Baby Girl Dress Mini Scrapbook Album & Quick Thoughts on the Precision Tip Glue Gun

Sharing a mini I made for a friend using the Sizzix Dress Die and the K&Company paper stack called "Itsy Bitsy Baby Girl." Also, sharing some quick first impressions of my Precision Tip Glue Gun. Oops, btw, the 1 is the higher temperature and the 2 is the lower temperature on the Precision Tip Glue Gun. It is great that you can use the large glue sticks with the Precision Tip Glue Gun, but I think I would love if they made a mini Precision Tip Glue Gun for easier handling :)! Thanks for watching and have a great day!

Added simple accents to each page, including Glossy Accents, Enamel Accents, buttons, ribbon loops, and images from the paper. Thanks for stopping by!

How to Draw the Hand- A Couple Holding Hands

Link- merrillk.com Men can sometimes struggle with words. Little Old Man: Are you a parking ticket? Little Old Lady: (What?) Little Old Man: Because, you got fine written all over you. Fortunately, Merrill is here to help. Imagery can replace words and today, I am going to teach you how to make a drawing that you could give to your crush or your significant other. All you will need is paper, a pencil and some romantic incentive and I will take care of the rest. It has been said that a picture is worth 1000 words, so you probably don't want to mess up this drawing. Don't worry. You won't. Hit the link in the video description. The link will take you to my guide with photos and text, which will make this drawing as easy as possible. Little Old Man: Baby, you are like a student and I am like a math book, you solve all my problems Little Old Lady: (Slap) Little Old Man: I'm not a player I just crush a lot. Step 1: Draw an oval and two tree stump shapes. Step 2: Draw the fist shape. Be sure to notice its placement within the oval shape. Step 3: Draw the shape that I just added. Notice that it looks like a cartoon face from profile view. Also notice that a part of this shape goes outside the oval shape. Step 4: Add the upside down rainbow shape, between the two shapes from the previous steps. Step 5: Add the fingernails. Step 6: Add the lines between the fingers. Step 7: Erase the egg shape.
