Prima Romance Novel Collection - Love

-



I wanted to work with this beautiful range of Prima Papers - Romance Novel (Dear John and Love Story) so I actually worked backwards this time. Creating my layout and then adding some photos last. I used two pieces of patterned paper and offcuts of light pink, white and burgundy cardstock and some handmade paper from other projects, to make the flowers.  I used a sizzix die (hearts and swirl) in the Big Shot Pro so I could cut from my background 12 x 12 piece of chipboard. I then applied patterned paper to the back of the cut out area and then used another TCW Stencil - Brocade and texture paste to add some dimension to the page.  I got a new stamp from Inkadinkado for Christmas - Steam Punk which I tried out on this layout. I also made the picket fence using a sizzix die and the cut outs from my original background and decorated them in two different ways.. One was covered in patterned paper and one was painted. Finally I used Kaisercraft Rub-ons In-Love and Cre8tiv Chipboard Letters to finish the layout.... then I hunted down some photos to go with the layout.. lol   My mum would of said this was working "Arse about Face" but thankfully this time it worked.

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.
