    Megan,

    Thanks for the video on how to use all these products. I have so many of them and don’t bring them out as much as I should. Happy Friday and have a great weekend.

    Looks like a bin shopping search for me! Sometimes we overlook the obvious for storage of little embellishments that get lost in a box….thanks for the ideas! Saving money on these items helps to buy a new Cricut cart on my wish list!

    Great video. I am liking the scrapbook page extenders. I hate cluttered pages and am always looking for new ideas to use more photos to tell the story of a particular event. This is going to help a lot. Thanks for all you do to make our scraping easier and more beautiful.

    I love all that you share. I would love to get an ATG gun but nfortunately I live in Mexico and I cannot get any of the grat products here. I would love to know where I can find someone who will ship to Mexico to get an ATG gun. I make tons of cards and really need one. It is almost impossible to find double sided tape here also.
    thanks Megan for all you do and your great videos!
    Love ya! God Bless!!

    Very informative! Like some of the other viewers, my list of wants grows with every episode:) I have been using the Flip Flaps for about a year now. They are awesome products. Find a CTMH consultant if you don’t have one. You won’t be sorry. Have a great week end:)

    Loved your video’s as always. I own a lot of Cricut cartridges but Everyday Popup Cards is the worse cartridge Provocraft ever made. I spent 2 hrs trying to do the first card and gave up. The popup is terrible and so blah looking. Some are setting sideways. I don’t know who engineered this cartridge but it is not fun. Even when sizing a half inch shorter, it still don’t fit on the inside of an a2 card. I guess you have to make a bigger card.You need an engineers degree to figure this one out. What a waste of money.
