I thought I would address a few inquiries that I have had of late! This is in lieu of posting another PagePlate insert right now but, I have something up my sleeve! Come back later and I'll give ya a looky-see! It will NOT be a "Fall" insert for my PagePlates. You wanna know why?------Well, it's 'cause I screwed up the coloring so bad that I am not comfortable with posting it. I mean total yuckiness! Maybe, just maybe, it'll be an Easter insert or maybe, just maybe a Valentine's insert. Come back to check it out!
So, here are some answers (please forgive me if I don't get to all the question's asked- I have slept since they were posed to me!).
#1. How do I attach the paper to the plates?
With mini-glue dots! I stick three on the back and when I am ready to change out inserts they come off really easily from the plate. Leave the glue dots on the paper and cover with wax paper strips for storage until you are ready to use them again.
There is a thread on SCS about how to attach the inserts to the glass plate. A lot of people (including me before I started this project) speculated that you could use velcro or magnets. I tried the magnet way and it just didn't work. I think the glue dots are the best way.
#2. Are those felt snowflakes?
Yes! They are being offered in the Holiday Mini-Catalog (United States) along with the chocolate chip felt ribbon. I love the texture and think they are the coolest evah!
#3. What do I use for my backdrop when taking photos?
I use a big piece of posterboard and prop about the top two-third against the arm of my Ott-light. This creates a "sweep" effect. The finished photo has no "cardstock" angles or lines in it. The posterboard I use is 22" x 28" big. I bought this posterboard to make a tabletop photo studio which I haven't completed yet! I found this link for instructions and was very happy to know that it was only about 10 bucks compared to more expensive "studios"- http://strobist.blogspot.com/2006/07/how-to-diy-10-macro-photo-studio.html
Take a look at the whole post on this link- very interesting stuff!
And now for something old. I was perusing one of the blogs that are in Group #4 SCS SU! Only and somebody had posted a cute scrapbook page that was done with the "Wanted" stamp set. The thing that was 'wanted"? A Tooth Fairy! The page showed a little girl with a missing tooth- so cute! I remembered that I had made up a few of these tooth fairy tins last year (this is for a little girl) and got one out to photograph it. I've seen this poem everywhere on SCS as well as a lot of tooth fairy tins and can't remember who inspired me! My bad! This uses "Pretty Princess" stamp set which is now retired and as a matter of fact, I just sold the set to somebody in Georgia!
You can't see it but the "tooth fairy" letters on the outside were covered in crystal effects. Oh, also the stamp set used for the outside letters was "Alphabits" I believe. Also retired.
Off to play some more. Hope you enjoyed and please visit again. Thanks for stopping by!
