Internet Scrapbooking Sites

Hey guys. It's been awhile since I posted. I haven't had too much time to scrap probably because I have been spending most of my free time surfing the internet and finding scrapbooking sites. There are so many!! I have learned many new things.

Several sites or blogs have giveaways called "blog candy." All you have to do is post a comment to the post they discuss the giveaway in and they use a random number generator to determine the winner. I have left many comments, but sadly have won nothing. I will keep trying though!!

Sometimes groups of people with blogs get together and do a "blog hop." One person starts and they post a link to another blog, which also leads to another blog, so on and so forth. There are usually several giveaways during a blog hop also.

Some of my favorite sites are listed below.

my pink stamper Great videos and giveaways
bug junkie Great cards and videos
holidays with the cricut Weekly giveaways


I also learned about a program that allows you to use your Cricut to cut true type fonts and other images without cartridges. I had read a lot about Sure Cuts a Lot or SCAL on several sites. I went ahead and purchased it and really like it. I have used it a few times and am so far pretty impressed. I still love the Cricut cartridges. I just bought Everyday Paper Dolls and Paper Doll Dress Up. I love them!

Most of my free time has been on the internet, but I did find time to do a simple page. This was Molly's first Halloween. I wanted to do a page that showcased her costume. I am working on another Halloween page that has more of a Halloween theme. I used SCAL to cut out the letters. I used the cuttlebug with a Quickuts die to make the scalloped circle.
