could store your one of a kind embellishments. Those that are compact and you don't have too many of in your inventory.
You could store punched images and die cuts, fabric squares, quilting squares, or your small scraps of paper that you can't bear to throw away.
You can store newspaper and/or magazine articles, a special handwritten letter or ephemera handed down by family.
The idea behind this tip is to help you store those smaller, flat embellishments and allow you to keep them grouped together to help save you time, space and money. It will also allow for better cataloging and categorizing of your stash.
These free, mini albums look nice and tidy lined up beside each other and don't take up much room at all. So whether you have a large craft studio or scrap on your dining room table, this tip can work for you.
I hope you give it a try.
If you do please drop me a line to let me know how it worked for you.
Happy Crafting!

Kraft Card
This one is by far my favorite.
This one has a dual purpose.
On the inside, I attached an embellishment designed to double as a bookmark with velcro.
So it is again a card & a gift in one.
I love it when that happens!

FABULOUS FRIDAY FIND-PICNIK WEBSITE
This week I found a terrific site that allows you many photo editing options for free. It is a site recently acquired by Google called:
PICNIK
If you find you are letting a lot of your digital photos just sit in folders on your computer because you are not motivated to print & play then maybe the ability to give your photos a boost may get you going.
According to the PICNIK website, it is described as a "fast, fun, easy to use and powerful set of photo editing tools for editing, sharing and printing images using any Internet browser on any computer platform... also integrated with a wide variety of websites like Picasa Web Albums, Facebook, Flickr, Yahoo! Mail and Photobucket. With Picnik, you can edit your photos wherever they are from wherever you are."
You get many free photo editing options which include:
Fix your photos in just one click
Use advanced controls to fine-tune your results
Crop, re-size, and rotate in real-time
Tons of special effects, from artsy to fun
Astoundingly fast, right in your browser
Awesome fonts and top-quality type tool
Lots of shapes from hand-picked designers
Works on Mac, Windows, and Linux
Perhaps easiest of all- No download required, nothing to install
Did I mention all this was FREE?
The quality of this editing program seems better than that of a few others out there I have tried but don't take my word for it. See for yourself.
As people continue to invest more time & money in digital cameras, frames, equipment and even digital picture taking classes, I thought this easy & free program offered by PICNIK could soon end up a favorite go to tool for your digital photo editing needs.
