12 cent layout

-



I was thrilled to receive this double page layout from a regular reader. She's taken "Miser" to new heights here with these pages. As she has just moved across the world she is without her scrapbooking supplies which are all in a container on their way here.





(I know alot of you just supressed a shudder then... don't worry me too! Imagine NO SUPPLIES for six weeks or more!)





So this enterprising reader has turned her hand to creating these pages from mostly "found items". At a total cost of 12cents.



QUOTE: "Here is what you get for 12c. I got frustrated as I hadn't been able to scrapbook for so long, so I gathered together things that I had around the house. The little house was on the front of the card that my mum sent (which is the note on the page), the pink background and star background was the celophane around the flowers that my nana gave me as a house warming pressie. The patterned paper and the lettering came with a magazine I bought. The only thing that I had to buy was some plain paper. I bought a pack of 25 from Spotlight for 2.99 which works out at a little less than 12c."


I think this looks GREAT! AND I'm so jealous! Do I need to hand over my tittle as Scrapmiser now?


If anyone else wants to submit a layout to me for posting please email it to: cheapscrapbookingideas@yahoo.com and include whether or not you'd like your name published with it and how much it cost you to create.

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.
