Stay ConnectedTotally addicted, Noell and Israel discuss movies, television, books, and podcasting. Our tastes sometimes are different, so we end up debating the quality of shows like “The Family Guy”, “Wedding Crashers”, and “The Sopranos.”
Some shows we agree on. For example, we both love “Six Feet Under”, “Weeds”, “30 Days”, “24”, “The Apprentice”, and “Survivor”.
It’s true. We’re addicted to the media. We love it. And podcasting is the perfect way to talk about it. Please subscribe and enjoy our podcast.
We're releasing a free episode this week. That means you don't have to be a Paperclipping Member to watch it. If you like it, you might decide you want to see all the others, in which case, you can hop over here and find out how to do that.
Personal family videos are all over the internet these days. We put such an emphasis on photos in the scrapbook industry, but videos are just as much a part of our stories as pictures are.
We've now released this week's episode to the Paperclipping Members and in it I share some different ways Izzy and I started to incorporate the fun videos we take of our family and friends into our scrapbooking.

Because I get so many emails asking where to get the supplies I use, I am trying an experiment. I just signed up as an affiliate with Scrapbook.com and I will try posting links to many of the supplies I use. If you click on the links and purchase any of the products, I will receive a commission. The price of the products remain the same for you. I'm concerned about having the time to do this regularly, but we'll give it a try…
I get questions all the time about where I got this product or that product that I used on a project. Since you, the Paperclipping audience, are from all over the world, I never know how to answer that. I either get things from my local scrapbook store or I order them online. Scrapbook.com impresses me with their huge inventory. So far they seem to always have what I'm looking for. I'm lucky that they're located right in my own home town so I decided to give them a visit, tour their warehouse and location, and interview the owner, Jill Davis.
I think you'll enjoy this interview, especially since I got to ask Jill the questions many of you asked me after the CHA tour videos.
This is a free episode. You don't have to be a Member to watch. Just click on the player above or click here to watch the Quick Time version.

This week's episode for the Paperclipping Members demonstrates tips and principles for turning a boring and symmetrical multi-photo layout into a much more interesting page with asymmetry. Watch the page come together see and the difference design know-how can make!
For those of you who don't have a Membership, we are pulling a Quick-Tip video from the archives. The idea I present is a great way to go back to all those past Halloweens you never got around to scrapbooking, while adding a little decorating (storytelling-style) to your home.
This week's episode has been released for the Paperclipping Members. If you're not a member, you can watch a trailer of the tutorial by clicking on the video above.
In this in-depth video I show you step-by-step in Photoshop Elements how to…
1. Isolate a subject in your photo so you can give it/him/her special attention. 2. Boost the color of your subject while making everything else black and white. 3. Make your subject stand out more by darkening your background and boosting the highlights in your subject. 4. Make your subject stand out by blurring the background. 5. Smooth the edges of your isolated subject so it doesn't have that yucky "cut-out" look.
You'll be able to do the above with your own Halloween zombies, their bloody sores, or with cute little girls at tea parties–whatever you think needs special attention above its background. Check out this Before/After example where I left Blake's sores a tongue a subtle red and brought him forward from his background, then see the layouts before for two examples:
