I've made another video. This time just a process video in high speed

Here's a better photo of the finished layout

I've also recently made a Facebook page where I'll be posting process pictures, finished layouts, anything that I find interesting, and eventually some freebies.

So I had a cool idea to make a scrapbooking video that's like a quick tutorial or a breakdown, basically showing how I made the layout. And with the help of my filmaker boyfriend, I made this stop motion video.

 I hope you guys enjoy the video, and please feel free to give me feedback.

I finally got round to making a how to video. I've been meaning to for ages. I made this layout as I went along and it only took about 2 hours. So proud of my self because normally it takes me a few nights to complete one and I have to get everything sorted and chosen before I even begin to think about gluing stuff down. So I think this is the motivation I need to get scrapbooking done, since I never really seem to do much lately. Maybe I should make some Project Life videos, I'm 4 months behind on that. I used Adobe Premiere Pro and my boyfriend had to teach me how to use it, I had no idea how to use any video editing programmes for a Mac. Ar I miss the simpleness of Windows Movie Maker lol.

My Chemical Romance are making a special version of their song 'SING' with all proceeds going to Red Cross Japan. Their asking for videos, photos and artwork to be in the video, you can read about it on Ray's blog, so I figured I would use my scrapbooking skills to make this peice of art.

I added a New Zealand flag to show where I'm from, but then it looked weird, like I got the flags mixed up lol, so I added the Japanese flag aswell.

And here's the original version of SING, it's such an amazing song.

your first challenge for January over at Punky Scraps is to use this picture for your inspiration to create: 


 and here's my layout. i drew the polka dots with coloured pencils


 so now it's 2011. i hope this year will be kind to me lol. i just got back from holiday a couple of days ago. spent 2 weeks in auckland (nz) with family. i got covered in mosquito bites and got some pretty bad sunburns, but it was awesome to just get away for awhile. i managed to do some shopping for scrapbooking supplies lol. i found a really good shop near my aunties house, where i got some discounted 6x6 paper pads, rubons and chipboard. the second shop i went to is closed till the end of the month, and the third was completly closed down, so that was a bummer.for some reason my dad's camera kept taking over-exposed photos, but my bro let us borrow his and we took a fair amount of photos before it died (we had no way to recharge it). so from then on we could only take videos with my dad's camera.
this pigeon was willing to eat from my hand, but i didn't like the look of it's sharp beack lol:

 lately i haven't been able to do much scrapbooking coz my dad took the laptop out of my scraproom/bedroom so he could convert tapes to mp3s or something. the laptop holds all my sketches and inspiring layouts, so it's kinda difficult scrapping without it, and he just doesn't understand that lol. but at least it's given me a chance to make some christmas cards, i still have about 5 more to make.

and in the spirit of christmas, here's an awesome song by an awesome band:
