I learned how important it is to pay attention to the space around your subject (or in scrapbooking, the items on our pages) while learning a little about how to paint. Then I learned what the spacing between items communicates while learning about logos.

You don't have to be a Paperclipping Member to watch.

We have another free episode today. If you have an over-abundance of tags in your scrap stash, this week's episode will give you a fun idea for using them.

While there is nothing wrong with a vacation album or minibook that simply highlights the trip's activities, there are some trips that add up to more than just that list. Some vacations impact you at a deeper level than the exciting agenda can show.

For today's free episode, I'll share a vacation minibook I made for a trip like that. I'll share how I found connections among my memories of the trip that led to a theme which I carried through the entire book. Many of us will have family vacations to document this summer, and I hope this episode gives you a new way to think about how you can approach your album or mini.

You can download the video here.

Here is the free trailer for today's episode of Paperclipping for our Members. This episode is all about color and how to mix your own colors from acrylic paint using just a handful of base hues. Even if you're not into paint, this episode should help you with color in general. One thing to note is that video is not able to pick up the subtleties of color that our eyes see, so you'll have to rely more on what I explain than what you can see in the video during some of the color mixing portions.

How often do you stare at your table, with no idea how you'll scrapbook a set of pictures? I used to do that all the time, and it was the one thing that sometimes made me not want to scrap. Fortunately that hasn't happened in years, and today I'll show you why.

Today's episode is for Paperclipping Members but if you don't have a Membership you can watch the trailer we've provided above.

For this episode I show you the steps to take to make a window with a grouping of photos and to create a flower planter underneath that window. The idea is to create the feeling of peeking into my kitchen window to see the activity going on in there. Not only will you see the steps it takes to build the planter, I also share a couple of artistic and design principles and concepts.

I apologize for not having had the time to post a picture of the layout featured in the video. I'll try to come back and add it later. Want to see the trailer and all the other free tutorials?
