Scrapbooking Selfies - November Scrapbooking Global Stampin' Up! Blog Hop


Welcome to this months hop - It's my month to pick the theme and knowing how many photos I have that fit the title Selfie that's what I have gone with. With 13 people joining us on the hop this month I am am looking forward to seeing their pages.



A bit of a back story - We took about 6000 photos between us that were decent enough not to get deleted at the time on our trip to Hawaii in 2017. I have not scrapped many - actually I have barely scratched the surface of even sorting them! So many are selfies we had new phones that took decent photos and made the most of it. I also love the function on the iPhone that pops all selfies into their own album making sorting way easy!


A Selfie page - well it needed a camera and although I know I used the same set (Capture the Good) when I did this page back in September for our Boys Page I needed to use it again. I also pulled out the journaling pen to ensure I popped some of my notes from the day onto my page. First time in a helicopter for 4 of us - Lorri and Tony have been up in them before - so there was heaps of photos taken with I'd say about 80% of the ones with us in them being selfies.

"Selfie" typically refers to self-portrait photos taken with the camera held at arm's length, as opposed to those taken by using a self-timer or remote. A selfie, however, may include multiple subjects. As long as the photo is being taken by one of the subjects featured, it is considered a selfie.

So on that note I will encourage you to hop on over to Cynthia's page and see her "Selfie" page - 10 photos on my page and I am in 9 of them not bad - wonder if anyone else has a similar number.




Aside of photos these are my main supplies -

Stampin' Up! New Paper Trimmer - available now!


Let's just say after a month using it - I love the new trimmer!

Item: 152392 | $44.00 aud/$53.00 nzd

  • measures 39 x 20.3 x 1.3 cm (15–3/8″ x 8-1/2″)
  • includes 1 cutting and 1 scoring blade
  • includes imperial and metric (inches and mm) measurements
  • Ruler and grid are protected by a durable plastic cover
  • Point on cutting handle for precise measuring 
  • Right-side grid for cutting thin strips
  • 9 rubber grip feet for stability and non-slip instead of 5
  • Longer extension arm goes to 43.5 cm (17-1/8″)
  • The extension arm does not need a “foot” to keep it steady when extended. 
  • The 6″ position on the rule mark has a little arrow pointing at the 6″ line so it is very clear where the measurement is.
  • The Extension arm - when in closed position allows paper to rest flush against it at the 6″ mark which is great for measuring smaller pieces. (one of the things I really love)
  • No cutting track to fall out or replace - yay!
  • The extension arm has no gap so any measurement is easy to see
  • The larger, wheel-shaped scoring blade creates a very fine score line that folds easily.
  • Easily cuts 2 – 3 sheets of cardstock or 3-4 pieces of DSP



* Just a note, there is a removable plastic protective film on the shiny white surfaces. This will begin to tear and scratch if you leave it on.
* TIP: When cutting, don’t press down too hard or you may create a bend at the edge of the paper. The blades are sharp and only need light pressure to cut really well!
