from the junk heap

another DCM challenge - this was a mid week one -The fabric on here is an ex-swatch from an interior designer & would have been thrown out if not rescued by a fellow scrapper/stamper/cardmaker & shared - thanks Ali :-). I stamped on it with stazon & added the name plate also with a stamp on it.

Well done that Scavenging Srapper!

The contrasts of the rough hessian and the delicate pattern on the frame along with the brown and pink colours make a great card.

Looks great Lara. Thanks for the comment on my rainbow layout. The title and journalling was printed out on one plain piece of vellum. I used different colour text boxes in word with 'white' letters to create the title. I cut out the squares and overlapped them and then cut out the journalling separately. Hope that answers your question.

Purging

The stuff can take over.  My stuff was covering my work surface and much of the bedroom floor.  I had to do a big sort out. I was brutal.   Stuff...ready to go. I packaged it in some storage totes I had that needed a new home (I’m waiting for my new CTMH travel system to arrive) and listed it on s local trading site.  It’s gone now. It doesn’t look pretty but I have a desk space and things are organised. The rest of my supplies now fit in this cupboard. Since the ‘purge’ I have had the space to create.  It feels good and it’s great to be able to get to my desk. A few pages made since the tidy up...and a box of 20 cards!

digital scrapbooking

I have been asked by a couple of friends via facebook about digital scrapbooking...what it is, how to and some sites etc. I thought I'd put a post here about it and send them here (just click on the purple coloured words and you'll head to the site I'm talking about). Essentially digital scrapbooking is using digital 'elements' to create scrapbook pages all on your computer, they can be saved as jpegs and printed on your home printer or through a photo developer, or you can just save them to a disc & can share them easily via email, flickr or even facebook! OK, design software, I use gimp because it's free! You can download trials of photoshop , photoshop elements and Creative Suite if you think you might like to purchase some slightly more user friendly software...There are other software options, but photoshop seems to be a main one. Edited to add: Quick pages.... basically the page is made for you and you just put your photo into it....check out this...
