After spending 5 hours answering all of your questions from the Inquiring Minds want to know post; I realized that Tip Junkie is seriously lacking in a few categories.
- Blogging Tips for beginners
- Paper crafting
- Digital tutorials for scrapbooking and making your own files
I’ve been toying with the idea for a while of opening Tip Junkie up to allow regular guest posters who are experts in their field.
Therefore, if you feel that you are in a position to post tutorials on a regular basis in any of the 3 topics listed above, please leave a comment on this post with a link to an example post on your blog.
Don’t worry, Tip Junkie won’t change the current format at all and will still bring you tips on all topics related to creative women. These three topics will just be more of a staple so we can all learn some fun new skills.
Hi! This is so cool! 🙂 I’ve got a good line-up of paper projects up in my blog and even a lot of free printables/downloadables. You can check ’em out here:

Have an awesome day! 🙂
I’d like to throw my hat in the ring, too! I don’t have many beginner blog tips, but I’ve got the other two covered. I’m a digital scrapbook designer, scrapper, hybrid artist, and papercrafter. I’m a digital scrapbook designer under the name The Hybrid Kid. I design digital papers and stickers, but my main focus is designing printables. I like to create really cute, but useful printable crafts. I create templates for papercrafting, mini albums, and printable projects. I’m also a teacher, so I design a lot of education printables for kids, as well. I also offer free printable downloads on my blog each month. For example, the Cowboy Cookie post had the recipe card and jar label as a free download. I’ve tried to compile all my crafty endeavors at on my new blog… http://domesticatedlady.com but not everything is there yet. If you’d like to see more, just holler!
I’m also working on some video tutorials. I just finished my first, it will be up soon!

Laurie,
I’d love to do a segment on papercrafting. I have done all sorts of tutorials on crafting with paper; such as decoupaging frames, making paper banners, making magnets using scrapbook paper and I’ll be doing another one on making scrabble tile necklaces. Here’s a link to one of my crafts {as featured on Tip Junkie} http://brixtonlife.blogspot.com/2009/10/31-days-of-fall-day-11.html.
Hi Laurie,
You’re so thoughtful to always think of ways to help your readers! I’d definitely be interested in some of the ‘beginning blogger’ tips. My background is in ‘usability’ and I recently did a mini series on some basic ideas/ways to make your blog user friendly for your readers.
Here’s a sample: http://itscome2this.com/2010/03/usability-101-usability-testing/
Thanks again!
Also, I’m currently working through my graphic design degree if that helps to swing pendulum in my direction at all 😉
