Halp!

Sorry for the text-only, but I've asked everyone I've ever met and no one seems to know!

Is there a name for those small metal frames you attach in the front of a drawer, that hold a little card stating what's inside? Sort of like you'd find in an old Library index archive?

I KNOW I've seen them on Ebay.co.uk when searching for something else, but I can't seem to find anything now, I've tried every search I can think of!

Cheers!

Shrinky dink + Photoshop Elements

[sadisticseraph.livejournal.com]

Does anyone here know how to adjust the color levels in Photoshop Elements so that the image is suitable for printable shrinkydink sheets? I thought I'd figured it out but the results were less than stellar. I've looked online and can only find tutorials for using photoshop. I'll be immensely glad of any help.
Thanks!

I have a problem. I can't stop using swarovski crystals. I could go through 150 bucks worth in a day :P especially with insomnia. Here are a few of my new items I've been working on. I'm really happy with these.

Thanks for looking!

 Does anyone have a heart shaped pillow pattern I could use? Im new to sewing, but am looking to get more crafty for my gift-giving.
I did read through the memories and things, and I know gift ideas arent meant to be here, but thought it would be ok since I already know what I want. Google searches and the like havnt brought up anything I like.

I've added on to my stash of homemade holiday gifts (previously mentioned here). I made a couple small handbags and a ridiculously large clutch. The handbag background color is sage, but it looks washed out in the photos.

Epp! poping the corn in my corn pillow

[paosparti.livejournal.com]

Okay grrrls I need your help!

I've done everything the directions say. I bought whole Kernel feed corn from the local feed store. (I made sure NOT to buy cracked corn)

I cut a pocket out of an old pair of jeans. filled it halfway with corn and sewed it shut.

Put it in the microwave for 3 minutes and before 1:30 I was hearing popping! I thought no way that can't be... but I cut open the bag and I have two or three actually poped peices and several that cracked.

Should I try and dry the corn out by heating it in the oven for a bit?
I was going to give these as gifts and I can't give out sewn up bags of popcorn!

cute little bag for my mom!

So finally I got round to uploading these pics of a cute little bad that looks like a teacup that I made for my mom's birthday in November.
Enjoy, though I must warn you it's

Hi. I'm new. This community came highly recommended. After taking a look around, I can see why! :) My name is Tiffany and aside from decorated cookies--which really don't qualify--I haven't been making anything crafty lately but would like to get back into the swing again.

Each Christmas season, I enjoy giving something handmade to family and friends. This year I've found some beautiful beaded snowflakes. The problem is, I can't afford the very expensive kit. Does anyone know a place I could get a tutorial and patterns on the cheap?
