Purse Album - In Progress

-













Here are the photos of the album I made at my first class at my LSS. I was reminded by one of my readers that I'd completely forgotten to show you the finished product. (see previous blog entry: http://cheap-scrapbooking-ideas.blogspot.com/2007/04/attended-my-first-lss-class.html)


Well.... work in progress.... you see I've decided to use it to showcase the yearly photo of the kids so it will take a while to fill all the pages but here are some photos of what I've done so far...


This is a very simple project to make... make a little book and then make the covers the shape of a bag. Just remember that if you give the binding a good flat surface the purse will stand up on its own for display purposes. I love the papers we used in this project I think they're fancy pants designs.

I haven't done too much to each page as I wanted the photos to be the centre piece here. A few words and poems and the odd embellishment is all that is needed.

What a pretty way to showcase the year's pics. I love the little tags too.

I came across your site this morning and really enjoyed it. I have a closely related, although non competing site. Since we are not in direct competition I thought it might be beneficial to both of us to do a blogroll link exchange. If you are interested please send an email and let me know the anchor text you would like used in your link.

I will get your link up immediately and then let you know the anchor text for my link.

Please take a look at my site and let me know if you are interested. http://babyfootprintstampideas.com

Look forward to hearing from you.

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.
