Paper Wishes Weekly Webisodes

Welcome to Scraps of Mind. I'm delighted to see you. Why not check out the site, and if you like what you see, subscribe to my RSS feed and get daily updates delivered to you. If you're not sure what the RSS thing is, then check out this 'RSS made easy' post. Thanks for visiting and I look forward to seeing more of you.

For the past year I have been following the weekly scrapbooking and cardmaking info segments that are put out by Hot off the Press over the Internet. They’re called Paper Wishes Weekly Webisodes and run for approx 10-15 minutes each.

Although their main aim is obviously to market their products, I find that they are not a hard sell and each webisode is packed with heaps of useful ideas and tips regardless of what products you use. I should point out for the digi-scrapping girls that this is very paper centric.

Paulette Jarvey and Sara Naumann, who present the shows, are fun and pleasant to listen to and they show some great examples of cards and layouts using that week’s tips and products. As well as a ‘how to’ tutorial for one of the techniques.

An extra bonus, from my point of view, is that they archive all their past episodes so you can watch them again months later when you might find you need a refresh on a particular idea or technique. And they also provide printable instructions for the layouts and projects that they show you on the segment.

The products that they use each week are also available to viewers in a special price bundle for that week. This is great if you live in the US but the price is not so special if you have to ship overseas. Never mind, the Webisodes are fun and full of useful information and I am a regular follower. I strongly recommend you give them a go.
