Equipment To Make Sure You Have For Skiing

-
Skiing can be a great way to enjoy a day (or a week!) in the middle of the winter, as it will allow you to workout, get fresh air, and relax, all at the same time (and of course, all these things will combine to help you remain healthy and stay in great shape!), but one mistake a lot of people - especially those people who do not ski often - make is that they hit the slopes without all the equipment they need, and this causes their ski adventure to be a great big failure instead of a great big bundle of fun.

In order to experience a successful ski adventure, the first thing you will need is some base layers that will wick sweat away from your body, as this will be necssary for keeping you dry and warm; a lot of people simply go with long underwear in order to stay warm when skiing, but realize that long underwear will have a tendency to absorb your sweat, which can leave you feeling cold and uncomfortable throughout the day, and for this reason it is often worth your time and money to find a base layer that will instead pull the sweat away from your body!

On top of making sure your skin stays dry with good base layers, you will want to make sure the layers away from your body keep your base layers dry; make sure you have pants that prevent water from making its way to your legs, and make sure your coat is both water-resistant and wind-resistant so that you will stay warm as the day goes on.

And you will be exerting a lot of energy when you are on the slopes, which means that you will do your body a favor if you replenish it with some water and some food throughout the day; a daypack is a great asset to a ski day, as you will be able to carry water and food in this daypack (as well as extra gloves, scarves, and hats, in case the ones you start out with begin to get really wet), and will be able to keep up your energy throughout the day.

Make sure you hit the slopes with all the proper equipment, and your day on the slopes will be that much more likely to be a great success!

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!

-
Image
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.
