Me: A-Z Workshop - Letter J

I've been following Michelle Batton's Me: A-Z Workshop since it started over at Funky Playground Designs late last year.

Sadly, Michelle has now left FDP, but she is still running the workshop through her blog.  This week the prompt was for the letter J - my least favourite letter in the whole world.  I know it is irrational, but I developed a dislike for the letter after many a game of Scrabble was scuppered by me being left with this beast of a letter.

So when I saw that I had to try and create a layout about myself using the letter J my heart sunk.  What on earth was I going to scrap about?  Then it hit me.  I should scrap about my dislike of the letter J.  

So here it is, my "I hate the letter J" layout:

Digital Scrapbooking

I've been so engrossed in physical crafting since Christmas that I've not been doing much in the way of digital scrapping, but last week I got my mojo back and completed a couple of layouts:

Created using "Wrapped in Ribbons" by North Meets South Studios
and FPD January challenge template by Amber Shaw.

Created using "Graham Cracker" by GirlBoyGirl Designs and
"Puddle Jumpers" template by Trixie Scraps Designs.

Created using "Hodge Podge" by Rosey Toes Designs and
"Grasshopper Pie" template by Little Green Frog Designs.

I'm really pleased with how they turned out - especially as the Brighton Pier and Colchester Zoo layouts had been languishing in my unfinished layouts folder since Christmas!

At present my digital scrapping home is Funky Playground Designs.  This is where my most up to date gallery is kept, and it is also the place where I end up spending too much money on a regular basis!  I just can't help myself, there are so many amazing designers there, and their kits are fantastic.

Making your blog look pretty is harder than it looks...

I'm completely new to blogging, but me being me I just can't help trying to run before I can walk.  Despite knowing next to nothing about blogging, I have decided that instead of using the templates kindly provided by Blogger, I want to use a fancy blogwear kit.

So, the other day I purchased a wonderful blogwear kit by Trixie Scraps Designs over at Funky Playground Designs which I am currently customising and attempting to add to my blog.

Boy it is taking me a long time, but I'm having so much fun.  I wonder how long it will take me to actually get it finished though...
