Just when you think PageSage can't possibly out-do themselves, they come out with another awesome DVD that rightfully deserves a place in any reference library.

I thought I knew how to use most of the art supplies I have in my collection. MaryJo McGraw and PageSage showed me that my art supplies are not being used anywhere near to their fullest capacity. This DVD takes all the mystery out of those awesome art supplies you've got squirreled away, just waiting for you to take them out and use them! I didn't realize just how versatile my art supplies are or that I could use them in such a wide range of projects. As I watched this DVD, there must have been at least a hundred times or more when the "light bulb" came on for me and left me saying.."Oh, hey....I didn't know that."...or "NOW I understand!!!".

MaryJo gives accurate and useful information regarding each and every product she uses in the DVD. Then she shows you how to use each product in very easy and simple projects. As a finale, she creates this totally awesome collage on a canvas using ALL the products. Impressive....inspirational....and incredibly cool!!! At first glance, the projects seem as though they might be difficult. But as you watch the DVD you easily see how they are simple, especially when you understand the products you are using. Not only are you left KNOWING you could recreate the projects you see on the DVD, you are also left KNOWING you can use that same information and create your own unique art projects. She uses and explains products most stampers and crafters already have, or products that are on our list of "things to buy soon". She isn't promoting her own products, she teaches us to more fully use what we already have. Its like a breath of fresh air wrapped up in a totally awesome creative adventure.
