March Polkadot Place kit

Ok, blogger has done it again, not sure why the photo is sideways but anyways you get the idea.

I forgot to post this one when the new kit came out so here is the March Polkadot Place kit. How gorgeous is it? Bridgey does such a fabulous job putting them together and I look forward to each new one.

So pop over and grab one while there is still some left.

April Scrap the Boys Challenge

APRIL CHALLENGETHE CHALLENGE IS TO GET INSPIRED BY AN OUTFIT THAT YOUR SON OR HUSBAND WEARS TO CREATE A LAYOUT...** You need to use the photo of the outfit (obviously being worn by your son or hubby) inspiration could be the colours, patterns, textures etc...

So of course I had to scrap about the dude. He is obsessed with anything "skate" at the moment. That's all he wants to wear, skate gear. So instead of scrapping about one piece of clothing I scrapped about his whole style.

The layout is also very skate inspired, with loads of Maya mists and grunge stamping.

So hoping you all can participate this month, head over here to upload your layout.

Don't forget your entries

Hi ho everyone,

Just popping in to remind you to get your entries in for this months Scrap the Boys challenge.

This month your challenge is to use a specific TIME as your layout's title...- Capture a moment in your day that you want to remember, part of your daily routine or something special the kids or hubby has on, or a specific day or moment that you want to remember.You then need to use that time/date as your layout title.You need to link your entry to this post no later than 11.59pm 31st March...

And on another note, my photography course with Sheye Rosemeyer is all done and dusted. I can't believe how much I have learnt, but it made me want to learn more. I even got to go to a real live clothing photoshoot and help out. Got some beautiful shots for my portfolio (thanks Tam). The next step is a 10 day Photoshop course which Sheye is running in May, if you are interested pop over to the Eye Candy site and send her a quick email. It is all online so makes it easier, especially when our lives are so busy.

Scrapping today, have to get my layout done for the next Scrap the Boys challenge.

Sorry I have been a slack blogger

But I've been a bit busy, well in fact very busy. I've been doing Sheye Rosemeyer's Eye Candy Explore workshop. I am in the last week of it now, it has been awfully time consuming but I have learned so much. And I have finally got it, apertures, f-stops, ISO's, all makes total sense now. I am shooting in full manual now and the only stress I have about it is learning to juggle all the buttons and remembering to watch the light meter. I know it won't be long and it will be second nature. Just a quick shot the other day for one of the weekly modules, dude was not being very co-operative, all he wanted to do was get to Toyworld to buy a new Beyblade. I got a couple of okay shots, but really love this one. We are editing this week so I am hoping to get my photos up to scratch soon.

If you are thinking of doing a photography course I would highly recommend this one.

No scrapping at the moment but hopefully will have time after next week. I have a few things due by the end of the month so will have to pull my finger out.

Hopefully will be back soon with some layouts.
