NZ Dare 53

The Dare: to scrap the weird + strange,
am I allowed to say that my kids are weird and strange? LOL - just sometimes :-)


This dare was very cool... not so much a challenge but more of a dare, perfect :-) Love dares like this to push you out of your zone of scrapping some of those perfectly posed photos with beautiful colours. thanks for a fun dare Rach!

LOL I love the subject matter of both layouts. They could both so happen or have happened in my house. I love that you scrapbooked them.

Great layouts.

Oh, yes, my kids are weird and strange sometime (and Mr 8 says to me "why are you so weird, Mum?" sometimes!).

Lovely layouts

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...
