On the Move

I have a new home!!!! A new web home I mean..... blogger has been good to me, but its time to spread my wings and do a few more things - one of them is providing some additional online support for my growing team of SU! demos - Inkers Away! - and unfortunately, blogger doesn't offer me the resources i needed for this . So it was time to start acting like a grown-up, and having to learn some "geek" while I was at it - eeek. It's still very much a work-in-progress, but I wanted to get a move on with it all.

So the new home is here please pop by and say Hi - you never know what you may find! (well not much yet if truth be known ) - and let me know what you think anyway! Would love to hear from you

I have emoticons!

Woohoo - I have emoticons . I love these little suckers and have been trying for ages to see how to get them on here - finally did it with some help from Marelle and her link to here! So expect to see lots more of these here , I tend to go a little overboard with them

Now to find out how to get the dancing bananas here (and yes I am procrastinating)

I'm so slack ;)

Hi all

Yes I have been a very slack blogger lately...we've had a few issues happening here, will fill you in on them a little later.

I just wanted to share a *gasp* scrapbook layout that I did, and am very proud of. It was created for Cath at LSBS, and since I'm not a scapper it won me the 'encouragment award' for the Cybercrop - YIPPEE!



The flowers in the circle are from the Looks Like Spring stamp set featured in the Spring Mini Catalogue , and the smaller ones have been punched out using the Spring Bouquet Flower Punch. Both of these items are from the mini catalogue and this means they are limited time only - so if you're loving the look of them don't forget that these are only available until the end of January, let me know if you'd like to order them. The ink colours that I've used are So Saffron, Certainly Celery and Pixie Pink for both the title and the small flowers, and the large flowers have been done in Pixie Pink and the edges "rock and rolled" in Rose Red.

The "O" in the title is a chipboard one that has been coated using Opals, an ultra thick embossing powder made in Australia by PipeDreamInk. The doodles around the edge are actually stamps that I purchased from LSBS, they're the clear Autumn Leaves ones by Rhona Farrer, extremely versatile!

So there you go - a scrapping layout from me! Forgot to mention that this was a sketch challenge on the night, and what a fanastic sketch it was. I'm loving the flowers in a circle, and this is the first wedding photo that I've scrapped... and I really enjoyed it!
