Using Decorative Scissors in Your Scrapbooking

Posted on by

I recently had the opportunity to check out one of my friend scrapbooking projects-when flipping through the pages of her book one of the first things that stood out to me was her use of decorative scissoring throughout the book. I own quite a few different pairs of decorative scissors. While I do pull them out to decorate books every now and then I have never used them to the level that she did-and it looked fantastic. Decorative scissors like these can be great for creating edging around background pieces of paper. If you’re new to using scissors in your … Continue reading →

Scrapbooking Books make for great inspiration

Posted on by

I often find that every few scrapbooks I create I start to get a little stagnant on new and different ideas for creating them. I’ve come of with lots of great ideas that ‘work” but doing them over and over again seems to make those things that looked amazing when they were first created start to look a little ordinary. In talking this weekend with a scrapbooking friend, she tools me she likes to pick up a new scrapbooking book every few months or so for new inspiration. Her and a few friends also share the books, so they can … Continue reading →

Just this past week I was reading an … Continue reading →

How To Set Up A Firewall

In recent blogs I have talked a lot about computer security and what you need to do to keep you and your family safe from spyware and computer viruses.

If you are running Windows XP, here are instructions on how to set up a firewall on your computer: 1. Go to Start (Bottom right hand corner of the screen) 2. Go to Settings 3.

Laptop vs. Desktop

Do you have a laptop or a desktop computer? I recently purchased a laptop computer which I absolutely love. Before I bought my previous computer I was forced with the decision “Laptop or Desktop?” I love the portability of laptops, but at the time I decided the slightly less expensive desktop computer was a better choice. Desktops are easier to upgrade, have larger hard drives and are a little more difficult to steal. At the time I made my purchase I lived in a college dorm and was concerned about the possibility of my roommate leaving our door unlocked one … Continue reading →

The shoes are also eqipt with a “Panic Button” that a child can press if they are in a dangerous situation and need help. When I first saw these shoes I thought they were a fabulous idea.
