Lift This! Challenge

This week's Lift This! Challenge was to lift the very creative Liz Qualman.
I love the page design of her layout and really enjoyed lifting it!







"There is something like a line of gold thread running
through a man's words when he talks to his daughter,
and gradually over the years it gets to be long enough
for you to pick up in your hands and
weave into a cloth that feels like love itself.."

My Fifteen Minutes Of Fame :)

I'm really excited and honoured to announce that I was chosen as "Digital Pea In The Spotlight at 2Peas"!!
With it comes a "lifting CindyW. Challenge" and there's also a "Interview CindyW. Thread" where everyone can ask me questions and get to know me better.
So head over to 2Peas and check it out, ask me anything and I promise I'll answer honestly.... well ok... not too personal please :)



This is the layout 2Peas chose for the scraplift but if you have another favorite from my gallery that you would rather lift, please do and post it in the challenge (if you visit my blog please put your link in the comments)!
I can't wait to see what you come up with! 




I was awarded with this AMAZING collaboration kit "In The Spotlight" by 2Peas digital designers, which is created exclusively for the spotlight winners.
I loved this kit from the first moment I saw it and I'm so happy it's in my stash now!! Thanks so much!!!!

This is me... On GSO!! :)

Another page for my art journal.
I lifted "Springtime" by S.J who's in the spotlight at 2peas this week.

Update:
I just found out that my layout is featured on Gallery Standouts!!
Whoohooo, this really made my day!!




i am not yours
i am not his or hers
i am not the color of my skin
or the house i live in
i am not the books i've read
or the people i've led
i am not my resume
or the person i was yesterday
i am not the clothes i've worn
or the person you mourn
i am not the choices i made
or the check i got paid
i am not my first or last name
or someone for you to blame
i am not the school i attended
or the fences i've mended
i am not a punching bag
or someone for you to gag
i am not the world's martyr
or something to barter
i am a human being
i exist, therefore i am.

Pretty Flower - Lift This! Challenge

This week's Lift This! Challenge was to lift the talented Jessica Lute.
I love the flower cluster on her layout with all the tiny embellishments scattered around!
The realistic shadow work took me a lot of time to do... still need some practice on my shadowing skills :)

It's been a while...

... since I posted here.

I just have been too busy studying (my exams will be in june) to become a dental assistent.
Being a single mom isn't always easy, especially trying to balance everything with school, study, job hunting etc., but I don't complain since it's all for a good cause.. hopefully everything works out and I can't wait to start working, saving and then move closer to my family and friends! :)

I couldn't resist buying Liz's new Wallflower Kit and Press Packet.
I created a page for my art journal using Wallflower:

I am seeking... I am striving,
I am in it with all my heart.
