by now, surely you have heard about "my craft channel"--and it's finally UP and running... and amazing! SO much work...(and i am sure blood and sweat) has gone into this project... and i am so excited and so thrilled to be a part of it. i feel totally honored that i was invited to be one of the hosts! especially when i look at the amazing women that are also involved... the shows are spectacular- and SO inspiring! i mean, when you watch- you just have to look at how each SET has been perfectly tailored to fit each host--just look at all the thought and props and paint that has been invoved there. HUGE 'congrats' goes out to Kristine McKay and her team. I had a great time filming...i do feel lucky that the stuido is only a 30 minute drive from my house- and not a plane ride away! major plus!
this morning my little show had it's debut! my show is called "Create to Remember"... which totally captures exactly WHY i make stuff! here is a screenshot of my show page, and a little description of the show. and here is a link that takes you to my NEWEST (and only) show so far!
on each one of my shows... my goal is to show off something that i love to create- show HOW to create it... and then show a more 'vintage' (projects from my past) ...just to kinda illustrate that i really do 'create to remember! here are a few highlights of what i talk about.. the title of today's show is called "back to back binding" which is just a really great way to make easy books!
this is actaully the very first one that i made using this technique, and i taught how to make it in my 'year to remember' class that i taught at Big Picture Classes in 2007. i serioulsy love this book- it's been a true treasure! it was a fun summer day that we had as a family at a water park- we spent the whole day there. i think its' SO important to document family fun.
here are a couple more of the projects that i show... we made this project at Archivers' Scrapfest!
and this project i LOVE... i have yet to teach it in a class- though i think it would be a great class...
this one is using the mistable papers and gorgeous mistable frame.. i wish you could see it in real life. it's a looker! this is a rare project that i haven't even filled with photos- i think that the papers are SO beautiful... i just haven't wanted to cover them up... maybe i never will!?
major kudos to the folks at My Craft Channel- i thought that my program was really beautifully edited- i think that the camera angles are really great- they really help you see what i am doing, and the quality of video is fabulous! so be sure to check it out! you won't want to miss ANY of the videos!
**spoiler alert** tomorrow (Oct. 6th) i am on with the 'featured buy' which includes a FABULOUS Halloween project - using the Phantom Halloween collection- it's basically a class and a kit! you will love it... so stay tuned for that!
