Insta-Summer Adventure

summer by the poolNo matter what kind of creating you like to do, you probably take a few photographs along the way! There are always special moments we like to capture, but what about everyday moments?

My friend Danielle over at Scrapper On the Street is always full of ideas to help you capture more than just the special events! She is kicking off a series for a great summer adventure in photos, where she’ll share ideas to capture your summer!

Check out her short video today and join the Insta-Summer Adventure! It’s free!

Wednesday Wonder – Insta-Living Summer Edition

InstalivingIf you are like so many others, you may find yourself taking the same kinds of photos over and over. I bet you’d like to change that up — if it was easy! Well it is!

I’d like to introduce my friend, Danielle Taylor, who is affectionately known by many as “Scrapper On the Street,” from her video series she has done during several Layout-A-Day challenges. She is an avid photographer and scrapbooker, and ended up naming her website, ScrapperOnTheStreet.com. Dani enjoys documenting everyday life and all it entails! She put together a fun, easy class called “Insta-Living Summer Edition.” It’s second run will be August 7-16, 2013.

I participated in the first run of the summer edition, and really enjoyed it. Dani offers inspirational ideas on documenting your life by the photos you take. She offers thought provoking videos on things we often overlook each day.

This class also offers some great information on apps that you can either use on your phone, or your computer to add some pizazz to your photos! Dani takes amazing photos from her phone to use in her scrapbooks, and part of that is due to some great apps she has found and will share information about!

Don’t let summer get completely away without this information!  The class is not a huge time commitment, and the price is just $15.  You’ll also have access to a private Flickr group where you can view photos others in the class are taking!

Do it NOW, before you forget!

Artful Adventures Awarded a Liebster Award for Blogs

artful adventures kristie sloan liebster award

Joanna Grant from Joanna Banana Original Designs who has a blog about Mixed Media with Recycled Materials  kindly gave me a Liebster Award.  It is an award awarded by bloggers to other bloggers.  It’s really about discovering new blogs which don’t have a huge following yet.

Thank you, Joanna for thinking of my blog and giving me this award.  I feel so honored to accept this and pass it on to five other very deserving bloggers!

ABOUT THE AWARD 

This award was designed to be a blog award in the pay it forward fashion. Once you’ve been nominated, you award it to five blogs that you like that have fewer than 200 followers, to encourage new visitors to visit these blogs.

RULES FOR ACCEPTANCE

Thank the person who gave you the award and link back to their blog. Post the award onto your blog. Give the award to five bloggers who you appreciate that have fewer than 200 followers. Leave a comment on their blog letting them know that you have given them this awesome award!

PAY IT FORWARD

It’s hard to choose only five bloggers who I find inspiring but here are my choices of art blogs that have less than 200 followers and that I know you will enjoy:

Beth Solar – ScrappingWonders.com

Danielle Taylor – ScrapperOnTheStreet.com

Alice Boll – ScrapbookWonderland.com 

Gina Z – MesstakenIdentity.com

Heather Dubarry – NoExcusesScrapbooking.com 

(I may have included a blog with over 200 followers as the number of followers was not always listed but I still felt that these individuals were very deserving as some of these are newer blogs!)

Recipients, you may copy and paste to your blog and change the introduction and the list of blog awards. I hope that you decide to participate and award some other very deserving artists. Make their day!!!

Cheers to YOUR Creativity!

Kristie

NOTE:
There really doesn’t seem to be an official Liebster Award site, and if you do the techno-research, you can actually find several versions.  I think it is a great idea, and even in it’s chain letter style, I still appreciate the thought and the idea of supporting other bloggers who are working to offer great content to others!
