Hey Bryan!, I wonder what you do for a living flying all over the world all the time?...
I have 3 boys and would love to see you use the Cricut Lite Dude cartridge - we wake board, motorcycle, ski, bike, surf (or try to :~) - any of these activities would be great!
Since I just got this cartridge a couple of weeks ago I thought I would go ahead and knock this one out. The artwork on this cartridge is really cool and pretty easy to layer. As I was coming up with this double page layout I thought I would break it into two parts with a couple of short videos.
To day I am going to show you how I work out my layouts. I first start with a sketch.
Sketching my layout allows me the opportunity to work out size (to some degree), color, placement, and where I am going to put my photos.
Once the sketch is done I head to my gypsy to make it come to life. This video shows you some of the tricks I use in building my layouts.
Come back on Thursday to see the cuts and the finished layout.
make it a great one-
I also sketch out my layouts and cards, but I do it with my ds. That way I can figure out all the sizes and shapes first, then work in the colors. Rarely waste any of that precious paper since I started doing that. Couldn't see the video this morning as my computer kept spooling during it, but will try to check it out later. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteThanks for showing how you laid it all out on your Gypsy! Can't wait to see the finshed layout!! :)
ReplyDeleteGlad to see you using the Gypsy layers I haven't quite gotten the nerve to work with them yet. Now I can see that maybe it's not as confusing as i thought. Can't wait to see the rest.
ReplyDeletecool!
ReplyDeleteMakes me want to spend waaay more time with my Gypsy :( I do love her!! I d/l the newest stuff onto it, but haven't had a minute to play with her. Well, maybe I'll stop typin and play.. can't WAIT to see finished product tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteI HAVE DESIGN STUDIO BUT NOT GYPSY. SOUNDS LIKE A GOOD IDEA TO SKETCH OUT THE LAYOUT. MAY TRY THAT ON THE NEXT GO ROUND. BE BACK TOMORROW FOR FINISHED PRODUCT. YOU GO, GUY!

Good video can't wait till tomorrow to see it all come together. Did your background blue get darker? or is it my puter I can hardly read the black lettering on top of the dark blue.
ReplyDelete"DUDE" is my fav cartridge of all the lite ones because it reminds me so much of my son who refers to us as "dude" all the time. I sent my friend on a Wal-mart run when she went to the US last weekend but she was unable to find it for me :( Hopefully soon! Can't wait to see the finished layout.
ReplyDeleteYou are so creative!!
ReplyDeleteyou nailed this one! my favorite part is the snow. i have to admit i spaced out when i saw how you did the snow and i had to go back and watch the video a couple times. haha.
ReplyDeleteThis layout is super cool! Love love love the ginormous mountain with the Gondolas coming down! Have never seen the flip flaps before - gotta get me some of those!
ReplyDeleteI don't have DS or Gypsy, so I always sketch out my designs.Can't wait to see the finish LO.Love the snow!TFS your video.
ReplyDeleteBryan,
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for posting a detailed video!!! :) I always find them to be so helpful!
Do you ALWAYS sketch your layouts first? I guess I even do that for a lot of my cards, too (even if it's just in my mind).
