The Great Outdoors

Hey friend! Thank you for stopping by! I just finished uploading a process video for my layout titled, The Great Outdoors. I used an Echo Park 12X12 Paper Pad called “The Great Outdoors” (Imagine that!) I also used some papers from the Echo Park, Pirate Tales 6x6 Paper Pad.

Have you ever tried using fussy-cut fish on a scrapbook page? I do that on this page and it is a bit... odd feeling. Ha! However, I really like the way the layout came together. Fish and all!

A new layout of the kiddos and grand kiddos.  I used lots of Heidi Swap Storyline Chapters Collection for this layout.

Hello friends!  I have a new double page layout to share today!  I am taking Allison Davis of Scrapbook Generation, Sketches for 6x6 Paper Pad class along with many other scrappers!  This was week #1 sketch and it has been so fun seeing all the different layouts using the same sketch!  Unfortunately, the class is no longer available but the sketch book is!  You can find it here:

I also have a process video on my YouTube Channel, creating this layout!  You can see me in action here:  https://youtu.be/cDeg-oh7gmw  If you like the video,  I hope you will subscribe and like!  I just reached my 100 Subscribers YT Milestone today (Yay!!) and gave away a Gift Certificate to Scrapbook Generation to one of my lucky subscribers!  I love to give stuff away, so don’t miss out!  

Thanks for stopping by!  I hope you have a great week and get to use lots of creative energy!  Hugs!

A little bit rusty...

I got struck by the Scrapbooking bug again.  I think it has something to do with my Grandbaby moving to the same town as me!  So many new memories to document, on the horizon!  Plus, I have a ton of pictures from all my summer adventures that I suddenly feel the need to get in albums!  I am inspired, but also feeling a little rusty.  I am not allowing myself to purchase anymore supplies for the time being.  I have lots of old supplies that should work just fine.  It is very tempting to shop for the latest and greatest, but I am really trying to pay off those credit cards... from all my summer adventures.  LOL!  I also feel like using up my stash will force me to be a little more creative.  I kind of got in a rut, which is why the scrapbook bug left me in the first place.  I  was bored.  I have tons of mixed media supplies and plenty of scrapbook products.  I am going to combine those two loves more and see what happens.  Here are my latest layouts:

I was inspired to try out pocket pages to scrap our trip to New Mexico and Colorado in August.  I have so many pictures of our trip, I thought this would be the best way to get them in albums.  I have to say, after doing these pages, pocket pages are not my favorite.  I feel a bit confined using them and they are so structured.  Too much structure doesn't jive with my creative side.  As an elementary teacher, I am soooo structured in my job.  I need an escape now and then.  :)

This is my favorite picture I took all summer.  This little girl makes my wonderful, blessed life, all the more sweeter!  

If you read this far.... you are awesome!  Thanks for taking the time out of your day to get to know me a little better!  I would love to get to know you too!  Leave me a comment, so I can follow your blog!  Have a WONDERFUL day!  

Hugs,

Kelly

Finally took the leap!

I did something that was very scary for me!  I filmed my art journaling process and posted it on YouTube for the world to see!  (Eeeekkk!)   I know, I know...there are tons of people out there who do this on a daily basis and it's like no big deal. (Well, they make it seem like that because they are good at it!)  Believe me, I know!  I love watching the process and creativity of others.  I love the artist who share and inspire.  It is great fuel for the muse!  Which is the exact reason why, I have the desire to share my process.  I want to share and not just receive inspiration.  I want to share my journey into what I am passionate and madly in-love with.... and that is the intuitive process of creating art. 

There is a learning curve in filming, editing and publishing.  As with anything else, there will be improvement with practice.  However, I can't let my "newbiness" keep me from trying.  I would love to hear your feedback and suggestions.  If you would subscribe to and like my videos, that would be pretty awesome too!   Now to the videos.   Enjoy!
