More layouts

Here are two more I did today (click to see larger versions):

I want to say how thankful I am to have found this art form—it’s the cheapest hobby I’ve had in years! And it’s doing wonders for my creativity in other areas. I make a layout or two and suddenly I’m flooded with ideas for my novel or for physical art products (filled up two pages of paper today with sketches of ideas).

And this weekend is National Scrapbooking Day…I kid not…and oh boy, the sales and events gearing up at all the online digiscrap stores! So far there are twenty—yes, TWENTY—such stores that I plan to hit for sales. Sales such as goodies going for $1, or not much more than that, not to mention freebies and contests and whatnot. I’ve got a budget set for it, and I’m actually tickled to see how far it’s going to go. This must be what lures people into flea market scouring, lol…the chance to pick up a lot of stuff for hardly any money. It lets you feel like you’re “splurging” by shopping without actually spending much at all.

But I’m going to end up needing a second external hard drive pretty soon to hold all the goodies, which kills the “cheap hobby” description…heh.

  • New Gallery, new pics

    I’ve caved and reinstalled Gallery. I just simply don’t care for Flickr’s interface, and I’d rather just keep files here on my own server than deal with other locations. I’ve only uploaded a few photos so far, and nothing’s titled or captioned properly yet, but there are some new garden pics there (although since they…

    Still working, still cooking. Netflix’d A GOOD YEAR and finally watched it…nice movie. I’m not usually a big Russell Crowe fan, but this was an enjoyable film (and hey, I love wine more with each passing day, so a movie about wine—even tangentially—is on my must-see short list). The biggest surprise? The *videos* on the…

  • Projects update

    I figured it was time I updated on the creative tings I’ve been doing: Creative Every Day: I have been creating every day since I joined.
