Experiments

I have taken a little time over the past week or so to experiment with utilising my digital designs for paper scrapping. This was the first project I finished and I am so pleased with it.

I have never really tried a mini album before and I am thrilled with the way it turned out. I am going to give it to my sister for christmas and I am so pleased with the results I am enthusiastic to do some similar items for the rest of the family.

I was chatting to my friend Erin the other day too and we got talking about blogs and utilising them as a tool for our businesses. We both agreed that they can be an advantage but it can sometimes be a bit hard to find time in the day to add to it. Anyway I have added a link to her blog Blossom Creations so you can take a look.

Erin does some beautiful work and I always feel inspired after reading her blog and looking at her latest project. Actually it was Erin that inspired me to have a little play with blogger and work out how to place a blinkie or picture in the sidebar with a link attached.

I worked it out and again I feel a sense of acievement for doing something I have never done before.

I am getting a bit excited too because my stepson arrives tommorow and will be staying for 10 days. I always love it when he comes to stay and it tears my heart out when he goes. We haven't got anything specific planned as yet but I am sure we will be busy and find plenty to do. We always do.

I told you so!

Well well well, I did warn you that I was'nt much of a blogger. But I am finally back.

I have just uploaded a new splash page to my website. It will act as a hub to all my little business endeavours and hopefully bring in a little more business.

If you would like to have a looksie you can find it here.

I have been very busy lately updating my branding info and making some new digi kits as well as making a start to my graphic and web design website which will be uploaded in the not too distant future.

I have been elected as featured designer at Designs in Digital for the month of October so I will be in for an interesting month and a bit of a learning curve too. I have never been a featured designer before, or ran a challenge or chat, all of which this entails. So wish me luck.

My first job will be to answer a questionnaire on my designing. That will be fun and it will then be posted on the DID Blog for all to see. I am both nervous and excited about all of this so more on the progress later.

I have also been doing a little scrapbooking and what a wonderful feeling it has been to actually do that! Here are a couple of layouts I have done.







Both layouts are using some papers from a couple of kits that are still a work in progress so you will have to keep an eye out for them.

Here are a couple of kits I have recently uploaded to my DID store. Why dont you go and take a closer look :)

Please Bear with me while I learn the ins and outs of picture placement in this blog. I have never really had the time to play around with modifying my blog so it really still is a work in progress on the design front LOL.







Any way I hope you like what you see and decide to take a closer look.

I had better go and eat the yummy pork spare ribs that Steve has just cooked me.....mmmmm.... and then go and work on some stuff for DID.

Til next time.
Take care :)
