I am not usually a cardmaker. The small real estate is a challenge, and 6x6 paper pads lend themselves to cards because of their scale. As a 12x12 scrapbook page maker, I mainly use 6x6 for die-cuts. However, a couple of orders from Scrapbook.com came with Paper Rose Winter Blooms 6x6 pads. I'm putting Christmas away; cards came to mind. I did not want to store these pads. I determined I'd rather store a head start on Christmas cards. So, I've got that jump start on next year's holiday, and you thought the craft stores' Christmas in July and August was early, LOL!
My craft supply stash is large and ancient, as is my camera collection.
I have considered crafting on my YouTube channel. I like watching other people's processes and ideas, and I know I'm not the only one. So, I signed up for a video production and editing class at SCC. I looked for suggestions on YouTube for equipment, and I learned that my 12-year-old Canon EOS 6D is suggested as an affordable starter camera. I already owned it, and the lens was recommended by one person. When you already have the recommended equipment, it's more than affordable. Alas, my GoPro is version 3 and almost at museum status. I don't need one. I am considering upgrading my iPhone, too. I have a good iPhone Lavalier microphone, but I will get new microphones for my DSLR.
My first day in class-
I have not used the video option on my DSLR, so I need to learn that. The iPhone has so many capabilities that I never took the time to learn how to use that part of my Canon 6D. However, the DSLR is mandatory for this class, so I will need to know. I may be out of my depth; we'll see!
It's nice to be back to blogging. I'm slowly reintroducing those things that made me so happy before. I have been inspired by so many online creators, and it's not just their creative work that inspires me. Victoria Calvin inspired me to go to my gym for a workout today.
