Scrapbook Page Flowers 1
This is one of the pages I've been working on for our wedding album. I think this one's done (expect maybe some copy changes). It's stretching my Photoshop skills in a whole new way, and I am excited to learn more!
New furniture, new ideas, and a new job
I can't believe it's already March!!! On Thursday Nigel and I will have been married for 5 months already. I can't believe it. And changes abound, yet again, in my life. I guess that's the way it goes when you never really picked/stuck to a career path to begin with...
We received a huge gift from a family at the church - bedroom furniture! Mine is at my dad's place in South Dakota, and we have no clue when we will be able to get it out here. So, in the meantime, we got some from a family who is majorly downsizing. The daughter, Sunee, is an 8th grader in my small group. We got a beautiful dresser and nightstand for our bedroom, white in a French style, and a matching desk/hutch which I am going to use in my "studio."
Speaking of my studio. We have a 2nd bedroom with no other purpose, yet, though it will hopefully be a nursery eventually. So for now it is "my space." I've been working on a lot of neat new projects. I started getting inspired for all kinds of projects while I was working on planning our wedding. So I started collecting "stuff" - canvases (the traditional kind plus wooden boxes, old cigar boxes, bags, clipboards, composition notebooks, photo albums), fabric swatches, wallpaper, paper of all kinds, ribbon, flowers, and all kinds of other things.
I also started working on a digital scrapbook. Basically, you layer text, photos, graphics, ribbons, etc. just like you would on paper, only in Photoshop. I'll post one of my latest soon.
So, I am also switching jobs. This Friday, in a very bitersweet way, is my last day at the antique shop. On Monday, I'm starting at Network Architects, and will be doing web design and maintenance. No, I have no experience in that exactly, but it's something I've always wanted to learn. And now someone wants to give me the tools I need and teach me how to do it. It's 3 days a week, and I'll make as much as 5 at the store. So I'll have time to work on photography stuff for Nicole, the photographer I'm working with (her husband is the one who's hired me), and to do all these projects I'm dreaming of.
Life's crazy. But it's a wild ride that I'm enjoying immensely, especially with Nigel by my side!
