I'm trying to stay up-to-date with December Daily this year. It's been pretty exciting and I think it's because I've got new gadgets: the new computer, new Selphy printer (my previous one died in August), and new Canon 12x12 printer; and new software. I went for it. Got Photoshop CC. It comes with Lightroom which... Continue Reading →
This isn't the full haul. I was planning on splitting it into a few different ones but I'm finding that I don't have a lot of time especially because it's the holiday season. I've been doing NaNoWriMo and should be done here within the next few days. Then, I plan to work on December Daily.... Continue Reading →
Here is the video showing how I finished one of my layouts following Wilna Furstenberg's mixed media scrapbooking course. This is only from when I used the gelatos to paint. I've already stenciled the paper and allowed it to dry before painting. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uSzAbav0WsI
These are two layouts I finished yesterday. I also made a process video of the second layout and hope to share that soon. The journaling has always been the hardest part for me but when I flip through older layouts, I find that the journaling is what I'm drawn to. Products used: Cut files by... Continue Reading →
Working on finishing up the Artventure course by Wilna Furstenberg and loving these beautiful florals she designed. I'm using the Silhouette Portrait to cut them.
I promised not to buy too much crafting supplies but somehow I broke that promise. These will all come in useful though. Separate views: I have a huge 8.5" x 11" stack that I've been collecting. The papers are so pretty I'm afraid to use them, but I really need to.
My kids have been busy with summer activities so I haven't had much time to do anything really. Both the girls have left the world of dance. One moved on to Poms and the other to swim - although swim is only for the summer. I haven't decided if I'll be putting her in anything... Continue Reading →
Last year I did my first December Daily album. December Daily is a term Ali Edwards uses to describe a scrapbooking photo documenting method for the month of December. I didn't do it sooner because I was doing Project Life (a documenting method by Becky Higgins) and Project Life takes a lot of time. Once... Continue Reading →
I've been doing a ton of Youtube and Google research on the Fauxdori, an imitation (DIY) version of the Midori Traveler's Notebook, and finally found the courage and materials to make my first two. The leather were scraps...I was aware that there would be dents and stuff on them which was fine with me since... Continue Reading →
I didn't take very many photos during week 7. It was the week of my daughter's first solo competition and there was just too much excitement and nerves in the air but that wasn't the reason why I wasn't taking photos. These days, I've cut back on photography to add other hobbies to my list.... Continue Reading →
