A Year and So Later

Posted on | December 17, 2008 | 3 Comments |

Hello I don’t know if I’ve shown you this or not but today I just want to blog about this: I can’t believe how many (paper) crafty stuff I’ve made in the last 13 months! I did very very little before this blog came a long. I also want to show you or re-display (I can’t remember if I’ve blogged about these projects and right now, I am too lazy to search) some of my old stuff.

This card is one I made last year when I kind of got started stamping again. I liked it then but now… it looks kind of blah, ha ha! Looking back, I think I’ve had a few style changes. The only thing that sticks is the simplicity… although I’ve experiment a bit with a lot of layers.

rainI also have a scrapbook page that I did last year. Ahh… the first digi that I ever did using somebody else’s kit. It was a freebie from Shabby Princess.

In the scrapbook area I have definitely changed. I went from symmetrical to whatever I want as long as I think it looks good. I am almost to where I want to be too in terms of how many pages I want to complete. I have been so behind and I told hubby that one of my 2008 goal is to do as many of M’s pages as I can before #2 shows up.

I want to do a few more but I am way beyond what I had in 2007 so nonetheless still quite happy. I am also surprised at how many digi tuts I’ve produced. I know that I got tired or lazy of making them but it was fun and I learned a lot. Part of the reason I did the tuts was work related. I never have time to play with video and editing and so I kind of took work home but instead of boring work videos, I created videos on something I am more interested in. I’m glad they’ve been useful. I hope to add more but for now… I have no motivation.

How have you evolved in the last year? When I visit people’s blogs I like to check out their very first post, especially if they’ve been blogging for a year or so and I love their current style. I am always curious to see how they’ve grown.

I’ll share some new stuff tomorrow. Today, I just want to reminisce {::SMILES}.

    Savitri…I love this post! I’m so surprised in a year’s time how much we all can grow. I’ve done something similar – browsing first posts and comparing them to current posts. I’ve noticed progression with everyone and definitely myself! But, you…you were always great!

    Savitri, thanks for your birthday wish! Very sweet of you!

    I started my blog just a few months back but I started making cards for almost a year Looking back at the cards I made earlier, I noticed that my style changed drastically. I used to like them back then but now…..like what you said “it looks kind of blah”…haha. In total, I’d created about 100 cards! I never thought a short trip to a srapbook store last year would changed my life completely. I never have any hobby before nor passionate about something. But card making changed all that.
