5am to 5pm

12×12 layout
5am_to_5pm
There was a long time when I woke up at 5am so I could fit in my exercising. I still exercise every day but not at 5am, lol. My Mondays were pretty structured at that time (2007) so I decided to document my 5-5:00 schedule visually with a few words, some pictures, and some memorabilia (a piece of homework, a tea packet, and a label from asparagus) to represent cooking at 5.

A Peek

12×12 layout

Journaling to Trinity reads: You are in a miniature doll phase right now. It’s just about all you want to do. If we are at home you’re playing them. If we are not, you’re thinking about them! No television for you lately.

Color Play

8.5×11 layout
color_play
Journaling to Aiden reads: Aiden, you came home from school just ecstatic about a color experiment. I love that you drew us a diagram first of how we should drop the colors into the milk (top center of bottom photo) before adding the dish soap. It’s fun to watch you try new things and it’s fun to see your process.

So…

…what story do you have to tell that would fit the mood of the Circular Anchor Flexible Template?

Paperclipping 119 – Expand a Color Palette

Monday, September 14th, 2009

Paperclipping 119

This video is available to members only.

Do you wish you could break away from the matchy lines of paper products so you can more easily come up with your own color palettes for scrapbook pages and other papercraft projects? Today I’ll take you through my process of picking out the colors for the layout below…

2CreativeBirds
Journaling reads: We met through the internet because of our mutual hobby and close geography but we became real friends because of each other’s creativity and passion. With so much similar and so much different in our styles…we better define our creative styles because of each other. I love having an artistic friends like Dedra Long. She inspires me.

Thank you to Stampin’ Up!
who provided the stamps for all of the stamped pieces. The ink and ribbon is also Stampin’ Up!.

Note: Today is Dedra Long‘s birthday! Happy birthday, girlfriend. I hope it’s a great one.

Now, back to business…

I find that complicated ideas usually make more sense when I review them later because of other things I’ve learned since my first time around. That’s one of the benefits of having a Paperclipping Membership and having access to the archives. Episodes 59 & 60 will make more sense after watching today’s episode. And today’s episode will make more sense after watching 59 & 60 again. It’s a process.

If you’re a Member and feel this is an area you want to work on, I recommend you re-watch these two other episodes from the archives after watching today’s tutorial…

Paperclipping 59 – Mixing Patterned Paper
Paperclipping 60 QT – Clashing Papers

Update: Below is a layout I made using the papers I picked in episode 59. I just got around to finishing it…
