 Γεια σας, είναι Vicky εδώ και σήμερα θα πω να κάνω εύκολα παιδίες και ευκαιρήσεις βίντεο. Λοιπόν, πρέπει να δούμε τα εύκολα παιδίες. Η number 1 εύκολα παιδίες που έχω όλη την ώρα είναι αν θα κάνω εύκολα παιδίες και ευκαιρήσεις. Λοιπόν, υπάρχουν δύο εύκολες γιατί έχω πρόσπω να κάνω εύκολα παιδίες και αυτό είναι κυρίως πρώτα, γιατί έχω πολλές ευκαιρήσεις και δεν θέλω να μάθω για αυτά, γιατί δεν θέλω να δώσει την δύο ευκολα παιδίες, γιατί έχω πρόσπω να δώσει τα πρόσπω να κάνω εύκολα παιδίες. Αλλά μετά την ευκολα παιδίες θα φτιάξω ένα ρούμπτουρ, που θα πω πριν σε κάποτε λόγες ευκολα. Λοιπόν, άλλη ευκολα παιδίες που έχω όλη την ώρα είναι όπου βρήκω ευκολα. Εδώ είναι ένα πολύ σύγχρο παιδίες και είναι πολύ δύσκολο να πω, but I mainly get inspiration by the season. Sometimes I get inspiration by a color combination, or by a quote. And many times I get inspired by the stamp that I am going to be working with. However, I do have an online class that is going to teach you a method on how you can find inspiration and how you can translate that inspiration into a layout. I am going to link you down below in the description area to this online class και αν εγώ χρειαζόντας αυτό το βιντεί, θα γίνεις ένα 50% δισκάουντ. Τώρα, εγώ πρόσφευγω τα μία παίδια μου. Όταν βλέπεις ένα βιντεί, δεν πρόσφευγω τίποτα όταν έρχεται σε ένα καρδί. Φεύγω το βιντεί και κάνω το πρόσφευγό της καμερας. Τώρα, η αγή είναι ότι πρέπει να σταματήσω την καμερα, αν πρέπει να πρέπει να πιθυνάω, ή αν κάνω κάτι πουνυκλό, σαν κόλωση για αγές, και όχι εμπροσφευγό του καμερα και όχι που έγινε το βιντεί, και πρέπει να βγω πάνω με αυτή την καμερα για 45 ειντς ή ένα εργασία. Τώρα για όχι δυσκολαία, πρέπει να έχω ένα πρόσφευγό της, τι θα κάνω, και πρέπει να ξέρει το σκέφτα που θα οδηγώ πρόσφευγόντητα, ή πρέπει να έχω ένα φοβόρο, αλλά δεν έχω δισάγωση για τι θα κάνω, και δημιουσιαστώ δεν ξέρω πώς θα φύγω. αυτοί θέλω να είναι αδελί At some times i do have a plan in my mind and as i'm working on it i think might take a different road and I think that's the beauty of it i just shoot the camera and see what is going on you also ask me if I make mistakes of course i make mistakes all the time but I try to somehow cover them up and I usually when I make a mistake on an art journal My friend is Jesu, so I use Jesu as an eraser to cover up the mistake and start over. And if I make a mistake on a card, I can usually stick something on top and cover up everything so nobody will ever know. Now, what do I do for a living and if I have an art background? I am going to take things from the beginning. I do have a university degree and a master's degree in computer science. And I have been working as a high school teacher for ages, teaching computers in high school. But after my blog and YouTube channel became so popular, I quit my job and now my full-time job is crafting. So I am a professional blogger and YouTuber and in the meantime I also do live workshops all around the world. I also participate in online classes and you can find some links on my online classes down below. So do I have any art background? Well, as long as I can remember, I have been drawing and painting. I always had brushes and paints in my hands and as I grew up I went to take some painting lessons. I do have my own oil paintings decorating my house. Of course, my biggest love is card making and art journaling but I am doing many other types of crafts that you don't see on camera from pottery to jewelry making to even showing my own clothes. What do I love most, card making or art journaling? Now, this is a very difficult question because it's so difficult for me to choose one of them. I love them both equally and they give me a different satisfaction when I make a card or an art journal. Now, card making is obviously quicker and it satisfies the OCD in me. I can be very precise, I can make many details and I always want my card to be perfect since it's meant to be sent to somebody else. Now, on the other side, when I am doing an art journal I can be more free. This is a layout just for me, just for playing and having fun. And I don't have to be perfect but at the same time I think it helps me express the creativity that I have in me. I get many questions about my live workshops and if I am ever going to visit certain cities. Now, I do go and teach live workshops when I am invited by shops or by certain events. So, if I get an invitation from a certain shop or an event that takes place in your city then you probably see one of my live workshops. About the supplies, basic supplies for art journaling and card making. First of all, I do have a one-on-one video on art journaling which I am going to link here and you will find a link down below in the description area where I am taking you through all the essentials for me, for my own style on art journaling. But in any case, if you want to start an art journal then the simplest things that you can get is of course a book that has nice thick pages that can take paint nicely and acrylic paints. Other than that, you can draw your own drawings directly on your page or cut out images from magazines or even print out images from your computer. Cut them out, stick them down and you have a nice page to start with. Now, about card making. I believe that if you are starting out you can start with the basics by maybe getting a couple of stamp sets. For example, one for birthdays and another one for Christmas so that you can make your greeting cards. And just get a couple of ink pads, like a black one or a red or a green one. Now, as you go along month by month you can allocate a certain amount to buy things for your new hobby. So you don't really have to buy everything from the beginning. So for the first month you can buy for example an embossing powder and a heat gun. And the next month you can buy a paper trimmer and you can go on like that. You will not believe how much stash you will have by the end of one year. My monthly feature about one kit, 10 cards, has been a very popular feature on my YouTube channel which I am planning to continue. And I do get a lot of questions about that. Mainly on how long does it take me to make the 10 cards. Now, I probably work about two evenings for making all those cards but I never pre-plan what I am going to do. I start the camera and start working on it. However, I do have a process. For example, I take all the cardstock and cut them in half even if I don't have anything on my mind at that point. And you will see that once you get started to make the first card ideas will start coming for the next card and the other one after that. I even think that it's even easier to work with supplies that come in a kit rather than having to think on what you can use from all the stash. Sometimes having so much stuff around you can get overwhelming. So in my one card kit, 10 cards, is usually easier for me because I know that these are the supplies that I have on the table and these are the only things that I have to work with so ideas come easily for me. Now, I get a lot of questions about my distress blending and how can you make blending look so smooth. Now, I do have a secret and I always work on the Simon Says Stamp white cardstock which I am going to link you down below. I think that blending your distress inks on that cardstock really makes a difference but also in any type of cardstock that you might be working on, you need to remember two things. The first one is not to press your blending tool too hard and the second one is not to load your blending tool with too much ink. If you add too much ink from the beginning, you won't be able to blend it with the rest of the colors and you will never end up with a nice and smooth finish. Why do I choose to use American size standard cards rather than European standard sized cards? Well, there are two main reasons for that. The first reason is of course that all my supplies come from the US and obviously I do have cardstock that is a letter sized cardstock. That means that if I cut it in half I end up with two American sized standard cards and the second reason is because 90% of my audience here on YouTube is from the US so I tend to use US standards like inches and letter sized cardstock. So what do I do with all the cards that I am making? Now, as you can see, I decorate my craft room with my cards, some of the cards that I make, the ones that I really love as well as with my art journals but I do send a lot of cards to my friends and sometimes I even make sets out of the cards that I make and hand them out as gifts to friends so that they can send them on their own. Now, I never sell my cards, never sell the cards so I don't really know how much it would cost you to sell a card. Now about the scrapbooking layouts. Don't do scrapbooking, however I do think project life type albums for our family vacation but I don't tend to post about them on YouTube. If you follow me you probably know that I never sell photos of my family and especially my kids online and that's because for safety reasons as well as because I value their privacy. Now I also get a lot of questions about how you can start having a blog and do what I am doing. Now all I can say is just have a blog, post your photos, your projects there it's going to work as a portfolio for your projects as well as a way to track how you progress as a designer. Try to get a place in a design team and at the same time try to play along in challenges. This is going to get you more out there and you will gain more audience. Now in case you want to start making YouTube videos in the video that I will be posting in about 2 weeks along with my craft room tour I will post my setup and all the equipment that I use so probably this is going to help you out. So that's it for today, I hope that was fun for you as it was for me. If you have more questions just pop them down below and I probably make another questions and answer video in the next months. Thank you all for watching and I'll see you on my next video. Bye!
