Reduce Scraps, Create Masterboards

[@mandalaartist4423]

Glad you didn’t speed up and add music. I like listening to your thought process. Happy I found you.

[@CeriGriffiths]

Thank you! 😊

[@DeniseCraft-z5f]

You are newly found to me in the past month or so. I wasn’t sure my “style” matched yours, but as you have told us, do what works for you. I have made sticker pages and used them to make some tags and made the accordion folder which now stores the background I want to use next for making cards. I have learned so much from your videos and watch them start to finish. There are always bits that I glean and then take to my craft room. Thank you so very much!

[@DianeSavage-s5d]

Love your masterboards, Ceri! I started watching your videos only recently, & I am hooked - you are an amazing artist. Thank you for sharing your talents with us, & also thank you for NOT playing music in the background & NOT speeding up your videos.

[@CeriGriffiths]

You are so welcome

[@bettieboopie7175]

That is exactly what I planned to say. I agree, NO music, and no speeding up. I enjoyed this so much. I just found this Chanel today. (March 24, 24.)

[@RosemaryMarino-q1o]

I love your style. I also prefer straight edges rather than torn. This video has inspired me! I haven’t done a master board in years! That is going to be my next project!

[@RosemaryMarino-q1o]

I’m also happy you don’t have music!

[@karver3440]

Congratulations on the book re-launch🥰Your masterboard is great. I´m glad you don´t use music in your videos and no annoying ads☺

[@CeriGriffiths]

Yes! Thank you!

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

Such a lovely master board, Ceri! One of my favorite things to do as well. And so handy for a needed piece of ephemera. Love the book you found to put them in! Much more classy than my Medicare book! 😂. I really enjoyed this video! Love and hugs to you, my friend! ❤

[@CeriGriffiths]

Gayle, I applaud you for recycling the medi care book, I just didn’t have anything like that to hand and the scrapbook felt the perfect match.

[@CrystalBerrios]

Your message answered my question as to what a "master board" is. Though I didn't neccesarily ask you; I thank you either way. 😊

What an awesome find Geri :) Just starting my glue book journey and nothing better to relax with than paper and glue. I love making masterboards and Thanks for the inspiration :)

I’m so happy I found you. I just made my first master board. Not perfect but it’s a start. Thank you so much for sharing g your knowledge.

Hi Ceri. Watching you working on this masterboard was really relaxing. It is a great way to get inspired when I get a bit down. It's very nice when you get all chatty. TFS 💕

[@CeriGriffiths]

You are so welcome!

[@LindaR423]

I am masterboard obsessed. I love to make them, I love to use them, I love to look at them, I love to see other people (like you) make them, I love to masterboards that other people make. Go ahead....call me crazy, LOL, I won't be insulted.

[@CeriGriffiths]

Not crazy just passionate.

[@willareeneacealbertini975]

Ceri l love to watch these being made. Plus, Gayle A. Made your Christmas 50’s digital into the sweetest journal. You did a great job on that digital. TFS your time with us. ✋🏼👍🏼

[@CrystalBerrios]

Hello so these :master boards" are made to later cut pieces out to use in "junk journals" and such? Essentially "efemra"?

[@LindaR423]

@@CrystalBerrios Yes, you can cut them up to make junk journal ephemera. You can make tags, journal cards, make pockets, envelopes, belly bands and anything else you can think of.

I find your video and your chat inspiring Ceri. I have enjoyed watching where you are going with this piece, I find the master board activity Very helpful in working out the composition, which I struggle with at times in my collage and mixed media efforts. Thanks for sharing.

[@CeriGriffiths]

You are so welcome!

[@caridavila2071]

Hello Ceri…it’s Cari! I am so very happy you shared this idea!! I am just like you with the OCD and am having a terrible time getting started with master boards. I just so happen to have a similar book as yours that I found at our local thrift shop and now I know how to get started using up my scraps creating pretty usable paper! I’m going to try your way and hope I do half as great as you! Thanks for sharing your ideas! You rock!❤

[@CeriGriffiths]

Thank you Cari, I didn’t mention it in the video but you don’t have to finish a whole page in one go, as it’s in the book you could start several master boards at the same time, using colours or patterns as themes and then when the appropriate scraps come up you can continue to add them.

[@caridavila2071]

@@CeriGriffiths Now see…that is exactly what I mean! Knowing me, I would start a page and work and stress till it was done! Thank you for even the smallest tips that will make a world of difference!

[@barbaracabrera207]

I fold over washi tape ends tiny bit so I can get to the ends easily. Love your masterboard. I find it very relaxing to do masterboards and decorating tissue papers. When i need motivation, I do it. Great video, Ceri. Love the little "wet sponge" idea!! I hate to have sticky fingers. I'm weird that way. I've never seen anyone use washi tape on masterboard. It looks very nice!! I love that. I will try it on my next ne. TFS! Austin TX USA

[@CeriGriffiths]

Thank you Barbara, I use washi a lot just as accent pieces, it sometimes just brings things together in a design.

[@racheljolley26352]

This is one of the most beautiful master boards I’ve ever seen! 🏆🥰

[@CeriGriffiths]

Wow, thank you!

Of course, out of sight out of mind! It seems that the simplest idea and it is brilliant. I forget about even supplies I have because I can’tsee them. Thanks ffor the reminder.

Good afternoon Ceri! I am new to paper crafting and I’m so glad I found your channel, your such a source of inspiration and ideas! I didn’t know you did cakes, I bet they are beautiful! 🌻

[@CeriGriffiths]

Thank you so much!

[@Faithful10415]

I just discovered your channel and thus far have enjoyed your relaxed and genuine conversational style. Honestly, I can relate to so many things you describe about yourself and your art style, i.e. "not one to sit around (you took your art journal to Alaska) I am the same, I like to be busy/productive, liking things to line up horizontal or vertical (this is so my style), describing how the scrap pile can get out of hand (so true). I am definitely going to tackle a masterboard like this. I did one with scrap fabric and lace recently and it turned out so well. So fun. You seem like a genuinely nice kind person and I look forward to more of your art videos. I'm not super big into "mixed media" but I understand the appeal-maybe I become a convert! :) I pray you have the best day ever!

[@CeriGriffiths]

Thank you

Ceri I just want to say that you have taken all the bits and pieces from various things that don't look like much but after all the layering it becomes something that is very appealing that is now useable for other projects. I have always liked the layered look you create with your Masterboards but after following you and watching how you get those pieces from so many things and make them into something useful and in time you get those things and create something that looks so good. You broke it down and made it easy to follow and you are a true inspiration. Congratulations on your relaunch of your book and molds. This was another great video and so enjoyable to watch.

I'm fine watching a process video that is done end to end. I have to agree, I don't always like to see a sped up video. I watch videos because I want to see the way you folks do things. Sped up, we may totally miss something that we might find helpful. I do have favorite folks that do occasionally speed up, but then, I'll just put my volume down. With the CC on, I can tell when they are speaking again, so I'll turn up the volume again. But then, my favorites don't tend to replay the same single or two over and over, they have a good selection. What boggles my mind is how folks will tell you how You should do Your videos.😏. I'm happy to have You do You. We can decide if we have time to watch the whole show. And, I can always watch the rest later, while cuddling with our furbabies.😊
