Nice pages Deb
Did you make the flowers from paper punches? I love to fiddle around making those little things and making up colour combinations. I love the quilling to, I've never done that.
I have all our wedding cards, our engagement cards, even the acceptances and bridal shower cards, did you have a trip down memory lane when you reread the cards to scrap them? I did it was great.
Our digital camera went kaput and had to be returned, it turns out that model all had problems and they will replace with another model.
I hope you all enjoy your weekend

Thanks Bilby!!

Most of my flowers and embelishments were bought premade. The odd time when I can not find the right color or match i will make my own. I have a sizzix cutting system and lots of paper punches to use for that. I love trying to find the perfect match . Thank goodness for e-bay as i get most of my stickers and embelishments there for alot cheaper than I could ever get at the stores here. They charge 7 to 9 dollars for them and on e-bay even with shipping I have found them for 1 .50 . When I do I buy a bunch so I have them.

Hugs Debbie

Now that I am into scrapbooking, I will have to check for supplies on e-bay. Thanks for that hint Debbie.

I may be getting a digital camera for Mother's Day. If I do, I'll learn how to use it and take pictures of the pages I make and then post them, if I can figure out how to do that. LOL

It is so easy to put pics on the computer from a digital. I have a docking station for mine(where it recharges) I place it on press connect and it down loads all my pictures and then brings them up on my edit program, from there I resize them and rename to place online. So easy!!!!

E-bay is great for supplies I have certain sellers that I stick with and they will have sale items so when they do I purchase enough to make it worth my while. That way shipping is cheaper too .Takes awhile to poke around but forme it has been worth it. I got my sizzix alphabet for 60dollars with shipping and here they are 200 dollars in the store!!! Much better value for my dollar!!!


Hugs Debbie

I've just priced a sizzex machine and it's $240 + alphabet + number + any shapes you want I drooled I dreamed and I went away empty handed LOL. ebay here still added up to a fair bit. If I visit the US that is on my list to buy.
I think as they are made your way we have all the import duties etc!

Do you have any paper punch books that you use for ideas. I have 2 but they may be Aust ones.

Bilby I got my sizzix machine 1/2 price at Michaels and I have been fortunate that for Christmas and my birthday family members bought me a great selection of dies. I have bought some off e-bay. Wish I could have more!! I do not have any books on paper punches but I have 8 books on scrapbooking in general.

I scrapped Friday night and some today. Working on my photos from the cher concert.

This is my title page, used my ticket and the poster for the concert. It is hard in the photo to see my writing and sorry for the flash in my photos.
