MIXED MEDIA LAYOUT FOR 2014 CRUISE ALBUM

I've finally edited and uploaded another layout for our 2014 cruise.  I haven't been in my scraproom in weeks and I'm slowly getting through the vids that I have for editing.  I hope to get back to my room soon.  We will be on vacation soon and them when things settle down after that, I should be able to get back to it. I've recently purchased some new mixed media supplies that I'm looking forward to trying out.

I've got several more pages for our 2014 cruise and I also will be starting on the paper bag mini album series that I spoke about before.  I have already decided on the basic design for the album. This will be the first album that I do on camera!  It should be interesting! I can't wait.  I'm itching to make another mini.

Below is the link to my most recent video.  There is a lot of contrast in this layout.  It was unintentional, but it has a rather graphic feel to me.  I made my own embellishments with stamps and watercolors.  I was pretty satisfied with the results and it really didn't take me that long to complete.  

I hope you enjoy the process and don't forget that I've included the supply list below.

Please feel free to ask me any questions or leave a comment.  Thanks for watching!

New Mixed Media Layout Process Video

I've managed to edit and upload another layout. Honestly, I haven't been in my scraproom for a few weeks.  I've been really busy and I hope to get back there soon.  A break never hurts though, right?  I've added another mixed media scrapbook layout process to my channel.  In this layout I use some matte medium colored with Distress Ink, some misting and stamping in the background.  I use some layering for my photos with foliage and stickers.  I use paper and stickers from the Prima Seashore collection.  This is a really embellished layout that was a lot of fun. I feel like it was really busy but that it came together nicely in the end.  Please feel free to give me your feed-back.  It's always appreciated.  I know that I tend to over-do my mixed media (at least it feels that way) and I find it hard to stop when I know I should.  Most of the time I end up satisfied with the results, but throughout the process I sometimes feel like I'm going too far.
I hope you enjoy this process. Thanks for watching!
