Playing Creatively

Each month a group of local ladies get together to create our pages and get our memories recorded or to make cards to share special sentiments with others.  Yesterday was one of those days.  I look forward to this day each month.  I had quite a few photos to scrap yesterday and still have a bundle from our adventure to the beach and farm last weekend - I think these will be in a book all of their own.  Here are some of the pages I created last night.  Layouts 2 & 3 made use of the resin we had our first play with yesterday - so fast.  Nic's instructions and the materials from Andrea were spot on. 
 
 
 
 

'the Farm Experience' is my favourite layout from yesterday.  The simplicity of the photograph seems to work with the slightly more detailed patterned paper that I sprayed with a little Glimmermist first.

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...
