A camping we will go

A camping we will go, high ho the dairy o, a camping we will go. Record downfalls we will bring. Record downfalls we will bring. Hi ho the dairy o, a camping we will go. (You need to sing this)

Well I won't be posting for a few days as we're going camping. The funny thing is whenever I even contemplate camping it rains. Now at the moment this is a good thing as South East Queensland (where i live) is in drought. The dams that supply our city water supplies are at record lows and rain is needed badly. Which is why despite the rain we're going anyway..... Only way I know to keep the rain coming.

I also seem to have this freakish effect on the weather whenever I leave my washing out overnight. Bam! It rains. I have contacted the local water board and offered to go do my washing out near the dam, if they'll pay me of course. But they're treating me very strangely so I don't think they're desperate enough yet. lol

Anyway I'll be back in a couple of days (my estimate is actually one day as I don't think my husband will like being crammed in a tent with two small bored children and I'm sure there is a leak in the airbed so my back isn't going to cope with sleeping on the ground) with (hopefully) some great holiday photo's to show y'all.

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?
