Incredible Saw

This video you will have to see to believe.  This incredible technology is making it possible for a table saw, that's right, a table saw to stop on a dime.  Well, not really a dime, but how about your finger or thumb!  I am serious!

My husbands company already has these on the job-site to save an employee a finger, thumb, hand - simply incredible!

The video is amazing and almost insane.  The inventor of the device will use his own finger to stop the saw.  I am going to say this, DO NOT TRY IT AT HOME but in the mean-time, watch this amazing display of technology!

Aleene's Tack-It Over & Over

So if you are into scrapbooking you probably have a few rubber stamps in your collection.  The new family of stamps are these unmounted stamps.  Here is a great link on how to mount them.

I do a bit of a modification to this idea, but the part I really wanted to share was the Aleene's Tack-It Over & Over.  Great tips!

Sizzix Bix Shot and cutting other dies!

So if you are like me, you seem to find that you like many of the die templates offered out there but then you only have one of the brands machines to cut the dies on.

So, with that, you want to have the Sizzix Big Shot and you can cut MANY different dies.  I had been looking for a video like this to help me know how to use different dies in one machine.  You can cut a QuicKutz die, a Boss Kut die, Spellbinder dies and emboss with Spellbinders dies and of course you can use the Cuttlebug Folders.

AWESOME video!  I hope you are helped by it!

Scrap My Blog

For those of you who want to add some "fun" to your blog...check out this link for fabulous choices in sprucing up your blogs look.  (Scrap My Blog)

Club Scrap - the Bloggers

So I have told you about Club Scrap and their great products and fun stuff.  Well they have a couple of other things I love there. They have a couple of blogs that I follow...one of these is by Kay.  She has done of couple of things I have really enjoyed and wanted to share the link with you so you could follow her ideas as well.  They are so many ideas they have posted, I really don't think you could do them all...well, at least not if you have any life outside of crafting!

Another great blog that I follow is Tricia's.  She has some card ideas and inspiration always worth sharing.

Club Scrap Videos - Tricia

So Trisha (of Club Scrap) has all these GREAT ideas and many of them she puts into video format so you can just follow along and get some inspiration for new craft ideas.  I just love to watch the videos as they continually give me new ideas to launch from.  They are a GREAT source for fun ideas and taking you deeper into new crafting ideas.  They are continuously adding new videos so rather than just giving you one of two links, I am giving you the direct link to all the videos.  HOURS of fun is awaiting you.

Club Scrap

So I have been a huge fan of Club Scrap for about a year now and thought I would add links to the stuff they have that I love.  They have the coolest videos for some great craft ideas and they also have a couple of neat blogs.  You don't have to buy from the but you certainly can.  I find a few of their products don't compare with any others I have found out there on the web or in the craft stores.  Hope you enjoy!
