Story.Sketch.Color. Video

Good Monday morning and welcome to the first installment of my Story.Sketch.Color. video series. I'm so excited to finally have this to share with you. It answers the question that I get the most around here - "how do you come up with your ideas and what's your process?" I've tried to answer that with this video blog post. Pull up a chair and join me for a little scrapbooking. Oh and excuse the audio at the very beginning. I promise my voice isn't that shrilly high in real life - it goes back to normal in a few seconds.
The Story:  
Documenting family traditions.
The story of how/why Nicolas got his name.
The Sketch:
Download a copy of the sketch here.
The Colors:
Navy, aqua, gold.
Stella and Rose by My Mind's Eye

A close-up of the details.
The story.
And the finished page.
This was fun to do and I am already working on the next one. Let me know how you like it and if there's anything else you'd like to see in the future.
Thanks so much for watching!

  3. I never leave comments, but wanted to say thank you for the time put in to making the video. I love you clean style of scrapping and have stalked your blog for a while looking for inspiration. The videos add a whole new level of inspiration. I know they take time to make, and wanted you to know they are appreciated.

  6. I loved the video! Very inspiring! Can't wait for the next one! Question: When you print journaling cards or the small date sticker how did you get it to go through the printer without jamming or saying it is the wrong size/paper type?
