I don't know what is going on with me and this blog, I will try and do better, sir.
All excited because my photography course at Betterphoto starts today. Going to get out the new Nikon D50 and crank up those f-stops, baby. I was at Scrapmanic on the weekend and had a blast - firmed up some friendships, got some layouts done, and was hugely inspired by those around me.
Meanwhile, here I am on the other side of the Atlantic at my Dad's house in Nova Scotia, armed only with a sketchbook, my camera, ClothPaperScissors magazine and Scrapbook Inspirations. I needed to show my dad the sketch collection as I am doing work for it for issue 16. Woohoo!
Right, off to read my camera manual...
Art and Scrap
After an enthusiastic start to the second art journal project
run by Shimelle, work and life got into the way and I haven't done much creative for ages. I am halfway through a layout about the badges and pins I used to wear on my jean jacket and I love the idea, but am so sick of glazing the badges and lost confidence in the end product. I have ideas for the 5 or so outstanding art journal prompts but haven't got started. I have an idea for my next LO, but, blah blah blah. I have LOs I want to send in to a mag, but haven't prepared the images yet. Happily I have a load of inspiration coming my way. I have a crafts show next weekend, a residential scrapbooking weekend the week after that (Scrapmanic), my Scraptivity! pizza box arrived today, and I am doing a photography course using my new Nikon D50, starting on April 5th. Shame that all my free time is being spent playing Gun and Perfect Dark Zero on the Xbox360, eh? Hmmm. I wonder if there is a connection...What are we thinking?
Honestly, IKEA on a Friday night! What are we thinking? Oh, the hot and buzzing social life we lead, eh?
However - I have school budget to make my classroom nice, and I am decluttering at home like a lunatic (or, erm, maybe a very sane person, hmmm) so I can buy nice storage-y bits. Oh, and K is in it for the meatballs I am afraid.
