Stretch Those Supplies

August 5th, 2009

Hi Everyone,  Christyn here for my first blog post as a Kraft girl.  I’m so excited to be part of the team I made a video to share with you on one of my new favorite techniques.  I’m sure you’ve noticed that paper lace is everywhere and the big manufactures are always bringing on new versions of this supply.  Since I want to be able to save my money for the fun stuff (aka all that sparkles and shines) I figured out ways to create the same look using scraps and border punches.

I’m just learning the ins and outs of iMovie, but I think you’ll get the gist here…

So now you have some ideas to play around with as you wait for your August kit to hit your doorstep, I know it’s hard to wait, but it’s sooooo worth it. Don’t forget to add your creations to the flickr gallery!  Double brownie points if you use one of these techniques with your August goodies and post to the site.
