Moving On

Sandra has recently decided to stop her Wednesday chats, so I plan to use the time to work on my own designs. It was sad to resign from her team, her designs are so very usable and print so well, but I need to focus on getting my name out, and getting people to look at my designs with more LOs, ads, and freebies. I just want to reclaim some time back for me.

Its fun to do CT work, and I will keep doing Athena's and maybe take on guest ones, here and there, but I need to balance that out with my designing obligations. I have also been testing some actions for a designer recently and I think I will keep doing that too.

Seven things...

This is for Kari, but I don't tag others so you will just have to enjoy the list.

OK, I am going to keep all facts scrapping/craft related, because that is what this blog is for. :) I think I have a couple of weird crafting ones anyway.

1. I can spend 4-5 hours designing one element, but usually can finish a pack of papers in an hour. LOL, I think I should be making more paper packs, don't you?

2. I am trying to figure out how to design, and build a font using only freeware or open source software.

3. I recently took a Charlie and Lola book out the library to inspire my designs, but my kids won't let it out of their rooms, so I can't look at it.

4. Here's a real random one - once I sculpted roses from Wonder Bread and Elmer's glue.

5. I still haven't finished my kids' baby books, because I started designing when I started scrapping. :)

6. I used to do watercolor portraits from photos (by hand, not on computer) and paint them in sepia/rose tones. I think that is where I get my obsession with sepia photos.

7. The hardest part of designing for me is coming up with the descriptions, and previews. I guess I need a course in marketing communication or something.

Charity Kit

Hi All,

I've been busy finishing up the end of the month chores, but I wanted to mention... I helped design a few items for this charity kit. The kit is a gift for anyone who donates $20 or more to Autism Speaks. I work with Tammy on Sandra's team and the story of her granddaughter has touched me. If you are interested in getting the kit, check out the website.

This week FlyBoy is in the store. Check out this kit for airshows, paper airplanes, air museums, or plane visits.
