Art Journal Pockets - February & March

Hello Everyone,

Today I would like to share some Art Journal Pockets from last month as well as the current challenge for March from Tangie Baxter & Co.
February was 'Monochrome' and I felt compelled to go with yellow.
March is 'Lucky' and as luck is synonymous with the colour green, I went with one of my many favourite colours, green.

                         Monochrome                                       Lucky

In both these instances, I created an Art Journal Page first (as below), then separated them into pockets as above. 


If you like creating pocket cards, Tangie Baxter & Co supplies the base of cards that you can print off and work on, or create your own and enter their challenges. For more info, please go to Tangie Baxter & Co.

Thanks for coming by.
Wishing you a wonderful day.

The Nifty Pixel - Fresh Start Collection | March Hatchery

Hello Everyone,

This week shows the release of a new collection, Fresh Start, from The Nifty Pixel as part of the March Hatchery for The DigiChick.

It is an amazing, huge collection, with bright colours and lots of gorgeousness. Please pop over to The Nifty Pixel blog to read what Em Stafrace says about the collection and how it came about.

I loved using this kit so much, I created 4 layouts. The first layout is the one I created last, but it has a photo of myself taken around 5/6 years ago. I didn't want to show my whole face. I looked really tired and lacking in any colour. I was a bit of a zombie to be honest and was just surviving a day at a time.

For those of you who may not know, I became a sole parent when I was pregnant with my 3rd child. I had 3 children under 3, nowhere to live, not much money (but enough to buy a computer, a car and beds for the children) and had enrolled myself into uni. The first few years were really hard,  but now, almost 8 years on, I have realised I am OK. It still isn't easy, but I don't know any different, and my children and I have got use to the way it is. And everything is promising.
