Published (again!) and choices……
For today’s post and my Show and Tell for this week, I was thrilled to see my digital scrapbooking layouts in the latest edition of Scrapbooking Inspirations, a UK magazine.
My kids were equally delighted to find a tiny image of them on the front cover – my daughters think it is great to be “cover girls”!
I had 3 layouts included in this edition, including my first ever commission (yes – they will pay me!). The commission was this layout I made of my daughters on the beach and was a scrap lift of a specified layout. (A scraplift is an interpretation of a layout, using similar style or placement, but not a copy).
The other two layouts both used Weeds and Wildflower products.
This is my second time to be published, but I still got a thrill going into our local shop to buy it, and wanted to tell the cashier “Those are my kids….I did that!”…..but I restrained myself!
For more Show and Tell visit Kellie at There’s No Place Like Home.
Now on to the choices :
Do you ever struggle with choosing a colour of paint from those wee sample pots? I know I have found it tricky in the past, but this time it seems almost impossible. Here are some of the choices – who knew there would be so many!
I have threatened that we could just do a square of every shade for a patchwork effect!
If you are interested, we have opted for Sea Urchin 4 by Dulux, for the end wall of our madeover kitchen/family room. The rest of the walls will be Ivory, also by Dulux.
Online I discovered you can upload pics of your room to Dulux and “paint” your room.
Here it is now.
and how it will look after (allegedly!)
Come back soon to see the reality.
wow! congrats those layouts are beautiful!! and i cant wait to see ur room!
Congratulations! That’s spectacular to have so many pages published! I’m not surprised though as your layouts are always so beautiful! I can’t wait to see the finished product after you’re done painting! 🙂
Congrats on being published (and to your kids for being on the cover of a mag!!)! The layouts are just gorgeous! Good choice on the paint color too! 🙂
I totally would have told the cashier about everything…but good for you to show some self-restraint! 🙂 Congratulations!! The layouts are gorgeous!!

I would have told the cashier, and everyone else I passed on the way home.
I would have walked so that I could pass more people.
You are so much more modest that me;)
Congratulations.

Well done – look forward to seeing it
That is so interesting I would like to know how to scrapbook digitally. Congrats on being published and you should have bragged to the cashier. That paint your room on line sounds like a super idea too.
Good luck with the paint job!!! I always like to redecorate a room with a new color. And your scrapbooking being published is just awesome. Congrats.
My Show and Tell is Posted. Come on over to visit if you can find time today. Happy Friday.
Congratulations on being published.
I like the idea of 3 walls of one color and the 4th some other. And I like your choices.

WOW, WOW and more WOW! Can I say, it enough? You are just one so talented lady! I can’t believe I actually am able to converse with someone so talented and soon to be even more famous! So grateful that I have something personal from you that I can cherish forever!
I love the new colors too! Can’t wait to see it all done!
How exciting! I would have been telling everyone who was slow enough to get caught by my eye contact.
I can’t choose a paint color. That’s why my house is beige. And I didn’t choose it either. I saw it on a friend’s wall, asked her what it was and bought it.
Congratulations!!! You know I would have yelled it…I can’t control myself…LOL…can’t wait to see the finished room.
Blessings,
Susie
