Hi Everyone,

For those of you who follow me regularly you will be aware that last year my darling hubby and I renewed our wedding vows... We did this to reaffirm our committment to each other in front of friends  (old and new) and family...... Despite some of the rough times we've had, we love each other more than ever. So this was a wonderful romantic adventure for us.... and best of all .... this time he sang to me! At our first wedding his sister serenaded us but this time he sang to me as I walked down the isle to him flanked by our beautiful children. Imagine it girls, as I walked down the isle he sang "I think I loved you before I met you" (Savage Garden). (Yes I cried).  

Well we got some gorgeous family photos from that event. Everyone is dressed up and colour co-ordinated. So rather than just do a scrapbook page of this day I decided to do a canvas for our wall. I really liked the finished product (which is all that counts after all as I have to look at it everyday on my wall) but if you want to view it you will need to go to the June edition of Scrap'n'art magazine and check out the reader submissions. http://scrapnart.com/issue/june-2012/article/june-bride-reader-submissions to see what I did with it. (Hint: I used papers from the Bo Bunny Home Sweet Home Collection).  Although our wedding and subsequent vow renewal doesn't occur in June..... as that is a Summer Wedding for the Northern Hemisphere I thought our June Wedding (February) fit the bill nicely..... and so did they.

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.
