Little girls blue and purple bedroom

-
These are the photos of the girls bedroom. The name plate for the door is first.
 Then the lamp. All I did here was spray the base and lampshade to match the bed.  I glued on tiny satin rosebuds. Then I stamped butterflies onto acetate cut around them and then coloured them using art glitter. when it was done I added dimensional magic to stop all the glitter falling off over time.

 The bed was white when I got it. We sprayed it in two colours. Purple down the bottom and then blue up the top. The small 3 tier shelf was sprayed the same.
 This is the painting my darling hubby did for my daughters room. (last year) and I wanted to keep it in the decorating as he put so much work into it.
 This is a canvas that I will be teaching at Arnolds in the future (you are getting a preview).  I did the background using a stencil and glimmermist. I handmade the flowers and made the butterflies using the stamping on acetate technique.
All in all this was a very cheap redecoration. After adding the bed, paint, linen etc the total cost was $178. Is that miserly enough for you all? 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.
