A Post on another blog Described Me

The blog post that i found on twitterwas entitled Beautiful People do not just happen really touched me. Please go the blog called www.kindovermatter.com and read it. I had to comment and here is what i wrote:

 

Janet -(Jwgreetings)
I read your post and I was filling up because you was describing me. I don’t share a lot but always put myself there for others. Sometimes when that deepness raises to the surface I pray to god and those i grieve that they will lift me up and hold me until I am strong enough to walk alone again. My past has changed me on the inside and it makes me love everyday I open my eyes to a new day.
Has anything online affected you in some way?

How I go from Sketch to a completed Card Online

From reading my past posts you know that I get inspiration for my designs from everywhere. Well i wanted to take it a step forward and share with you how one design i had went from a messy sketch to finally ending up on my website. Even though the video is short the actual process isn’t at all short. Getting from sketch to just the outline stage  can take days or even weeks, but i wanted to give you a little look at the scenes behide the clean cut website I share my designs on. Before you view I must tell you that the audio on this video isn’t that good. Still trying to figure out the right volume for my headset mic.
