Hi everyone

I had received an email that disturbed me greatly.

I was informed before this that if you clicked attached videos at the end of my videos, some of the videos had NOTHING to do with papercrafting. I was told there was R rated material.

I posted a disclaimer to NOT click any links after my videos so you don’t get taken to these sites.

That is why I post the videos to MY BLOG- so no one sees what else may be on the major video website, of which I have NO CONTROL over.

I have NO control over what is linked to my video. I specifically have to put in tags and list if content is appropriate for all (obviously my site is very clean as is its content. ) ALL my videos are How To and craft related.

I didn’t think anything “dirty” would ever get attached.

So I got another email……..

One viewer did click the links-despite the disclaimer, and was brought to some very bad stuff. VERY BAD!

She was upset and said angry that “I” would link to that material.

“I” am not linking to that material and had no idea this stuff was getting attached to ME somehow.

My last videos linked to other stamping related videos and quite franlky should be linking to MY past videos or other stamp how to’s not X rated stuff.

I am outraged and upset this has happened. I have promptly emailed the people at Veoh about this matter and questioning why MY content would link to THAT content as it is unrelated

So PLEASE if you watch my videos HERE from Veoh-DON’T click any links!! I have no ideo what is on there or why, just know I am doing what I can to fix that.

In the meantime I may not even resume videos, as youtube is too restrictive.

Im sorry if anyone was offended, I do believe Veoh owes us all an apology. I should not even have to worry about such a thing happening.

Again Im sorry and please know I did NOT intentionally put any of that smut to follow my videos. I was just trying to find the best and easiest way to better share with the world (without it being UNDER 10 minutes) what I love to do and this happens.

So Im done with that.

No more.

Sorry again.

I was informed that if you read my blog through Google Reader, News Gatoe and a few other sources, you cannot SEE the video with that program.

So in order to view them you would have to visit my actual blog to view it.

Thanks

I hope you all enjoy today’s video.

NOTE: If you click ON the thumbnails AFTER the video it takes you to the Veoh site. Some of the content there I am told is “R” rated and you may not want to do that around young children. So if you just watch the video here on my blog, and avoid the thumnails you should be OK. Not sure WHY they don’t have ONLY stamp related videos pop up, but I guess some aren’t.

You won’t want to miss this one, let me tell you 😀

I had SO much fun making this box. I’m definitely getting the hang of this I think 😀 I’m so excited that the editing process is getting so much easier!
You’ll have to let me know what you think. I work really hard to get these done, so I hope they are helpful. All in all they are still time consuming, but I have enjoyed it.

I’m also wide open to things you want to see in the future 😀

NOTE: This is the type of project you need to SEE, so you get HOW it goes together. Too hard to “explain”, so I am not providing instructions here. They are all on the video. Write down the steps/measurements. The hard work has already been done for you-the design part!

I have been REALLY busy with my family, so thank you for understanding, and I hope the video provides you with all you need to make this. It’s nice to be busy for a “good” reason. Not due to illness. My brother and I have grown closer as we grow older and the birth of his daughter has made us closer than ever. I feel so blessed to have him in my life and his little addition. Valerie has been an amazing mom too. She’s a natural. Gabriella is a REALLY good baby so far too. I would love to just take her home with me and keep her for myself 😀 Guess this is the next best thing! LOL!

Versatility Box

I was very excited by this one 😀 The finished size is 3 1/2 squared by 2 1/2 inches tall. 

I call it the versatility box due to the opening you can create to fit a variety if items!

This one will hold a little $1 flower pot!

Did you think a little gift could be so cute?

Here is a closer view of the little pot!

Many would like to think of it as a “cupcake” style box. I develop my own idea of this style and shared it via video just for you.

I HOPE you give it try!

INFO!

The following info is being provided for you due to the MANY comments and emails I have received. I am not affiliated with this company AT ALL (in other words I get nothing for promoting them! LOL! Although I wish I did get some adhesive) but I love their prices and SPEEDY service!! Seriously top notch. The shipping is a bit high, but I try to order as much as I can afford up front to make it worth it.

SOOOOOO FYI-the large tape runner you see in my videos is called an ATG Gun. I have the Red 714.

 I purchase mine HERE for ONLY $41.69 (Don’t choke! Its SOOOO worth the $ you save on adhesive, and that is the cheapest place ever found.)

I used the GOLD 1/4 inch adhesive with my gun found HERE! Its photo safe. You get 36yds of tape for ONLY $3.49! You can’t beat that.

So that is all for today.

I hope to get back into the swing of things after this release.

Thank you ALL so much for the kind words, comments and support here and for my Timeless Template line. You all make every minute I spend doing ALL of this so worth my while! Just knowing you can inspire ONE person is amazing!

SO SMOOCHES to you all!

Sorry about the HUGE photos! Im workin with a new editing program.

YIKES! I had no idea they’d be so large when editing.

I want to stop in here fast to announce my new niece was born!

Congratulations to my brother Rob and Valerie who did an AMAZING job pushing through her SPEEDY labor of only 4 hours!!!

I have some better photos but don’t have ANY time because I am going back to the hospital to drive them home and spend the night helping them settle in!

Welcome to the world!

8lbs 8 oz, 20 inches long

All I can say is I’m in love with her!

I’ll be back with lots of better photos and stuff later. The right after birth photo does her no justice!

Don’t miss the 2 posts for today. Each one peeks a NEW! My Timeless Template idea 😀

Oh and if you missed yesterday (another 2 poster) scroll down!

Today’s post features a special new set from Papertrey Ink called Friends ‘Til the End. 

I am in absolute LOVE with this set, and have made several things with it already (haven’t been able to share—>YET!) I love the flower images, and of course the sentiments are perfection!! All I can say is its simply gorgeous. It could easily become my favorite!!

I like that the flowers can be colored, or just stamped as is. You can also choose a variety of techniques with it as well.

The exciting news is that this set is sold as a kit!!! This means you get all the components you need to create several amazing cards in ONE kit!

As you will see today—-> Go to Nichole’s Blog, each design team member has taken ONLY supplies you receive with your kits, to create versatile card/layouts to get your ideas jump started! Now you can even get together with friends to stamp and already have a bunch of great ideas ready to go!

 I think this is an exciting venture for Papertrey Ink.

Genuine Friend

Another view of my card.

I LOVE how it turned out, and I love my layout! LOL!

I’m in love with the colors in the kit, as they have been my recent favorite color combo! Raspberry Fizz, Ripe Avocado, Chocolate Chip and the kit neutral Vintage Cream.

I created a fun and SIMPLE card using ALL the elements of the kit! This would be an easy one to mass produce for your PSF’s! (pretend stamping friends-aka online friends you never met but LOVE!). Just stamp the flowers on vintage cream then cut up into panels. I need to take my own advice here!

I had fun using this Kit so I made ONE more to share today! You know I get stamping, then get carried away!!

You’re a true friend

I loved having just one large flower stamped on a portion of the panel. I used the same scallop layer, just mixed it up a bit for a different look. I also like the friend stamped on both color blocks.

Which one do you like best?

I love the top one to be honest. But this is nice too 😀

Well go check out all the excitement on Nichole’s blog.

Tomorrow starts my INSANE week of samples using my newest release of My Timeless Templates ©!!!! AND the first peek of the Papertrey Ink countdown. I have to say I have the CUTEST project -ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OK that is just MY opinion but I think you will flip! Oh and guess what? Its all step by step via video for you too!

What do you think it is?

HINT: I’m over the moon!

I LOVE this card 😀

It was made before my mojo went on the fritz! LOL!

The colors are just so cheery to me. Perfect teacher of back to school card.

I am praying for a day of “quiet” while the kids are ALL in school and back to perfect health, so I can get some MOMMY time. Lately I’ve either been ill or running everywhere in creation for everyone.

I know it sounds “selfish” but we ALL need to do something for ourselves. I’m a firm believer in that. When mom is stressed then it takes a toll on everyone!

My motto is “Do something to make yourself happy-everyday!”

Sometimes that is just impossible. I am determined to get ONE day this week to get done everything I need to.

OK onto the card

Creating a “scene” was super easy because I used the elements in 3 Lizzie Anne Designs stamp sets Winter Release with some masking-

The bus/sentiment-Things that go

House and tree-Welcome Home

Girl/books-School Days

I then just drew on my “street” and made some grass. Sponged a sky-and was done!

OK now I need to run. Lots of running around to do.

Thanks for stopping by. Tomorrow I WILL have a video for the MFT Blog Hop!

Till then

OH boy! Just what I need!!

I cannot send email :C

I thought it was just me, but saw a news report that the Fairpoint takeover of Verizon did NOT go as planned, and many of the customers are experiencing email issues :C

Myself included.

So I will not be able to send anything till this is cleared up. I could just scream right now-you have no idea! LOL!

So if anyone needs to get in touch with me please know I can READ your email but cannot respond back

I guess contact me through www.splitcoaststampers.commy user name is mytime

Or if you belong to a member company of any of the design teams I am on usually there is email through that message board.

This is not my week

I’m drowning over here! LOL! So much to do. Tomorrow is filled with doctor’s appointments for the kids. Seriously have 4 different appointment. Can you say CRAZY!!!

I do have things to share though-

Thank you so much for all the lovely comments and sharing your fave templates with me! I have lots of ideas and enjoy sharing them with all of you. Wait till you see some of the template videos I have planned (I know Im a tease but Im sorry-I have “work” to do first!)

The winners of the Papertrey Ink sets have been chosen! You can view them HERE! Looks like Cindy S was the winner from here! Congrats to everyone who won 😀

2nd-All that scraps release was today! So head on over for the release party tonight –info HERE! 😀

AND as you can see- no video for you today. It was one of those days. I wasn’t feeling good, and wasn’t really up to it, but I started anyway- then my video batteries died. When I did get going again the kids would interrupt OR the phone would ring. Then it was the dog! Then the batteries died AGAIN! (it only lasts like an hour or 2, and with so many interruptions…..) I’m still not feeling good so I’m just taking a breather! I should definitely have one for you for the MFT Blog Hop! So no worries. Only a few more days! I have stuff to share but again, just not feeling good at all.

I got a new email [email protected]  Verizon got bought out. Good times. Now I get to change everything. I had no idea it was changing-it just stopped working :C Guess I should READ my mail! LOL!!!!

 I also got a new computer so I have to figure out new video software, and photo editing stuff.

I was the WOW! Guest Blogger for Diana @ the Memory Crafter! I’ll share my thoughts on TAC stamps when I post the 2 cards you see on her blog here this week.

I have more to share but can’t think!

I PROMISE everything will be well worth the wait!!!!

Thanks for stopping by 😀
