My First Imaginisce Challenge

This is my first attempt at the Imaginisce Monthly Challenge.
Products used are:
3 Imaginisce papers: Little Cutie- Snips & Snails, Little Man & Baby Powder- Bouncing baby Boy
3 types of embelishments: I-Rock Rhinestuds Silver and Blue, I-Top 22mm brad created from Bouncing Baby Boy paper & Ribbon- Generic blue satin.
Only non Imaginisce products were the Bazzill Card stock and ribbon.
I have used a 7x5" photo on the layout and have cut the star, teddy, wagon and title from the little man paper, hand drew the tabs on the side of the photo matt and cut out. I also created a rosette from the Tim Holtz rosette die using the Baby powder paper and drew some stiching around the edges of the base page.
I decided not to vear away from the scetch too much as it my first challenge with Imaginisce.
Not too bad for my first attempt and i didnt have a lot of imaginisce products to work with as there are not to many suppliers here in Australia that i have found.

Well its been a few days since my last post so i thought i had a few minutes spare so im getting to number 3. Tip 3. I have had some trouble with my mists blocking up and not spraying and i have decided to use a separate nozzle to spray all my mists with and just wash out after each use. So this is my tip, buy a spare spray nozzle to use on your mists and clean it out between each use so that it doent have a chance to block up!! Happy Misting. :)

Tip 2

Well technically this is 2 tips in one!!!
One of the photo worlds worst enemies is the finger print!! Part one of the tip is: to reduce the effect of finger prints print out all your photos on matte paper this way the finger prints don't show up in general handling conditions BUT if you prefer to print on gloss paper, second part of the tip: always have a new (one that has never been used) glasses cleaning cloth handy and use it just for cleaning photos. This works a treat!! If you try and use a used cloth you will end up with smudges from the oils and dirt that accumulates on a used cloth and no matter how much you clean it, it will never clean as good as a new cloth.
Mwuhahaha to finger prints!!! :D Happy Crafting!!

Day 2 and My First Tip.

Well its day 2 of my blog and i think i am finally happy with the placement of all the titles!!

Time to get some tips for you all to read!! I know its one you have all heard before but in my book its the most important rule of scrapbooking. TIP 1. Measure twice cut once!!! Too many of us get caught up in the moment and before we know it we have cut the piece too small!!! Agrh and unfortunately we cant cut it bigger. So please always try to remember to double check your measurements before you cut!!!!
