Friends - 20 year reunion

-































This is the final layout I completed at the crop night. I called it Friends.... this night was the 20 year reunion of my high school. The photo of four is me and my closest friends. We all live within 15 minutes of each others houses. My best scrap buddy is in the white shirt with the black print.

The other photos is of most of the group from school. We're still in touch with everyone but not as much as they live a little further away. There are only two girls missing from this photo. One couldn't make it to the reunion and the other wasn't there when we took the photo. The two extra girls in the photo organised the evening and did a great job.

On this layout I used DCWV glitter paper from a bulk pack to cover the chipboard letters. The white flowery, print was added thanks to a clear plastic shopping bag from Ally which I cut up and added. The small flowers were all in a pack that cost $2.00 (which my best scrap buddy gave me) and the large flower was purchased in a pack of 10 for $2. The silver glitter swirl is a bella item ($2.10).

I loved the rub on "It takes a long time to grow an old friend" as it's so true (cost $2.95 for the sheet at Crazy Clarks).... And the journal rub on from a Kaiser pack for $2.50. And finally the bling stickers are a Kaiser item for $2.

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.
