A long time

Hi all,

I'm so so sorry it has been ages since I've visited you all in blogland and posted anything on here. Life has been busy what with January modular exams, and many other things.

I'll give you a little update later in the post, but to start off I'll share with you a digital scrapbook page I have just made. I sat down today after school and decided to make a digi page. I wanted to finally get around to creating a page for Miss Smith's Just One Sketch Class, which started over a month ago. I created my sketch back in the beginning of January, but hadn't, as yet, managed to find time to start the class and use it. So here we go, my first page for the class.

Here is the sketch I have created for the class.

Prompt 1 for the class was to simply use your sketch to create a layout, so I have stuck quite closely to the sketch, and really like the result.

I also created this LO for the current TPV challenge which gives you photo inspiration. Unfortunately I have just realised and remembered that the main criteria for 'The Paper Variety' is the Paper, so digital layouts do not count :( Oh well, it was great inspiration and I like the layout so no loss really.
Here's the photo inspiration I used

I used the colours as inspiration, using only white, grey, black, green, and then a splash of the brown/ginger to match her hair. I also took inspiration from the fact the film is apparently set in Ireland, and scrapped a photo from my trip to Northern Ireland in 2010. I decided to mimic the text and fonts on my LO, so used a big white alphabet for the title, and then have written my journalling in the style of the credits on the poster. Here's a close up of the journalling to show what I have mean.

Hope you like it.

Right, so, where have I been and what have I been up to. 

University, I have a fair bit to update you on for that. I have finally heard back from the University of Bath, I was waiting for ages and beginning to feel quite impatient. They got back to me last week with an offer of A*AA. I am really hoping I can/have achieved that as I really really want to go to Bath, it's a gorgeous uni with a stunning course.

I have been to department open days at both York and Warwick over the last few weeks. I really like York too, not as much as Bath, but it is a lovely university with may opportunities and facilities, so it shall be my insurance choice. I didn't think much to Warwick at all, it felt too much like an industrial park, just lots of grey big buildings as the departments. 

What other news have I got. Oh yes, I am now legally allowed out there on the roads on my own as I passed my driving test last week :) So pleased to have passed first time.

I can't think of anything else, apart from being busy keeping on top of the A level work.

I hope you are all well. Sorry I have not been around to comment or anything recently, hopefully I shall get the chance to visit you in the next few days.

Bye for now. 

Hannah :)
