tracieclaiborne.com: ode to simple scrapbooks magazine
http://www.tracieclaiborne.com/2015/06/ode-to-simple-scrapbooks-magazine.html
Tuesday, June 23, 2015. Ode to simple scrapbooks magazine. I was looking through a couple issues of Simple Scrapbooks. Today and I felt a sense of longing come over me. Gone are the days of solid scrapbook instruction in printed form. You can now find great ideas online but it's either information overload or I struggle to find the voice that inspires me like Simple. And Stacy Julian changed my life. They literally changed my life. No other way to put it. There's an article on using lots and lots of phot...

tracieclaiborne.com: the world wide web: it brings out the best and the worst in me
http://www.tracieclaiborne.com/2015/07/the-world-wide-web-it-brings-out-best.html
Saturday, July 11, 2015. The world wide web: it brings out the best and the worst in me. I've been thinking a lot about the role the internet plays in my life. This had added great value to my life. Now on the minus side (if I'm being brutally honest), I have spent too much of my life in a passive, sedentary state, reading and responding to people. Connections were formed but one cost has been that the people around me (live and in person) seem less appealing because they do not. Another negative is that...

tracieclaiborne.com: new podcast
http://www.tracieclaiborne.com/2014/02/the-big-announcement.html
Monday, February 03, 2014. I am very pleased and excited to announce a new podcast all about scrapbooking! We are super excited! I have wanted to do a podcast for a long time, really since I got an iPod and an iPhone and started listening to them regularly. Heaven knows I'm blessed with the gift of gab but I really didn't know what format I could do. Then a few weeks ago, my best friend, Tiffany and I headed to Louisville for one last visit to Archiver's. Tiffany agreed and our wheels started turning.

Thursday, August 06, 2015. The urge to purge. My studio is the worst it's ever been and I'm slowly cleaning it and taking photos so I can share some tips for getting it back to picture perfect. But today I thought I would talk about something related.the urge to purge. Do you ever get it? I get it a lot. I am easily overwhelmed by all the stuff. Tiff and I got our stuff! I've added a couple things of my own to it now.some roller stamps I never use. Here's how the process looks. The stuff in the bin is wh...

tracieclaiborne.com: a little art journal happiness
http://www.tracieclaiborne.com/2015/07/a-little-art-journal-happiness.html
Thursday, July 16, 2015. A little art journal happiness. The last Saturday of every month, I host a free Craft Day at Hobby Lobby and I spend the time there working on art journaling. I got this awesome 5x12 Copic Marker Sketchbook. For Christmas so last month, I finally decided to break it out. It is specially made with paper that Copic markers will not bleed through. I used it with watercolors and it worked great! I plan to just fill this book with whatever is on my mind at the time. Hopefully by t...

tracieclaiborne.com: artful memory planner
http://www.tracieclaiborne.com/2015/02/artful-memory-planner.html
Friday, February 13, 2015. Finally, I had a free and sunny day to take pictures of my memory planner. I've decided to call it an "Artful Memory Planner" because it holds art, memories and my plans! Click to enlarge and read journaling. Here's how it looks in the album. I love all the gold! I'm going to add the word "focus" on the top left but I can't quite decide how. I'm thinking maybe white cursive word with a smattering of pink mist. Nothing that stands out too much. Here's the left side. I had a horr...

tracieclaiborne.com: step-by-step cards from a 6x6 pad
http://www.tracieclaiborne.com/2012/04/step-by-step-cards-from-6x6-pad.html
Monday, April 09, 2012. Step-by-step cards from a 6x6 pad. This month for my class, I bought a 6x6 paper pad from My Mind's Eye. The line is called "Miss Caroline" and this pad is called "Howdy Doody." Great name, right? I know. Pretty fabulous. I'm going to teach you how by showing you step-by-step how to make a "mixed patterns on the diagonal" card, which is a design I use often and if I do say so myself, I'm kind of known for. This design can also rock some paper scraps so it's handy to know! To make ...
