<p>Want to do something a little different when giving out gifts?  This e-collection might be right up your alley.  I have had a blast using these templates and have created some wonderful gift boxes that I could never have accomplished with it.<span id="more-2264"></span></p>
<p>I like to do crafts.  I also like to give those crafts away as presents to friends and families.  I wanted to do something a little extra in the craft area when it came to wrapping these gifts.  Something I could do myself.  That’s how I came up this e-collection.</p>
<p><a href="http://marluckmarketing.com/a/diygift.html">Making my own gift boxes</a> has been a lot of fun.  It’s so easy to do.  I just downloaded the templates.  Then I used the guides to help me make some really great boxes.  There’s one for just about any occasion and for every age or type of person you could imagine.</p>
<p>These boxes are a one of a kind.  They are easy to make and can save you tons of money in wrapping paper, gift bags and gift boxes.  They are really different to. I’ve used them not only for giving gifts in but to do some decorating at parties and showers.  They look great setting on a table where gifts or refreshments are.</p>
<p>If you like crafting or if you know someone who does, then take the time to check these out.  This ecollection makes a great gift for someone who likes to craft but has run out of ideas.  I’m having a blast with mine.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.mommiesmagazine.com/easy-face-painting-ebook/1217/1218/" rel="attachment wp-att-1218" title="facepainting.jpg"><img src="http://www.mommiesmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/01/facepainting.jpg" alt="facepainting.jpg" align="left" /></a>The <a href="http://mommiesmagazine.com/a/ezfacepainting.html">Easy Face Painting Book</a> is an eGuide designed to help parents do professional face painting for just about any type of event you can think of or even just for a rainy day in with the kids.</p>
<p>Super easy to read, understand and use.  The way it shows the pictures step-by-step really makes me want to go out and find as many kids as I can to paint something on.  <span id="more-663"></span></p>
<p>The first thing I really appreciated about the guide was the many tips and pointers on how to get started that were included.  She&#8217;s not assuming I know anything about face painting (and I don&#8217;t) so I don&#8217;t feel lost or unsure of what I&#8217;ll need and how to get going.  Even the fact that I&#8217;m not an artist by any means doesn&#8217;t faze me now that I see how to make the different shapes and designs in easy steps.</p>
<p>There are so many designs included that I think the problem will be choosing only a few to start working on! The step-by-step instructions make it so easy to follow along and I love how the pictures show each step so that you can very easily follow along as see what&#8217;s happening as if someone were actually there teaching you.  The tips on how to make kids comfortable while doing the face painting are great. I would be a bit nervous to be painting on someone else&#8217;s child so knowing some things to say or do so that they stay comfortable with the process is great.</p>
<p>Having different designs and patterns to choose from all in one spot is very helpful for someone who starting out may not know what to look for in a good pattern.  The guide includes Halloween, Christmas, St. Patty&#8217;s Day and many other holiday patterns that can be used to paint great faces.  The designs of ladybugs, butterflies, spiders, superheroes, snakes, cats, and inanimate objects like watches are sure to please even the pickiest of children.</p>
<p>I would have no idea where to begin looking for this type of information and to put it all together into a nice, understandable package would take so much time and effort. This is a super value and I feel very confident that there will be lots of happy, smiling children with cool face paintings at every event I attend.</p>
<p>The only thing I could think of, as a drawback is that there is a lot of information to print off so that you can have it in front of you.  Great pictures of the painting, it would be neat to also see pictures of different setups for parties, events, etc.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The purpose of <a href="http://www.mommiesmagazine.com/moms/ultimatescrapbookingguide.html" target="_blank">The Ultimate Scrapbooking Guide</a> is to provide information, education, instructions and support to scrapbooking enthusiasts at all levels.</p>
<p><strong>What&#8217;s The Cost:</strong> $29.77</p>
<p><strong>Pros:</strong> Funny, but I had always thought that a chronological sequence was the only logical order for a scrapbook of any kind&#8230;I was wrong! There are a lot of other ways to set up a scrapbook so that is beautiful and meaningful. Another thing that I learned was how not to over-do the sticker thing. I think I always went a little crazy with stickers before I read The Ultimate Scrapbooking Guide. My pages look so much more professional now. The punching and tearing techniques are just wonderful!</p>
<p>The Ultimate Scrapbooking Guide is written in such a clear way. It is so easy to understand. Some scrapbooking books seem like they were written in a foreign language but not this one!</p>
<p>The free gifts are just great! The 101 tips are really helpful and the MP3 recording is just loaded with valuable information.</p>
<p><strong>Cons:</strong> There are no cons associated with the purchase of The Ultimate Scrapbooking Guide. It is an excellent product and the free gifts that are offered with it are superb.</p>
<p><strong>Guarantee:</strong> There is a 100% guarantee of satisfaction offered with the purchase of The Ultimate Scrapbooking Guide. The purchaser has a full 8 weeks to ask for a prompt, full, no-questions-asked refund.</p>
<p><strong>The Value :</strong> With the two free gifts that come with the purchase of The Ultimate Scrapbooking Guide, it becomes an excellent value to those who are devoted to scrapbooking as a hobby or a business.</p>
