Layout love at first sight!
So I was in town yesterday in Bath and we have a shop called Anthropologie. They always have really elaborate and beautiful window displays but the one I saw today I thought would look awesome as part of a scrapbook layout. Then I saw some tissue paper in Paperchase that I completely loved and the rest is history!!! Layout love at first sight! Here is the process video for it https://youtu.be/BGKtQomwGww and a picture of the finished article as well as a list of of the products used below.

Getting into the rhythm of it!
So I'm on a bit of a roll and videoing everything I do now. Not so easy when you are working in a corner of the kitchen but I think I'm getting into the rhythm of it now. It took me a lot less time to produce this than the others. I've learned that less waffling is the way forward! I made this little wedding card to give to a friend tomorrow and managed to get it made and the video editing in one evening! Much speediness!! Now that ive got a few subscribers on YouTube I don't want to let them down by not continuing to post...no pressure! Anyway here is the finished card and a link to the process video. https://youtu.be/dVEhHJShit0

Daliahs and another video
So I reeeeeally struggled with this canvas. I wanted it to have a delicate floral look but on reflection I think the texture paste I initially started with was too heavy. I don't think I will ever be fully satisfied with this but hopefully someone will like it and buy it off me. I also did my second process video for this canvas but I reworked it so many times it has become rather long. https://youtu.be/W3Yp31wikXE
I continued with it and kept in all the reworkings mainly because I think this is a process that everyone goes through and I wanted to 'keep it real' so to speak and let everyone see that I'm not perfect and that things require repeated effort in order to come out with a good result.
Here is the finished canvas and below a list of products I used.

Process video is up!!!
Its official! I have managed to get a process video up on YouTube!!Its not particularly good but I'm learning absolutely loads by doing it and I know that I will improve as I do more of them. I'm sure I will go back to it in a few years and be horrified by its quality. I started off really small by doing a mini canvas so I didn't get overwhelmed but even editing the video took me hours! I really need to speed up what I'm doing too. Its only a tiny canvas but the video was 11 minutes long. If I do a bigger canvas it could go on for hours. Here is the link to the YouTube video and a picture of the final product. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4M1ObHawQz8
