Chins & Scrapbooking

[mishellyshel]

Does anyone else here scrapbook?? I am an avid scrap booker and can NEVER find anything chinchilla related. Was wondering if anyone here had any success and if so where can I go to get the goods!!

I currently use general pet themed items and pet pawprints, but i would love paper, stickers, die cuts or any embellishments.

Scrapbooking queen here as well (and also in NJ), but unfortunately I haven't found anything either.

me three!!! lol but not in NJ ~

I also haven't seen any chin stuff.

I've never seen chin stuff either, there is a scrapbooking store near me and I always check when I stop in.

Have any of you scrapbookers seen these fancy things?!?! http://www.cricut.com/default.aspx?AspxAutoDetectCookieSupport=1 I want them! It looks like it would be pretty easy to take a chin graphic/image and have it cut out on any number of materials at any size. ::sigh:: I can dream. Sadly, that stuff is just not in the budget at the moment.

I'm not even a scrapbooker and I want one.

I wanted to make a scrapbook but couldn't find a decent base to start from, LOL...They dont have 'blank' ones over here, sigh....I've only done one for my confirmation when I was smaller.

I am a scrap-booker. I have some chinchilla stamps that I intend to make embellishments with at some point, when I have time LOL. I have the Cricut Expressions machine and I love it! So far I haven't come across any chinchillas to be cut out on it though :dance3:. Mae I would be happy to send you a scrapbook if you find one you like over here.

I have found several hedgehog scrapbooking items through Stampin Up and, but yet to have come across any chin stuff. Then again I wasn;t looking since I have just recently become obsessed with chins myself. I can email anybody a great basic template for a 6x6 album that can be made from I believe 8 12x12 pages in less than 3 hours. I use them as gifts all the time, and it would be a great place to start a pet album. I believe it has 20 pages in it.

My mum has a Cricut (she also has a sewing machine that can make embroidery patterns). I don't know if you can buy special software to download pics of chins or not, but I know her sewing machine has software that allows her to convert pics to patterns!

I have the cricut but havent seen anything chin related. I did have someone custom make me a dicut. I showed her a pic of my little guy & she combined a squirl, bunny, & rat. It came out cute, not perfect but good. I do have a chinchilla stamp that I use but i want MORE!!
Macygray--the easiest way to start if the supplies are limited is just get some 8.5 x 11 cardstock, page protectors from an office store & a three ring binder. At least you can put the pix on and write a nice story bout your chins. OR try ebay!!

Hmm....yeah...I was thinking for some reason that you could select a graphic of your own (I guess I didn't watch the informercial enough times :thumbsup. It still seems amazing though and I definitely would like to get one at some point, but probably not until we buy a house (the financial priority of the moment) and I can have a better space devoted to craft stuff.

I'd love to see pics of some of the stuff you've put together with it!

I could definitely make you some graphics you can print and cut out on your computer if you'd like. I've posted some on here before, but I can make silhouettes (solid/dotted), or edit your chins to be like neon blue or something with their name around them, I don't know how good of an example that is but I'll show you a few things and if you'd like something like that just PM me. These are things you could like print out as stickers.

or search chinchilla on etsy
here was a greeting card by a woman for $3.00

Try this stuff:

You print out a picture, put this stuff on it, and it shrinks down to the perfect scrapbook size!

 

[I<3MyChinnies]

What a great idea! I never thought about using shrinky dinks =)

 

[mishellyshel]

Thanks Annie!! What a awesome idea! I am working on a punch art/paper piecing based on this forums cute chinney. Once I get it right, I will post a pic and whoever wants one, I can mail them.
