It’s almost here! Be sure to join us Monday for the May Week of Webisodes—you’ll have a brand-new Webisode every day for the whole week, with tips and techniques on things like the Easy Circles Templates, stamps, metal jewelry and (yes, finally!) the 7 Gypsies Photo Carousel. And on Friday you’ll see a really fun technique for Dazzles™ too!

(Not to mention, the free downloads, Super Savings and Deal of the Day for each day, plus Designer Tips for everything from stamping to taking care of your tools. It’s going to be an action-packed week!)

With the May Week of Webisodes just about to start, I’m working ahead to our Week of Webisodes Stamp Camp. For the past few days I’ve been organizing techniques and getting things grouped into segments, and now I’ve started working on the projects. Just take a look at my work table—it’s too bad you can’t see the floor, too, which is covered with papers, stamps, block and my scribbled notes with cryptic things like “Broken China ink + water, 5 mins dry time”. I hope I remember what that means when I’m writing the instructions!

Hope to see you Monday on the Week of Webisodes! In the meantime, wish me luck on preparing for Stamp Camp!

PS. Thanks everyone for sending your tips for the next WoW—you’ve sent some great ones! And even though this is early, I thought it was such a great tip on the Rippin’ Rulers that I wanted to share it here. It’s from Allison, who says:

“On the back of the paper you are rippin’, apply a light line of water with a cotton swab, paint brush or even a wet finger. Allow to absorb a couple of minutes, turn over the paper and proceed as shown in the video. The tear will result in the same visually with less strain.”

Thanks, Allison! I think that’s brilliant and wish we had thought of it too!
