Ustream Show, Giveaway, and A Big Thank You To Niki

Hi Everyone!!!  I feel energized after last night's UStream show!!  What a fun group!  Thank you to everyone who joined me.   If you weren't able to make it live last night to chat with me, here's what you missed:

If you aren't familiar with UStream, here's how it works.  My public shows are free for everyone to watch!  All you have to do is go to my UStream channel when I'm broadcasting live, or pick from the recorded videos to watch anytime http://www.ustream.tv/channel/the-art-of-scrapbooking-by-melissa-samuels.  Feel free to click on the "Join Crowd" button on my channel to follow me.  You also have the option of purchasing the kit to do the project along with me, or watch the recording anytime you'd like to complete your projects.  Here's my store address where you'll find a selection of UStream kits, as well as lots of other awesome products including the products that come in the kit & supplies you may need for your project (ie. adhesives, tools, etc.) http://melissasamuels.net.  The kit for this project is currently sold out, but I have released another batch of pre-orders.  You can go to my store and purchase the kit, and it should be shipping within the next 2 weeks (click here to pre-order).

And, because I'm so  susceptible to peer pressure, I'm giving away the porfolio I made last night (along with a bag of scraps) LOL.  

 

Here's how you can win! 

1.  Leave me a comment on this post telling me what your favorite part of the show was last night.  If you weren't there live, you can watch the video I posted here. 

 2. Click on the "Join Crowd" button on my UStream channel to follow me. http://www.ustream.tv/channel/the-art-of-scrapbooking-by-melissa-samuels

The winner will be announced here on the blog on Friday, March 25th.   US residents only.  Sorry, but a girl has to be able to afford more paper:)) 

Easy, right!?!

 

Oh, and I almost forgot!  The kits for the private Ustream show, Fantastic Folding Cards, is now in stock and shipping!  If you pre-ordered you should have already received tracking notification and an email with the link and password.   This show is scheduled for April 11th.

And, I wanted to share the very special package Niki sent me from the UK!  Thank you, Niki!  You are so talented and amazing!!!  As soon as I opened the box, I ran for the camera.  So these are actual pics of me opening my beautiful package!  I can't believe all of the beautiful things.  I feel so spoiled!

Loved the album. My favorite tip you showed us was to attach the brads to the journal pieces and then glue to the inside front of the journal. Great!

Love your projects but ustream is not available on iPad & my boys broke my laptop so I am out of luck with the videos for now. Can't wait to get the "spread your wings" kit. It is beautiful. Love the portfolio! Sorry cannot see the video.

Hi Melissa, I stumbled across your page having typed in 7 Gypsies portfolio to see what I could do with a couple of them I won in a blog giveaway. Wow! I just love what you have created and have spent an extremely happy couple of hours watching your u-stream video. Now I just can't wait for some time at the weekend to have a go at creating one for myself. Looking forward to having a watch of your other videos too - your are one extremely talented lady :)
