April Swap

Kelly didn't do a swap this month, but my partner and I liked each other's work so well that we decided to do our own.  I sent some pictures of my boys wrestling to Janet and she sent me pictures of France, another on her list of places for a book she is making...The Places You'll Go.

Kit: J'adore by Precepts and Promises

I played around with blending two different background papers and then with erasing part of an element cluster.  Janet loved her page and I am so happy that she did.  This kit was just perfect for it.

New Year, New Venture

So, the designer that I was working with and creating layouts for has decided to call it quits.  So, now I am up in the air with regards to products.  That coupled with the stressful time I had getting my books printed at Costco this Christmas has really gotten me thinking that there has to be something out there for me to do.  Then the manager at Costco tells my husband when he returns $200 worth of books because they were printed wrong that I should be doing this for a living.  Then my sister tells me she has no time to do her own scrapbook and could I help her out....so....I have decided to give it a go.  I am going to open

Heavenly Expressions Digital Designs

 by Hannah

While I don't have all the details worked out yet (such as a reliable place to get bound books and the whole tax thing), I have made a facebook page to get me started.

https://www.facebook.com/pages/Heavenly-Expressions-Digital-Scrapbook-Design/350467531646076

Please go to the page and let me know what you think.  I am still designing business cards and trying to get the color just right.

In the next few days I will be sharing some layouts that I have done for my sister (and yes, she is getting the family discount aka free).

In the meantime I am still looking for another product designer to work with creating layouts and will let you know when I find them.

Spraguefest 2011 -- VEGAS!!!

Back from the nonstop action of Vegas and Spraguefest 2011.  What a great time.  It was so nice to see old friends and make new ones.  Classes taught by Carina, Heidi, and Jessica were so much fun, if not quite my style.  Here are the layouts that I have created.
