School Dance...

-
I can't wait to scrap these photos. Tonight my DS's school had a dress up school dance... DS went as a cowboy..... I just need some time now! Darn it I've got stuff on every day for the next few days and I really can't wait to do these photos. Don't you hate that? You 've got some great photos.... you feel inspired and know what you're going to do and then you don't have the time to do them.

With this shot I accidently got the effect I've been trying to get for weeks. This clear foreground and blurred background is an effect I've been going through all my old scrapbooking magazines to find the tutorial on it.... Which incidently didn't help me! When I found the tutorial it told me what to do but I didn't have corresponding buttons on my camera. So I went through the booklets for my camera but that didn't really help. So I randomly tried the different settings out... Still no luck and then BAM! This evening I fluke it! Probably can't reproduce this effect again to save my life but...... I did it here! yah!

DS did enjoy himself.... I promise! This was a concentrating expression as he tried to remember the steps to the dance. I was actually really proud of him though cause he participated this evening where usually he goes all shy and won't join in.



This is me doing the chicken dance..... lol......

And this fabulous clown is DS's teacher! What a great teacher she is! We're very lucky to have such a great teacher for DS's grade 1 teacher.
The best thing from a scrapbooking perspective is all the fabulous colours in her outfit open up the background and embellishment options enormously. Can't wait!!

   ...." I don't have a CLUE about what to do next...an embellishment? Journaling? Arghhhh!" That's the little voice in your head by the way - lol. ...and don't worry - you're not alone. We've all got one. Without a doubt, the toughest part of scrapbooking is coming up with new ideas .... ...And when the ideas dry up, so does the motivation...  ...But don't let a lack of ideas stop you from PRESERVING your memories.... ...Because behind each photo, there's a STORY... ...A story that needs to be told...  ...So people aren't forgotten and those special occasions will always be REMEMBERED ...  ...So if you get stuck for new ideas, I want to help re-ignite your creative spark, so you can: •    Make SERIOUS progress on that pile of photos you've been meaning to turn into pages.... •    Get more CREATIVE than ever before...and produce layouts that looks like art. ... •    Create pag

50 Ideas to Get Organized and Enjoy Your Scrapbooking Hobby

-
Scrapbooking is a wonderful hobby! Besides being relaxing and fun, it also allows you to be creative and to spend quality time with your family and friends. Plus, it results in a storybook of lifelong memories. One very important element of scrapbooking is getting it all organized. This includes, but is not limited to: storing all of your supplies in an organized fashion so they can be found instantly when you need them. remembering what supplies to pick up at the store, and eliminating duplicate purchases. finding time to research new and creative ways to spruce up your scrapbooks. finding enough time to enjoy the art of scrapbooking in your busy life. TELL A STORY. Plan your photos, before you shoot. Instead of taking random shots of someone standing here, or someone else sitting there, tell a story. For example, let's say it's Halloween. You may plan on taking four photos of your child: on the hayride taking him/her to the pumpkin field.
