Brooklyn

I was doing some housecleaning on my computer and came across these pictures from a year or two ago.  I was fortunate enough to be asked to do a Life Art album for a good friend's niece.  I had forgotten how much fun it was and how much I love how it came out!  This is something they will have forever - what an incredible legacy to pass down to Brooklynn when she is a bit older!

Art Journaling Class

For those of you in the scrapbook world, it's the latest thing! But more importantly than that, it's a journey in to your heart and soul that takes you in to the world of being an artist - even when you didn't think you could be an artist!

I am so excited to announce, that starting November 15th, I will be teaching an Art Journal class at the Scrap Yard! Click on the image below to view it full size - it has all the info on what the class is about.

There are two classes - Mondays at 12:30 or Thursdays at 6:00 pm.

The class is limited to ten students and is generating a LOT of interest. 

 So call the Scrap Yard at 403-271-2225 to sign up and come play with us!

Here are a few of the pages that I have started creating as demos for the class:

Grungy Life Art

Mmm...I love this design for Emory's 1 year shots. I love the textures and energy in it. It has been so fun watching you grow this year, little man!

Who is CJ?

This is CJ at 3 1/2 - almost 4. These are all the things that define her and make up her personality. (Or did 6 months ago!) It's amazing that even in the 6 months since I created this, how many things have changed on this list. I'm so glad to have this reminder of her.

Digital Scrapbook Papers

As some of you might know, a few months ago, I launched my first two lines of Digi Scrapbook papers. I am so pleased to announce that they are now available on my website at http://www.chipperfieldphotography.com/ in the orderables gallery. Here are the preview images to give you a taste of what you will be able to play with.

Here is a sample image using one of the Peony papers with a beautiful butterfly detail. The script text in the backgrounds lend a nostalgic air to these varied and organically based papers.I will be doing a random draw at the end of this week, from any comments made to this post for a free set of both papers!

For everyone else, the papers may be ordered directly on line and I offer Paypal for easy payment. In some shopping cart weirdness, the prices show in USD but will actually be in CAD and include GST.

Thanks for playing!

Emory - 6 months

I had so much fun creating Emory's 6 month Life Art. The colours just worked so well and I love the flow with the words and the images. Enjoy!

Where does the time go?

So I'm obviously not used to this format yet. I've been working on lots of cool stuff, but I forget to share it! Some of what I've been playing with is Visual Journalling. Taking life's moments photographically and thorough journalling, and integrating them together in to an art piece. My daughter has been so instrumental in the process. I remember so little of what I liked and who I was at a young age, that I want to capture as much of that for her as I can. This is an amazing legacy that we can pass down to our children and beyond. To show them how much we care, cry, laugh and stress. It's the big and the small moments. Here are a few of the ones that I've been working on.

I love creating these moments for her and for me. She's so young and there's so much that I've forgotten already. This gives me a way to remember. Because it really does go fast.
