The Newest Trends In Scrapbooking
(ContentDesk) January 21, 2006 -- What are some of the current trends in scrapbooking? Creative minds are constantly coming up with novel ways to approach the craft, and the following are some of the current trends. Use these to create your own scrapbooking masterpieces (or at least experiment). Keep in mind, however, that no matter what the trends, one of the most important things about scrapbooking is that you create pages that fit your personality and style. A trend may be the hottest thing, but don't feel like you have to use it. Your scrapbooks are a unique expression of your creativity and how you see the world.Creative CroppingYou may own every type of scrapbooking scissor available, and still feel tired of the "same old" ways to crop your photos.
One answer is creative cropping. In this method, photos are cropped using a plain old straight scissor or cutting tool. The difference is that the photo is cropped in such a way that that the border is created through cropping, much like how you cut out snowflakes as a child or how you might approach stenciling. The main element of the photo is surrounded by a custom-cropped frame by cutting out shapes around the edge of the photo. It creates an interesting visual, but can be distracting if used too much.
Save this technique for special photos or as a surprise element. Digital ScrapbookingWith the advances in photo and color printing from home, you can print out many of your scrapbooking supplies in your pajamas. Some sites allow you to print elements for free; others offer a membership that grants to access to many embellishment options such as tags, pictures, letters, and more. Be sure to print on quality, acid-free paper when using these options. You can also purchase CD-ROMS that you can then print from.
Mini ScrapbooksMini scrapbooks are a hot trend because they allow people to scrapbook on a budget and in a limited timeframe. In other words, they simplify the scrapbooking process in many ways, but this does not mean they limit creativity. Mini scrapbooks are a fun way to expand your scrapbooking and make great gifts.For more great ideas on scrapbooking visit our site http://www.scrapbooking-bug.com.

LOS ANGELES, CA (ContentDesk) August 16, 2004 -- Years ago, Cyril Viguier, a French television journalist, fell in love with the lifestyle of those who live by the beach in Southern California. He was determined to live here one day. He and his family now enjoy their beach residence and the lifestyle that accompanies it.Cyril Viguier wanted to share these images that so affected him with young people around the world. We can't imagine that what we take for granted would make such an impression on teens in Asia, for example, but it does."It's a new world," Cyril Viguier describes. What exists now in the realm of television didn't exist years ago.
People dream about the lifestyle in Malibu. We provide images of the beach culture, fashion, sports, travel, events, restaurants, education, music and more on videos shot in Malibu. The videos are short, patterned after those on MTV."We are going all over Asia with a major satellite company called ASIASAT," Cyril Viguier explains. Via...

Office Organization: How to Use the Tool Professional Organizers Love
Many professional organizers don't leave either home or office without one tool. What is it? Drum roll please??The answer is a labelmaker. "Most organizers favorite tool is the electronic labelmaker," confirms Diane Hatcher, president of Timesavers Professional Organizing Services, Cooper City, Florida (www.timesaversusa.com). "I particularly use a Brother PT65. It's a portable labelmaker.
And almost everybody that sees mine wants one." So why the love affair between professional organizers and labelmakers? It's because of what you can do with this little inexpensive object (which is less clunky and more portable than its fading cousin, the typewriter). Essentially, a labelmaker spits out self-adhesive tape with the words and phrases you type onto its keyboard. (A label printer that attaches to and works in conjunction with your computer would use your computer keyboard as the input device). You can view what you're inputting on a tiny screen on portable labelmakers, usually an...

Going it Alone: The Waterfall at Mendenhall Glacier, Alaska
I stood at the observation point on the balcony at the Visitor Center overlooking the great Mendenhall Glacier at Juneau, Alaska. Before me was a beautiful scene. The glacier reflected in the large lake. Ooh, ahh. Both to the left and right were mountains.
It was a beautiful clear day. I watched the people too, walking around taking photos, and looking at the scenery before us and at the displays in the center, just a few feet away. A constant roar came from a tall and full waterfall to the right of the glacier. Once, the glacier covered the waterfall. No one was aware of its presence before the glacier receded.
I looked closer at the base of the waterfall. There seemed to be a sandbar and people walking on it. With my binoculars I traced the path they must have taken below me. It crossed large sandbars separated by streams and covered with bushes. I found the general location of the beginning of the path.
A ranger told me that there was a way to get out there, but...

Copyright (c) 2006 Sasha Petrovich
Photographing jewellery can be tricky, but with a few concepts and budget below US$500 it is possible to achieve near-professional look of the photographs. This guide is intended for absolute beginners. Terminology is simplified, and camera adjustments are discussed with only jewellery in mind.
1. Equipment
1.1 Digital SLR
Biggest spend for near-professional look of jewellery photography is for the digital SLR. This is an absolute must.
Second-hand camera will be as good. Camera without many features and without high Mega-Pixel rate will work just as fine. 3 Mega Pixel is more than enough.
Note that what makes the difference is the quality of the optical system, not the number of actual pixels.
Digital SLR will allow you to manually adjust every aspect of the camera. Automatic modes are not appropriate for jewellery.
1.2 Lighting
