Sketchbook Project 2011 (post for Carmen!!)

I have now finished The Sketchbook Project journal and sent it off to America!
Carmen mentioned that she would love to see a video of the finished journal, and as I have no technical knowledge what so ever, Paige (please hop over and take a look at Paiges blog, she is a very talented scrapbooker, mini booker, card maker and now, video editor!) very kindly agreed to do the video. Paige videoed it last week and has spent the WHOLE day today editing it for me (I was there but wasn't much help!), putting all the poetry verses and music on. She has done a FANTASTIC job and I can't thank her enough!!
So, this ladybird production video is for you Carmen...enjoy!!



or view it here at YouTube
For this project I wrote two poems to help inspire my artwork. I have done one verse per double page, so that is what the scrolling text is because the verses are not that easy to read on some of the pages.
Big Hugs Paige x
Thanks for looking,
Sami x

Great video Sam. What a great way to showcase your sketchbook. It is so impressive. Did you get it off in the post? Would love to hear how it goes and how many people check it out.

Happy New Year to you and your family

what a fantastic video of your superb art..love the poems and all the different types of sketches.

as for zentangles..thanks for your comments on my zebras..they take ages to do (you start off sketching a zebra then draw around it 3 times in a circle then fill in the gaps with all different patterns and hope your black pen doesnt run out.)

I've finaly worked out why I couldn't post my comments to you!! It's brilliant, you should be very proud of yourself, I am. Paige has done a great job videoing it, a superb keepsake, as you couldn't keep the original. xx

Thankfully our mutual buddy Carmen popped one of your journal pages on Pinterest this evening, and now here I am :)

I especially love what you did for last year's sketchbook project. I have signed up for this year's, are you doing it again?
