Matching Card and Envelope

I have a wonderful friend, Rachel. She is one of those people who really appreciates beautiful cards.For her birthday this year I made a pretty card with a matching envelope. This set is made with some cute Dear Lizzy stickers, a Basic Grey Hopscotch collection glazed brad, and 7 Gypsies (I think) paper.

I thought I would show you what how it turned out to wet your appetite, cause I’m going to do a little tutorial on how to make a set for YOUR friends soon!

Thanks for visiting my site again! keep checking back for more updates!

Online Photo Printing

Of course they don’t PRINT online (that would be… impossible), but you upload them online and then they print out at your closest Big W store! Have you tried it?

BigWphotos.com.au is brilliant! I’m getting photos from out holiday (Israel, Jordan, Egypt, Switzerland, Hong Kong), printed and it is SO easy! Do you know what the best thing is?! You don’t even have to upload them! You can just take photos of facebook and flickr where you’ve already got them! How crazy cool is that? It makes it SO easy, because I’ve already spent heaps of time choosing out key photos to go on my facebook, and now I can easily select them!

Rachel gave me some beautiful papers and die cuts for my birthday. They probably won’t be used on these travel pages, but in my person scrabook- definitely!

I’m choose a few less photos, but it will still be HEAPS! I’ve noticed that the fashion with scrapbooking lately is to use whole photos, and to only have a few on the page. I’m not sure how I’ll go with this, cause my scrapbooking ‘training’ was back in the day, and we cut our photos up into shapes and what not, and did a whole lotta cropping! We’d be putting several photos onto the page! Evidence below (take into consideration that I did these when I was like 12…):
