How to use Bark on a Layout

-


O.K. so here is an example of a layout I did previously using bark. This layout has been posted before but I thought for anyone who hasn't been with me since the beginning you wouldn't of seen this idea and therefore my last post might of seemed a little odd.... LOL



So here you can see I've used Bark, gumnuts and paperclay to embellish my layout very cheaply. I do practice what I preach!


For those of you who have watched my videos on the "no bake clay" here is an example of me using this on one of my layouts. I pushed the clay into a mould my best scrapbuddy owns and let it dry overnight before adhering it to little squares of paper.

Hello! I really like your blog and read it regularly. Keep up the good work. :-)

Can I make a small, hopefully constructive suggestion? The header of this blog really puts me off. It is way too deep...especially on my laptop's screen. I really get irritated with having to scroll right down to find your latest post. :-(

I realise you're using this area to monetise the blog...but wouldn't it be better placed in a sidebar somewhere near the top? There's in your face and then there's IN YOUR FACE...if you know what I mean!

Keep up the good work. I'm enjoying your digital LOs.

Hi Jill, thanks for reading me. And thanks for the positive feedback. I'll see what I can do about moving those google ad words.... I'm not very good at working in Html so when my DH is available to do it I'll see what he can do.

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.
