The Cutting Cafe and Photoshop Elements

Hi Everyone,
What a nice weekend. Did a little gift wrapping, watching TV and playing in my scrap room. However over the weekend my throat was feeling a little funny and today I just feel blah…

Today’s project is how to using The Cutting Cafe files with Photoshop Elements. I get lots of questions on how to change colors and sizes, so I thought this would be helpful….

Monday Mojo-Video

Happy Monday,
I’m so happy to report my crafty mojo has made a return this past weekend. Woot! Woot!

Check out this new set from The Cutting Cafe’. I’m in love with the Welcome Home set….As soon as I saw this set, I thought….Bright Bold Colors. Out came my Echo Park, Walk in the Park paper collection.

I was watching a video by OkieLadyBug this weekend. She did a little sewing tutorial and since I’m terrible at sewing I decided to practice. Check out Okie’s video here. I’m really really pleased on how straight I sewed on today’s card.

Here’s todays video…

Here’s a card I made using the Bingo Card Set from The Cutting Cafe‘.

You know I’m addicted to pattern paper and I needed to incorporate it somehow in my card. So I took a piece of old K&Co. valentine paper that I had in my stash, cut it down to 8-1/2 x 11 and printed out the Bingo Card. The bingo card fits perfectly on a standard A2 size card.

Here is today’s video:
