NEW and news ...

I took me a while to come to a decision about my word for the year ... but after reflecting on this post I decided the most appropriate word was 'NEW'. 2010 is of course the start of a new decade, it was a new stage for us as a family with both children now at school and I was ready for some new challenges ...

So this is where the 'news' comes ... I decided to push myself and submit for the ScrapbookOutlet design team ... and WAHOO I made it!!!!!! I am one of 8 fantastic ladies who will be part of the DT over the next 6 or so months - can you tell I am just a bit excited - LOL!
I am the first to admit my style is just that - mine, not everyone will like it (probably too plain for some) but it has taken me the last few years to get to a place with my scrapping that I love. Once I stopped trying to hard and just focused on capturing the stories I wanted to tell it all fell into place. I love clean lines, bright colours, stitching, buttons and white space.

I look forward to the next six months, I know that I will be pushed out of my comfort zone but that is part of embracing new challenges!

So now I am off to scrap ...

It sounds like 'new' is a very appropriate word for you this year Mich ... congrats on the news and I'm sure you'll be fantastic, glad to see you embracing your style and succeeding with it.

Congratulations on your DT position, Mich. I think there is a place for ALL styles, not everybody likes really full/busy pages and many scrapbookers admire the simple style but find it hard to achieve! The team is a great mix of styles and I think that means there will be something for everyone. It's important to follow your own style and it's great that you're in that place!
