OMG! I Made A Video!

Hi Everyone,
I love my 2013 Valentines so much that I made a video of how to make them. Think you might want to watch it? Ok, you can watch it as long as you can put up with my scratchy voice and poor editing technique! I hope you like it and I really hope you give this quick Valentine a try.  I mentioned in the video that I saw a envelope like this from a die and I could not remember which company it was. I retraced my steps and the picture I saw was from lifestyle crafts.  Once I see a picture it is easy to create the digi cut for it. I used my MTC to weld hearts to a trapezoid to a rectangle to create the shape.  Adding the score lines is easy with MTC. Here is the Video.

 Let me know if you have any questions and thanks for stopping by, Lysa

Still Here - Just Lost in CA2

Hi Everyone,
Wow, September is so O-V-E-R! Really you should see my house! We are completely Halloween! For the last week or so I have been putting away summer and bringing Halloween down from the attic. In addition to work and decorating I have been playing with my new Craft Artist 2 software. In a word, AWESOME! I wish I could just sit here and play. Let me tell you what my favorite parts are. First off I love the .pdf import. Yes, even though I have other software that does that. I like this the best. You can really get some great graphic in that format so its a winner in my book.  The .svg import/export is also a fav.  Thanks to the Daisy Trail forum we are all learning the best way to use that feature.  Also I love the punch. I have so many of my Stampin 'Up punches in .svg format so that is just a great crafty addition for me to use along with all my Stampin 'Up digi files.  Now as you know I don't make videos often. I always want to but time gets in the way.  I wanted to show everyone how to flatten a graphic that has multiple layers and I really could not explain with words so I took a shot with this screen recording software.  Please my voice was enough to make the cat run.  Anyway I hope it helps someone along the way.  Here it is!

Again, I am not a video maker!  Have a great day.  Check back soon as I hope to start posting my Halloween goodies soon.

Rory Makes A Crafty Video

Rory has been asking to make a Youtube Video.  Well, on the fly last night while dying Easter eggs we decided to have some fun.  Sam (Rory's Mom) came home from work with a horrible cold and after dinner we sent her up stairs where she could wallow in a sick bed and get some well needed rest.  Now of course that leaves the three of us to have some (also, well needed) fun.  I had my camera out to take some still shots and before we knew we were making our on the fly little video.  As you can tell we took no time to prep.  Paul and I had a great time watching Rory and we all had fun dying the eggs.  Wishing all a very Happy Easter and thanks for stopping by.

The Diaper Cake Video

I had to make this my first video post. This video is on you tube without the music. I get requests for sound so I thought this would be a great starting point for the blog. I have been making these cakes since 1987 and I still make them to this day. I have done so many but this classic pooh was always one of my favs. And notice the tag, to me it is the best part. I have other diaper cake pics and hope to upload them soon. Hope you enjoy the video and thanks for visiting.
