Teaching Post

-
I am very excited to announce that I will be teaching classes at my local scrapbook store Arnolds Scrapbooking. I am so excited about this as I get to work with some lovely women who I've grown to know through my constant attendance in store.. LOL.  Secondly I love teaching.. I've taught people how to sail, how to drive and now I'll teach them how to craft. and thirdly I am so grateful for this opportunity to get paid doing something I love. How lucky can a girl get.  The best thing is there are no restrictions on my creativity. I can use any product in store.... or catalogue and order in........ and do any kind of project I like. I will concentrate on Off the page Projects and Canvases I think but my brain is literally whirring with ideas.

My first class will be in September. I am teaching a canvas using some of the really yummy papers from Melissa Francis.  I will upload a photo and details when the day and time is decided so you can pop on in for my class if you live nearby.. LOL

Thanks for reading ... I'll upload some more layouts and projects soon.

Hi Scrap Miser,
I recently found your blog and like it very much. On looking at your older posts I saw you were offering to send people the recipie for "Paperclay", the post said to e mail you for the recipie but I don't seem able to find your e mail. I will be subscribing to your blog and would love to get a chance at making the paperclay. Please could you help me out here.

Thanks

Hi Craftynon,
glad you like my blog.
It's been a while since I have made any clay so it may take me a day or two to dig out the recipe as I just rearranged my scrap space and don't know where the recipe is right now. but I am happy to share this with you. you can email me at: cheapscrapbookingideas@yahoo.com (I will then have a return address for sending it to you). Have you watched the video on YouTube? This is also helpful as it shows the consistency etc.

Look forward to hearing from you.

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?

Off the Page Project - Suitcase

-
Image
I finished this OTP project of a small suitcase for Nana over the Easter Break. This is for her to take to her Sewing and Quilting Classes. She can fill it with material and stuff and take it along with her. I did very little decoration to the outside of the suitcase as I felt it had a really great aged feel. Just adding the stamping a few paper cut out flowers and the ribbons and the chipboard letters. This project cost me $3.50. I got the suitcase for free from my Dad's house, the chipboard was free from the back of notebooks, The ribbons are left overs from other projects as is the paper. So a very miserly renovation! I think simple is often best when doing a present for someone else. I used a co-ordinating range of pink and brown papers to cover the chipboard which was left over from my book about me. I did step outside the scrapbooking arena when choosing my adhesive......lol..... I actually used liquid nails...... well I wanted to make sure those suckers were gonna stay put A...
