a digi-blog....a whatta what?!
Sunday, October 02, 2005
Well, it's a welcome-back-to-the-world-of-blogging for me. I've had 2 blogs in the past. One was pre-wedding related, the second was post-wedding related. This? Hmmm. The third, obviously. And I don't expect to write much here. Maybe a few bits once in a while when I'm feeling particularly chatty. For those of you who have read my previous blogs, you probably think that may happen quite often. teehee! But with this setup, I don't feel the pressure to be chatty, ya know?
So why a third blog then? Well, I've recently taken up a new hobby which is digital scrapbooking. I just started last June 2005, and it has totally taken over my life. Ok, so not really totally taken over, but you get my point. Any free time I have is spent digiscrapping. I now browse through magazines and greedily look at the ads, hoping to find inspiration for my next layouts. I now gorge on photos and see every moment as a possible scrapbook moment. Ok ok, so yes, it has totally taken over my life. Together with the hubby, of course. I'm just glad that he is very supportive of this new "addiction", and in fact, he got me upgraded from Photoshop 7 to CS2. What a sweet patootie! Oh, and didja notice my blog banner? hehe! Too cute!!!
So anyhoo, to celebrate the grand opening of my "digi-blog" (well that was clever!), here's the latest layout that I did. You can click on the picture for a bigger...umm...picture. I'm such an Einstein eh?
I'm quite proud of this one, and it's quite different from my usual style. Whereas my layouts would usually have clean lines, this style is inspired by the works of Niecey (Denise Docherty). I have always admired her digital designs and have always wanted to try my hand at her style. You can check out her works here. So this is my somewhat lame attempt. LOL! But I'm quite pleased with how it turned out. The sweet little girl is my niece, Chloe, by the way. She looked so pensive in this photo so I thought a Niecey-inspired layout would be perfect.
So...that's it. Enough chitty-chat. You can also check out my older layouts in my digiscrap album. Link is on the sidebar.
