Holiday Blitz Tutorial for Splitcoast Stampers….
Hey Peeps,
Finally got the chance to get back to you all! My dear little Mali has Gastro, the poor lil’ poppett. Now we are just waiting for it to hit the rest of us….meaning me! If there is gastro going around I get it without fail, but I am popping my pro-biotics and praying that I don’t get it!
Now onto something far more flavoursome that gastro, my exciting news that I was going to share yesterday!
I had a pleasant surprise, recently when I was asked to write another tutorial for Splitcoast Stampers, this time for their Holiday Blitz in preparations for Christmas! The catch was that I also needed to do a You Tube video of the tutorial……ummm sure that would be fine (gives me the opportunity to work out the whole You Tube experience!)
Well let me tell you, that was QUITE the experience! Not one I would rather repeat, as I had the worst time trying to work out Photoshop Premiere Elements….that thing is written for Einstein’s!!! I wouldn’t like to call myself stubborn but boy oh boy, persistence certainly was the key to getting this project off the ground. Poor Beate had to put up with my panicked emails, and phone calls to her ( it was rather wonderful chatting to her personally though!)
But in the end perseverance won out, and I got that video uploaded and ready to watch……so you want to watch it? - I do confess to cringing everytime I hear my voice and intro on the video, but I suppose the whole purpose was to actually teach you how to make the Scrapbook Wallet I designed, and that is what I achieved in the end.
So for you out of country viewers, have a good ol laugh at this Aussie’s accent! LOL!

Please tell me what you think, and hey if you want to see more videos on here too! Since I now know how to do them, it might be a great way to share my tutorials 
Hope you are having a great week!
Hey Keesh!!!! Fingers, Toes, Knees, and arms all crossed that you DON’T get gastro!!!! Im not sure there is anything else I can cross.. hahaha. Hope little Mali is all better soon.
As for your YOU TUBE!!!! WElll….. wasn’t that just AWESOME… and I mean it was AWESOME!! You did a wonderful job and you should be giving yourself a HUGE pat on the back.
Great work Keesh.

Cool video - you never would have guessed it was your first!! And just as an aside…. Isn’t it weird how you get an idea in your head of what someone will sound like based on what they look like/come across as and then you hear them (or vice versa eg Radio DJ’s!!) - and it’s totally not how you imagined!! I so didn’t imagine you sounded like that!! lol (not bad, just different
Anyhoo…..More videos would be good
Your little album is just gorgeous! Congratulations on your first You Tube video. I think you’ve done a fantastic job and would love to see more video tutorials from you. An even bigger pat on the back for you for being able to remove the sticky strip backing with your fingernails! (they look great by the way!)

Well aren’t you just a clever little sausage!! Your tute is awesome Keesh, you should be very proud!! I hope Mali is on the mend, and you manage to keep the germs contained.
I agree with Jenny - keep the videos coming!!

Hey supa-star! You know I’m your number 1 fan, I think you are destined for something huge, like a big movie in Hollywood, maybe you’ll be in the next twilight flick..stampin’out those vampires! Well done Keesh and keep up the good work. Oh and remember I knew you when you were’nt famous! Love ya, from Char xxx
Wow Keesh, that was awesome. You did such a wonderful job with the video tutorial and your project just rocks!!! This is such a beautiful idea for a Christmas present.
I hope you don’t end up picking up any nasty bugs, you’ve been through enough this year, so I will be praying right along with you that you don’t get sick.
I can’t wait to see more video tutorials, this really was sooo good. I would never have guessed it wasn’t your first either, it was so professional.
Hope you have a great week, talk to you soon.

This is so exciting Keesh, what a great little project. I’d love to make this one. You did so well with the video tutorial - I’m sure it can’t have been easy and must have taken some time. So well done to you. Hope you make some more soon.
Congratulations, Keesh! Well done, the wallet is fabulous and so is your video! All the best to Malakai and hopefully the rest of the family stays well xx
Dear Keesh, absolutely fabulous job! Well done for taking the plunge. I too will say ” I knew you when…”.
Awesome, well done.
I hope Mali doesn’t “share”.

Keesh this is a fabbo project! well done and you sounded like just you always do - gorgeous!You are a natural and I can see you being asked again and again to do more video’s as your creations are so beautiful. Hope everyone keeps well at home, love to you all xx
Hi Makeesha…how cool to hear an Aussie accent on SCS!! Sounds great and you did a fantastic job…did you do that whole thing in one take?? Doesn’t look like you’ve had to chop it at all…pretty impressive for a first video! Would love to see more videos, just makes learning so much easier when it’s visual. Thanks for this…it’s a great project!
Great tutorial Keesh. Looks great. Can’t wait to try it out. Hope you don’t get sick and Mali gets well quickly.
keesh - fantastic tutorial! Guess what my family will be getting in their Christmas stockings this year? Well done! What accent? Hope that you have all survived the tummy bug - our family is in the middle of a run of conjunctivitis - there’s always something to make life interesting. Cheers, Jo
Wow!!! Thank so much…now I know what to give my Mother-in-law for Christmas. I thought you sounded great, nice to hear another Aussie for a change. Well prepared and narrated. You did a great job. Hope everyone is feeling better now. God Bless.
Oh I love it…the wallet and your video. You did such a great job Keesh….you should be very proud of it. Very professional, all runs together very nicely….and your nails are perfect in the spotlight there - all very important for that sort of thing;-)
Good job girl!!! …and congrats on the gig too:))
You did an awesome job of the tute on You Tube Keesh - I know what you mean about hearing your voice - to us it sounds normal l- ike you but it’s the same as when i hear my voice on the answering machine - sounds funny!! Anyways I’m going to try to make one of those Scrapbook Wallets - the instructions were awesome so it can’t be too hard - I love the video idea - easier to follow sometimes then when instructions are written down!! Love, Erica xx
I love it! What a gorgeous gift idea, and you’ve presented it beautifully. You have a lovely voice too!
Keesh! That was great
You did a awesome job on that.
Hope your all on the mend there.
Makeesha Byl - Movie Star!!!
Hope you stay well - lovely to hear your voice - even with the funny accent - LOL
xXx
Fantastic, Keesh - guess what my family/friends will be getting in their Christmas presents this year? And they won’t get another the same from someone else! It’s a great gift (from you to us as well)! I hope that you have all recovered from the gastro bug. Cheers, Jo

Keesha, this is a wonderful project! You did great with it! I will try to make one of these soon for a gift. Love it! Can’t wait to see more tutorials from you. Love your speech - Australian. I’m a southern, so I have a different accent and love to listen to others. TFS
Awesome project Keesh and so great to see you showing the world how to make those gorgeous creations you keep coming up with. How exciting to know someone so famous
I hope you stay well - thinking of you!
Hi Keesh, you did an awesome job on the video! I loved hearing your voice.
Sorry to hear Mali is sick; I hope you can avoid catching it.
Hi Keesh,
Been a while but loved what you did with the scrapbook I will have to try that out. Thanks for the inspiration. Great video. Sorry to hear that the gastro bug is going around. I was hit with it this week. so it must be going around in sydney too. Feeling much better today though and since I haven’t been doing any papercrafting it was nice to sit back and watch some papercrafts being done I feel like I made something without the mess. Anyway take care and I hope you don’t get hit by the bug. fantastic work yet again.
Liam
That was ‘mindblowingly’ awesome! What a clever lady.
