MYO Flowers

-
I love using flowers on my layouts!  They're so pretty and add some beauty and softness to my pages.... but I don't luv the prices of some flowers. Like the prima range with the lace and pearl centres. Aren't they gorgeous? But I just can't pay $7.95 for three flowers. So recently I was looking through You Tube and watching some of the fabulous videos available on making flowers.  There are so many different ways to make flowers, each giving a unique look and no matter what your skill level you'll find a flower you can make.   But while I was looking I realised that there isn't a video on a flower I make. So I'll be uploading a video of this soon. My flowers are very cheap! (Were you expecting anything less from me? LOL). I make them out of tissue paper and can get at least 45 flowers out of one packet of tissue paper. So keep an eye out for this upcoming video.

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?
