Process Video | ‘today’ | scrapbook layout | 12x12 layout This Messy Desk 2020-06-13 | I hope this video sees you well, I was having a rough day yesterday when I filmed this.There’s so much going on in the world, so much to think about: People I love, for whom the going’s on currently massively affects, taking time to look at my own behaviours, micro aggressions and the many ways I can be a better person, teacher and friend. Challenging the views of other people I love and care about, having really tough conversations despite not having seen these people for many months because of Covid. Everything going on in the world really took its toll yesterday. I decided to try to document what I could - my journaling is incoherent, rambling and only gently touches on the depth of feeling I had. I tried to use scrapbooking to switch off (which very often works) but yesterday it was just a painful process and it took me 4 HOURS to finish this layout!!! Ergh.

How To Turn Handwriting Into Cut-files This Messy Desk 2019-08-18 | Hey! Today I'm sharing a 'How To' video - how to change your handwriting in to a cut-file so you can make some fun titles and incorporate your handwriting into your layouts in a new and exciting way! I don't have an iPad - so this is going to be a very basic process and all you need is a cricut, your phone and a marker pen. I'm sure this could be adapted for the Silhouette, but as a Cricut user I'm afraid I can't help you with that! I hope you enjoy the video and that it gives you some fun ideas.
