Girl Heaven

-
Today I am in 'Girl Heaven'. My husband has taken my son to school and taken my daughter with him to a meeting. As it is with his sister and will give my daughter a chance to spend some time with her cousin C.J. who she loves playing with.

My day is all mapped out.... A bit of scrapping, a hair appointment, coffee with a friend, home for some folding of washing, prepare dinner, maybe some more scrapping and then my darlings all come home to me....

It's raining today too. Which is fantastic. We need the rain desperately as we've been in drought. Not sure if enough of this rainfall is happening in the dam catchment area but hopefully it is at least easing things a lttle. The best part for me though is it cools the day down. It has been so hot lately that even if I have had a spare half and hour I haven't been able to do any scrapbooking. Our airconditioner is in the lounge/living area and my scrap stuff is in the bedroom. I've tried working in the lounge but I get up and down so many times to get supplies all the cold air escapes and I don't get much done. This is also why my folding is at mamoth proportions. It is way too hot to stand in the room and fold everything, so I've been putting it off. Telling myself I'll tackle it of a night time when it's cooler. Of course then I'm either too tired or busy checking out all the message boards to see what's happening with all my scrapbuddies...

Well I'm off to do some scrapping. Hope to have something to show you all in the next day or two....

Thanks! I actually had a great time till I left the hairdresser and got hit by torrential rain.... sideways rain! (I was actually struggling up the street under my little umbrella thinking of that moment in Forrest Gump where he talks about the rain and the drops that came up!) But everything improved after a hot shower.... lol

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.
