I save the videos I like in a folder on my computer. Each person has their own folder and then I can look back at the video.

@ahickman360 1 year ago

I watch most videos from my phone, and I like to take a screenshot of the final result. Then I have a picture of whatever the project may be-- to remind me of what it was that caught my eye. Then whenever I want, I can go back and review the project later or re-look up the steps involved. For me-- I usually alter the finished card/project in some way. Every now and then, I will replicate a design. But for the most part, I like to make it my own-- and I try to watch videos to get inspiration and ideas from other artists and crafters. And allso to learn new techniques!! And discover new products for sure!! We all need to be inspired and get new ideas, right!!?? It's people like you, Natasha - that really helps us do that!! So thank you very much!! Today's card - really, really beautiful, btw...😍😍😍

I’m glad I’m not the only one who gets over inspired and ends up at my table completely confused. I do save your videos and refer back to them. It would be better if I could divide them into separate categories. I sometimes comment on a video you made years ago. They are a valuable resource. Thank you for your work!!

@candyclouston1412 1 year ago

If I don't do it right away, it generally doesn't get done. I've tried making sketches, but I rarely consult them. I have inspiration files of photos, which sometimes get me started. Sometimes I see something when I browse through my previous cards that gets me started (particularly good at getting me to reuse a die with different papers or coverplate with a different focal image over it). I don't find myself with nothing I can think of to make when I get into my studio–picking which project to do is more the challenge for me.

@tjyb1502 1 year ago

I really like how this card turned out!!

@virginiachamberlain3073 1 year ago

Me too Natasha. Head like a sieve at times but, I often go back through videos for moere inspiration. Giving thanks for all of you gifted crafters who share so much with us.

@theresaz2023 1 year ago

Were you talking directly to me??? Haha. Beautiful.

@Robin_Alcorn 1 year ago

I completely agree: if I don't nail it down I'll forget it. I have a graph paper notebook where I make notes as my mind rushes with ideas. I note dies and stamps I have that might work. I often sketch additional ideas. After I make the project I go back and add notes and ideas from it. This sounds like a lot but even years later I can open my notebook and get inspiration. So worth it.

@JessKing-xi4gt 1 year ago

Ah the old craft inspiration and head full of ideas!! 😉😉 I know exactly how it feels to get too inspired. If I get an idea, I try and sketch it out straight away else I forget. Or, if I’m scrolling Pinterest, I don’t scroll for long. I select a category I like, find a card I like the look of and make it my own fairly quickly. Or I go back through your channel to get some technique ideas if I’m stuck for creativity, but only one or two videos at a time 😉 Love this card Natasha! You made it your own and have inspired me to get some masking strips, and break out some of my unused stencils 😃🩷

@elainewood7719 1 year ago

Beautiful card I save the video's of my favorite artists each person has a folder and each company i follow has one so I can scroll through for inspiration like your beautiful cards.

@Cindy-2024. 1 year ago

Beautiful card!❤

@DebH-bl8ku 1 year ago

Beautiful card Natasha. I save my favorite YouTubes in different files on my phone. The files are by categories such as cards, junk journals, etc. I also save them on to Pinterest.

@SandraMilne 1 year ago

I have a note book where I draw a design then do dimensions for the various parts. I have really cheap white paper that I then use to make a prototype and staple it all together

@kadderkatch-vl3hh 1 year ago

If I don’t have time to write anything out at the time, I save the video for later. Then I put measurements and diagrams on paper and have a binder. Thanks for the ideas and a lovely card!

@Jelly-rj8fz 1 year ago

I have made a resolution now, after watching this vid, to place paper directions with my special materials, eg, foils, double= sided adhesive paper, fun foam. This is because I forgot how to apply my new foil (non heat), and had to revisit this. Epecially when a material/item is new to you, you easily forget how to use it! Like I did just now. So I am revisiting one of your vids, and one other to refresh my memory. So thanks for jogging my memory to find that out again. BTW You would love trying reverse stencilling, using watercolor or water reactive inks, see Krista Robertson's channel for an example, it's pretty inspiring, just like your vids are. Many thanks, Gill
