My Little Ballet Dancer!

I'm so excited. My daughter has started dancing lessons. She does ballet, jazz and tap. Tap is her favourite..... She likes the noisy shoes! It's really funny though cause everyone we meet finds it so cute that she's starting tap at two and a half. And it is cute, she's so small... but the problem with that is getting her shoes and ballet slippers has been pretty hard. As to the leotard and skirt... I had to pin tuck some larger ones so unfortunately she doesn't have the same ones as the rest of her class. But I think this looks cute! So now I have all these photo's of her in her leotard and skirt at her first dancing class to scrapbook. Most of the other photos are with her best friend (so I'm not putting them up here cause I don't have permission from her mum). Now my dilema.... what papers and embellishments? I'm sure there must be some specific ballet papers and embellishments out there .... but the scrapbook stores near me don't stock them..... So I need to shop online for them...... I'm sure I'll eventually find what I need but I wish it wasn't going to take so long to get the supplies cause I'm ready to do these layouts now! Any suggestions of a 'range' would be greatly appreciated!

This is very cute and I'm sure you will make a GREAT page out of it. But why don't you try making ballet slippers out of paper and ribbon? That would save you on the cost of embellishments :-) I'm sure you could find a picture on the web you could use and I'm sure with a girl you would have HEAPs of scrap pink paper.

Cardstock only Layouts

-

After looking at the cost of a layout I'm going to challenge myself to do some cardstock only layouts (not for my wedding though). Do you think you could manage it? Well I'm not sure but I'm gonna give it a go. But it does get a little ridiculous the costs, con't you think? So I'm going to challenge myself to do a layout using cardstock and patterned paper only! Of course not having a cricuit or sizzix or anything this will mean hand cutting my title....... painstaking... BUT I think it'll be a challenge artistically too. These layouts were done by Deb of Toowoomba and you can see how she's used her paper and cardstock to acentuate her photo's theme.... I especially love the dolphin! When I went to a scrapbook evening recently one of the ladies did a fabulous layout using paper piecing. She made Dora the Explorer layous and her 'dora' was fantastic. I don't think I have that much patience but punching and tearing are right up my alley. Bu...

Coffee Mugs are Finished

Here are the digi scrapped coffee mugs I told you about a few posts back. They're back from the "printer". These were really easy to do. I first created my document that I was digi scrapping and I made the size of the document 4" x 6'" (a standard photo). I then decorated that page using my digital scrapbooking papers and embellishments and finally added the photos. I then went to my local photo lab and uploaded these images to their software and chose to have them printed on mugs. (I chose the stretch option which stretches the image around the mug. So then I had to resize the image to get all my decorations on the mug). And here they are! It only took them a week to print them! So if you're thinking of doing this for a christmas present I think you may just get it back in time...... but check with your photo lab to make sure they could get it back to you before Christmas. I'm happy with the result..... hope the recipients will be too?

Digiscrap a PhotoBook when on special!

-

Have you ever wondered what to do with all that beautiful digitally scrapbooked work? Well you could print a photo book. I save all my pages up and then when there's a special on (Like the recent $9.95 for a 19 page book at Big W) I go in and get them printed. This way I have a hard copy of my work to show people and I get the pages printed very cheaply... that's around 52 cents per page. Just remember though the specials are more commonly done for the smaller books 8 x 8 etc. So when doing your layouts keep that in mind.
