I joined another team!

This week I started as designer assistant for Stellarific Creations. I am already learning a lot about working the web, and the digi-scrapping business. I get to make layouts for her too, which I don't mind at all :). This one used her Petalicious kit:




This page shows my husband, friends, and me dressed up in costume. No, it wasn't Halloween. It was Purim. Purim is a Jewish holiday when people dress up in costumes and rejoice, celebrating courage and victory for the Jewish people. The holiday is mainly a children’s holiday, like Halloween is. Girls often dress up as Queen Ester because Queen Ester spoke up and saved the Jewish people in the story in the Book of Ester (in the Bible). The little girl at the bottom of the page, my friend Elyse, is one example.

Do you like her designs? Check out her blog at http://stellarificcreations.blogspot.com/.




The second page is on Purim a year later. This page uses my own gold and silver backgrounds, plus a string and fabric heart (recolored) from Stone Accent Studios.

My graduation pics

My graduation was actually over a month ago, but I have been busy even since then. The 'professional' pictures the university had taken were not very good, besides costing a fortune. So my husband took some of his own.

Buddha says:
"Endurance is one of the most difficult disciplines, but it is to the one who endures that final victory comes."



[Credits: The tags are from SBF graduation collection. The blue flowers are from aneczkaw.The pink flower is from Becky Wallace.The other designs are my own (background & frame).]

This is far from final victory but it is still an accomplishment. I graduated with a non-clinical degree in speech and hearing science or speech pathology. Because of a dispute regarding one of my disabilities (a back problem called disk degenerative disease), I was not allowed to finish my clinical training. I am still fighting it, but at least I got my masters degree. What I can do with it is another issue.

So in the mean time, I am looking for jobs other than speech pathology. Most important for my sanity, I keep scrapping :)
