This is a bittersweet post... I've thought and prayed, wavered for quite a while, but finally, it's decided, I'm saying good-bye to my life as a designer ... sob sob... it's been such a ride, this past year, and especially the last 7 months at GDS, who'd have thought, me a designer!!
I loved it, taking an idea, a few colors, playing with it all and coming up with something beautiful (at least to me!)! I was in creative heaven so to speak, walking, thinking, dreaming design ideas all the time. But unfortunately it was also terribly distracting... especially because I also work outside the home, there was no way I could cope on a long term basis and still focus on all the other parts of my life as I would like to. I feel that the Lord is leading me to this decision, so that I can put my focus back on my family, work, bible study class, sunday school, scrapping, and also, more sleep ! haha!
Click here to go to the store: http://www.godigitalscrapbooking.com/shop/index.php?main_page=index&manufacturers_id=10&sort=7&page=3So here I am, saying a reluctant goodbye...I know i'll still design, for my own layouts, for sharing, and Holly at GDS has graciously said I'm welcome to be a guest designer from time to time, bless her!! So the door is not closed, just a chapter I guess.. that makes this easier. :)

So sorry to hear your leaving. I was wanted to get one of your kits but l will unable to get it. Is there a chance to get it after the 15th of August?
ReplyDeleteYin, I've enjoyed your designs so much; they're all so lovely! Hope to see you around the digiscrapping community though. Best wishes and grace for all you hope for in the future.
ReplyDeleteOh wow - these are awesome! Thanks so much! I've admired your work and appreciated your freebies at GDS for the past few months and will miss you there, but certainly understand your need to step down and focus on what the Lord wants you to be doing.
ReplyDeleteYou are so awesome and talented!! Thanks so much, especially for this date stamp freebie.
ReplyDeleteHey Yin.
ReplyDeleteI had to do a search to find you again. Working on a layout and thought I had these but must be the laptop so I am back. These are so cool and I have never used a stamp before.
So big thanks!
