Ah, finally . . . . . . I've been trying my hand at making a video for the blog and it's been quite a project in itself. Although I've been learning a lot about what not to do, it's also been interesting learning about the Windows Movie Maker while trying to put this video together for the blog. My big lesson learned is . . . . LIGHTING! Yep, you'll see in the video that I need to work on getting better lighting if nothing else. I also was not happy with the way I was presenting the book or the dogs barking in the background so you'll get some nice quiet music for the first video attempt instead. I'll work on my presentation as well for future videos. In addition to the video I will post photos of certain pages and close up views below.
The book is made using Laura Denison's "One Flip, Two Flip Mini Album" instructions and the K & Company Flora & Fauna paper pad. If you'd like to see the video Laura did for this book, go to her blog and click the UStream link there for her videos. There are so many tags and places for photos in this book that I just had to make one. Thanks for the book idea Laura, hope you like what I did wth it.
The cover is made of cardboard with paper overlayed onto it and two binding rings are incorporated into the cardboard to hold all the pages.Very easy to do once you know how.
Inside the front cover is a pocket to include a CD/DVD of all the photographs included inside the book.
This photo mat has the most beautiful velvet ribbon at the bottom. This picture does not do it justice. I found this ribbon at Wal-mart of all places. It's a beautiful dark sage green.
I saw Tim Holtz make this type of flower using his Tissue Tape and I had to try it. It was very easy and looks so much better in person. Then I embellished it with a button center and some acrylic leaves.
This photo mat was made using a portion of one of the papers in the pad. I thought this section was perfect to show off on one side of the photo mat.
Using one of Tim Holtz Journaling Tags, it is hidden behind a three section fold up book that can be used for additional photos or journaling.
This tag is covered using a vellum page that was included in the paper pad. It is secured at top with score tape so that the remaining vellum can be lifted to include journaling or a photo underneath it. The printed vellum paper in the Flora & Fauna paper pad is SO pretty.
This bird is an embellishment card I had in my stash, not sure where it came from but it fit perfectly in this book. It is matted onto some textured cardstock and then matted onto some crumpled Glassine Paper. If you haven't tried the Glassine paper yet, you don't know what you're missing. Love it!
That's the highlights. Be sure to let me know if you have any tricks you've learned regarding videos or photography that you'd like to share. Always looking for ways to improve and since I'm just beginning this blog stuff - I have a lot to learn. All comments are welcome. Thanks for stopping by.
