Lazy LSNED and Project of the Day

Dear Scribblers

I thought I would show you another one of my paper layouts today.

This is of the very lazy Sunday I previously blogged about using the digital layout. I thought you would like to see the difference between the two versions. I've kept the paper pages as simple as possible so I can achieve making both versions every day without taking up too much time.

Project of the Day... is back! Here's one for you to try. Take one of your favourite photos are try using it on a number of different layouts. How about a digital version? 12 x 12 size? Then 8 x 8? Try placing it on a clear plastic sheet? Or on a circular page? How different does it look each time? Which is your favourite and why? Try coming up with other ideas. I'll love to see your finished projects.

Happy Scribing!

Weather or not! A LSNED layout.

Dear Scribblers

I loved Shimelle's prompt the other day on Learn Something New Every Day. She asked us to take a look at the nature around us. Could we notice that Summer was turning into Autumn?

For me, it was the other way round! The weather forecast has been set for doom, gloom and heavy rain, but when I got up it was blue skies all the way. (Sorry, I don't know where the poem came from - can only find 'anon'. If you know, please let it in the comments. Thank you.)

It's a pity it's all change now! That forecast is finally true.

What's the weather like where you are?

Interpretation with LSNED

Dear Scribblers

How do you use the papers and embellishments you are going to use? Do you choose the photo first, and then the papers? Or the other way round? What about if you are doing a series like this, and you've limited your colour palette, how do you add interpretation to your page?

For example, I already had my colours set, and the photo and title ready for my layout below. I thought to myself, what can I add to bring it all together?

I thought about the picture of the clear sky. I thought about the title of blue sky thinking. What did that remind me of? Of course...

... Butterflies!

LSNED Update and Stuff!

Dear Scribblers

Just to let you know how I'm getting on with LSNED.

I'm up to day 23 on my paper pages. Result! Unfortunately, I haven't had the chance yet to photograph half of them, but stay posted and I promise I'll upload them as soon as I can. I'm completely up to date on the digital pages, like this one below:

These objects represent numerous aspects of my personality. There's crafting, screenwriting, technology, journalling, sci-fi, fantasy, photography, cats, travel, film making, angels, spirituality, fashion and beauty goodies.

What makes you... YOU?

The Artist's Way with LSNED

Dear Scribblers

This book changed my whole outlook on creativity! To anyone who writes, draws, paints, makes music. crafts, acts, dances, I would recommend you to take a look at Julia Cameron's website to find out more.

Following the 12 week course in The Artist's Way got me journalling and writing affirmations every single day. It helped me lift long term blocks and got me focused. Have a look at my previous post about this great book too.

I'm Forever Blowing Bubbles with LSNED

Dear Scribblers

I thought I would show you another one of my paper pages today, and it's one you've already seen in digital format. 

Do you notice the blue backing paper with the bubbles? This is actually not a craft product, but an advert sheet in a magazine for deodorant, of all things! The reason why I kept it to use is that it is actually a hologram. (I think that's the best term for it.) It's a fairly thick plastic sheet and when you twist the sheet, the bubbles move! Fabulous. Perfect for a watery page, don't you think?

Happy Scribing!

Relearning with LSNED

Dear Scribblers

Some pages aren't always directly about learning... this one is based on relearning.

We 'found' a favourite spot once more.

Happy Scribing!
