CUTE

Just purchased this really cute kit from, Jessica Sprague $1 wednesday! Such a bargain! Can't wait to make some lovely things using these digi goodies!

finding time amongst the choas and noise

to work on this digi page, which I really love!

bits and pieces

Recently I've been putting myself out there, trying to get my work a bit more visible and have entered some pub calls and things llike that. It's been fun, some have led somewhere and others haven't but that's fine too. It's been good working with criteria and goals in mind, otherwise it's hard to motivate myself sometimes.

I have had a page accepted for the new Scrapbook Inspirations book which is out in the summer, which is exciting. Obviously can't show that one yet. In fact it was a digi page, which has kind of sparked my interest in digi scrapping again. I have dabbled over the years and as a designer have used Photoshop for 15 years or so, so I am familiar with all it can do, well a little of it!

So here is a page I did over the weekend, and I will post some more over the next week or so.

ABC's

Found this on Flickr and really want to do my own. I think it would look fab in a white idea frame somewhere in my house! Simple yet striking!

Valentines

I am not a big fan of valentines and it's never bothered me, but I do love all the images and crafts etc that are around this time of year. I was looking around for something for my daughter to do on Friday for her birthday tea and found some lovely things to print out for them to make cards etc with. Look at these links:

Paperglitter she has some lovely freebies and a gorgeous shop where you can buy printables too!

Secret agent Josephine lovely bright and fun kids valentines

The long thread lovely card and crayon craft!

Take a look at these links and post some of your own if you've seen something beautiful!

I am really pleased with it! I used some favourite things throughout the pages, things I love, which is the whole point of it really. I chose a mainly grey, yellow and pink theme, some Hambly transparencies, October Afternoon papers and die cuts, some Love, elsie bits, some Heidi swapp alphas and OCtober Afternoon letter stcikers, ribbons, buttons and felt! It's all in there!
