I received in the mail today my contributor copies of the January issue of Scrapbook Trends. Congratulations to Nicole Pomeroy, another Aussie scrapper, who is in there too with her gorgeous page. Nic, as soon as I saw it I knew it was yours!Northridge Publishing is always super generous and send two copies. So I'm giving one copy away.
These magazines can be pretty hard to come by in Australia and they are a superb magazine. The thought that goes behind the photography of each layout is amazing, and the photography is always stunning. They are quite a treat to sit and read.
To be in the running, all you have to be is a follower of my blog and leave a comment below by midnight (EST) Thursday 21 April 2011.
(Due to postage costs, only Australian residents are eligible for this. Apologies to my overseas readers!)
And speaking of Scrapbook Trends, one of my layouts is featured on a video on their blog at the moment.

See the layout on the lower RHS of the screen there? That's mine :). It appears in the April issue of Scrapbook Trends that is out currently. In the video Lori Allred takes the little flowers on my page as her inspiration for creating the cool scarf she's wearing in the video. How fabulous is that?
Thank you so much for your comments recently in response to my grumbles about my routine/working life. I tend to think of scrapbooking as being the domain of the SAHM. Which of course, as you showed, is not necessarily correct. I guess it's just that women who don't leave the home for eight hours a day to work in a job totally unrelated to their creative pursuits have more flexibility to create and probably do more of it. So they tend to be more visible in the scrapbooking industry. I have been comparing my output to them and feeling like I'm wanting. Which is ridiculous and I shouldn't compare. I know.
In my ideal life I would have unlimited time for exercise, coffee with friends, and being creative. But that's all dreaming. As I realised when I read your comments. And on reflection I don't think I would be happy if I was a lady of leisure. I actually like to be thinking and contributing and feeling that I have a purpose, and all that goes with having a professional career. Really :). Even if it doesn't sound like it some days ;). So thank you. I am once more grounded in reality.

just finished watching the video on Facebook and then saw your post. How awsome!

Congrats to you
Cheers

I was so excited to see your LO on
YouTube Kathie...such a gorgeous LO and you are always so generous with your giveaways ~xo~
Hey Kathie, Congrats on the publications, this is my FAV mag, when I can find it!! Fantastic that she has used your LO for inspiration.
Don't worry, I too feel like I don't get to create as much as I would like and look at those who create LO/LO's daily and My one or two a week just don't seem to cut it. But then I also LOVE my job and my kids and without them I wouldn't be creating as I do. Life is a constant balancing act and we all get it as right as we can for US (and no one else).
Considering all that you do, you get the most AMAZING results. Your LO's are always inspirational and I love each one of them. You are internationally recognised in this field and I am sure you are also very successful in your other field and I know you are as a mother. So you are living proof we can have it ALL :)
Fabulous, that's so great Kathie.
How very cool to have your layout featured! and congratulations on the publication, Scrapbooking Trends is a beautiful magazine isn't it!
Have a great end of the week xx
hee hee heee heee love the video honey huge congratulations
Cheers

It's terribly exciting to see your work featured on the video Kathie! Big congratulations. Even though I am a SAHM, I feel like I have three jobs - there's my teaching one night a week, doing therapy with my two year old who has been diagnosed with autism and then working with my three year old who has SI Disorder. And that's not to mention the rotten housework LOL! I get around it by taking a solo retreat every 4 - 6 months, just for a weekend, and catching up on making some pages then (as a matter of fact I think I'm due for a weekend soon :-)). It's bliss. And I love flipping through my scrap mags for inspiration, love Deb xox

Beautiful layout Kathie. Great exposure for you with the YouTube clip. You deserve it. The magazine looks great. I have not seen it around. Thanks for the chance to win some inspiration.

Congrats on your publications Kathie....and can I also make mention here that I'm in love and awe of your vintage book quote album....its divine xx
OMG how amazing that your layout is on the desk right there, so happy for you Kathie.
I am a slow scrapper (maybe 1/2 a week) but since I have started scrapping just for me, I am so loving what I am creating. Nate is my LOVE in my life and scrapbooking comes in only after him, so I hear everyone when they say balancing act.....but I wouldn't have it any other way.
