"Grace: Hi, you're watching Expert Village. I'm your host, Grace Fraga. I'm here with Sonya Shepherd from The Crop Circle, and she's teaching us how to embellish our scrapbook. So what are we learning next, Sonya? Sonya: Well, we're going to use a couple simple little tools to adorn the corners of both our pictures and our mats. The first tool that I have here is your simple corner rounder, and it takes the square angle of your corner, and it snips off the edge so that it has a rounded corner. Grace: Kind of like a hole punch. Sonya: Kind of like a hole punch, but it snips off the edge. It won't come for some reason. There we go. Grace: Oh, fun. Sonya: Yeah. Grace: Yeah, it's got a fun shape. Sonya: It does a little fun shape. Grace: And you know what? It makes the photo look better. Sonya: It kind of edges it out a little bit. Grace: Yeah. Sonya: Now, you can also use something on your mats to create a decorative edge on your mats. Grace: Ooh, look at that. That's fancy. Sonya: I just punched this out, and now I'm going to insert my photo. Grace: So you can do that for the four corners, or just a couple of corners. Right? How fun. Sonya: It works better if you have more than one. Grace: Yeah, definitely. Sonya: More than one corner punched. Grace: So, see? I love that. That's really cool. Sonya: It's a lot of fun. Fun and functional. Grace: Definitely. So, what are we learning next? Sonya: We're going to tackle clear acrylic stamps. Grace: Stay tuned."
