Digital Art Journal

Last month I started a challenge over at SDD. It was hosted by Artful Scrapping Outside the Box. I did the cover of my art journal. First I did it digitally.


Then I added some scrapbooking supplies that I had in my craft room collecting dust. It was a lot of fun to use all the stuff I already had again. This is my completed cover for my art journal.


Unfortunately, Artful Scrapping Outside the Box was only a guest at SDD for June. She has moved to another site and is continuing her art journal challenges at the new location. You can find her challenge here. This is my layout for the challenge.

Art Journal

I started an art journal in 2008. Of course, everything I start always gets put on the side because I never have time to finish it. I was putting quotes and color combinations or anything that made me smile into the book. This month over at SDD there is a new challenge called Artful Scrapworks Challenge . I'm always up for a new challenge so I decided to participate. In June the challenge is to make your cover. So I found my 2008 journal and since it had no cover on it I started to decorate it. This is my digital version of the cover. Love the colors but I wanted to go hybrid and use some of my neglected scrapbooking supplies.



So after printing up the above page this is what I have as my completed cover. Unfortunately it lost the purple color to it as my printer was out of that color ink.



Anyway as I was stumbling around the web I came across this video which is exactly what I was doing in my journal and thought I'd share it with you. So neat as I was doing that in 2008. Now, to grab my unread magazines and start cutting and clipping again.

Enjoy the video it's cute.

Scrapbooking Fun - NOT!

I like to do scrapbooking challenges and from time to time I like to visit other websites where I can use other designers kits to make my pages. I do this just for fun (no pressure from CT work) and I get pages done for my children's albums that I wouldn't have done otherwise. Scrapbooking should be fun not frustrating.

Being frustrated is not my idea of having fun. I have been a member over at After Five Designs since January 2009 and have participated in their challenges each month and have enjoyed them. However, for the past 2 months I have had some issues with my layouts. In December, two of my layouts were deleted from their gallery and I got an e-mail saying they were inappropriate! I couldn't figure out why my layouts were inappropriate. Finally someone got back to me saying that I used retired designers from their sight. Now, the correct way would have been telling me that originally when they deleted my layout. So I didn't have to track down why my layouts were INAPPROPRIATE!

In January, I did the color challenge. Here are the colors I had to use
What colors do you see? I see ORANGE, PINK, GREEN AND BROWN.

Here is my layout:

I got a PM regarding my layout: "I see you play the "Flavor of the Month" and make a little mistake... so i want to give you the chance to change it.
Because You should work with all this Colors: Brown, Green, Yellow and Orange and you must have all this colors in your Layout. So i think you want the points... so i want to tell you that you can get it and the chance have to change it. Sorry for it. But this are the Rules

WHAT? Where is the YELLOW in the swatch! Please someone tell me? This is so frustrating!

I think I may boycott After Five Designs because I don't need this frustration in my life!
