Stamp of the Month

I’ve deccided to do a little feature post each month here at Life’s Visual Journal. I’ll be making and posting a stamp each month. If you want me too, I might even post a tutorial (let me know) on what I used and how the design came to be. If you have a suggestion for a stamp, please let me know!

Also, I want to make a little vote at the end, so please put in the comments which one of the small ones is your favourite!

Balloon: Cute? I thought it would be good for b’day cards…

Cupcake: Also handy for birthday cards, and scrapbooking birthday/cooking days

Button: I’m not sure why I did this… I may have just been lacking inspiration?! I like buttons though…

Bunting/Triangles: Inspired by Kim, who is currently making bunting for her wedding. The stamp is just triangles, but when you put them in a line with some drawn ‘rope’ they’re bunting! Yay! Also, you can decorate the stamps with pen once they’re on the paper. Would be cute to write a word in the triangles… (one letter per triangle).\

So what do you think?! What’s your favourite? Would you like to win one as a giveaway some time?! What should I make for this month?!

Thanks for visiting my site again! keep checking back for more updates!

Re-do, do you? I do!

You may remember back in November I wrote about how perhaps if I relived my life from the end of year 12 onwards I may have done things a little differently. Namely what I chose to do at Uni. Well, in the last month and a half (or there abouts) things have happened, and I got a bit of a chance to do just that. No, I’m not going back in time, but I AM going back to Uni!

Yep, you heard right! Uni!

I have been feeling so cofuzzled not doing any study this year, and when I found out about the University of New South Wales, College of Fine Arts online Masters degree, I nearly died. Could this be COMBINING two things that I love so perfectly? Plus a fantastic opportunity to study whilst furthering my academic qualifications and keeping my full time job?!

I’m doing a graduate Certificate in Cross-Disciplinary Art & Design, which goes for 6 months. I considered doing it part time, or doing my Graduate Diploma, but what with our holiday planned for October/November, it wasn’t really going to work. I’m planning on getting higher then a Credit average so that i can continue studying up to my Masters next year.

These are the subjects I’m doing…

Cross-Disciplinary Art and Design

Creative Thinking Processes

Digital Illustration for Concept Art

Draw Your World

Hopefully my bloggin life will not go down the toilet hole! At the very least I will show you what I am learning about- photos and what not. I will also need your support, so if you feel like leaving me a comment some time, then I totally wouldn’t mind.

Pop, Pop, POP!

This week I’m popping up a few other places around the web.

I’ve started contributing to a group blog- Journey To The New Us, to track my weight loss. I may/may not post menuy plans there. Stay tuned here though for recipes and the regular updates.

You might also see me on the sidebar at Hello Owl, one of my most FAVOURITE blogs. Do you like my little add?! Dani is such a gem and gave away some free advertising spaces, which I was lucky enough to get one of! If you haven’t stopped by there before, do so. And if you’ve come here because of that link, WELCOME! I think (hope?!) you’ll find this blog interesting enough to keep coming back. If you ever have any suggestions, you’re welcome to let me know what they are.

I have some EXCITING NEWS that I will be posting later today, so stay tuned for that!
