New Blog

Hi everyone. I have just designd this new blog on GBlog. Don't you just love it. The GBlog designer is really good, it has loads of choices from the basic designs and then you can completely change them to be your own with the Advanced changes button. I know this one isn't exactly "easy on the eye" but thats what I love about it. You open up the blog and POW there it is in your face, but very pretty to look at. I think it looks like a crafters / Graphic Designers blog don't you? Found out today that you can sell graphic design work on line on-line but will have to look a little further into it. I really would like to design for craft magazines but I get a lot of good feedback for my Party invites etc which I design on the Serif Plantinum package. Its the best of all that I have tried, so professional and so easy to use if you just have a little bit of knowledge on design packages. I really learnt my skills from working on Publisher - which I do still use as your can be completely in control, though I must say Serif pops up on my computer screen more oftern these days. Must go, got some baby cards to make and Adverts to do for my craft class. Bye for now, Sam

Happy New Year

OK I know its a bit late to be saying Happy New Year but I havn't stopped partying yet, its my Birthday on 10th Jan so xmas, new year and my birthday night out with the girls have all merged into one, you can imagine how fuzzy my head is! I havn't been lazy on the crafting front though, have been busy designing some Party Invites for one of my sisters, I have also been booked in to host a Kids Birthday Crafting Party. My friends daughter loved my website and cards and notebooks so much that she pleaded with me to host her party and show her friends how to make the note pads and do the Zendoodle. So I will give it a go. As any crafter will know 1.½ hours crafting with kids will just fly by. Off Santa I got a Zutter Binding Machine which I can't wait to play with, been waiting for the wires to arrive. I have also ordered (for my birthday) the Zutter Quickutz Papper Cutter to make the inserts for my Note Pads and Mini Scrapbooks etc. Can't wait to tuck in. I also got (Off Santa!!) the Serrif Platinum Scrapbooking, cardmaking computer Package. Have already designed my invites on that. Just about to whip out some Birthday cards for a party my daughter is going to today and then need to re-launch my craft class, which I hope to duplicate on UTube. Watch this space. Sam
