Updating my look on my new road...

You might notice that the blog has a bit of a new look to it today.  I've updated the look and made a few changes that sort of point where I think things will go now that I'm retiring from designing.  As I've said before, I don't intend to leave the land of digital scrapbooking altogether.  I just really feel that I need to do something different which fits better into my current lifestyle.  Designing is so much fun, but it is also a business and running it takes considerable time.  I just didn't feel I was doing it justice, and the guilt of that was slowing me down in other areas of digi.

Part of the new look and new effort is my use of Pinterest.  (If you haven't used Pinterest before, please feel free to leave me a comment and include your email address and I'll invite you.  You have to have an invitation to join and must have either a Twitter or Facebook account. (although you don't have to post things there))  I have links to several "boards" I have on Pinterest which will be where I save things related to digiland of my own liking.  Kits I've purchased and kits I'm longing over.  Layouts I love, and just miscellaneous stuff like tutorials or tips that I'm using.  Everything here is stuff I really love or like and I figure I should share with you too.  Some of it I'll blog about, but more often than not you'll want to follow or check my pin boards frequently.  You can also see all of my boards, not just the digiscrapping ones with the last link.  (Be warned - I'm a bit eclectic.)

I also will be show casing layouts I've created.  I hope to start by just using some of the wonderful kits I've collected over the last couple of years but haven't always used to their fullest.  I'll maybe do the occasional guest CT spot.  I want to share and promote with you the designers that I love and enjoy.

I'm also in the process of rebuilding my tutorials site and hope to expand on it in the coming months.  And because I'm quite sure I can't completely stay away from designing, you're going to find the occasional freebie (templates and mini kits most likely) and the occasional collab thanks to the lovely, gracious Toiny, owner of Digital Scrapbooking Studio.

I hope you'll still drop by from time to time.  Follow me by email, Google Friend Connect, Facebook, or Twitter.  Check out what I'm tracking on Pinterest.  I'm not entirely sure what the new me will look like in the digital scrapbooking world, but I guess I want to be an independent place to share what I love and if you enjoyed my designs and style, you'll probably find things you love too.

Until next time...enjoy the new look!
