I’ve been feeling rather productive of late -
I’ve just finished and am about to email off the final copy of a baby card, and I’ve had a new item in the shop at PBP every fortnight (which was my goal for the past 3 months). I’m working on putting some of my doodles together as commercial use packs (after being asked a few times if I would) and learning how to make custom shapes on PSCS3 and continuing to learn heaps of new things every time I open Illustrator though I still have no clue what I am doing there!
I have two or three kit ideas burning in my brain and one element pack that is just dying to be created, but I am waiting on my new fancy CCD scanner to be delivered so I can play with it and hopefully create some really cool and funky bits and pieces to go with these great ideas. So new digi scrap designs is on hold this week (hopefully the scanner will be here by Thursday but we live in the sticks so who knows) but I still have plenty to keep me busy.
I have a few blog designs that I am about to get started on which I am really excited about. I so enjoy tinkering with my blogs (I have been working on a re-design of picklebums for about 3 months now and still not even close to done!) and really loved working on the wonderful You’ll Eat it and Like it blog, so I am looking forward to getting going on these new blogs.
My brain is also ticking over with some Calendar ideas. In the past I have created custom calendars in various styles for people in the months before Christmas, while they all turned out ok I am yet to find a style of calendar and more importantly the best way to print them that I really really love. But this year, I have plans to try my hand at CD case calendars.. like these ones here by Debf
And… I am dreaming of poster sized calendars as well! With the photos scartted inbetween the months of the year… Not sure exactly how these will work but I am keen to work on some templates so that customers could choose which style they liked, send in the photos, I’d customise the templates to fit and have them printed up, wrapped and ready to go in a reasonable amount of time. Must get to work on the templates soon I guess!
So back to work for me.. but check back here in a day or two as I have a digi scrap freebie just about ready to share
