Well its Monday!
That means its time for another Monday’s with My Time Video!
If you use a Google reader or other program you will have to watch it here, on my blog. SORRY! Not sure HOW that all works.
All I can say is due the vacation and sickness, then my new video editing (which I was UNABLE to use :C GRR!) I had one heck of a time making this one today! I’ll spare you the details, but I think the end result was worth it, and hope you do too.
My goal for today is to help you learn some photo software so you can create your own sketches and such. That is something I get asked about a lot.
I was leery about continuing videos, but I will move forward since so many asked I don’t quit! I have my disclaimer-that I will include with every post!!
NOTE: If you click ON the thumbnails AFTER the video it takes you to the Veoh site. Some of the content there I am told is “R” rated and you may not want to do that around young children. So if you just watch the video here on my blog, and avoid the thumnails you should be OK. Not sure WHY they don’t have ONLY stamp related videos pop up, but I guess some aren’t.
Bottom line: Click at your own risk!
I am not responsible for content that links to the videos from the Veoh site.
Thank you 😀

I hope you enjoy today’s video!
This is the Sketch that I will show you how to make from the beginning drawing (and the inspiration source), to creating it on my computer, to the making of the actual sample, as seen here!
No Lion, you are the best!
This is card I will create on the video, utilizing the sketch above.
This card uses Life’s a Jungle by CTMH.I got mine HERE. I think its SOOOO adorable. I needed MORE boy stuff. I got rid of most of it, then when its time to MAKE a boy card I cringe! LOL! Granted it can be used for ANY theme with the sentiments.
I also do MORE Copic coloring, and use Fun Flock in the video.
I decided to make yet ANOTHER boy card (for my stash!) for all of you out there who beg for more BOY themed ideas 😀 This is an area I promise to work on more!
Genuine Boy
I love Dress Up Billy for Boy stuff! The dog is from the Lily & Billy accessories set (a must have!).
I think he looks so cute, skateboarding off the card!
Used MORE Stampin’ Up! patterned paper. Feels good to actual SUE what I have instead of BUYING more stuff I really DON’T need (right?).
I had fun with the layering of it all.
I hope you get to try the sketch OR if you can make your own!
Should be fun! The entire video is PACKED with info.
Well that’s all fore me now. I talk enough on the video to last a lifetime 😀
I love to hear your feedback.
Thanks for visiting me here.
Till tomorrow.

Thanks for continuing with your tutorials, Lauren! I can tell that you are becoming more comfortable about being in front of your camera. You’re doing a terrific job and I appreciate the great amount of time you must spend on these. Thanks!!!
Thanks so much for a wonderful tutorial I have been looking for one on this subject forever. This is my first time to your blog but it won’t be the last.
That was the best video yet! Nice work and lots of tips and hints and help. Loved it! Loved the card. Great job. Thank you so much. Keep it up and bah humbug on the gripers! They are not required to read or participate! For those of us that do, we thank you.

Thanks for another great tutorial and card!
Adorable cards. I look forward to seeing the video but right now I need to attend to a sick child. This year has just been awful with sickies. I hate it. I hope that we are about done.
Thanks again for great inspiration.
Hej!
I was blog-hopping and found yours. Stunning cards! Warm greetings from Sweden – Anki
Great video! I know so many people have asked me how to create a sketch from Photoshop (pretty similar) and I’ll be referring them here 😀
If you decide to do tutorials of your computer again, there is a great free software called Camstudeo (http://camstudio.org/) (Jessica Sprague turned me onto it) that will record your voice and the screen clicks without you having to hold a camera.
So so cool! I love your videos! But this one really really I love! Love the tips and the way you showed us! So creative!
Hugs!

That was a fantastic video. Loved seeing how you do your stuff. Love the cards.
SO CUTE! Thanks Lauren, for sharing with us!
Thanks for the wonderful tutorial Lauren! I love the way you made your videos. Have a wonderful day!!
Thanks so much for a great tutorial! I’ve had my PSPX2 for several months now and never knew how to access those specialty shapes. That alone was awesome! 🙂
Would you believe I just saw some of that toilet gel this morning and never paid attention to the design of the box? I guess I need to “open my eyes” because I really love the cards you’ve made. Who knew toilet cleaning gel would be so inspiring? 😉
Hip hip hooray! (insert clapping and hooting) Lauren I am so grateful that you are continuing your video tuturiols. Great work! A very informative video I never knew how you came up with the sketches.
I to agree your are becoming comfortable in front of the camera. Thanks for all your work you put into making your creations and videos.

Lauren, the video was great. I had to chuckle at the end though when you came back to add the flowers. You just couldn’t stand it could you? LOL!
Love your other card too! It’s definitely all boy!
Lauren, thanks for another great video! I love the little lion! I really appreciate you spending “your time” sharing your awesome talent with all of us…you really are a sweetheart!!! Thanks again!

I have that set! I love the elephant and use it when I miss a birthday or something – sometimes on purpose as it is so cute. I use the tiny little mini brads for it’s eyes and tie a bow on the trunk of the elephant. I will check out the video later – I am sure it is fantastic! I just want to have more time to play and watch at my leisure.
LOL….girl you crack me up! I found myself watching the video and I already know how to do it….hahaha….great job!
LOVE the layout and your cards are super cute! Think I’ll use that one soon 😉
Glad you decided to continue with the video! Love them! I also liked how you created the “grass” for the lion card! So creative! I’m hoping to do a card with this sketch…I just received a cute Whiff of Joy stamp that would work nicely with the sketch! TFS!
Wow…lauren, I learned so much from your video! Thank you for showing each step from start to finish. now you’ve got me looking all around me for inspirational layout material! The lion is adorable too…I’m going to check out CTMH stamps next!
Thank you so much, Lauren! I love your videos! You sharing so much treasured information to us! Thank you so much! The first thing in the morning I usually do is checking your blog in order to find an inspiration!
Love your sketch! I also made a card right after watching you!
Your lion is so cute!!! And Billy is the best boy!
Thanks so much for the computer program tutorial as well as how you add dimension to a character image!!! I think I will use your sketch for a card.
I loved the tutorial and I tried the sketch at home and i loved how my card turned out… You ideas are awesome.
Stephanie

What an amazing tutorial! Thanks so much for your daily inspiration and the “how to” on the translation of sketch to computer….just what I was wanting to know! I’m so happy I stumbled across your blog a few months ago!!!! Not only do you provide much inspiration in crafting but in life as well!
Hi Lauren, thanks so much for continuing with your tutorial videos…i love them!! This one was great…so much information, i have always wondered how to do the ‘sky’ in a background….it’s easy when you see how! LOL…thanks again, Stephanie 🙂
Fantastic tutorial Lauren! I love the way you created your lion, the video shows the technique so well and is so inspiring. Loved the sketch creation too and how you describe evereything so well. It teaches us so much. Thankyou, your a star!
Watched the tutorial – fascinating how differently you approach things. Eventually made a card which can be found here http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/gallery/photo/1269954?cat=500&ppuser=132530. Thanks for sharing as usual.
Lauren,
I had to comment after watching this video. Although I’m a dedicated follower, I’m not normally a “commenter” r” so I must be really impressed to actually type out my comment. I hope you will do more start to finish videos like this one. I never think I have time to watch these and I discovered that I can put you on my laptop and you can run while I emty the dishwasher. I stop and look close when you get to something really detailed. This video is just so informative. I have thousands of dollars of craft supplies and I have the hardest time getting something put together. This is so helpful for me. THANK YOU for doing this video and please do more start to finish projects…it helps me visualize the thought process. Excellent work!
I was very happy to seek out this net-site.I wished to thanks in your time for this wonderful read!! I definitely having fun with each little bit of it and I’ve you bookmarked to take a look at new stuff you weblog post.
