oooh that would be fun! I love to Disney-bound!

I have a (very) old version of Photoshop Elements, which is less involved than full Photoshop. I have learned as I go by starting with a free mini-class (long enough ago that it’s no longer available, sorry! 🙁 But here’s another digi scrapper with some tutorials:https://vimeo.com/shannanpages) and by doing searches on YouTube and the whole internet when I want to do a technique but don’t know how.

Another option for planning pages (but not creating final versions) would be Silhouette Studio. It’s free software, and you don’t have to have a Silhouette machine to use it for designing. I have found it to be fairly intuitive!

Those facets are one of my favorite products. I want to put one on everything! 🙂

Michelle, when we were in Epcot last Christmas season, Karamell-Küche (Germany pavillion) had some amazing treats [Werther’s Caramel Butter Bar, Gingerbread Salted Caramel Buttercream Cookie Sandwich]. Our absolute favorite was the Gingerbread Salted Caramel Buttercream Cookie Sandwich, which I think may be a seasonal treat!

in reply to: “Storage Ideas” – How do you store your supplies? Think everything from stamp ink to fat quarters and all the doodads and thing-a-ma-jigs needed to make what we make. Do you throw it all in one big bin or are they neatly labeled and stored alphabetically? We’re guessing it’s somewhere in between! #25369

Vicki– yes, please share a pic of your makeup-case-turned-ink-holder!!
My husband prototyped an ink organizer insert for one of my storage cubes (they are the “legs” of my craft studio island/table). It’s just made of scrap corrugated cardstock, and it’s been working well. Now to find the time to make it out of “prettier” materials!

I’m also curious to see how others store the awesome washi tape sets from the Scraps & Ink shop! I’d like to keep the sets together. Right now, I’m keeping them in the little plastic bags in which they come, but that’s not going to work for too much longer 😉

I have an antique basket as my ribbon storage, and all my bits and pieces were just tossed in there. A while ago, I bagged up my ribbon pieces by color family– those little bags still live in that basket! — and it has really helped me to find what I need quickly!

in reply to: “Oldies but Goodies” – Embellishments! Are there some that you just can’t bring yourself to part with or did you toss them like last week’s leftovers? Let’s discuss those older and little-used eyelets, brads, and bottle caps collecting dust. (I know that mine are!) #24285

I must admit– I can’t bring myself to let go of my brads and paper flowers!

When we went last November, we stopped in Karamell-Küche in the Germany pavilion to get some treats — most notably the Gingerbread Salted Caramel Buttercream Cookie Sandwich, which I think is seasonal. Oh my goodness gracious, I think quite possibly it was the best dessert I had on our trip!
