I'm in the process of scrapbooking with photos of Lily. So far i have completed about 5 pages. I got an idea too of making one for a cook book. Might start that soon as i have lots of recipies just lying around with no home. Hopfully it'll turn out as i expect or close to it.
that's fantastic Tiff! I love that magazine and can't wait to see yours!
Tegan - sounds like you are going great guns. The recipe book sounds like a great idea and one I am going to do later on.
I went to the Art and Craft fair here in Melbourne yesterday and it was great! Scrapbooking Memories were holding workshops so I went along and learnt heaps. Bought some paper and stuff very cheaply. Not enought scrapping stands but that's probably a good considering I bought something from each of the ones there. 8-[
how is everyone going? Must start my minibook soon!
Nell - LOL, lucky there wasn't more scrapping stalls then - you may have spent a fortune!
I have done a couple more pages but have come to a stand-still once again because I have to get some more photos printed. I don't really want to fill up Gabby's album with pics of her from the first 2 months 8-[
LOL at filling up an album with pics only from the first two months Deb!
I dont know where you guys get the time! I was impressed with getting 1 page done LOL!
Ooooh never thought of going to an Art & Craft fair Nell, I must check & see if there's one in Sydney. Trish do you know? And would you be up for an outing
Wow - congrats Tiggy. Must have been a beautiful, professional looking LO. Did you have to send the actual page, or a colour photocopy/ditial image? I've always been worried about whether you get it back afterwards 8-[
Originally I sent an emailed photo of my LO but now I have had to send it off to the publisher so that they can take their own photos. They promise it will be back within six weeks!
Tiggy, congrats on getting published. You must be very proud.
Sarah, yep there is a show coming up in late August I think it is. I think it's out at Rosehill. I will check it out and get back to you on it. I go every year, they are fantastiic, buggar to get the pram around in though. Will gladly meet up with you there if you want.
How in the world did I not know about this forum!lol
I have read the 1st 3 pages, but it's after 12am and I have to get up for the kids school tomorrow, so i will have to catch up on the other stuff later.
I have just started getting back into scrapping, and am starting to get things organised again. I have about a million photos and I am not joking, with 4 kids and stuff from when I was growing up as well I have my life's work cut out for me. I started on my eldest and did 28 pages which covered the first 3 moths of her life LOL. So you might understand. I guess in some ways I am going for simple but effective so that I actually get things done before i cark it!LOL
Ok I have read back through all the pages LOL, took awhile but I am up with what's been happening.
Tiff wonderful new for your LO! You must be proud.
We have started getting together at Mum's for scrapping nights on MOnday, (my cousin, Mum and I) and we are going to see if anyone else is interested once we are into it. Mum and I sell scrapbooking stuff on ebay and she has her back room set up as a little shop too, which atm is in one hell of a mess as Dad is renovating LOL adding drawers and things.
We got together twice, but tonight we're not as I wanted to watch Big brother and so did my cousin. And luckily for Mum cos she is sick anyway. I am planning on cropping pics tonight. I worked out a layout for Jordan's first zoo trip and it was going to take 6 pages, and most of the pics are of dopey looking animals in cages, so I changed my mind and now am cropping all the animal pics to use as extrta's rather than as centrepieces. I have punched some as squares, and tonights plan is to cut the ovals and circles.
I use top loading albums, I don't mind the creative mem albums, but can't afford them, plus I like to have all different coloured backgrounds. I don't usually theme an album, just a grp of pics. I like 3d embellishments too. I found when I first started I collected so much stuff and then didn't use it. I still have it but cos I have so much I forget what I do have and later I find things and then think bugger that would have looked good.
Oh well I won't bore you any longer, hope you all are getting some scrapping done this week. If anyone wants to take a look at our ebay stuff PM me and I'll give you the details.
Best wishes michelle
Michelle - LOL @ having so much stuff that you forget about it. I can see me heading in that direction! I can't believe you didn't know about this thread either!! LOL
I just found out that my friend also does scrapbooking and she knows someone who does creative memories. She says she has all kinds of bits and pieces so I will hopefully get together with her and do some scrapping at some stage.
Yeah Deb I seem to have my sticky nose in most people's business don't I.
Great about the creative mem friend LOL. I love Creative mem custom cutting system. I jhave the circles and ovals, and plan to add to it alongthe way. Except I have misplaced my blades, which is very annoying cos I am sure I put them in a safe place LOL. Doesn't matter I am borrowing mum's till mine appear. I think Jessica picked up the box they were in so I put it out of her reach, where though?
Any psychics out there know where I put them LOL?
Cheers Michelle
