Believe Layout

-















So of course here's another baby layout.... LOL! I used the DCWV Nana's Nursery Paper Pad again and as the papers are all quite busy I inked the edges of each piece of patterned paper to ensure you could see where one paper started and another ended. I used a Kaiser Rub On for my title (from a Christmas themed pack) and a flower with a jewelled brad to match my colour scheme.
The saying: What feeling is so nice as a child's hand in yours? So small, so soft and warm, like a kitten hudling in the shelter of your clasp. Was something I saw in a scrapbooking magazine a few years ago when I was still working in an office... Anyway we had these clear labels for our files and I printed the saying on it then hoping I'd one day find a photo to do it justice and finally I did! (This is the same as what Anne was talking about: using Avery Labels to print titles and journalling).
The little metal hand in the bottom right hand corner is from a pack at the thrift store and cost me $2 for a pack of mixed them pieces 10 in total.
The heart sticker across the top left of the photo came on an adhesive roll from the thrift shop along with another one that says "Baby Girl" which I am sure to use! LOL!
I do find it difficult to put a price on these 8 x 8 pages as I'm only using a porting of my 12 x 12 sheets of cardstock andpatterned paper.
I do suggest though if you are having trouble getting inspiration that you sit down and get a pad of co-ordinatin papers and an album and cut up your papers into odd shapes and strips and make yourself use them.

Hi guys, from the look of this post my spelling and grammar have gone out the window..... Sorry! I'm rushing... trying to put up posts and do layouts when the baby is sleeping so obviously I didn't check it before I approved it. VERY LAX of me! Will try harder in future! LOL!

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!

-
Image
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.
