Progress Report

I've been very busy arting these last couple of weeks.  As I mentioned earlier, I'm participating in several challenges - ICAD 2017 and ATCAD June 2017.  It has been keeping me quite busy and I'm enjoying it very much!

While updating the blog, I'm busy uploading a flip video to YouTube.  I'm the first one to admit that I don't know much about videos but I am trying to learn.  It's hard to put up content when  one doesn't really know what one is doing.....LOL.  I guess you just have to fake it til you make it!  So I'm putting up some short videos - somewhere around 5 minutes or so - to try to build up some skills.  The two that will be up within 24 hours are an ATC flip and ICAD flip, both the first 7 days of the challenge. The plan is to upload each weeks cards in a video which I'll post at the beginning of the week following.   I'm sure that I just need to build up some confidence and my skills will  improve.

I've also been working in my JPAD  (journal page a day).  Just by virtue of the volume I'm trying to complete, the journal pages are fairly simple.  I must admit though that I have a hard time keeping the journal time to just 10 minutes.  It's usually twice that so I guess that I need to simplify the process even more in order to meet those time constraints.

The journal I picked for my JPAD is not ideal.  The paper is very flimsy, which I knew, but I was too impatient to make a new one so now I pay the price with dissatisfaction.  Oh, well, live and learn.  Anyway I will switch to a different journal and find a new use for this one that I don't like.  Should have just taken the time to either make one or find one I liked in the first place but I didn't so there you have it!
