2 Peas Wed Blogger Challenge: Share your fave beauty tip with the rest of us...

I'm not very good with keeping up my beauty routines. If I have an hour of time to spend on me I'd prefer to spend it scrapbooking than cleansing toning etc...

BUT I have found that as I enter my 37th year that a little maintenance is now becoming necessary so......... I will have a shower (cleanse in the shower) get out tone then put on a face mask (choose one that doesn't dry hard!) then I'll sit down to do some scrapbooking. If it's not too cold I'll sometimes also put in a conditioning treatment in my hair, wrap in cling film and then a towel or hat (I have a towelling hat specially for this) so while I'm really treating myself (to some serious scrapbooking time) I can also do some maintenance!

I have found though that my juice is having a remarkable effect on my skin. (My husband and I started drinking Mona Vie a couple of months ago and he has lost 6kilos or around 13.2 pounds and I have had alot clearer skin. I read somewhere that Angelina Jolie was drinking it to help stop the ageing process so thought I'd give it a go. I have alot more energy than before, have lost a little weight {I didn't need to lose much in the first place so that was just a nice bonus} and my skin is now breakout free!

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.
