Wedding Album - My Bouquet

-



I've finished another page for my album. This one is all about my bouquet. Which I loved! And nearly didn't get! On the day of our wedding the flowers were to be delivered to my husbands' parents place but the florist delivered them to the wrong house. (Which was empty at the time, the people who lived there were out). Luckily for us there was an old man in their street who watched EVERYTHING! And he went and got them and delivered them to the right house. So his busy body ways that had driven us crazy up till then actually came in handy! LOL

So love thy neighbour even the odd ones. You never know when their quirky ways will come handy to you.

I scanned all my photos and have them on back up just in case which I highly recommend! I took one of the images and zoomed in on my flowers and printed this separately (that's the small square photo you see). The paper I used for this background comes from the Die Cuts With a View Once Upon a Time range and has a lovely stained glass effect of flowers. My title was done using a sheet of stickers I got for $2. I also embellished with a few stickers from another $2 sheet.

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.
