My Little Girl Turned 4.

-




My DD turned 4 over the weekend. We had a few little parties for the event. First there was her school cake ceremony then her family dinner with cupcakes and finally a trip to Seaworld.

I'm finding the Seaworld photos lots of fun to scrap. I'm doing these digitally so I can have them all printed in one book. I love the embellishments from these kits. here are a few pages for you to give me your feedback on.

The kits I used are:

These pages look fabulous! I haven't got into digi at all (challenged in that area lol) but I am going to get into it with CM soon. Great photos and I love your b/ground pages. Your DD takes a good photo. Cute little seahorse in the Seaworld LO, looks like a brooch to me.
Oh, Happy Birthday Rory!

Thanks Deb. I think there's good points for each kind of scrapping and enjoy digi scrap for projects with lots of photos as it's quicker. You'll love it once you get the hang of it. Getting it printed is the next thing to consider. You save considerably if you print it as a book at somewhere like Rabbit Photo or the like. But if you want to print a page and put it in an album with a page protector it gets a little expensive!

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.
