Taking A Look At Things To See When You Visit Las Vegas

-
Las Vegas stands among the most popular destinations in America for people to visit, but one thing that a lot of people fail to realize, when they visit Vegas, is that there is a lot more to the city than just The Strip; if you are going to be taking a trip to Vegas at some point in the near future, you will want to make sure you know how to maximize your trip - and if you are not planning to take a trip to Vegas sometime soon, you can keep these three ideas in mind for whenever you eventually make the time to go!

Of course, when you are in Las Vegas, The Strip is "the place to go," but you should realize that there is also a downtown to Vegas, and this is where all the oldest casinos (and some of the greatest stories) are; when you go to Vegas, make sure you take the time to visit downtown, as you will be disappointed if you leave the city without seeing all that this part of the city has to offer.

And although most people spend plenty of time on The Strip when they go to Vegas, most of this time is spent there at night, but rather than just lounging by the pool all day or sleeping away the afternoon when you are in Vegas, you should also take the time to get out on the strip in the daytime; in addition to the Casinos and the shows, there is also plenty of great shopping in Vegas - right there on The Strip - and the best time to get out there and see all that the Vegas shopping experience has to offer is during the day.

And even though you will want to maximize the time you have to enjoy The Strip at night, one thing you should do is take at least one night to get away from The Strip for an hour or two: The Strip at night is a magnificent sight from far away, against the vast expanse of the desert, so drive a little ways away from The Strip one night, sit outside, and drink in the view.

Everyone who has spent time in Vegas has their favorite parts of the city, and when you make sure you indulge in these three things when you visit Vegas, you just might be adding one of these things to your own list when you leave.

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.
