A scrapbooking retreat....

Last month, I attend a scrapbooking retreat at the Timber House near Brighton.  I haven't been doing much the last year or so and I was hoping it would jump start me back into being creative.  It was a beautiful location.

Surprisingly, I did not get down to the beach until Sunday.  I arrived in the dark on Friday night (not really that late since the sun sets at 4:30 pm at this time of the year) and I worked until Sunday morning.  I basically took breaks to eat, sleep and do a bit of visiting.  Overall, it was a very productive weekend and was just the kick in the pants that I needed to get started again.

I worked mainly on layouts and playing with some multimedia techniques.

I have one more layout at I started but is not yet complete.  I figure I will get to it during my Christmas holidays.

Today, I am concentrating on designing and doing up my Christmas cards.  I am enjoying making them again but I forgot how long it takes.

Have a good Sunday.

Time for A Change

I haven't had a chance to do much crafting in the last few months.  The new job, although very interesting, is also very time consuming.  The learning curve is huge but that is to be expected with a new job.  I am hoping that as I get more of a handle on the job that I will carve out some time to dig back into crafting again.

I figured that a good place to start digging back in was to refresh my blog.  It was feeling a little dated and cluttered.  With Spring coming soon, a clean, fresh look was needed.  I have also been decluttering my drives and filing my photos away.  One of the gems that I found buried with in layers of folders are some old card sketches that I did back in 2011 and 2012.  I figured I would repost a few here.

Have a good Sunday.
