I'm really getting into this digi lark

OK it took me ages but I'm so pleased with the digi LO. It's actually a scraplift of Gabrillep but I'm still really pleased with it. I can't wait to start Kirsty's class and learn the proper way to crop the papers and overlay etc.

I've also signed up for the BPS Doodle Day Class which also starts in October so I'm going to have a busy busy month. The book which comes with the class is so inspiring.

First PSE Digi Layout

I'm so very pleased with this. Although I mainly followed the ShabbyShoppe tutorial I did personalise it a little. PSE is so easy to use. Thanks to Lemon for pointing me in the right direction and all your help :)

I've signed up for Kirsty's Digi class which starts in October. After having a play with this I can't wait.

Originally I thought Digi scrapping would be a cheap alternative - but looking at all the downloads I want it could end up being expensive!

My little girl has started big school

This was taken the on DD's first day at Senior School,which was last Thursday.

This time last year I learnt

I can get ahead with my studying if I apply myself! LOL I was studying my the second part of five courses to get my Financial Planning Certificate. I had 6 weeks to study, started slowly which increased to manically by the end and got a narrow fail :( I still need to do these exams if I am ever going to be a Paraplanner - the next step up the working ladder.

Now I have finally found the little book I'll try and get some decent sized pictures uploaded.

Learn something new pages

Ok I'm behind posting these already but here is the cover to my book


this is the intro/ first page


2nd September page






as these pages were done last year it's really odd looking back. It seems such a long time ago.

Learn something new

This September, I'm going back to school. In my own little world. I've got a book and a pen and I'm going to record what I learn from life. I believe I really can learn something new every day. I'll share what I'm learning in the form of pages from my book, posted right here on my blog.

I'm not alone: lots of crafty ladies are learning and recording right along with me. See their work here and here. Learn more about our project here.
