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!

Daddy's Girl

"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 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.

2Peas Digital Challenge: Inspired by Pop Art

Last week's digital challenge at 2Peas was to create a layout inspired by Pop Art, using halftones (fill patterns made of tiny dots)

The challenge included a halftone tutorial for Photoshop, but since there's a halftone effect in PaintShopPro, I didn't do that.

I studied art history and always loved Pop Art, especially Andy Warhol's work with the colourful repeated photos, so that's where I got the inspiration for my layout:

Creative Team Call by Vinnie Pearce Design!!

Whoohoo... I just read that Vinnie Pearce is having a CT-Call and I'm SO going to apply for the job!!

My 6 month term being part of the Digital Elite Team at DSP is coming to an end and I have decided not to go for a second term... but I simply can not pass on the opportunity to be on Vinnie's CT!

She has been my favorite designer since she started sharing her beautiful designs on her blog and I have followed her ever since... guess I'm a Vinnie stalker, lol.

I LOVE (and own most of) her designs and I always get inspired by her fabulous layouts, her challenges and other fun projects, she's such an artist and a really nice person too! :) It would be an absolute honour to be on her CT!

I'm off to send my application now, the call closes tomorrow.. talk about last minute ;)
