52Q

As you can see (if you're not just reading this in Google reader or by email subscription) I changed the name of my blog....well, at least in the header anyway! I took on board the suggestions that leaving my name as the blog title makes it easier to find...plus I didn't want to go through all the hassle of actually changing the name. So, what do you think?

I loved Lauren's plagiarization of one of our favourite authors, Douglas Adams, to come up with this title. I've also used some of my newly acquired digi skills to make the header itself....I'm really rather proud of myself there :) The digi papers and brushes that I used are all freebies that I've gotten from various places. While alot of digital scrapbooking stuff is very inexpensive, if you look around you will find tons of free stuff as well....some of it is really very good! I'm impressed with the people that have the skills to create these things...and maybe in another 5 years or so I might get to that level....LOL!!!!

OK, onto 52Q....

I've completed quite a few of the questions now and thought that today I would show you my *cover* page and the first question....




These *pages* are 7cm x 10.5 cm....perfect for my cute little tag box. I haven't used too many dimensional elements as I realised that if I get too carried away then I won't fit them all in the box :) The other thing that I want to mention here is that some of the answers to the questions posed are rather personal...and I'm not sure that I'm completely comfortable putting so much of myself *out there* for people to read....so I might not always show the back side of the tags....but for Q1 I've decided to show it (even though it isn't exactly spectacular!).

Just a quick run down of some of the supplies I've used....Bittersweet DP, Thickers & Primas for the front page. The Q1 page has a photo of Sydney that I sourced from a tourist website....I probably should keep better track of where I've gotten things from, but you can find a million photos just like this on any tourist site promoting Sydney. I've also been using my new Dymo label maker with different coloured tapes....you'll be seeing alot of it in the coming pages!

OK....enough procrastination! I better go do some work. Hope you have a great day, whatever you're doing :)

Blog Candy Winner, DT Call & 52Q

Just a super quick post today to let you all know that the winner of the Blog Candy was LAUREN!!! She did have 4 entries, so it's not so surprising really....and no, it wasn't rigged ;)

I'll get that into the post for you sometime this week Miss Lauren...I hope you enjoy all the goodies!

In other news....Nicole has announced the DT call for her new stamp company, Inky Impressions. You can find out all the details here if you're interested in applying. I have been trying to come up with a couple of WOW samples to apply...but why is it when you need your Mojo the most it seems to desert you?????

I've also been working on starting my 52Q Art Journal project. This is being run by Aussie expat Emily Falconbridge and you can see the info here....just go to the 52Q section in the sidebar on the right. Instead of making a mini book, I'm using this Kaiser OTP Tag Box to keep all my question & answer tags in....Cute huh? This way I can make them as 3D as I want and not worry about a mini book that's never going to close properly :)

I'm starting late and have NINE questions to do....I have started though and will share them over the next week or so.

OK, so much for a quick post!!!! Catch you all tomorrow :)
