This week's TOT comes courtesy of Curt. His video details how to create a custom book cover to use in the Yourstory machine. While this project isn't for the faint of heart, Curt simplifies the process and shows that it's very attainable for both the beginner or seasoned crafter. The sample project even uses what he calls The Quad-fecta: Yudu, Yourstory, Cricut and Cuttlebug!
Platinum Scraps was originally launched February of 2010 as a vision of several friends who met on the Cricut Message board who wanted to venture out into creating, sharing, and showcasing the many talents each of us possess. Platinum Scraps showcases the diversity in scrapbooking and features designers from all walks of life. To keep the tradition going, each week our design team is challenged to create a unique layout or card based on a sketch that exemplifies their skills and talents. We hope that we inspire your creations and we appreciate your continued love and support as we grow together.

Time Out Thursday
Today, we are going Back to the Basics. George & Basic Shapes that is. When I first purchased my Baby Bug in 2006, I constantly used the George & Basic Shapes cartridge. Why? I had to. It was only 1 of 3 cartridges I owned (that month, lol!). That seems like so many ages ago. Even 50+ cartridges later, I almost always use this cart to make my photo mats. Today, I'm dusting it off to show you how I created a housewarming invitation.
