Here’s my latest How-To video using Artisan 5. Someone recently commented at how few options it seemed for adding text in Artisan. You can imagine the WOW factor after showing her this tip.

As a member of Scrap it Up 365, I love doing the 7 in 7 challenges – one layout a day for seven days. This months theme was “April Fools” and funny layouts. Day 3 asked us to use Puns as inspiration for my layout. Of course, I had to feature my favorite canine-kid!
Stuck!? Sketches April 1, 2017 Challenge / Digi Kit: Forever Woof Bundle
One thing I learned was that I’m not terribly funny. I don’t tell jokes or like to prank others. It made it difficult for me to find inspiration for layouts – but I did love the challenge!

Creative Memories held a virtual crop this past weekend. Although I was too busy much of the weekend to participate, I managed to get one layout done on Friday night.
They had a sketch to use, which I turned sideways. I also used their Digital Denim Blues kit. To see all the challenges, check out CM’s blog!

I thought I would try to do a process video while I created a layout. In this video, I’m using a sketch from Creative Scrappers for Layout a Day (LOAD).

I’m often asked how I learn to use Artisan 5. Typically it’s just by playing around and trying different features. However I also subscribe to the best Artisan 5 training out there! pixels2Pages is a wonderful group of Pixies who work with Artisan and share their tips and tricks daily.
Recently, they have made their Back2Basics class freely available to anyone. This is a great way to get started learning Artisan!

It’s a Layout a Day month! I love these months because not only do I get caught up on my scrapping but I also try using more sketches and templates. Here’s two layouts I created in the first week of LOAD. My focus this month is to work on 400+ pictures from a recent trip to Disneyland.
First, I used the October 1st Stuck?! Sketches Challenge. I’ve been dying to use the embellishments from Kate Hadfield’s All Mad Here digi kit. I have some Alice pictures where you’ll see this kit again. (The paper is from a kit called 2 Cute 2 Scare)
Next is a Scrapping with Liz’s October challenge Template. I used Amanda Yi’s Candid digi kit for this one. I love that Liz makes Artisan friendly templates.

The Sweet Summer Memories Template is really versatile! I used it to capture some beach memories of a friend of mine, but I could see so many different ways and memories to preserve with this one. Maybe I’ll do a one template: many ways blog post down the road? To get this template, just complete the 2 question survey here. If, for some reason, you don’t the template, just let me know and I’ll take care of it.

I can use it when I travel, whether or not I’m connected to the internet. And Historian keeps me organized. I can tag, star rate and tell the story for all my images. I can even push them from Historian into my Forever account. So easy!
