~ Digital Art Journaling: Lesson3 ~

I'm quite behind my class at the moment but Lesson 3 saw me picking up a few more techniques in art journaling. I'm so pleased with the class as it's not the end product that interest me but rather what goes on in the creating process that pique me. 

The journaling prompt for this lesson is 'family'. So here's my page:

 I love this quote. I chose this image to show that you don't get to pick who you want in your family. They appear and you just have to accept them. 

TTFN!

Wish I had more time for creating but routines, meetings and daily life does interfere with the creative process! Still I managed to squeeze in time for these...

 Using a kit (100% Me) by Val C. Designs. My first assignment as a CT member. The kit can be purchased at Zig Zag Scrap. 

Not easy having FaceTime with friends in Singapore due to time difference!

I slightly (nah, way) behind in my Digital Art Journaling class. However, I'm not stressed out as I rather concentrate on picking up new techniques and tips with regard to Photoshop. This is part of Lesson 2 whereby the prompt of the day was 'I See'. 

Found a quote for it and the rest was easy!

Squeeze another page for my Dec Daily album...

Day 16. 

Documenting teachers' xmas gifts. Decorated 2 clipboards and spice jars containing sweets.

TTFN!

~ Digital Art Journaling: Lesson2 ~

So glad it's quiet this weekend. Boys had extra curricular activities in the morning but when they were done, we all chilled out at home! Well, I sorted out the laundry as I had loads to wash (did it 3 times)! Then it was time to catch up on my Digital Art Journaling class at Jessica Sprague. 

I've done art journaling on my own but I'm so glad I took the class as I've learnt an amazing amount of techniques which will surely come in useful when I do digi scrapping. I learnt how to use new tools in Photoshop. It's definitely worth the money spent! 

Anyway, Lesson 2 focussed on home. So here's my assignment piece:

While doing this art journal page, I made sure I implemented the techniques that she taught. My idea for this page is to show that no matter which continent I may be in, home is where I made it to be. Hence the 2 globes showing 2 continents, Asia & Europe. 

Have to say, this class taught me a lot about brushes. I never really used them but I'm beginning to turn to them a lot and loving how useful they are. They are a bit like stamps and I used to use stamps a lot on my paper pages so I'm glad to have found a substitute. TTFN!

Day 2 on Digital Art Journaling. It's an assignment and the theme is 'treasure'. Here's my page:

The class came with an enormous amount of supplies and I used them to create this page. Also included supplies from Anna Aspnes, Maya de Groot and Carla Gibson. 

Here's a couple of pages from my Dec Daily album: 

 Day 14 - Having a meal with the PTA group

Day 28 - Made it on the cover of Scrap 365 magazine. 

Gonna be busy the next few days.... sigh! Wish I could just spend a whole day scrapping! Got so much to catch up! TTFN!

~ Digital Art Journaling: Lesson1 ~

In December, I treated myself and bought some classes at Jessica Sprague (the 20% discount sure helped swayed me to them). Still a novice to Photoshop, I'm constantly trying to learn new skills. Anyway, one of the classes was a Digital Art Journaling. It started today and I can't say how pleased I took it. I sure as hell learnt new techniques and how to use some tools in PS. 

Anyway, the prompt for Lesson 1 was 'heart'. So here's my effort: 

I found a quote that I liked and incidentally it belonged to Steve Jobs. So a quick hunt found this photo of him. Well, the creative juices started rolling and therefore this art journaling came about! The size is 5.25x8". Why so that I can print it out and stick them into a book. 

Had fun creating this art journal page. Let see what tomorrow brings. TTFN!
