My Girl

-





Hey everyone, here's my latest layout of my daughter. I went with a pink and navy layout even though the colour photo showing the colours of this outfit was so small. I had these fabulous american crafts elements ribbons to use and as I've wanted to use them very badly for sometime now... this was the perfect opportunity. (They were a gift from my last place of work when I was leaving). This layout is a pretty expensive one for me as the embellishment "Girl" cost $2 so all up the layout cost around $4.50. The flowers and butterfly I made out of vellum as an afterthought as I felt this corner needed something. Of course as you can see I've used my autum leaves stamp again!
I do wonder though what you think of the "my"? I had these metal letters left over from another layout but as they were more of a brass colour and the 'girl' is so silver I didn't think they'd go together well so I painted the letters blue and then added the white dots to match one of the ribbons.... What do you think? Please leave a comment to vote as I can change them to a simple stamp on the vellum tags if that's the consensus?

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.
