Can't Wait to Meet You

-
O.K. so I have done my back in .... again.... this is a long term injury that I've had for 21 years now and gotta say I'm mighty over it! Anyway this means I can't get to my crafting table to do some layouts... which would normally kill me... but now that I've got digital scrapbooking again it's not a problem at all.

This layout is the first page of an album I'm planning for my darling hubby.

Hubby is doing some business coaching at the moment. Which I gotta say I was against. I know he loves sharing what he knows and taking a business from nothing to something... but my experience of this is always that start ups don't appreciate him. In the beginning they're all great... then somewhere along the way they forget what it is that they didn't know and totally dump on him. I've watched him get disheartened over and over again and really wasn't keen, but so far fingers crossed this client understands that she doesn't know how to do any of the stuff he does. So as she is a music promoter and booking agent for bands hubby is really getting in touch with his musical side which he's put on hold for many years. I can't tell you the number of guitars he's sold over the years (really special ones to him) to keep us fed. So he's a one of a kind!

Anyway this client has been involved in the planning for the Beach Boys tour of Australia and hubby is super excited as he might get to meet them. So I thought it would be cool to do an album of the meeting... if it happens....lol!  So I've started with the cover (above) using My Memories Suite Software.

I can't wait to get some photos of hubby with his favourite band and scrapbook them. Am always doing layouts of the kids so I thought it would be nice to do some for him too seeing he's so supportive of my addiction.

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.
