Hey all =) Hope everyone is having a fabulous week! If you have got a bit of scrap time planned there is an awesome sketch challenge for you just gone up at Keeping The Best. So this is my take on it, I rotated the sketch...
I have used my favourite paper range which I never seem to tire of Amy Tangerine Sketchbook and have created my own background paper with watercolor paint.
And this is the sketch...
And in other news..I am going to do a toot. I never do toots for scrappy achievements apart from announcing new design team positions as...well it kind of feel a bit conceited but I am going to make an exception for this one as I am just soooo excited. So for facebook friends who have already seen this, apologies....
Recognize that chickie on the front cover! Yep it's me and my layout! I was invited by Scrap365 to submit a layout for a gallery back in June/July I think it was, before being invited on the Design Team. While scrolling through my facebook feed yesterday I spotted this! Made the cover! And yes I love it because it's mine but I also love it as it soooo awesome to see a mainstream mag embrace a grunge/mixed media layout for their cover rather than clean & simple.
And I can tell you now, I love this mag!! I have been working on projects the past fortnight for up and coming issues and for a DT member they are the type of projects you don't just tick of your list, they are the type of dynamic and creative ideas that make you brain storm, go and buy special things for, create new techniques and just really really want to create something special for! So if you can get a hold of a copy of this mag girls, you will love it, so many great ideas not just another '10 ways to use brads' *zzzzzzzzzzz* but techniques and ideas you can actually use!!
Ok so that's my toot over. Hope everyone has a fabulous week!

ReplyDeleteCongrats, Georgia! I was wondering if this magazine is a digital mag, or a print one?? If it is print, awesome!!! I thought that it was digital.
