New name, new direction

I thought it was about time I changed my Blog name from iambloggerimpaired.blogspot.com ( I am blogger impaired ) to a name with my name in it and something about me. I have been using Seeking Rainbows as my Pinterest name, so I thought, hey, that sounds like a good name for Blogspot too - except that lots of options were already taken.

So I added my name in the front. I hope not too many people get lost!! I have gone back into my current comp sites and re-added the pages with the new link.

What do you think of my new page title?

http://kyliegwseekingrainbows.blogspot.com.au/ instead of http://iambloggerimpaired.blogspot.com.au

What is holding me back? - digi layout

Scrap Art Studio (Digital Scrapbooking) had this amazing challenge - Art Life - for May 2013 that I just couldn't let it pass me by!! I also doubled it for Orange Papiere May 2013 monochrome challenge (even though I must admit its easier for Digi Scrappers to do a monochrome challenge - we have full control over colours and shades).

The SAS comp really made me think, and by following the instructions it did feel like I was stamping out some things and moving forward a very little bit.

Woodland Fairy 2013

This page took alot of working with hues and contrast to get exactly how I wanted it. I was so inspired by the warm autumn colours in the Archiscraps comp I knew it would be perfect for this photo of my cousinette Violet - if only I could get the blending right. I'm really happy with the results. The photo was taken by Violet's very skilled photographer Auntie. I thought Violet reminded me so much of a wood sprite or fairy that I just had to put some wings on her!
