Thank You Faber Castell and a Mini

Hello everyone!

I just want to remind you all that I've still got a giveaway going on here until January 10. I'll pick a winner on January 11th!

The first "real" week of 2013 has arrived in our household...my oldest has returned to school, hubby is fully entrenched in what he fondly calls "hell" week and the Christmas tree is coming down...ah well, all holidays and vacations must eventually come to an end.

And sadly my GDT position with Faber Castell Design Memory Craft has also come to an end. Thank you Faber Castell for the wonderful opportunity, I loved working with your products! My last project to share with you is a mini book...a first for me! I've got the step by step posted on Faber Castell Design Memory Craft's blog. And I'll admit,the task of making a mini wasn't nearly as difficult as I worried it would be once I applied my "formula" to each page! I'm thinking there's going to be some more minis in my future!

Here's a look at some of the pages...

Hope everyone has a wonderful week!

Never Too Early For Christmas?!

Hi everyone!

Head on over to Faber Castell Design Memory Craft to get a head start on some Christmas project ideas!

Today I have for you an ombre wreath made of small ornament bulbs, stamped tissue paper and my Faber Castell Gelatos!

A lot of Mod Podge and several glue sticks later I had my wreath! I've got the step by step directions up so  go check it out here!

That's all for today and thank you everyone for your visits and comments!

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!!
