I rather feel that the poor blog is being neglected lately .... but what can I say? I am away teaching my new Journal Magic Class and busy producing videos and class material.
I'm definitely NOT made for Hollywood as I find producing and editing videos to be akin to having my teeth pulled! Nevertheless, I am a perfectionist and for each 10 minute segment there is 2 hours of editing work that goes along with it and considering each week I am making 10 to 12 videos, one set for CS users and another complete set for PSE users - I have my work cut out for me.
It would probably be fun to share one of the "pre" videos sometime - one with all the horrendous out-takes included where you have stomping husbands, cats snoring on your lap or the telephone and doorbell tinkling in the background? Perhaps not!
Anyway, this is one of "my" journal pages which includes some digi scrap, various clipped masks of my own stuff and bits of ephemera and altered photos.
I am thrilled with all the wonderful images the students are creating. Here are a few that you can find out and about in Google Land:
Miles Beyond The Moon
Miz Carla
Stamping Art
I daresay you can find a few more if you hunt them down on Flickr!
As for now, I am off to bed. There is MORE snow falling and I daresay I will need the energy for shovelling when I wake up!
I'm laughing because I've been out of the loop doing the work IN YOUR CLASS :D this digital stuff is fun and very addictive!
Love your latest journal page--very beautiful. Miss you and hope you can come out and play soon!!

H.B.D.!!

I would LOVE to see your bloopers! And I looked at the class details (again) and I say: I would love to take this some day. wow.
Well, as for my saying that I'M busy, that's utter poppycock, because YOU, lady, ARE. Woah! I think editing videos and trying to get them perfect would be horrifying! Those silly, rambling, non-HD thingies I put on my blog are wonkifying enough, without having to also be coherent and not fuzzy!
I'm sending out some video-preparing mojo to you, as well as a hug. So, there.

Your journal page is, of course, beautiful. Sorry you're lacking blog time, but delighted you're spending the time on the online class and videos because I love the class.

Thanks for the nice press Marie :-) I think a bloopers video would be a hoot!

Lost Aussie Bloopers.
A bonus for buying all of your course. Will set a motza I am sure.

Creaking chair, groaning dog, neighbor's obnoxious truck...I hear you, sister! However, all your hard work is paying off. The videos are wonderful and your class is terrific. Great work, Marie!

Love the above images. I am so sorry to miss this class - I am in the process of trying to sell my house and buy another. I really do not know how you manage all your moves - I am looking around and want to jump in my car and run away. If all goes well and we do move I want to scale down and live a much more simple life - no more clutter.

I think my sister Ree & I are going to have to take your course when we can. She loves photography and wants to learn how to use Elements with her photos.
I'd love to see the out takes but would appreciate the great job you'd do with the video teachings.
