Online Expo

-
OMG! I'm excited! There's going to be an online scrap fair..... I'm definitely going! Check it out at: http://presentations.inxpo.com/Shows/Scrapbooks/Website/home.htm

The organisers appear to be the same team that put together "Scrapbook Lifestyles". If you haven't seen this I urge you drop by and check it out. This show has lots of cool ideas and techniques and I've definitely been inspired by them... Plus its FREE TV online, so you can watch it whenever your kids give you a break, or in my case go to bed. (Of course as a seller of internet connections myself I think it prudent of me to warn y'all to check out how much download your monthly plan gives you and factor that in.... otherwise the 'free' show might cost you alot! I have an unlimited download so I can watch as much as I like)

Last season they did a scrapmakeover on a customer. All the designers took time with her and helped her with everything from shopping to organising her scrap space to taking photos and of course how to do a layout. You can check them out at: http://my.bhgscrapbooksetc.com/premium/lifestyle/?esrc=sblsdr There is only one problem, if you're not in America you can't join up for the member videos.

Anyway this Fair is a wonderful opportunity to learn from some of the masters! The class list looks pretty good. So I hope I'll meet a few of you in the lounge? I'm registering as ... what else?... 'thescrapmiser' so if you see me feel free to have a chat and let me know if you're a regular on my forum or just a regular reader of my blogs.... Look forward to meeting you guys there!

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?

Digiscrap a PhotoBook when on special!

-

Have you ever wondered what to do with all that beautiful digitally scrapbooked work? Well you could print a photo book. I save all my pages up and then when there's a special on (Like the recent $9.95 for a 19 page book at Big W) I go in and get them printed. This way I have a hard copy of my work to show people and I get the pages printed very cheaply... that's around 52 cents per page. Just remember though the specials are more commonly done for the smaller books 8 x 8 etc. So when doing your layouts keep that in mind.
