Fun in the sun

-
Hey everyone,

This layout was alot of fun to do as was the photo shoot! LOL.  We live near the beach so there are lots of beach photo opportunities in my stash! 

This layout is very simple. I have used one piece of paper from one of the DCWV stacks (The Endless Summer Stack). Which I placed on a white piece of cardstock and cut out the clouds and using pop dots attached them back to the page. I cut the seagulls from another piece of paper from the same range and also attached them using pop dots. I varied the height of my clouds and seaguls to add extra dimension to the page. (I love dimension at the moment! It's a quick and easy way to add interest to your page.)

I used some K&Company stickers I got at my local scrapbook store in the discount bin to embellish my page. The K&Company stickers had such dimension and were so cute I just had to use them on this layout. They were the inspiration for the whole layout. My title is a rub on from porta craft called Stitch Style, which I got from one of the discount stores. There is also a rub on in the top left hand corner of an imitation hand stitched sun which unfortunately I didn't photograph very well..... sorry! 

You can still use beautiful items on your pages you just need to be creative in how you spend your scrap budget. 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!

-

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.
