Creativity Prompt – Waterfall Mini-Album

Friday, February 6th, 2009

Waterfall Mini-Album For this week’s Creativity Prompt I have a fun little project for you – The Waterfall Mini Album. It’s a whimsical album that showcases your treasured memories in a playful way.

I have seen a couple of these mini-albums online but non had provided any instructions for assembling it. Therefore I have reversed engineered this album by trial and error with copy paper, until I managed to get it right. It ended up looking nothing like the ones I have seen online, but I love it and I can call it ‘mine’.

Now you can learn from my mistakes and have the full proof way of making your own waterfall mini-album…

Creativity Prompt – Make A No-Stitch Notebook

Friday, January 30th, 2009

Kraft no stitch notebook After yesterday’s introduction to the new title on Creativity Prompt: “On The Catwalk” here comes a video tutorial on how to make the notebook, featured on yesterday’s post, using Papertrey Ink’s products.

This notebook is made without stitching and is super easy to make, yet it has this special “artisan” look that we all love. This is the notebook that everyone will ask: “Where did you get it from?”.

So,… Are you ready?

Creativity Prompt – Make A Mini-Book In 10 Minutes – Video Tutorial

Friday, January 23rd, 2009
10 minute book - closed
10 minute book - opened

My favorite projects are both quick and easy to make, which provide me with instant gratification and an appetite for more. This is why I immediately fell in love with Hagit’s mini-book, when I stumbled upon it.

I asked for Hagit’s permission to “reverse engineer” her project and she told me she’s got the idea from Moran, another talented Israeli artist. (Moran has also posted a tutorial, in Hebrew). Both of them gave me their gracious permission.

As you can see, my “reverse engineering” has brought me to a slightly different place, but my inspiration is definitely derived from Hagit and Moran – so THANK YOU!!!

In this week’s creativity prompt I am going to show you my way of creating a mini-book in about 10 minutes. (Depends on whether your tools and supply are at hand or not…)

What do you think about my second trial at putting together a video tutorial… I am keeping on experimenting with the webcam’s placement. Not quite there yet 🙂

Thank you so much for all your kind comments and e-mails on my first video tutorial. It really encouraged me to go ahead and make some more.

I would also be very happy to see your own mini-book creations, so don’t be shy and share 🙂

Creativity Prompt – Chunky Mini-Album – First Video Tutorial

Friday, January 16th, 2009

Chunky Mini-Album
After long deliberations with myself (I admit. I have those.) I have decided to go ahead, roll up my sleeves and make a video tutorial. I have chosen to make a project similar to a former creativity prompt – a mini album I have prepared from a recycled cardboard box, for my nephews’ and niece’s photos.

I hope you will enjoy this tutorial and that the instructions are clear enough. However, bear in mind that this is my first attempt at a video tutorial, so it’s a bit rough around the edges (and then some). Therefore I would be much appreciative for any feedback – good and bad, so I can apply it to my next videos.

Covering the cardboard (which is the same as covering chipboard) with patterned paper is a step which is repeated in many creativity prompts. So it’s good to have it “on tape” for you to see the way I am going about it. I believe that even in poor quality, a video is more explanatory than a photo.

This week’s creativity prompt is brought to you in a video form… Enjoy!

The papers I used on my tutorial were from Basic Grey Wassail 6×6 Paper pad.

The song on my video was made and performed by my brother in law and his friend while they were still in high-school. I was amazed at their talent and I would like to know what you’re thinking as well 🙂

Enjoy!!!
