Wanna have some fun over at Scrap-Pile?
A little while ago Maree suggested that we run a challenge to custom-design patterned paper... and Maree, I have to say, it was a long time in the making, but it's finally here! Check out our SUPER MINI CHALLENGE - Design your own patterned paper. I had heaps of fun designing a matching range of 3 papers and have done a few other examples which I'll post in the Scrap-Pile gallery shortly... but for now... here's a sneak peak at my 'playful' range... (PS I thought it would be a bit of fun to do it up all professional like the CHA previews)
A change is as good as a holiday...
I've been copping a bit of flack about the minimalistic approach to my blog at the moment, so I thought I'd better right that quick smart!
Firstly, I'd like to explain that I have been awol for a reason. I've just started working for a design company, and have put my business on hold for the moment while I adjust to my new position and evaluate my lifestyle. Yes, it's the midlife crisis thing again! Although I think I've made the right decision and am really happy with the work I've been thrown to date. It seems much simpler (in a way) to work for someone else, and just do what I love doing... designing. I work from Wed-Fri and that's it. No weekends, no all-nighters trying to meet that looming deadline. Although there are still strict timeframes, it's nowhere near as stressful for me, which I am loving. Plus, I can spend quality time with my family after hours without feeling guilty for not working and building my business. All in all, I'm a happy camper for the moment.
On the scrapping front, I've been checking out all those fabulous CHA previews and some of them are absolutely gorgeous... now how's a girl supposed to save money when they keep releasing all this fabo new stuff!!
I'm still designing over at Scrap-Pile and am loving it. They're actually on the look-out for another DT member to fill Melanie's spot when she leaves next month. Melanie, we'll miss you heaps. You are such a beautiful person with loads of creative spark and I'm sure you will achieve all you set out to and much, much more.

I met my drop dead gorgeous husband!
Five things on today's "to do list"
1. Cook dinner
2. Play with kids
3. Get kids ready for bed
4. Scrap
5. Sleep
Snacks I enjoy
I have to agree with Melanie on this one... definitely lollies and chocolates...
Things I would do if I was a millionaire
Uhm... this is a hard one... SPEND IT on a custom design for my scrap room, then I'd probably invest the rest.
