Hello everybody!! Long time no post. :) <br />
<br />
There's been a lot going on since I posted last. So let's see if I can catch you up to speed as to where I have been and where I am going. <br />
<br />
I started school last August and all was well. I had been unemployed since March and figured I needed to do something, so school was the choice I made. Everything was great! Well, then I got a new job - which I love. Should still be great, right? Well, it was (and is) but that meant those 8 hours that I was doing schoolwork and my digital designing was eliminated. So time being at a premium, something had to give. Digital designing took a back seat, and although I really wanted to do something with it, time made me leave it. In the meantime, college courses got tougher. I was asked to design at a store, but still was having problems finding time to design, so that store never opened.<br />
<br />
I also connected with an old friend. He happens to be a photographer and I helped him brand his business. I created his logo, letterhead, and business card. I designed his website (although I didn't install it) and have learned photo editing (to an extent). I also maintain his galleries and assist wherever I can. So add that to my repertoire.<br />
<br />
In the meantime, I was hired as a permanent employee at my job (I had been a temp) and I started my core courses at school. Money for a single parent is always tight - I am no different. So I talked to a friend who does medical transcription at home; typing is something I excel at. I asked if there were any non-medical transcription jobs where she worked - hoping she could get me in, give me a reference, a contact person, anything that might assist. She said she's help me look. So I started looking myself and found this on-line company, almost the eBay of computer jobs, and looked to see if I could get hired by somebody as a contractor of sorts.<br />
<br />
I connected with this AWESOME author who needed help editing her eBook. Heck, I've been an administrative assistant for more than 20 years - if I don't know grammar and punctuation by now, I never will. Anyway, she hired me and I edited her current book. She referred me to other authors and I am about to start editing my second book/second author. I am pretty excited about ALL of it! Doors are opening.<br />
<br />
With everything I am doing, I figured I need to re-brand myself. Although I love my design name - Paper Capers Designs - it really didn't fit where I was heading and all that I do anymore.<br />
<br />
So...after discussing my situation with my two go-to people for opinions, INK & PIXELS was born! {Like the new logo?? I created it myself and am on the flaunt! LOL}<br />
<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVoQySEcuUGnyzbkudbFREbjWHdzYVhfykSrMFhr697giWdwJpsy1LgH8b4yOSN8lfYhgqC_4lMojLlvjdpo6ytegdv09amGHo5_r2ZThLcPOtKotSXC7HyeSs-kg0kMTF4eKWdELnYDQm/s1600/Ink+n+Pixels+2.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="108" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVoQySEcuUGnyzbkudbFREbjWHdzYVhfykSrMFhr697giWdwJpsy1LgH8b4yOSN8lfYhgqC_4lMojLlvjdpo6ytegdv09amGHo5_r2ZThLcPOtKotSXC7HyeSs-kg0kMTF4eKWdELnYDQm/s400/Ink+n+Pixels+2.png" width="400" /></a>
<br />
<br />
I figure this feel and logo can cover my book editing, photo editing (I have even done some audio book proofing), logo creating, digital design and even web design if/when I get there. I'm quite pleased with the name and logo (if I do say so myself).<br />
<br />
All that being said, I am doing a guest design spot in October - for a wonderful gal I "met" when I first started doing hybrid digital stuff many years ago, and my new logo and name will be in place for that. If it works well, I might try to grab a few more guest design spots. If not, I know designing will need to hold for a bit longer.<br />
<br />
Anyway, that's where I am right now. I will be moving to a new Ink & Pixels domain soon, but until them...you can catch me here. <br />
<br />
Thanks for catching up with me...<br />

We had to use the packaging provided and they didn't leave us a spot to put the kit name and basically told us to be creative - so I was!<br /><br />So - here's my entry:<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjgQ83mbysYoG_VP-9TcCF_EAGl2dZkme3dg9rUxn2BpdEpILxZY8bQm8CDBjdCNsKzCcbzFba6vbKCMe7cF3tW4sEHBZcGeb3Z2G6YAtN8ieWRqZKdDF_mqNaUvh6kMFGzR3V0NRVU0aEu/s1600/Summer-Afternoon72dpi.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjgQ83mbysYoG_VP-9TcCF_EAGl2dZkme3dg9rUxn2BpdEpILxZY8bQm8CDBjdCNsKzCcbzFba6vbKCMe7cF3tW4sEHBZcGeb3Z2G6YAtN8ieWRqZKdDF_mqNaUvh6kMFGzR3V0NRVU0aEu/s400/Summer-Afternoon72dpi.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5651226373925613538" border="0" /></a><br /><br />And of course, I have a freebie for you:<br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZNQ8Cf2pvBFyz_y1RypIyP7yip584zOdPK16nQnT2ymoL59IGmjoqQ8rgx_GYMsvsyCLfCGoAXcLGokm1SPm9CA_WmhUVayZVRRZxGC8f-Vz0QqgWWs-C08V28dUouKgkkAoOmnRmBomG/s1600/Alpha_BlogFreebiePreview.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZNQ8Cf2pvBFyz_y1RypIyP7yip584zOdPK16nQnT2ymoL59IGmjoqQ8rgx_GYMsvsyCLfCGoAXcLGokm1SPm9CA_WmhUVayZVRRZxGC8f-Vz0QqgWWs-C08V28dUouKgkkAoOmnRmBomG/s400/Alpha_BlogFreebiePreview.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5651226379596228850" border="0" /></a><br />You will need to go to the Studio gallery HERE **download links expired** to get the kit and you can click HERE **download links expired** for the entry.<br /><br />Thanks for stopping by and for all your support!!Vickilynhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12630192247653019011noreply@blogger.com12tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7551620281359956595.post-45045912665236182892011-09-05T07:29:00.000-04:002011-09-05T07:29:00.107-04:00Dream Big and a FREEBIE!!

I am loving design contests - I think it's because it gives me a specific focus - takes out some of the thought process so certain decisions are made for me and I can just go and design!
<br />
<br />I decided to try the Next Designer Contest over at theStudio! So, for the first challenge, we were given a palette to work with and the theme was Daybreak. I opted for that "get in the caffeine while sitting on the patio overlooking my garden type feel". After all - daybreak is when the sun comes up...everybody needs that coffee first!!
<br />
<br />So, here's my contest entry - you need to go over to theStudio forum/gallery to pick it up. AND - there's a freebie add on below my contest entry!!! Click on the image and it will take you over to theStudio!
<br />

I am really enjoying myself and learning a LOT!!!<br /><br />Here's what has gone on so far...<br /><br />Challenge 1 was to create a mini kit. I had to extract two items to use as elements. The two items I extracted were the denim pockets. If you go <a href="http://www.digiscrapaddicts.com/gallery/new-designers/p321286-pocketful-of-posies.html">HERE</a>, you can download the kit. Here's the preview:<br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.digiscrapaddicts.com/gallery/new-designers/p321286-pocketful-of-posies.html"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYI6weH8Kww76wARcS7iutEqacN_A75BTOVsvsESxxye_lOWB2PTg8n2Gs_qRLoOZVEOdzXHahMVhzWgMgswG_Sbq-r_onbyBIvNxFUezNczWhMd9K8ywUNNGlJjaFhIVETLhJxRonIkYt/s400/PCD_PocketfulOfPosies_Previ.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5639267903476710530" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Challenge 2 was to create a mini pack of papers, without using Commercial Use textures. Here is what I came up with:<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.digiscrapaddicts.com/gallery/new-designers/p323012-challenge-2paper-pack-add-on.html"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjz4XR4N4Us8_vI21UOJa6e03veAB4CW1biBV_TM9ok6_8K_BsdNC3oNiZBMsxuoXdHcTBz0uiaMeMBOWupTSc-3cTjWyg1_22_r6b0zf7WBjqRsAMITLAgjZBTEyDbW4IbXUz671BRAbQb/s400/PCD_PocketfulofPosies_Paper.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5639267906400603282" border="0" /></a><br /><br />You can download the Paper Add On <a href="http://www.digiscrapaddicts.com/gallery/new-designers/p323012-challenge-2paper-pack-add-on.html">HERE.</a><a href="http://www.digiscrapaddicts.com/gallery/new-designers/p323012-challenge-2paper-pack-add-on.html"> </a><br /><br /><br />Last, I actually created an extra paper - I got a little carried away.

We want to break down the lines between the different types of scrapbooking. kaBoks will be a store that will create a bridge between traditional and digital scrapbooking. We also want to offer a wide range of products that will target different religions, ethnicities and languages. We ´ll also be adding a special department in our store called "kiddy scrap". I think it will be fun for all of us to be able to play with some less "serious" products aimed at crafting for kids!</span></span></div><div><span class="ecxApple-style-span" style="font-size:12px;font-family:Verdana;" > </span></div></div>Vickilynhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12630192247653019011noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7551620281359956595.post-68455191298661378852011-08-01T08:00:00.002-04:002011-09-10T16:34:23.710-04:00August Blog TrainIf you're here for the blog train, you've come to the right place!!

Now - I don't normally scrap like this - not sure I can do it on my own but...she can and makes awesome templates because of it. So when I use her templates, I usually remove a couple (ok lots) of layers. So she challenged me to use the template without removing layers - hence the layout below. <br /><br />Now, if you can read the journaling, I issued a challenge of my own. I asked this cluster queen to create a layout/template using 15 layers or less! I believe at this point I can safely say that she has declined. LOL <br /><br />However, even with my decline challenge - the layout came out awesome!! You can find Melissa's templates <a href="http://www.thedigichick.com/shop/Cluster-Queen-Creations/">HERE</a>. Kit is a Collab by Captivated Visions & Jenn Barrette.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdWBAWs0CjId0zLr9FEMTNB9UqPvmIqnugOnVusfPqHFqzUPaRfuNed6n6V4NPHGCVihz85qsT0KqFvAqTEpl4nICdV-GVwc2N5NKV1VuvAjNPuVnwihrJ0RwBLOU7r_77nJYpBCBmJQhQ/s1600/Challenge.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdWBAWs0CjId0zLr9FEMTNB9UqPvmIqnugOnVusfPqHFqzUPaRfuNed6n6V4NPHGCVihz85qsT0KqFvAqTEpl4nICdV-GVwc2N5NKV1VuvAjNPuVnwihrJ0RwBLOU7r_77nJYpBCBmJQhQ/s400/Challenge.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5624363755414252690" border="0" /></a><br />As always, thanks for stopping by!Vickilynhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12630192247653019011noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7551620281359956595.post-38524885283393897472011-07-01T08:39:00.003-04:002011-07-01T08:43:25.099-04:00FiveAmanda just wants to be five.
