This book is designed for those who want to create hand made colorful card creations. It is a step by step guide to creating bi-fold, tri-fold, pop out, 3-D puzzle cards, as well as stationary and envelopes. It goes in depth on how to create your own pallet of colors, glue, and even card stock. It has all the tricks I learned while I was incarcerated. I had to figure out how to make my own materials because they didn't always offer these materials on commissary to make my heartfelt card creations. These hand made creations let my loved know I love them and also kept my locker box full of zoo-zoos and wham-whams and kept all my hygiene products on my shelf. Through these cards I survived close to 20 years in prison and hope book can help someone survive and show there loved ones they are special enough for you to take the time to create them a hand made card. Hand made cards let your loved know they were worth the time to spend on them to learn to make then create a hand made card. This book also includes original poetry and artwork so that you are ready to start creating as soon as you purchase this book! If you enjoy this book be on the look out for my full book of poetry Impressions for Expressions coming soon. Thank you for starting your card making journey with me God Bless.

What really wows iPad fans is when their touchscreen does what's impossible on other gadgets: the finger-painting app that turns a cross-country flight into a moving art class, the mini music studio (two-dozen instruments strong, each with motion-induced warble effects), and the portable fireworks display that you sculpt by swiping. Problem is, with tens of thousands of apps available for your iPad, who knows what to download? You can try to sort through a gazillion customer reviews with a mix of 5- and 1-star ratings, but that’s a head-hurting time-waster. The stakes are getting higher, too: instead of freebies and 99-cent trinkets, the price of iPad apps is steadily creeping up and beyond their iPhone predecessors. Best iPad Apps guides you to the hidden treasures in the App Store's crowded aisles. Author Peter Meyers stress-tested thousands of options to put together this irresistible, page-turner of a catalog. Inside these pages, you’ll find apps as magical as the iPad itself. Flip through the book for app suggestions, or head directly to one of several categories we've loaded up with "best of" selections to help you: Get work done Manipulate photos Make movies Create comics Browse the Web better Take notes Outline ideas Track your health Explore the world No matter how you use your iPad, Best iPad Apps will help you find the real gems among the rubble -- so you make the most of your glossy gadget.
