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 layouts and Project 365

    More layouts! And I’ve decided to use my Gallery install again, to test it against Flickr and see which I like best. So far, Gallery’s winning. I just can’t get into Flickr’s layout/interface…so we’ll see. I’ve also decided to start Project 365! Right now those pics are on Flickr. I haven’t decided if I’ll scrap…

  • The good, the bad, and the ugly

    The good: I’d meant to post about this a few days ago, but I kept forgetting.
