It's been along time coming...

I am adding GSD files to my Etsy store. I love using my Silhouette but the Silhouette design store doesn't always have what I'm looking for. A lot of the times I end up creating my own "elements". This is the first item for sale. URok card kit.



and to celebrate the expantion of my Etsy store I'm also giving away a freebie: Posted Punches






I used some of the elements for this card thank you card.The card stock is printed from papers in Designer digitals Botanic Gardens Kit

Feel free to send pictures of your cards to me. I would love to see them and share them on my blog. Happy Scrapping!

Camera…check. Formatted SD card…check. Clean and structured workflow…check, 365 here I come.

Last year I made it to April? This year I hope to make it all the way. I really love looking back through the daily shots of last year but I still wasn't completely gung ho on the idea of doing 365 agian. Then my photo guru ( see side bar for links) came out with a very handy tutorial on capturing a photo a day.

There were three that I am really taking to heart. The first is to keep my camera with me at all times. It's not always easy lugging around a Nikon D60 (sometimes with both lenses) but I understand it's importance in a successful 365 project. The more comfortable I am with my camera the more I will use it. The more I use it the better I become as a photographer and that for me is the whole reason for the 365.

Another helpful tip was to format my SD card. All of a sudden a light bulb turned on in my head. I was always pretty good at formatting my SD card, but only after I got frustrating errors. I'm sure I'm not the only one who's afraid to delete photos. I will have photos on a CD, EHD, my main computer and the SD card and I still won't want to delete them. Now I will format my card, as suggested, as soon as I put the SD card in. Goodbye duplicate...triplicate photos!

Lastly…workflow. Ugh! My workflow was such a mess. I've never been a tidy person, clean yes tidy noooo. I love to organize but then time passes and I slack off. I really think that workflow and formatting my SD card played a huge part in my failure at last years 365.


So with all that said I have my camera in my handbag, a empty SD card in it's rightful slot and a clean and tidy workflow waiting to be filled with this years pictures. Here is this first...
