Free Digital Scrapbook Kits

-
Well if you're travelling on this digiscrap journey with me you'll be as excited as I was to find this site: http://www.scrapwow.com/ . I was really impressed with the size of the free kit. It has lots of useful papers and embellishments.

So on Friday Night I did some scrapbooking at my girlfirend's house. It was GREAT! I got lots done. My favourite is this one. (The title is: Other things may CHANGE us but we start and end with FAMILY.)


The only problem I have now is that at my heart I'm a "hands on" scrapper so when I used this background paper I fell in love with it and now want a piece of it for real!

I have gone back to using the Scrapbook Max program as I felt it allowed me alot more creative freedom with my backgrounds. But don't take my word on that, try them both for yourself and see what you think.

Wow, you are cranking out those digital pages, however, I think I'm a REAL hands on Gal and couldn't give up the real paper and pictures and the pleasure that comes from seeing a completed page that you have stuck together yourself.

I can't give up the "hard" stuff either. Which is why I desperately want these papers for real.... sigh.... it's great for getting through alot of the photo's I wouldn't print though AND it allows me to scrapbook while I'm waiting for the kids to finish Karate and swimming lessons!

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.
