Video Transcript

"My guest, Sonya Shepherd is from The Crop Circle is going to teach us how to: Embellish your scrapbook layout with pretty much everything under the sun you can imagine. Yes, we've been doing that as you can see. Her is a little bit of a hosh posh right now. We're just practicing with the techniques right now. But it's fun to be able to experiment and not worry about how it's effective technically. Absolutely it's looking pretty good. So it's coming together. Yeah. It makes kind of sense in a way. Absolutely. Well our next project that we have is called "Chalk". It's a chalking set. This one is from Pebbles, Inc. Again, it's all our kind of quality which we've already stresses the most important thing. But the chalk is really used much like our "distress ink" is, to create an edged look to your papers. Add a little bit of color, personalize your decorations. That sort of thing. So let's open it up and add some to some of tags here and give them a little bit of color and dimension. Fun. Can I do that? Yeah. The set comes with a little kind of pincher thing. Okay. Alligator Clip, this is the technical term for it. And I've already got the little Q-Tip bud on it for you. So you can pick a color, and this is the Pearl Essence chalk set which is really fun. It's another way actually to add sparkle. I kind of like the yellow. The yellow is nice. Okay. Is that enough or should I...you can add more if you want. Cool. And we can buy this at The Crops Circle. This is at The Crops Circle. Great, so what do I do with this? That can go there. The color some in there. That's fun. See, should I, do we have to kind of switch? You can switch if you like. There are little...so it doesn't get...yep, exactly. There's one for the orange. Whoops. There's the little puffs for the orange. So we just rub the, the little cotton thing. See, I don't know the technical term, so it's thingee for me. That's okay. It works. It's okay right? Of course. Absolutely. I having a hard time. You kind of like press hard. Yeah that's kind of smudge it on there. Yeah. So this Sonya, what do you do with this? You can write something. Yes you can write with this, you can color. Writing would be a little bit hard with but it really is color. It's adding color, it's adding personalization. It's shading. Anything really that you if you want to add just a little bit of a touch to your layout. This is the way to do it. Here we go. See it's a little bit more fun and it adds a little bit of color. So all you need is the alligator thingee? The alligator thingee and the cotton thingees. The cotton thingees. And then all the chalks. And all the chalks. Fantastic. Great, so what are we learning next? Next we're going to go on to ripping and tearing our paper. That's going to be fun. Stay tuned for that."
