Quirky DD Photo Shoot with Pop

-
This is a layout I just completed about my DD. She posed for this photo when she went to feed the ducks with Pop one day. I'm very lucky. Pop is an excellent photographer so I get some really excellent photos to scrapbook.
Here I used papers from my stash and multiple photos (the small ones on the left are all sections of the large photo) to fill the space. The paper flower is from my K and Co Pad of flowers.
For the photo corner I used off cuts of the background cardstock. Cut it to shape. Inked the edge lightly and then used kindy glitz (which I also used around each flower on the paper flower) and attached it with pop dots.
The title was a large chipboard letter which I inked and an inkadoo stamp on the background cardstock. Which I then cut around and cut off the first letter and then applied to the layout with pop dots.
The journalling was done straight on the page with a scrapbook suitable pen.

I had lots of background paper available to make my title and photo corner because I traced around all the elements and then cut out this cardstock that would be hidden under layers. Always remember if you do this to allow a border to stick your upper layers to.

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.
