December 22, 2012

Something cheery (albeit a little big goofy)

I had to record a very brief video message a few weeks ago for a very special scrapbooking juggernaut of a gal (Becky Higgins), and I decided to compile a series of outtakes. My contribution to Becky was only 11 seconds long. The outtakes? So much more than that.

A little holiday cheer—and goofiness—for you.

An Outtake for XMAS from Cathy Zielske on Vimeo.

    Cathy! That was hilarious. Your Clarice Starling is dead on, as is your Holly Hunter, although that one made me spit out my spinach salad because I was laughing so hard. Merry Christmas Cathy, hope its a great one for you and your family. Looking forward to more silliness from you in 2013.

    A digi shop request—I’m been searching for a 4×6 monthly calendar digital element. I’m planning to do Project life again but more loosely, with a month calendar to introduce every other spread rather than a week title card.

    Does that make any sense? I’ve seen some 3×4 calendar cards, and some digital elements to make big calendars and even circle ones, but no 4×6—even though I know a lot of people switching to a more monthy style. I’d LOVE a CZ style card—maybe solid colored with white for the month/dates.

    I’ll keep my eyes peeled for you to offer something—here’s hoping!

    Cathy — seriously. You. are. awesome. Merry Christmas!!

    Carmen.

    P.S. Seriously didn’t know how to handle the capitalization there — is it caps for every word, or is it still one sentence with gratuitous punctuation and thus requiring no capitalization. Why do I stress over such things…. Keep hearing those j-school instructors and English lit profs in the back of my head, I guess. Anyhow, happiest of holidays to you and yours. 😉

    Argh. I forgot to add a question mark after “capitalization”!! Here are some extras to hang on your tree: ?????????

    Why does 6×4 sound weird? Most photos are horizontal and yet we usually say 4×6, right? I’m all confused, but yes—six in width, four in height to fit the Project Life pages.

    I’m excited you might make them! Will keep checking back! I can’t wait to set up my PL album to be ready for 2013:)

    Annnddd this is why we take your classes. Not because they teach great things (because they do), not because they are packed with wonderful tips and tricks (because they are), not because you are perfect in every way (because you are), but because you are real. You are fun, witty, definitely charming, and you do not take yourself too seriously. Thank you Cathy Zielske.
