Hi Megan. I can’t seem to hear you on this video, or your previous video, even with the sound at maximum volume on you tube. š
Great idea on how to save paper by cutting out the middle! I am, unfortunately, still a little “cutting-challenged” in this area…LOL!
I also had trouble with the audio on these last two videos with the volume on high. I had to watch with my ear to the speaker.
Audio to low can’t hear. Love your videos, but have been having a hard time hearing them
Great tip Megan, I have seen this before. I also had difficulty hearing these last 2 videos.
Your sound for this video is very poor; even with all options on high, I could barely hear you. This is a wonderful tip and one that I am sure I will be using. Thanks for sharing it.
Love the videos but I have the comment as the others the audio just isn’t there.
I am not sure why, but I too am having trouble hearing your videos (this one and the previous one). I turn the volume all the way up, but to no avail. I so would love to be able to hear what you have to say, but it just isn’t happening. Please re-record these two videos with sound! Thanks.
Love the tip…the only way I could hear the video was to use earphones in my laptop with the volume turned up all the the way. Then it sounded normal.
I agree with the others. It seems the audio is not working properly.
Can’t hear even at max. Please do this again I need to know how to save …..
Oh my good lord!! I thought that I was the only one having audio issues….I moved all my sound gear @ work, at home, youtube, checked my internet conection, restarted the computer, etc. thinking that something was wrong with my computers. Nope, no audio for me either….bummer ;(
Thanks for the tip-now all I have to do is remember it when I scrap!!! I could hear you but you seemed muffled.
Megan,
First of all I love your all your videos. You explain everything very well. My one complaint is I haven’t been able to hardly hear the last few videos with my sound up to the maximum. Just wanted to let you know.
I’m not getting the audio either. I sure would like to hear what you’re saying….
oh megan….i would LOVE to hear these things! i’m nearly deaf and i just thought it was me…that i couldn’t hear you. i would so enjoy listening to your tutes…..maybe you need a cheerleader voice or something. can you try again? please?
I totally agree with you about saving paper! Especially if you do any die cutting or even using punches the tiniest scraps can be used for a layer somewhere (especially black!) Thanks for sharing your tip for how to get more from your paper! It will also help to reduce the bulk and weight of albums (a plus when you’re working with lots of really awesome papers that might also be really thick.)
I know that others have said it above, and I’ll just let you know that I also have to turn the volume way up and don’t hear you all that well even then. I’m glad that people are speaking up so you know there’s a problem! I’d hate for anyone to miss you’re helpful tips because of poor sound!
Have a great rest of your week and thanks again for all you share!
Hi Megan~
I have using this technique forever. It’s a great tip! Thanks a bunch. Just like everyone else, I also had audio issues with your videos.
Megan,
Great paper saving tip. I keep my paper scraps in a box on my crafting shelf, and just open it up whenever I’m looking for paper. If I don’t need a full 12 X 12 to begin with, I go to my box first. But I like the idea of cutting the center out. I’m also like everybody else. Turned volume to max, and still could barely hear you. So please turn your volume up a bit. Thanks for all you do. It really helps us in our crafting projects.
Where’s the sound?????????????
Great tips Thanks for sharing
Thanks so much for teaching these techniques, I have learned so much from you and you inspire my own creativity. I also cannot hear the audio on this presentation. Can it be reedited so that we can learn this great tip? It is hard to understand the technique without the oral explanation. Have a great day and thanks again!
This is a great tip! I have been doing it for awhile now. Its really useful when you have only one sheet and you need it for both background and for cutting out some embellishments/diecuts.
Love all of your videos Megan, but I can’t get this one š
Thanks for all you do š
Yes, I also had trouble with the volume on the last video. When I tried to watch this video on 12×12 paper saving tips it says it has been removed.
Hey everyone – I double checked and tried everything – the sound SHOULD be working! I don’t know what’s wrong!!! š If you can give it a second chance a let me know!?!!? I’m so sorry!
I had absolutely NO trouble with the audio. Thanks for the great tip!
First, I guess my timing was fortunate, I had no audio trouble. Second, this one one of the first tips I ever learned in scrapbooking, from a CM consultant 15 years ago! I have abandoned scrapbooking for cardmaking, and apparently this trick as well! Thanks for the reminder…I’ve moved to a tiny town, without craft stores…aggghhhh!
that was a great tip and thanks for sharing
Thanks Megan, the audio and sound worked fine for me now! Thanks for the great tips! Have a great day!
I love this tip…I don’t always remember it though! I did find a great 12×12 piece with colors my sis-in-law loves and plan on framing it and placing photo corners that will hold only one picture…so she can update the piece as often as she wants and still has the gorgeous paper to decorate her wall! Now to find a frame!
Audio worked well for me today!
Great tip Megan!!!! I was thinking about doing that exact thing on a 2 page layout I’m working on now.
No problem with audio for me.
Megan,
I do this same thing ALL THE TIME! I hate to waste paper! If I have a square that I know I am going to mat with another paper I will sometimes grab a flower or heart punch and then punch as many shapes as I can from the bottom layer color. Once you place the second color on top it you cannot see all the holes/shapes I punched out. Then I keep all of the hearts, stars, flowers in a little container for when I need just that one little accent for a project . . . just go to my stash of already cut shapes!

thanks for the tip. I didn’t have any trouble hearing you this time. The adhesive video was the one I could barely here though. I guess I listened at the right time for this paper saving one. Thanks again for all your tips. this one really will come in handy!
Thanks for sharing your tip for how to get more from your paper!
What excellent tips! Thank you for sharing your tips with us! ā„
What a great paper saving tip!! I would never have thought to do something like that, but I will now =) Thanks!
I love the tip. Didn’t have any problems hearing you! Thanks for sharing!
Love this idea…thanks for helping us to conserve supplies!!! Keep scrappin’
OMGosh, I have never thought about doing this…such an awesome tip!! Thanks so much (my hubby is gonna thank me for spending less for paper) and I owe it all to you..THANK YOU!!
I seldom get to scrap alone with my three grands wanting to scrap too so I had figured out how to save paper because they can go through it so fast. One thing I don’t think you mentioned is that I cut it so one kid would have the black background while the other has the lighter shade. They both basically have the same colorway just the amount differs so there is no reason to argue about who gets the pretty paper and who had to use the junky kind. Sound familiar anyone? Also Megan, I don’t know if it is the black top you have on or what but you look like you are really losing some weight! Good things often come out of not so nice situations. I’ve been where you are is how I know so well. God bless and keep you and your precious little ones.
Thank you so much for the awesome tip! Never thought of doing that!!! You rock! BTW – I’ve had no problem hearing your videos!
Great tip, Megan! Thanks so much for showing us.
