Well Mothers Day is Tomorrow

-
Hi everyone,
well tomorrow is mothers day. I hope you all have a great day with your mums or your kids or both! Lol.

We'll be having a very quiet day as DH is away at a conference this weekend. And as we're without the car and I'm not much of a walker we shan't be going far. Maybe just down to the beach for a picnic (it's only two blocks I think even I can manage that). Many years ago now BK (before kids) I went to Melbourne to see a friend of mine. Anyway I stayed with my husbands' brother while I was there and I was really shocked at what he thought walking distance was...... ESPECIALLY IN HEELS! OMG! My feet hurt after that!

So after raisin toast for breakfast and opening my presents.... I can't wait to see what DS bought me... DD spoiled the surprise by telling me he'd hid a necklace under his pillow for me! LOL! We've managed not to let him know she spoiled his surprise. And I know DD has made something she's really proud of! I think we'll go for a stroll down to the beach and the kids can have a play at the park there. Then we'll either have lunch there and stroll home again OR a picnic in the carport (if it's raining which is DD's favourite past-time lately). Then I think they can have an afternoon of DVD's so I can get some scrapbooking in.

So I hope you all have a great day!

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?
