This was an AWESOME week for tutorials and tips -- make sure you read through the All the Best list below --
Tutorial of the Week: Rectangular Frame by Becca Feeken from Amazing Paper Grace
Man, that Becca Feeken has it going ON! I loved, loved, loved the circle frames that she made using a corner rounder - but it didn't dawn on me to try it with a rectangle. Beautiful end effect, great directions and I'll be using this technique! Check it out by running over to Becca's blog.
Runner Up: Painted Pomegranates by Julie Koerber from Out to Impress
I saw this card and thought, "How beautiful!" and then wondered how Julie managed to get so much definition from her artwork when she obviously stamped on dark cardstock. Well, she shows you how! Really great step by step directions on how to color this (or any image) are on her blog -- click on over!
Runner Up: Photo Snowman Treat Boxes by Mel McCarthy from Mel Stampz
I have to tell you that Mel has one of my favorite blogs. It's always really fun to see what she's making and she is really great about sharing HOW she makes things. I think these adorable boxes would be the absolute hit of a child's school holiday party. They are seriously cute. She even gives you the template!
Now, onto the Best of the Blogosphere Crafting lists. Remember these lovely little boxes don't show up in Google Reader, so if you can't see them, click on over to my site and they will magically appear. (When you see the boxes, there is a small "read more" in the bottom, right hand corner... click it and you can see the list with pictures as a web page!)
