Scrappin and Stampin with Savitri

Here’s my digi, or printing in general, tip. Always leave an 1/8″ space around your image/layout you want to print. If not you’ll end up with a chopped off text (like the LO I did on the right). I forgot this rule when I printed mine through WHCC and guess what.. uh uh, I need to resubmit. URGH!!!! It’s been awhile since I printed anything. I have printed out any of my digi LO or printed any printed materials (brochures/flier) for work and just spaced it. I’m not sure if every printer is like this, I know whcc is (obviously) and my work’s (professional) printing dept. too. But just in case, don’t forget! I usually put a guideline around my LO before going at it but I just forget. So now there are a few LO that I need to go through, for example the baby thumbsucker one. I know the journaling is really close to the bottom of that page. Ok, digi video tomorrow. Stay tune!

So here are my all completed altered mailbox for M’s birthday. I don’t usually praise myself but aren’t they super cute? I love how the turned out. My first one was ok. I like it but I think the two color paper made the difference.

Info: Ribbons were remnents from different projects. The solid pink one is SU’s. The stamp set is Riveting and I used my floral punch, I think EK’s, and SU scallop. The paper is a package from K&Company bought 2 years ago.  If you go to my flickr site, you can see more pics. I love them!! I hope the girls will love their goodie box — if not — ahhh… children. Maybe their mommies will love them {::SMILES}.

Blog candy. I want to have one. So keep an eye out for it. I’ll have two giveaways… an either or since I have digi folks and paper crafters visiting. One will be a store credit to a digistore of choice and the other will be some craft goodies that I’ll be gathering. The occassion? Hmmm dunno.
