I Love New

I love new babies...this is my cousin's baby Izayah.  Such a handsome boy :)

This digital page was published in Scrapbook News and Review Magazine's February 2013 issue.  (For digital credits, just click on the image.)



I love how I can do a digital page without having to do all the stitching!  I find stitching so labor-intensive that I don't tend to bring it into my traditional scrappy projects.  But when it comes to digital pages, you bet I include lots of stitches to embellish my layout.

Okay, so I took some time today to take Donna Salazar's new class at The Art Studio for Scrapbook News and Review!  I loved it!  I've been meaning to tackle a canvas and with my beginning Mixed Media skills, it seemed overwhelming.  But after taking the class, I feel like have direction and she makes it look so easy.  It is an uncomplicated approach to building a canvas.

I'm very excited to get started!  I'll be sure to share my work of art with you all!

I've also been hard at work filming and editing short fun videos to share on my YouTube channel.  My newest video is set to music for those people interested in viewing the creation of a scrappy project without the talking.  I noticed a lot of my videos with high view counts were those videos so I decided to do a series called Scrapping to Music.  The first video is geared toward beginners and how I approach designing my scrapbook pages.

I hope you likey!  Give me some love by liking the video and/or leaving a comment and maybe even sharing it!

Much Love,

Mo

Smooch...Kiss..Swak

Facebook gets a bad rap, I know.  It's just like anything in life, use it wisely and it will be to your benefit.  My family knows this....I frequently poke through their albums, Instagram photos, status posts and find lots of fun events in life to scrapbook for them.  When I can, I'll add any captions from Facebook and add them to the layout as journaling.

I pulled this adorable photo of my niece kissing her Uncle...priceless!  I think I've scrapped quite a few pages and soon (I hope) I'll have the time to print and put them in albums!

This happens to be a digital layout I created for the February 2013 issue of Scrapbook News and Review Magazine.  (As always, all credits are available on my Flickr site, just click on the photo to bring you there).

I've got a new YouTube video up.  Watch me make a fun tag with gesso, gelatos, inks and stamps!  I've also got a couple more videos I'm editing and other ideas a-brewing in this peanut head of mine!  In a couple of them I let you see my funny faces and my constant hand-talking...ugh!  I decided to take the plunge and let you guys see me talk once in awhile since I'm feeling more comfortable filming and watching myself.

I've even got some new ideas for video series so I'd appreciate your love and support, likes and comments because my channel is like a ghost town!  LOL!  Tell me what you'd like to see and I'll do it if I can!  Give me some lovin' and help me spread the word!

Hugs,
Mo

Celebrating with Sisters

Here is a digi share for you!  This was published in the February 2013 issue of Scrapbook News and Review Magazine.  I love the play of pattern, the addition of ink and lots of lovely digi layers!

Digi is a fun way to play with things you probably wouldn't normally attempt.  I added some chevrons, circles, and fun journaling arrows.  I really have to attempt lifting a digital page to create a traditional page.  I'm sure I can come up with some fun stuff!  Hmmmmm...will have to think on that one...what do you think?

We celebrated my little sister's birthday by spending a night out on the town!

I sure do love my bffs!
