More digi-creations

Here are a couple of my recent digi-layouts. My late-night creative creations. I wish I could spend more time with my laptop and PhotoShop, I really love creating and 'playing' with different techniques. How dare life interrupt me!!
Work has been so busy lately, I've been having fun moving into the new library at school. It's lovely and so open-plan. It's like having a clean canvas to paint on.

Faeries in the forest.

I saw some absolutely amazing photos that had been edited to look very 'fanciful' and thought I would give it a go. Here is a pic of my gorgeous great niece in her fairy dress. I've used PhotoShop Elements and imported photos of the forest and the mushrooms, then layered them and added a couple of filters.
While I've got a long way to go, I'm pretty happy with the result.

Dad's Girl...

Here is a layout of my nephew and his beautiful little girl. I love the red in this layout, I think I need to play with it some more. Hope you like it,

Opinions sort...

OK, well I've had to cut back my work load due to poor health, so I'm on the hunt for a money making venture.... aren't we all? I would love to use my digi skills, cardmaking or a combination of both. I'm thinking of making cards and selling them at markets, or online maybe. But I've looked at some of the crafty shops around town and I've seen a glut of handmade cards sitting on shelves (bottom shelves at that). And there are so many free digital downloads out there, that I cant see making money out of that venture, even though its something I could do - like designing blog backgrounds and such.
Or maybe I should look at something with an educational resource lean to i, since I've worked in schools for for so long
I would love to hear from people who have tried and succeeded (or failed) to 'make some money on the side' through a crafty sort of interest. Is it even possible??
cheers

Love Those Eyes

Here are a couple of digi layouts that I have created recently. So many babies and toddlers in the family lately, and they are all so scrappable!! I still tend to be creating late into the night, but I am so happy that my creativity has returned. I hope you like them.

Family, friends and futures...

I'm having a lovely time in Sydney catching up with family and friends. The weather is gorgeous and so is the company. I'm getting heaps of inspiration down here. Hope I can bottle it and take it home with me,
