(its also the handy tip that shows up at the top of our blog)

PRINT_BLOCKS: Tip: be ready for those priceless Easter egg hunt photos! Try keeping one eye looking through the camera & the other on the action!
PRINT_BLOCKS: Tip: use your Tags Bags Boxes & More cartridge and a 12′ x 24′ #Cricut Expression mat to cut boxes big enough to hold Easter treats!
PRINT_BLOCKS: Tip: using #Cricut to cut fabric? Since fabric requires a very sharp blade, use a marker to label them with an F to keep them separate
PRINT_BLOCKS: Tip: remember, crafting is about having fun. Don’t worry if things aren’t perfect. Handmade projects r special because they have character!
PRINT_BLOCKS: Tip: set goals for yourself. Try taking 5 sets of photos a month and creating a layout for each one of them!
PRINT_BLOCKS: Tip:using natural elements like leaves & twigs on your page? Avoid letting them come into contact with your photo as they are NOT acid free!
PRINT_BLOCKS: Tip: try using a wide ribbon threaded through narrow slits in your page. The narrow openings will bunch the ribbon a give a gathered effect
PRINT_BLOCKS: Tip: when shooting photos, take a series of images instead of single snapshots so you can choose the best shot or use them all together!
PRINT_BLOCKS: Tip: the best way 2 ensure you’ll have a great page layout is 2 take your photos with scrapping in mind. Think of your page before u shoot!
PRINT_BLOCKS: did you know you can find even more detailed daily tips and images of great projects on our facebook page? http://ow.ly/1nc5C
PRINT_BLOCKS: Tip: a quick and easy way to add texture to a layout is to include felt or glitter coated embellishments!
PRINT_BLOCKS: Tip: for a subtle image effect, use your favourite stamp and an ink that’s a similar colour to your cardstock
PRINT_BLOCKS: Tip: Coordinate your title letters with your feature embellishments by painting or inking them the same colour
PRINT_BLOCKS: Tip: colours in your photo don’t match with the paper & embellishments u want 2 use? Print them black and white & your page colours will pop
PRINT_BLOCKS: Tip: stitching your page? Don’t forget to try using decorative stitch options! Try stitching a straight line, then switching to zig zag
PRINT_BLOCKS: Instead of always using brown & black inks to ink your paper edges, use a coordinating colour. For blue paper use a dark blue ink.
PRINT_BLOCKS: Weekend Challenge: try making page elements out of an unconventional material like bubble wrap. Push yourself 2 use something strange!
PRINT_BLOCKS: Tip: use white & only one other colour on your layout. Choose a colour that will complement your photo & use varying shades

I’m always happy to see another tip in my twitter feed – keep it up!
I’m not entirely sure what Twitter is about, but its always nice to see that little tip in the top bit of your site
Used the multiple photo tip just the other day, and am just starting to put together something special for my neice, these are quite helpful to see on the site everytime I have a look now, much better than your old one
Whoever you all have putting up these tips is great! A big THANK YOU to them for keeping me inspired! I love seeing them on my facebook feed. Would be great to get more weekend challenges to help motivate all of us out here in scrapland!
