After hours of searching for inspiration for a valentines gift, I came across a blog with book of notes by oh, hello friend. I figured it would be perfect since I wanted to write a love letter anyway, so I could put that into an envelope.

So I searched through my stash of products, even old stuff I constantly forget about, and love quotes etc on pinterest, and this is what I came up with.
I love looking through this book and flipping up bits and pulling things out lol.

I also made him this card. I didn't realise how hard it is to make a lovey dovey girly kind of card for a guy lol. I took the photo while we were setting up for our romantic outside dinner.

It's been awhile since I've blogged about project life. I'm slowly catching up on 2012 though.

Just after October I decided to change how I was doing pro life. I was originally just going through slot by slot, not caring about weekly spreads, then I realised it was holding me back a little because I couldn't skip ahead and go back to finish previous pages, so I decided to start doing monthly spreads. I started working on the month that had just been and I've now finished it lol. And since I tend to take a lot of photos, I cut up a few project life page protectors and used them to put extra photos in.

 

 

I'm almost finished with another couple of months which I'll be posting soon.

I made this mini album in October last year and I'm finally getting round to posting it. I like making albums for friends birthdays that people can sign, so when my boyfriends 21st was coming up I knew I had to make him one. I wanted to make an album that had plenty of pages for people to write on and plenty of space for photos, and I didn't want it to end up bulky. So after searching for inspiration, I came across this tutorial here. It's basically how to make your own Amy Tangerine day book. It looked so awesome that I just had to make my own, so here's photos of it before I gave it to my bf.


I just had to ad a birthday badge for him to wear lol








I attached a cd sleeve at the back so that he could edit the videos I took and make a little movie

I loved how it turned out and how quick and easy it was to make. I have a few mini albums in mind to make and I'll definitely be using this idea again.

I made this layout yesterday in just a few hours. Normally it takes me a few days to finish one lol.

I made it for a sketch contest over at Scrappin' Patch.

The photos of a heart I drew on a wooden sculpture thingy. It's hidden from the rain so it should last a long time, kinda curious to see what it looks like now, a month and a bit later.

In November I took the Studio Calico Cut It Out class. My first scrapbooking class ever lol. I took part in 2 of the challenges and created these layouts. 

I made a title cut which I thought I'd share. You can find the link further down.

Enjoy and TFL

I had an awesome time last year studying Diploma of Computer Graphic Design.
It was interesting to see myself improving as the year went on, and how much I've improved since the short course I did in 2011.

This was my last project, where I was free to do whatever I wanted. I chose to design promotional products for a craft store I made up ages ago called Moore Crafts. It includes a shopping bag, brochure, business card, sticker sheet (made with my Silhouette), set of greeting cards, flyer and mini magazine.

The flyer and business card.

I made an ad campaign for Arnotts Tiny Teddy's.

This is the ad shel.

This was my first assignment for which I designed a craft event poster. It was printed on kraft paper.

And lastley, my magazine. I'm really proud of this one. It's also a huge improvement from the first one I made in 2011 here. And the insides of this embellished magazine can be found here.

I made this magazine in July for my contempory magazine assignment and I've finally got around to putting it on Issuu. My course finished on the 12th of this month. I celebrated by seeing Russell Brand Live on the 13th lol, and got his autograph.

 I didn't realise until now that the title is yellow with a white background. It has something to do with the gloss overlay layer that I put on it. I'll get round to fixing it eventually lol.
