Wedding Album - The Bells

-






O.K. so here is another page from my wedding album. This page was alot of fun to do as it was so simple. The DCWV paper had a window on it so I simply cut this window out and placed my photo behind and then added stickers. I did go back with some glitter paint and highlight sections of the paper as this one had no glitter on it.
I had to journal this page as a special page on its own because this moment was one of those OMG! moments..... You see as we left the church as man and wife the church bells were rung... but the first ring had a strange sound to it... then the ringing resumed.. I didn't notice so much but my husband did and on questioning my cousin (the ringer) found out that unbeknown to him a pigeon was nesting inside the bell... when the bell was rung the poor pigeon was killed and the carcass rained down on my cousin. Poor bird! Poor Cousin!
I often wonder if this set up some bad kharma for us??? Oh well it hasn't jinxed us so far... though next February will be our (unlucky for some) 13th wedding anniversary.
Content aside though I love journalling these little details for the kids to read about later... they love it!

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.
