Memories of 2012

I am overdue for writting but I took the month of January to get organized from my office to my computers I needed sometime to get all my things in order and I needed to concentrate hard at work to make sure that I pass my training. I only have 4 shifts to go and then my training is up it’s crazy how fast the 3 months went by.

Well 2012 is just another year behind us.
Life in Cornwall is going amazingly well from design to photography, business, scrapbooking, friends, roadtrips and family things couldn’t be much better.

What a great year it was! Here is a quick monthly recap I decided to break it down since so much awesome stuff went on that I want to recap!

I made the DESIGN TEAM!

Hey guys,

If you’re my friend on facebook you already know that I made the design team!This is such an exciting opportunity.

Here is the post unveiling our first layouts. Soon there will be a detailed post about my layout I will let you know when it’s published. Until then hop over to Auntie Em’s and check out the layouts the other girls created. Here is mine Gaby is my inspiration of course

Design team? YES PLEASE

It’s been a while I have so many things to catch up on.

But first thing is first my favorite local scrapbook store (Auntie Em’s scrapbooking)  has put a call out for a new member on their design team… I am so excited about this opportunity I can’t even begin to tell you the ways.

For my application I decided I would make a layout outlining who I am which just happens to be some of the things Emma (the store owner) is looking for.

I used photos that my bestie Anthea took of me during a quick visit in December. They turned out so awesome. I needed an updated profile picture since mine dated back to 2008.

I wanted the layout to portray my style so I started by choosing my favorite paper patterns that would match the photos and narrowing down my photo choice to 5 images. I Photoshopped the photos in a antique brown finish and printed them on my Epson R1900 (they turned out amazing)

Here are the retouched images.

Then I popped over into Illustrator to create my background paper, planning where the main photo would be and printed it on the background card stock.

Finally I kept the layout simple and I really like the final result. It’s not a technique heavy layout but it is definitely a good representation of who I am today I think it’s a cool layout that I will keep to remember what it was like to be 29.

Hope you like it! Here is the final layout…WISH me luck please.
