What am I doing?

I am so bad about keeping up with blogs and journals.  I have great plans, but seem to struggle following through.  I post my sales and business related stuff on FB, Twitter, Tumblr, Pinterest and send out a Newsletter... phew! 

I think I'm just going to use this to share some of my journey... so if you are interested, this is what is going on with me and Memory Mosaic, right now. :) 

I have wanted to learn to make some of my own elements from scratch... I know it might surprise some of you, but most Digital Scrapbook designers use a lot of CU templates we purchase.  That is why, as you look at different designer's kits, you are likely to see similar graphics, just put together in different ways.  Not that this is bad, it is totally normal and acceptable.  We all have our own take on stuff and most of the time kits come out totally different.  But, still I have wanted to "up my game" a little, so with that in mind, I have signed up for a couple "Procreate" classes, and I have been playing around in the program.  

My daughter, (who is a very talented artist in her own right) sat down with me last night and showed me how she is making "stickers" in Procreate.  I honestly probably learned more from her one on one, side by side on the sofa, time last night, than I have learned from all the classes and videos I have taken! :)  

So here are a couple things I drew last night... not finished but yeah, fun. 

Just a couple doodles, I haven't actually turned them into "stickers" yet, and I'm not sure where it will end up as far as "scrapbooking" goes, but it was fun to play around with. And it got my creative juices        flowing. :) 

The other thing I've been working on is learning how to make Scrapbook Pages on my iPad... I will save that for another post. :)  

What new things are you learning?  How are you being creative? I would love to hear about your adventures.

WELCOME FEBRUARY!

 Hope everyone is doing well.  We are dealing with some freezing rain here this morning, but it is suppose to warm up as the day goes on.

February 1st means time for the New Buffet Release at GingerScraps!  If you aren't sure what the "Buffet" is you should check it out!  All the designers work together using 1 color swatch and make some amazing kits/packs.  Most are available separately and bundled.  So you can mix and match what you want, if you don't want the whole bundle.  These are always marked at 50% OFF from the 1st-5th of the month.

Here is mine for February: 

This is the second in my limited series on finding ways to celebrate each month. Did you know that February 3 is Feed the Birds Day, or that February 13 is World Radio Day? There is literally something to celebrate every day of the month!!

Hope you have a blessed day!  Stay safe and Happy Scrapping!
