Discount Store Finds worth the search!

-

I regularly troll through the discount shops to check out their scrapbooking supplies and see if there are any great finds to be found!

This time I found a pack of paper, cardstock embellishments and cardstock letters that all match. Best of all I paid around half the price for each piece that you'd pay at the scrapbook stores.... mmm ... maybe less....

The cardstock embellishments and letters were in a single package for $2.95 a pack and the paper pack containing 12 papers (six designs) for $4.95.












Then I found this great pack of two velvet papers for $3.50 which is a good price when you consider the velet papers can be anything up to $2.40 a piece in the scrapbook stores.






So if you have the time to regularly check those little discount stores out it's well worth the trouble..... can't wait to show you what I did with the matching pack...

I'm a regular at one of our cheapie stores too. You can get some good stuff there...just have to watch where you place them (re acid free etc) as you know. I was given one in this range too.

Layout: What do you do?

This is the layout I completed last night. I love these photos taken on our holiday to the sunshine coast in september 2006. My son picked an ice-cream flavour called strawberry shortcake... but then as sometimes happens.... he didn't like it... so his solution was simple... share with his sister. Luckily she didn't mind! I thought I'd try a technique for hidden journalling that allows you to open the journalling box despite the rest of the layout being inside your page protector. Here I've used the smallest photo as the 'book cover' for my journalling. This section is raised off the layout via magnets that allow this photo to be on the outside of the page protector. This is a really cheap layout with the magnet costing $2 for a set of 6 (pairs), my chipboard letters (share) and arrow are off the back of old notebooks and the "bling" comes in a packet of 50 pieces for $2 and the larger blue bling flower is off my daughters/ hairclip... so all tha...

Off the Page Project - Suitcase

I finished this OTP project of a small suitcase for Nana over the Easter Break. This is for her to take to her Sewing and Quilting Classes. She can fill it with material and stuff and take it along with her. I did very little decoration to the outside of the suitcase as I felt it had a really great aged feel. Just adding the stamping a few paper cut out flowers and the ribbons and the chipboard letters. This project cost me $3.50. I got the suitcase for free from my Dad's house, the chipboard was free from the back of notebooks, The ribbons are left overs from other projects as is the paper. So a very miserly renovation! I think simple is often best when doing a present for someone else. I used a co-ordinating range of pink and brown papers to cover the chipboard which was left over from my book about me. I did step outside the scrapbooking arena when choosing my adhesive......lol..... I actually used liquid nails...... well I wanted to make sure those suckers were gonna stay put A...

Free digital scrapbooking supplies

In my never ending quest to save money on my scrapbooking I've been wanting to start digital scrapbooking. Well I'm happy to say I now have a laptop... yeah.... don't ask me any nerd questions about it... it's a laptop, it works.... it's new.... that's all I know... Now the really hard part starts.... I have to learn how to digi-scrap..... I have a program on my laptop that will apparently do this... but I don't know anything about it... so it'll be a while before I'm completing layouts worthy of being posted. On a brighter note I found an excellent resource site where you can download some backgrounds, brushes and embellishments. http://www.mistypink.net/ They look totally original to me and I think rather pretty. See what you think.. Let me know!
