Wow, it's been a long time since I've posted here. I've had a few other things going on so I haven't been in the craft room quite so much since my spending freeze finished, and any scrapbooking stuff has made it to Youtube but not here. <br />
I had enough positive comments about doing my 100 page spending freeze that I decided I wanted to share what I learned through a series I've created called "Scrapbook Spending Freeze 101". I have 3 lessons already loaded on Youtube, with probably another two to go.<br />
There's also <a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/2034640293489201/">a group to join on Facebook</a>, and it's for anyone contemplating a Spending Freeze, whether you're ready to start straight away or not, and don't worry, I'm not forcing you to do all 100 pages if that sounds too daunting!<br />
<br />
Here's episode one: <br />

This page tells the story of how I broke my foot at the start of this year!<br />
Not only is it the story of an accident, but it is a page on which a few accidents happened. We want all our pages (and process videos!) to be perfect, but that's just not real life, is it? I'm glad I persevered with this page - I'm happy with how it turned out, and mistakes are how we learn, right?<br />

Thanks for visiting, and let me know if a short series on doing a scrapbook spending freeze is something you'd be interested in watching?<br />

But I've grabbed my turn on the computer tonight to finally show you what I've been up to over the past couple of weeks, with pages using my last month's Counterfeit Kit and my Cocoa Vanilla "expand a collection" kit (with not much Cocoa Vanilla left!)<br />
<br />
Let's start with a challenge, shall we?<br />

Dolphins and whales are always wonderful to watch, but ridiculously difficult to photograph! On this dolphin cruise page I put a frame around the other dolphin watching boat and the little speck in the water that is a dolphin fin!</div>

A warning: the last page I am going to show you is about my son's infected toenail that he had a couple of years ago. Scrapping doesn't always have to be about the good stuff all the time, does it? But if you have a delicate stomach for such things, you might not want to scroll down to the end!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
But exciting news!! The pages I'm showing you bring me to 99 pages out of my 100 page spending freeze! As you can imagine there is much rejoicing in my craft room as I come to the end of this phase, (and much thinking about what I might buy in my first purchase). I think page 100 deserves a process video, don't you? Hopefully I'll be back with that in a couple of days.</div>

I have a drawer full of photos waiting to be scrapped and it is in a woeful state! I started this month by going through an envelope of photos and making up little page kits from my June Counterfeit Kit, mostly just paper and cardstock. I did pull some more supplies as needed - this doesn't bother me at all! I see a kit as a starting point and have no problem pulling out extra stash.<br />
<br />
This first page has a process video and is for<a href="http://scrapbookingtop50oz.blogspot.com.au/"> Scrapbooking Top 50'</a>s challenge for the month:<br />

If you didn't already know, I am on the current Design Team for the Crafty Maven Getaway Channel.<br />
My latest video is up, this time I am doing "Sketch It Out Thursday".<br />
<br />
I wanted to do a current sketch challenge, and ended up choosing this one from <a href="https://www.annascraftcupboard.com.au/blog/">Anna's Craft Cupboard</a>. . .<br />

For this page, I resurrected the method of using both sides of a sheet of patterned paper by cutting it a third of the way across, flipping one side and reattaching it, in this case by adhering a thickish offcut of cardstock at the back and a packaging strip on the front. Actually, that was one goal I think I did achieve this month, I think I used at least one packaging strip/thin strip of paper on every page!<br />

Finally, a fun page where I was reading "Winnie The Pooh" with our pet rabbit on my lap - we all need to be exposed to the classics, don't you think?<br />

Did you spot my DIY flair on some of those pages? I've recently uploaded a video to Youtube outlining my super-cheap and easy method, along with a couple of tips:<br />

<br />
Two of the pages above have process videos, also - if you want a laugh, I totally recommend the Bookweek one if you haven't already watched it - Maddy and Rohan do the voice-over for me and it's very funny!<br />

I look at all the different websites, compare the style, the amount of papers, embellishments, stamps etc, then do the maths: kit plus postage(mostly international) times conversion rate. The result is always the same - I simply cannot justify the price! I actually have a bit of an idea up my sleeve I want to try once my spending freeze is over, but in the meanwhile, I've got the <a href="http://counterfeitkitchallenge.blogspot.com.au/">Counterfeit Kit Challenge</a> to keep me distracted!<br />
<br />
Excellent timing, because who was in my top 2 kits this time around, but Felicity Jane! This month's inspiration is their May kit, "Willow":<br />

So pretty! How close can I get to making a similar kit? You can watch my process and find out:<br />

<br />
After doing 80 pages on a spending freeze, I was stoked with how great this kit pulled together! With any luck, this kit plus the odd other project will see me through to the last 20 pages of my spending freeze. I can't wait to start playing!<br />

From 18-25 June I will be eating the same rations as a Syrian refugee - just a small amount of rice, lentils, chick pease, sardines, oil and kidney beans. That's it - no meat, coffee or alcohol. (And between you and me the hardest bit of all that is the no coffee!!!)<br />
Sponsorship in this challenge will help provide urgently needed food rations, healthcare and education to Syrian refugees. If you are interested in donating, or just want to know a little bit more, please visit my sponsorship page:<br />

And now we return to regularly shecduled programming . . .<br />

After completing 18 school photos, production-line style (which you can read about in my previous post) I was ready for something a bit different! A challenge, perhaps?<br />

The limitation of school uniform colours (which for our family have included maroon-and-gold and currently includes forest green) and the sameness of the format, year after year, times three children. No wonder I'm so far behind!<br />
<br />
But on the flipside, when you get into the zone, catching up on a whole bunch of school photo pages at once is a great way to churn through a bunch of pages - in less than a week I've managed to make 18 pages towards my 100-page spending freeze goal!<br />
<br />

<br />
If you've never thought of doing a production line of pages, here's my process:<br />
<br />
<b>Step one: choose the photos you want to scrap, keeping to one theme. </b><br />
In my case, the theme is obviously school portraits, but you could apply the same process to many other themes, eg beach holidays, birthday parties, christmas etc.<br />
<br />
<b>Step two: Choose papers</b><br />
I pulled out school uniform colours and whites/neutrals. For layering I pulled my large scraps in these colours as well as yellow and red for contrast. <br />
(Optionally, you can focus on particular products you want to use up - I focussed on two paper pads I still had quite a few papers from)<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgtcZBZGngTithbPbLZD0xHxHNLNYSnWdIs2Z2toynPqudNKLhu_C8Mja7kZXimBhxP2XRV-LTrFyc85eB4VKNtvL9AzHx0qk4Pwq2vAdOILjlMn4C5QsT6RCkYPOdRVIn2iqLX5qFbxzJJ/s1600/IMG_0589%25281%2529.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1067" data-original-width="1600" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgtcZBZGngTithbPbLZD0xHxHNLNYSnWdIs2Z2toynPqudNKLhu_C8Mja7kZXimBhxP2XRV-LTrFyc85eB4VKNtvL9AzHx0qk4Pwq2vAdOILjlMn4C5QsT6RCkYPOdRVIn2iqLX5qFbxzJJ/s320/IMG_0589%25281%2529.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<b>Step three: Adhere papers and photos.</b><br />
(But don't put your papers away just yet!) <br />
<br />
<b>Step four: titles</b><br />
If you own a die-cutting machine or letter stamps, now is the time to use them! With repetitive titles like "Year 5" "Year 6" "Year 7", now is not the time to be wasting all those "a's" and "e's"!<br />
I picked out a largish offcut of cardstock that matched a page, chose some other pages that could use the same colour title, and went to work on my Silhouette. I simplified the process further by using the same font and text size. <br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgjxa6Wl77kiEu1fvknQh2rAiCv_irje2ZXr6QZk7OelW9_YfNn14CEdKBRj8ZjKgLm2lQXBj4lnCgaachgBYHMegkAjcc_sQa_nwCRBQHisBzsXhhPiaAEwBX18qhw94BFCwh2KnrR8fzG/s1600/IMG_0612.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="951" data-original-width="1425" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgjxa6Wl77kiEu1fvknQh2rAiCv_irje2ZXr6QZk7OelW9_YfNn14CEdKBRj8ZjKgLm2lQXBj4lnCgaachgBYHMegkAjcc_sQa_nwCRBQHisBzsXhhPiaAEwBX18qhw94BFCwh2KnrR8fzG/s320/IMG_0612.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<b>Step five: embellishing. </b><br />
Again, rather than go through every embellishment in your stash, pick a small selection that works with your theme. I chose a set of largish wood veneers and my fake enamel dots. I also used washi tape, the branding strips from the papers I had used and also cut a few circles from my left-over papers to give my embellishments somewhere to sit.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7G37EKkw3_SRXjZ4I2py_yUheKVvXbx8FDoxzca37cvRTy2DMQNh_SJUUTUG7JjXvKq2MhbA7i7Ix65ShENA1BIgkWxd89jos376ds6HejodL32TbeO5VAPgoEySavrIwHv7q9Pd0QccD/s1600/IMG_0613%25281%2529.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1069" data-original-width="1600" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7G37EKkw3_SRXjZ4I2py_yUheKVvXbx8FDoxzca37cvRTy2DMQNh_SJUUTUG7JjXvKq2MhbA7i7Ix65ShENA1BIgkWxd89jos376ds6HejodL32TbeO5VAPgoEySavrIwHv7q9Pd0QccD/s320/IMG_0613%25281%2529.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<b>Step five: Journaling and finishing touches</b><br />
I don't journal a lot (or sometimes at all) on school portrait pages, so this step is easy. Finishing off meant splattering and trimming off the bits that hung off the edges. But of course you have full permission to go back and pull more bits from your stash. I was doing a couple of soccer portrait pages at the same time, and I went back and made fake flair for those pages. <b> </b><br />

Have you ever tried production-line scrapbooking? Whatever your preference, I hope you find some crafty time this weekend!<b> </b> <br />

In real life, it's been a lot busier! We had a week away in Melbourne, plus visiting relatives on the way. I'd barely recovered from that before I had a couple of weeks full time work, with a birthday party in the middle and a Eurovision party this weekend just gone. Of course I got a pretty bad head cold in the middle there, but soldiered on! I managed to get Rohan and Maddy to voice-over a video for me which I haven't yet shared here. If you haven't yet watched it yet, you should - it's absolutely HILARIOUS!!! (at least I hope you'll think so, I sometimes wonder how the Australian sense of humour translates to the northern hemisphere)<br />

For my first video I chose to do "Stash It Monday", where, you guessed it, you make a page from products deep within your stash. Actually, there are no rules about how deep within your stash you have to go, but boy, I dived in deep! Coloured brads, knitting wool and DIY flair from a counterfeit kit that would have easily been 2 years old! Basic Grey monograms that were a freebie when a store was <strike>getting rid of </strike>sharing some older stock with purchases. None of those papers were exactly purchased yesterday either! </div>

This was also perfect for the <a href="http://scrap-challenge-yourself.blogspot.com.au/2017/04/challenge-yourself-40-inspire.html">Challenge YOUrself</a> topic this month, to scrap about something that inspires you. It was only after I'd taken the photos that I remembered to add the journalling, so here's a quick pic of that here:<br />

My second page is the subject of the process video itself. It was inspired, as is happening more and more these days, when I was watching others scrapping on Youtube. In this case it was <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DT1X2I3Z6_M">froggie251</a> on the Crafty Maven channel, using a rather fabulous moodboard:<br />

Although the pastel colours in this piece are really rather lovely, what really caught my eye was those clouds and the cute coloured raindrops. I immediately started thinking about doing a layout about weather. In fact I was so excited I made a page without the actual photo that will go in my album - I've used another from the same day in the interim.<br />

It occurred to me that I haven't mentioned my foot since just before my last x-ray. Good news although not the best: my foot is "healing" which means I don't have to wear the boot any more but have to be careful for quite a while, as apparently this type of fracture is "notorious" for re-breaking. Turns out being in a CAM boot for 12 weeks means your foot forgets how to walk properly, so I'll be hobbling around slowly for a few weeks to come.<br />
<br />
<b>March Counterfeit Kit</b><br />
Well this kit was huge, and although I never expected to "kill" it thoroughly, I ended up with only 2 full sheets of paper out of 25 or so, so I'm pretty happy with that! Here's the last pages I made:<br />
<br />
This first one started with me thinking that if I fussy-cut the flowers out of this particular sheet of paper, I would be more likely to use it, followed by the realisation that the B-side of that same paper matched my shirt in this photo from our auction day:<br /><br />

In the video I show what I have left from the kit and mention my hope to make 2 or 3 more pages before finishing with the kit (including that one).<br />

I knew I'd be annoyed if I didn't use this pink Basic Grey paper so I used it on this page about when Maddy and I went to see the musical, Wicked. I'd been really enjoying using the mistable butterflies (not that I've misted them yet!) and wished I could make them match the glitter thickers a bit more . . . which sent sent me on a hunt for what is possibly my oldest remaining papercrafting supply - my clear KindyGlitz! It needed a good shake and the nozzle is a little more prone to blockages, but it worked great!<br />
<br />

<br />
It also gave me the inspiration to "KindyGlitz" up my <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cd8VZgV6f2E">DIY dimensional dots!</a><br />
<br />
This next page would have been almost entirely from the kit, with a polka-dot background paper, until I came across the rocket paper as I was preparing my April kit. <br />

<br />
It's a page about our church's space-themed Kids Club I helped at last year. I mean, how often does a girl have a reason to make a space-themed page after all!? (I'll do the title next time I get my Silhouette out)<br />
<br />
So then I still had a polka-dot paper with a bit of work done on the bottom, as well as the other dotted paper I had gutted the middle out of. I didn't want to put that back in my stash as I was worried about damaging it, so I finished off with these two back to school pages:<br />

I was scrapping with (Youtube) friends again, and the black stripes in the background of this one were inspired by a video I was watching by Hannah Lemieux - you can watch it <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eOEYun-Nq8c">here</a>.<br />I really love the look of it, but I think I'll have to do it again on a one-photo page so you get more of the effect!<br />
<br />
<b>Spending Freeze Update</b><br />
Last but not least, I've made it to half way through my 100 page spending freeze!!!! That last page was number 51!<br />
<br />
Thanks so much for stopping by, why not take the time to leave a comment and tell me what crafty goodness<i> you're</i> getting up to lately! <br />

It's the February kit from Cocoa Daisy! I wasn't sure if I would play along this month, but that was before I say this kit. The bright colours and whimsical details are perfect for so many pages.<br />

I dug into my stash looking (not very hopefully, I might add!) for a paper that might match my dress. The night skyline paper gave me the inspiration for how to take this page. It's kind of an inside joke, really. Number one, Newcastle really doesn't have a city skyline quite like that. Number two, we got dressed up for our anniversary dinner before we decided where we were eating, and ended up at a very casual (but still very nice!!) pub on the foreshore. Number three, being daylight savings, and us being the early to bed types, it was barely dark by the time we got home!<br />

Thanks for stopping by, I hope you're finding time to challenge yourself too!Julie Hhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16966761700832649554noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8186427919656446750.post-41481891081616418082017-03-18T15:37:00.000+11:002017-03-18T15:37:05.816+11:00More Counterfeit Kit pages - with a bit of help from a couple of friends.So you might or might not know that I fractured a bone in my foot at the start of the year. After 11 weeks of hobbling around in a CAM boot, I'm very much looking forward to having another X-ray in a few days and (God willing!) being able to Get. Out. Of. That. Boot.<br />
Unfortunately it's not guaranteed, and it could be that I spend many more weeks in the boot and ultimately even get it pinned, but I see no reason not to hope for the best at this stage. <br />
Knowing that my life might get back to normal soon (in terms of housework, exercise, paid work, etc etc) I'm aware that my time in the craft room might soon cut back. So I'm trying to get as many pages done for my spending freeze goal as possible.<br />
<br />
Here's what I've done in the last few days . . .<br />
<br />

Then I decided I needed a bit of inspiration, when I was struck by this lovely sketch at <a href="http://thememorynest.blogspot.com.au/2017/03/make-it-monday-no-83.html">The Memory Nest.</a></div>

Heard of "Christmas in July?" Although come to think of it, those of you in the Northern Hemisphere might not be aware of it's existence as a "thing" - it was created so we southerners could truly appreciate all the cold-weather Christmas trimmings like baked dinners and eggnog without doing it in the middle of a sweltering summer. <br />
Anyway, our kids and their friends wanted to twist it a bit - they had enjoyed an Easter joke-making session so much they wanted to repeat it - hence Easter in September!<br />

The most common way I scrapbook multiple photos these days is to make a traditional page hero-ing one or two photos, and place the rest in a pocketed page protector.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

In this case I ended up using both sides of the page-protector and making two "traditional" pages.<br />
<br />

<br />
I was scrapping with my good buddy Glitter Girl while making this second "traditional" page (by which of course I mean that I had Youtube running in the background), and she was scrapping with a stamp. So of course I spent much too long looking for a dress-form stamp I thought I owned, before coming to the conclusion that I had borrowed it from a friend. So I used a different stamp and cut a dress-form on my Silhouette. Anyway I'm very grateful to my Superhero friend for her timely inspiration!<br />

<br />
Because of course I was working on a Circus layout, and knew I had some circus stamps as well. I was too far along in the process to include a clown stamp, but I used the big ball stamp in both my background and my cluster. Happy days!<br />

Phew! Thanks for visiting.

Lately I've been considering parts of my kit as the "challenge" items. Last month it was those lilac papers and die-cuts. This month, I'm aiming to use, as a minimum, all the "main kit" papers - those directly inspired by the Hip Kit Club papers, and a large floral Kaisercraft sticker that doesn't appear in the video or any of the kit photos, but does appear on the page below! Hooray!<br />

As well as the 6 pages I've already posted here, I made a double-page school photos spread plus 8 cards . . . <br />

I decided I wanted to make one final page utilising the purple before de-kitting, so I dug back though my photos . . .<br />
<br />
It turns out that when my friend got married back in 2009, she'd thoughtfully used some of my kit colours in her wedding!<br />

<br />
This page is accompanied by a pocket page, containing 5 photos from the day and a journaling card, made using matching supplies.<br />
<br />
<h3>
100 page spending freeze update</h3>
For the purpose of my spending freeze, I decided that 2 cards is equal to one page. I have now made 27 pages towards my goal of 100. Quite a respectable number, but at this rate, it looks like being 8 months before I'll be spending any money. I know that my supplies will hold out that long, I just hope my self-control does!<br />
<br />
Thanks for stopping by, I'm off to work on my Counterfeit Kit for this month, and another round of scrapping!<br />

The map paper I had included in the kit was screaming to be made into a page about my eldest son, and his travel plans, post-HSC . . .<br />

In other kit-related news, I've improved my method of storing my home-made kits. For quite a while now I've been looking longingly at the Iris boxes that some of the American girls own, but with the exchange rate and postage to Australia, the cost would have been astronomical. In the end I had another "<a href="http://spendlesscraftmore.blogspot.com.au/2012/10/mini-recipe-book-holder-from-cereal-box.html">are you a papercrafter or what</a>" moment. Check out my video to see what I've done . . .<br />

Challenge No. 1 at the <a href="http://counterfeitkitchallenge.blogspot.com.au/">Counterfeit Kit Challenge</a> is to scrapbook about something you love.<br />
<br />
That's pretty much what we do everyday, isn't it? I chose to make two pages about my daughter and her friends. I love how she has maintained friendships with her besties from the two different primary schools she attended, even though she doesn't go to high school with them. And something that they have in common is their love of all things doggy!<br />

To make the messy mat on this page, I took two identical sheets of 6" paper and cut a large square out of the corner out each of them. I then layered all pieces under the two photos. Too easy! </div>

I hope you find time to scrapbook about something you love this weekend!Julie Hhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16966761700832649554noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8186427919656446750.post-47857275324179824842017-02-13T12:37:00.001+11:002017-02-13T12:37:58.394+11:00February Counterfeit Kit - first two pages.So my February kit "Lilac Dreams" has been a bit challenging to get started. How did purple, and all it's shades, go from a colour I used to love so much (and still do, to be honest) to a colour I find so hard to use!?!<br />
<br />
My first tip, to both myself and to you, is my old stand-by . . . when you're scrapping with older supplies, use older photos! So here we go with my first two pages, created with photos from 2010 and the help of two different sketch challenges:<br />
<br />
First up, it's the challenge at <a href="http://scrapbookingtop50oz.blogspot.com.au/">Scrapbooking Top 50 Australia</a>:<br />

I'm loving playing with what I think of as "beginner mixed media" - smooshing on my gelatos, a bit of stamping and flicking a bit of mist around. I was so pleased to find the stamp with the lady holding up her skirt and dancing - she deserved to be brought forward on the page! <br />

This next page uses a sketch from <a href="http://stucksketches.blogspot.com.au/">Stuck?!</a> <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://scontent-ort2-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/14572795_10153772050611039_2067336595175906226_n.jpg?oh=61bda1f8864698763ae1d2a8abe3facb&oe=590266A9" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://scontent-ort2-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/14572795_10153772050611039_2067336595175906226_n.jpg?oh=61bda1f8864698763ae1d2a8abe3facb&oe=590266A9" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
<br />
I used this sketch a bit less literally. I took the row of three photos with the large element behind and rotated it 90 degrees . . . <br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Then I added a scattering of elements in a diagonal line, to support my story. <br />

Now, I have scrapped these photos before, in traditional "autumn colours" and while I wouldn't say I was unhappy with the finished result, the pages stick out in my albums as they aren't colours I ever use. What I did do, though, was sneak in a hint of "winter colours" through the use of white glitter thickers, sequins and diamontes.<br />

I'm once again using my Cocoa Vanilla "Free Spirit" expanded kit with photos from the shoot taken at my parent's 50th Wedding Anniversary. The only things on this page from the original Cocoa Vanilla collection are the journalling box from the cut-apart sheet and some of the die-cuts. I love how the background sheet brightens up the page.<br />

My kit came together really quickly this month, because the lilac and yellow, and the floral accents reminded me of a 6" pad I own, and still have quite a bit left. I'm calling this kit "Lilac dreams"<br />
<br />
Here's a video I made talking about how the kit came together:<br />

The journaling for this page will tell the story about how our friends offered to look after Tibbets (our rabbit) for us while we were away. Their youngest was very shy and wouldn't talk to us at all . . . and then unexpectedly fell asleep on the floor in the middle of the action!<br />
