Updated Blog Banner and New Logo!

Armed with a bit more knowledge than the last attempt I decided to have a go at re designing my blog banner. I am very pleased with the result, I'm totally in love with grey and pink at the moment although I had envisioned using a bit more red and cream in my design but there you go, I will probably change my mind again in a few weeks. I'm a woman that is my prerogative right!

Following on from that I decided to create myself a little logo. I did this using Adobe Illustrator and decided to run with the lotus theme that I had used in my header. It is such a gorgeous picture, one that my husband took and I managed to put this really cool effect on it in Photoshop so now it has a really glowing ethereal look to it. I still need to make some final tweaks, I need to get my colours sorted, they are slightly different from banner to logo so I will create and save a swatch that I will use across all stationery.

Here is the logo

Time Away!

Where have I been all year? Well, I have had a long break from digital scrapbooking but I have still been dabbling in the digital world, just in other areas. In February I started a Cert III in Graphic Arts, completely online which was fantastic, inspiring, fun and just all things great. I loved every bit of it! 

So now that is over I am left sitting here wondering what to do next. I need something completely online due to the small people in my life but unfortunately TAFE just doesn't offer the course I want to do online. There is obviously the online providers like Open Colleges but I do wonder whether they are as good as TAFE and if the qualification is recognised as so. 

What to do... I now know I love everything to do with Graphic Arts and have to pursue this field. That alone is a real achievement for me. I've been searching for many years for "what I want to do" with my life. 

Anyhow, watch this space for more of my digital work now that I have more time.
