I design way more than I create my own layouts, which is why I’m so glad I’m on a CT! It kicks my butt into creating when it comes to layouts! So, here are a few of my latest CT layouts. Enjoy!

Altab

2013
Leave a Comment

I have just returned from a trip to India for 8 days where we worked in Katchwaa Christian Hospital, near Varanasi (Ganges River, ghats etc.). I go every year and thoroughly enjoy it! This year I couldn’t get over how much Altab (see child in layout pic below!) had grown. But I heard sad news, his mum had passed away from a heart condition. She was only in her 30’s and it made me wonder whether or not she would have survived had she had all that modern medicine has to offer in the west (Ok, so I’m in Asia, but you get the idea!). It was heartbreaking as he had not been able to pay his school fees for the past few months. And when I say school fees, I mean the $0.50 US per month. Ugh… when I got back I couldn’t buy anything as I was so guilty at paying triple that for a piece of sushi or ten times that much for a Starbucks. We are so out of touch… I am really feeling the need to do a lot more than we are doing. As I have seen posted around Facebook so much the last month, “First world problems are not problems”. I agree.

Back to Altab. He’s 13 years old and has no mum and yet he is always so happy. Smiling. Enjoying life. We should be more like him and we should do more for kids like him. Anyway, I made a layout about this precious young boy using a kit from Sanko Studio called “Contentment”. Very fitting for this layout I think.

My Latest Layouts

2012
Leave a Comment

Well, it’s been a while since I posted my latest layouts, so here you are! A few of my layouts. I wish I had time to do more…

.
The first is using my own designs!  A lovely vacation photo taken on the beach! I did this layout in record time & think I need to revisit it as I don’t feel it’s done yet! It  needs more depth and more attention to shadowing. But no time at the moment so it’ll have to do until I have a minute to revisit it. Relaxing on the Beach - Digital Scrapbooking Layout

A photo of my sister and I taken on the Ganges River in Varanasi, India. Fantastic trip! Hopefully we’ll be there again in February.

My Dad Laughing

Here is my first layout for the most wonderful Sanko Studio. I love her style and the {In the Stacks} kit was so easy to use. I decided to do a simple layout as the memory is so strong it doesn’t need much to bring it all back.

This is a photo of my dad laughing! We were on a boat going down the Ganges River in Varanasi, India. It was incredible! We drove into town early in the morning, just before sunrise, and got some amazing photos. We then took a boat ride down the river to the area that has the funeral pyres. You see it on National Geographic and in magazines, but when you go there and see it for yourself it is very different. It almost doesn’t live up to your expectations… and then you take a look at the photos you took and you are amazed.

I love India and try to visit every year. If you’ve never been, you must put it on your list of things to do!

Enjoy!

I think the title says it all! I applied to Sanko Studio for a spot on her CT team and….. <drumroll>……. was accepted! So excited!

If you haven’t checked out Sanko Studio before, you should as her designs are fantastic and so easy to use! The first kit I’ll be working with is called, “In the Stacks” and is perfect for anyone who loves books! I’m a doodle addict and this kit has loads of them – very unique. Here’s a preview. (can you tell I’m excited:)

In the Stacks Digital Scrapbooking Kit Sanko Studio

You can grab this kit from Sanko Studio’s store at Scrapable HERE. During the month of November 2012, you can download a free add on by visiting the Sanko Studio Facebook Page. Super fun!

I’ll post my layout using this kit soon. I’m not sure I’ll be doing a book themed page, but I love the colours and so will try to do something with the colours. It looks fantastic and I can’t wait to get started!

Hope you enjoy checking out the fantastic products Sanko Studio has!

Enjoy
