My husband and I took a trip back to the beautiful state of New Hampshire this past week. If that didn’t get us ready for fall, then nothing could. It was breathtaking! They told us that we missed the “peak” foliage season by about a week. If that wasn’t the peak, then I can’t imagine how beautiful the “peak” season is. The leaves were so vibrant and the air was so crisp. It rained and drizzled a lot, but that did not dampen our spirits. In fact, the rain made everything shine and glow even more. Well, enough about our trip, and onto scrapbook topics.

I have been a part of a Scrapbook Club for over 13 years and each year myself and the other 10-11 ladies in the club take a weekend and head up to Lisa’s family cabin in the beautiful mountains of Utah. We went up the 2nd weekend in September and so I did our next podcast with some of the members of our club.

I hope you enjoy this podcast. It was fun for me and the ladies were nervous at first, but then they were able to see how easy it really is and they had fun too. In a future podcast I will go into more depth concerning Scrapbook Clubs and how to get started and the rules that we have used over the years. So sit back and enjoy a short interview with a few of my friends from my Scrapbook Club.

Scrapbook Embellishments are our favorite part of creating a scrapbook page layout.  There are endless possibilities and we will discuss a few great products and ideas here in our scrapbook podcast episode #6.

Here is the link that Cheri talked about concerning the many great embellishments you can create with silk flowers .

Cheri also talked about a darling snowflake you can create using glitter and lace.  Make sure you use scrapbook glitter!  Go thru your home and find items that you can recycle to make fun embellishments.  Cheri gives several ideas on this subject.

Melissa told us how to adhere our scrapbook embellishments using Velcro.  She also talked about metal embellishments such as spiral clips, safety pins, brads, eyelets, etc.

Carli then ended the podcast by talking about punch setters (Springlet and Karen Foster).  Also be sure you check out the new Xyron Design Runner and all of the new and fun decorative tapes .

All of the products that we have talked about can be purchased at JoAnn’s – just click on the JoAnn box on the right.

Make sure you join us for another educational podcast where we will be interviewing Garrett Pierson (Son and Brother), our podcast guru.  You will be learning about many fun podcasts and more in-depth info about podcasting.   Have a great day and an even better summer!
