Art Journaling on Video

Hola everyone!

Just got back from a fun, much needed, trip to Cabo! Went with family and met up with friends to celebrate a belated birthday :)

OK, I've got another post up at Faber Castell Design Memory Craft and this time I've made a video. I decided to make an art journal page using my Stamper's Big Brush Pens and Gelato and I filmed the process. It's my first edited video ever and...ehem...it shows (but I hope you enjoy it anyway!).  Here it is:

And I have to say, I have a new found appreciation for all you people who make video tutorials because WOW that was a lot of work editing! The filming, not too bad. The page, fun to make. The editing?! Yee gads, does it always take that long?

So I have a question for all your video makers out there....what software do you use to edit? I am no professional and I don't want to spend a ton of money on software or equipment so what do you recommend? I used my iPhone to film and then used PSE 7. I dunno, the learning curve definitely had an incline! Photos seem so much easier....

Great words to live by! Hope you all follow yours!

Thank you for visiting!!

The UN-Halloween Challenge with True XOXO

Hello everyone!

I've been very absent around here and I apologize! I been making and creating like crazy, I swear. It's just that I can't share most of it yet!

But thanks to the challenge going on over at True XOXO Scrapbooking I can share one page :)

Come join in our challenge to scrap Halloween without black and without orange. The orange I could handle but the black?? now that was tough!

Here's now mine came out:

Those webs are GREY, I swear.

Silhouette Studio had this lovely background so I printed it onto cardstock and started from there. OK, so I love the way that purple background turned out and I have Heidi Kelley to thank! Check this video out...

And some close ups...

If only you could FEEL those tombstones! I mixed grey paint with Snow Tex and layed on the thick paste to the diecuts. Tough to tell here but they look and feel like stone!

So, join along, play and show us your un-halloween pages!

OK, that's all for today. Thank you everyone for reading and following along here, I appreciate you all so much!
