A couple of weeks ago, Brisbane hosted the 2010 Scrapbook and Papercraft Expo.  Being Australia’s number one papercrafting wholesaler, the Print Blocks gang was there to show off all the new products and to craft up some exceptional Make ‘n’ Takes.

Last weekend I went on a bike trek out to see the ocean.  My ride took me out to Sandgate, then North across the bridge to Redcliffe and then all the way through the Boondall wetlands before landing me back in Hamilton.  I can’t think of a better way to spend a Sunday afternoon!

After continued exposure to the handmade crafts industry and seeing all the great stuff our designers put together for this issue of the Creativity! Magazine, I was inspired to have another go at digital scrapbooking.  I’m not sure I’ll ever go so far as to have these layouts printed and bound in a book, bu they’re fun to make and will look nice as part of a slideshow on my digital photo frame!

Working with all of this scrapbooking stuff has set my little designer brain to churning, and the task of designing a site that crafters feel comfortable and familiar navigating sent me scouring the web for digital scrapbooking inspiration.  Here’s my first shot at putting together my own 12 x 12 spread of our family trip to Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary.  The koala art I snatched up from DeviantArt is ©2007-2009 *lastscionz, and I truly hope he doesn’t mind my borrowing it for this little project.
