I have no excuses for my lack of blogging except that I have been very slack. I had even considered closing this blog but it seems that I do have people that do look (and keep reminding me that it has been a long time since I updated) So if you have been lurking please leave a comment so that I know you have been.

So much has happened in the way of family life. Maddy has started at High school & is loving it. Brocky has gone into year 5 & is growing up way too fast!

I won't bore you with any more dribble. I will just leave you with a few pages that I have created lately -

Pages and Family FUN!

2009-09-21T17:43:00.012+10:00

Here's a page that I created for the SCRAPSIDAISY Monthly challenge. The theme was wedding. The criteria was to use Something old, Something New, Something Borrowed & something blue.

And a couple of pages from last weekend-

The following are a couple of classes that I am currently teaching at Scrapsidaisy. The first is a Christmas themed 12"x12" Family Canvas.

PEACE Christmas book.

If you are interested in taking either of these classes give the shop a call om 65535307 & we will let you the times and all the details.

On the family front. My daughter played in the under 13's hockey grand final on the weekend. They went into the game as the underdogs as the team that they played were undefeated all season. The game was so stressful & majorly exciting at the same time...lol! It was a 1 all draw at full time so they then went into 5 minutes each way sudden death - golden point. Our girls were the victorious ones that came away with the winning goal. WOOOHOOOO - way to go Sharks!!!!!! They had the most amazing coach - They just LOVE YA Trish!!!!!!!

Here is a pic of the girls very proudly showing off their medalions-

Last weekend we had a fishing outing off a local bridge & Brock was so excited to catch a huuuuge Bream -

And Maddy caught a huge flathead-

I caught nothing! I also realised that I don't have the patience to fish any more...lol. It was fun to watch the kids excitement when they caught theirs though.

Thanks to those that still visit. I hope you have a safe & enjoyable week!

Hi There

I have been scrapping up a storm over the holiday break. I guess a new camera & then new pic's are a pretty good inspiration. Not to mention yummy new products as well.

Anyhow the first 3 pages that I created were with the new Basic Grey Bittersweet range-

Then the others were just out of my stash because the inspiration was flowing-

Pressies......

2008-12-28T16:14:00.006+11:00

I have attempted to post a new post on here several times now but for some reason Blooger wouldn't let me. Today however it is being a bit more friendly.

There has been so much happening BUT I won't bore you all with the pre-christmas stuff. I have so much to share.

I was a really good girl this year & created heaps of pressies for family & friends. Here are a few pics of some of the pressies that I gave away-

These are a few of the collections of gifts that I gave away. I was really pleased with how they turned out.

Thanks to everyone that still stops by my blog/ I cherish every single comment & would like to wish you a belated merry Christmas & A Happy new Year.

The Perm

2008-10-25T13:39:00.003+11:00

The lovely Kim Archer has had a call out for everyone to share their "Perm" pics so I have one for you all to laugh at today.

This pic was taken in 1989 (when I was a wee bit younger....LOL) & as I only ever had short hair, when I was in my teens, I had root perms. They would wrap cling wrap around the ends of my hair so that the solution only permed the roots. gotta love that hey....lol

So I dare anyone that reads this to share one of themselves. That way we can all look silly together.....lol

any how I am off to visit a friend for a BBQ & I hope that you all have a fab weekend. I will be back real soon to share a couple of pages that I have created of late.
Thanks for visiting

Firstly I will share Challenge 18 from Scrapsidaisy Forum

Courtesy of www.pagemaps.com

My take-

And then I was totally addicted to the new papers from "Black Market Paper Society" I found them truly inspiring!! I then went on to create these-

I am so behind on blogging!! These pages are a couple of weeks old now! I have a pile here ready to take pics of to share so I will do that tomorrow & share another post really soon! That is if the injured Hubby & holidaying kiddies are not too demanding....LOL

I hope that you are safe & well & enjoying this amazing weather wherever you may be.

Its Spring....yay!!!!

2008-09-01T21:06:00.003+10:00

Hi there

Well what a glorious first day of spring we have had today! The weather was just divine. I hope that wherever you are that you are having lovely weather too.

I have spent the last week( with the help of D.H) repainting my loungeroom. WOW I am so impressed with the finished result! I feel like a TV makeover show has been in there. Now I just need to do the rest of the house....LOL

On scrapping news.

Copycatcards is back up & running after a little break. You should see the fab entries that have been submitted so far. The girls have certainly pulled out some clever techniques. Go check it out & have a go. They are looking for a few more members for the D.T too.

A couple of weeks ago my Sister started scrapping. It has been so much fun to see her start a craft that I know that she will LOVE! She loves the group of girls that she has started with at SCRAPSIDAISY & she has also been coming around to my house on a Saturday evening to scrap. We create together & share many laughs along the way. Hi Gail ( I know she lurks on here).

Scrapsidaisy Forum has a new challenge running atm. It is a fun way to get inspired & amazing to look at all the different versions that the girls come up with. Have you checked it out? if not why not? its simple to register & a lovely, friendly group of girls will make you feel most welcome.

Anyhow I will leave you with a few pages that I created while my sister was over on Saturday night-

Have great week :-]

ENJOY

2008-08-27T22:24:00.004+10:00

Two posts in one week is pretty amazing for me!

I just realised that I have a few more pics to share.

This page of D.D I created using the new Basic Grey Euphoria. It is a delish paper range. I also made use of my new Fiskars threading water punch.

Another project using the Kaiser Skull Girl range.

I will take some pics tomorrow in the daylight & maybe even upload again this week...lol
I hope everyone is having a great week.

Enjoy

MONDAY AGAIN...........

2008-08-25T10:53:00.007+10:00

HI There,

Just a few pages to share today. I must get off here & finish tidying the house. I have a man coming this morning to clean my carpets & then this afternoon I am having my new lounge suite delivered.HOW EXCITING!!!!!!!!Got myself a bargain the other day that was too good to resist! Its chocolate brown & leather....woooohoooo.

SO to prepare for all this we pulled the house apart on the weekend! I moved furniture & basically trashed the whole house in the process! I am just waiting, waiting now for the carpet man & then it will be all systems go, go, go!

Anywho here are a few pages that I have created lately

Thanks for looking & have a great week

ENJOY

Another week goooone.........

2008-08-18T10:10:00.007+10:00

Is it just me is is this year just flying by?
I hope that everyone is enjoying this lovely weather that we are having atm. The days are lovely & sunny while the nights are really cold & fantastic cuddling weather...lol.

I have been scrapping up a storm lately (just been really slack at blogging) & I have finally got around to taking some pics to share.

My D.D is having a make over done in her room so I have been creating a few items to have together on a cabinet that she has in there. This first one is a Kaiser clock using the new "Skull Girl" paper range. I have used this paper range for all of the projects. She loves them all. I will share the rest when I get a pic of them.

I have also decorated a Kaiser frame for myself with the two rugrats on it-

I also created this little Arrow Book of D.S from Kaiser-

I have heaps of pages to share BUT I will save them for another post.

Enjoy the week & keep safe

Hugs

EXCITEMENT PLUS!!!!!!!!!!!

2008-08-04T10:51:00.005+10:00

I have been giving my CRICUT a run for its money lately. I have created heaps of pages where I use it for the titles & embellishments.

Back to School

2008-07-22T09:13:00.008+10:00

I hope everyone has been enjoying this beautiful weather that we have been having. It sure has been a nice way to spend the end of the school holidays. The kids went back to school this morning & boy did I find it difficult to get out of bed early. The kids were so excited to be going back too.

Anyway I won't ramble on too much as I have a load of housework that I should be doing. I just wanted to do a quick post to say hello & to share a few pages that I created over the weekend.

I have also been having BIG Drama's with my internet so if I haven't popped by to say hello I promise I will soon.

Here are my latest creations-

Check out the new Bella alphas. They are so yummy. I had to use them straight away...LOL. The papers that I used are Kaiser papers & they are divine too.

I had fun with my Cricut again.

I told you I liked the alpas..lol.....I had to use them again.

Have great week & I will catch you all real soon.

The Kids are still on school holidays at the moment & boy am I enjoying the sleep ins. I have even managed a few early nights this week. The kiddies have been super well behaved, which helps & we have been keeping super busy. The weather has been lovely too so that is always a bonus.
I will share my pages from the weekend. I even managed to create a canvas for on of my Great Nieces 1st birthday. I created it in less then an hour so I am pretty happy with how it turned out!

I am still a novice with my Cricut BUT over the weekend I managed to work out how to shadow my titles so I am EXCITED!!!

This layout is DAISY the Dairy cow. A few posts back I mentioned Daisy was the new cow that my Kiddies named after the ever so lovely Scrapsidaisy...LOL...so of course I had to scrap a layout about her....he he he.

My Daughter took this pic of me on the camera that she got for Christmas & I guess that is how they see me. Aren't the Dream street papers yummo!

This pic of Brock is a laugh! The papers are Kaiser & they are lush as well!

Today I celebrated my Birthday & boy ohhh boy do I feel loved!

I am such a lucky girl to have so many caring Friends & such loving family. I, to say the least, have been extremely spoilt!

My day started off with a surprise party at work with Leisa secretly organising for all the girls to surprise me as I arrived for work. Thank YOU from the bottom of my heart girls for making my day soooo special.All day I had friends call in to wish me a happy Birthday & then When I left work I came home to my family to a lovely baked dinner, a box of chocolates & a bunch of red roses & all this was on top of my pressies this morning before work. My kiddies gave me a new bag & wallet while my hubby got me a George Foreman Healthgrill. That is also on top of the cricut that I got a few weeks ago that the lovely Leisa upgraded to an expression for me. PLUS the girls this morning gave me lots of lovely goodies. Tonight I had lots of phone calls,pressies & visits from family & friends. SOOOO needless to say I am feeling Very, very LOVED!!!!!!!

I will share some pics of some of my pressies-

So again THANK you to everyone that made my day soooooo special. You truly are amazing & know how to make a "young" girl feel special

2008-07-07T22:34:00.004+10:00

Time flies when you are havin FUN!

Saturday we held a Christmas in July @ Scrapsidaisy & wowsers we had a fun time.

The girls were so creative. Their pages were amazing! It gave me so much inspiration ( I have been lacking of late!) I came home ready to go....here is a bit of what I did-

Firstly I created this canvas for my sisters birthday. This is a pic of my great niece, Liliana, isn't she adorable! I used the new My Minds Eye 29th Street Market paper range, Bella chip, MM lace,flowers & buttons & my Cricut to cut out the title. (I am so loving my Cricut!)

The next page is with pic's of my D.D & another Great niece, Chloe. The papers & embellishments are M.M. I love the pics on this one.

I have created more but haven't taken pics as yet. I will share more when I get the pics done.

We are enjoying the school holidays here at the moment. The kiddies & I have been enjoying the beautiful weather. Today we went to visit Daddy at work. He has new cattle & we went to help him drench them...LOL...It was so much fun. While I was there I had to take a photo of "DAISY" the dairy cow. The kids named it last week...lol...I will share a pic-

isn't she cute!

these are some of my fave pics from the last few days.

Be sure to check out the Scrapsidaisy forum as in August we are having the ever so talented Kim Archer come for a visit. The day looks like it will be a huge one & numbers are limited & filling fast! The work that Kim does is amazing so if you are interested be sure to ring the shop real quick!

have a great week & thanks for stopping by

Enjoy

Weekend update!

2008-06-21T17:32:00.004+10:00

Hi all!

I hope everyone is enjoying this gorgeous weekend.

It sure is so noice to see the sun shining!

I have been super busy over the last couple of weeks so not a lot of scrapping has been done. We had a weekend in Sydney last weekend as my D.D had a specialist appt so we turned it into a mini holiday & took in all the sights & did all the tourist things...lol. We even went to the N.S.W Art Gallery. That is so not something I would have been interested in a couple of years ago. BUT hey I must be growing up...LOL...OR getting old more like it.

Enough of the rambling.

I will share my couple of pages that I have created. The first is a page that I created last night. I am so lucky! I purchased a Cricut machine from work at SCRAPSIDAISY & the lovely Leisa upgraded it to an Expression for me. So last week I got an early birthday pressie!! WoooHOOO.....I'm excited. Anyway with all the events of the last couple of weeks I really hadn't had the opportunity to have a decent play! Last night I pulled it out & set it up on its very own little table & away I went. I cut out all different arrows & alphas to create this-

I LOVE this pic of Brock....BUT the smile is not looking like that at the moment....Insert sad face!!! This arvo he accidently hit himself in the face with a tennis racket & broke off one of those gorgeous top teeth....another sad face......after many phone calls to Dr's & dentists it has now been decided that he doesn't NEED a dentist today & that it can wait until Monday morning & he will se a dentist to have it fixed.........:-( :-( :-( :-( :-(...lets just hope that it can be!!!!

This is a page that I did a couple of weeks ago. Using the yummy M.M Noteworthy range!

If you are still reading....THANKS...I hope you have a good one

ENJOY

Long weekend of rain........

2008-06-08T13:39:00.013+10:00

& SCRAPPING....LOL
I hope everyone is enjoying their long weekend. I certainly have been! I have been creating heaps because the weather has been pretty crappy! So what a perfect excuse to scrap...lol
Here is what I have done so far-

I have uploaded 2 challenges this week at the SCRAPSIDAISY FORUM for everyone to enjoy.
Here they are- Number 11 (I did 2 different takes on this map)

Number 12-

Maps are courtesy of www.pagemaps.com

Enjoy the rest of the weekend & thanks for stopping by

ENJOY

You know you are old when.......

2008-06-01T16:50:00.013+10:00

You are are "GREAT Aunty"....LOL. This is a pic of my gorgeous sister who became a Grandma yesterday for the first time. Can you see how proud she is? My nephew (Grandma's son) Chris & his partner, Carly, welcomed Liliana into the world yesterday afternoon. She is a little unwell but nothing too serious really & we are all busting to have cuddles. I am so happy for the family & excited for my Sister & brother in law. They will be the bestest grandparents.

Onto scrapping now- I have still had the mojo happening & have finished off a few pages over the weekend. Challenge 9 & 10 at SCRAPSIDAISY Forum & a couple of others. I will share with you now. I feel as if I am rambling on here....

This page of my D.D I created using 3 Bugs In A Rug (Luke & Lola) paper range, Die cuts, Bella blossom, Kaiser bling, Basic Grey stamps & my trusty black pen.

This page of "Me" I used the following goodies- Basic Grey "Sugared" papers & Element stickers, Maya Road chip letters, Dew Drop inks, Dimensional magic, Making Memories Edge distresser, Bella blossom & Cosmo Cricket rubon.

This is Challenge No.9 over at the Scrapsidaisy FORUM. Below is my attempt at the challenge.

I really enjoyed creting this page. I used heaps of Making Memories blossoms, buttons & felt. The other supplies were- Scenic Route "Grafton" p.p's, Deja Views wonderful words, Bella alphas, Hambly rubons & Black pen.

This is challenge NO.10- I got in a little earlier with this one. Below is my attempt as well.

I used Scenic Route p.p's (I know again!) Scenic Route stencil grid alphas, Basic Grey stamps & my fave of all time BLACK PEN....lol

If you are still reading THANK YOU! I am off to create another page & make a few cards to give to my new little "Great Niece"

Thanks for visiting & have a lovely week.

ENJOY

Challenge catchup

2008-05-20T08:54:00.009+10:00

Hi there,

I have created a few pages over the weekend that I thought that I would share-

The first is a challenge from the SCRAPSIDAISY Forum. It is challenge number 8-

(courtesy of http://www.pagemaps.com/)

This is my attempt at the challenge. I have used this years school photos of my D.D. It is so hard to believe that she is so big now. It seems like yesterday that she was starting school. Now she only has a year left & she will be in high school...........scary! I used the ever so YUMMY Dream Street papers. This range that I used is called Art Nouveau. Did I tell you it is YUMMO!!!!

The next page that I created was using the (JUST AS YUMMY) New Cupcake range from Basic Grey! It is this yrs school photo as well! I am amazed at how fast my D.S schooling is flying by as well!

A little brighter then my usual style BUT hey its great to be a little different sometimes.

Something else I have been working on this weekend is a Daisy Decor Mini hanging Album. I have been creating a calendar to display on the counter at work. It's not quite finished yet! but I thought that I would share it anyway!

That's about it for now.

Thanks to those that still visit!

Have a great week!

ENJOY

Hi there

I hope that all the Mums that read this had a fantadillyastic Mothers day!!!!! I certainly did! My hubby helped the kids out with brekkie and served it to me in bed. Then it was pressie time!!! BOY OH BOY did I get spoilt!!!!!! I hope that all you Mums did too. It is always a really hard day for me since I lost my own Mum 13 yrs ago. SO my Hubby & Kids tried so, so hard to make my day SUPER special & they sure did do that. PLUS a very special friend also bought me a lovely gift to make my day special rather then sad & she succeeded too....Thank you!!!!!!

I have been busy creating as well. I am loving all the new Basic Grey ranges atm. My fave would have to be the Archaic range. It is yummo...lol
I will share a few pages that I have created lately-

Brocks smile says it all. He was so proud!

Maddy's smile is just as big!!!!

I know, I know-I have to be the slackest blogger in history!

Have had a really busy couple of weeks. The kids have had their school holidays & are back at school. I have been super busy with family stuff & have created a few projects along the way.

I was a very lucky girl last week. My hubby & I went to test drive a car that we had our eye on & drove it away that very day. SO MUCH FOR JUST TEST DRIVING IT!!!!!!!!!I took some pics of it today so I will share one later.

I had another fun filled day yesterday at SRAPSIDAISY. We celebrated National Scrapbooking Day with a day filled with lovely ladies full of inspiration & some yummy cakes & slices were thrown in there too.

We Had a lovely Sunday drive today. We had to take the new car for a "Good" drive so we headed to a local beach for a picnic. Well it was so darn cold we almost ate it in the car. But we had a lovely day out with family so that is all that matters. Plus I had the chance to take a few new pic's to get me inspired.

I will share a few pages that I have created over the last few weeks.

The first is a challenge that I have been running over at the Scrapsidaisy Forum courtesy of www.pagemaps.com.

This is challenge Number 5-

I used Making Memories Animal crackers to create the challenge page, Basic Grey buttons & October Afternoon stamps.

Cosmo Cricket Honey Pie papers, Bazzill Wings Blossoms & Autumn Leaves stamps.

K & Co Berry Sweet papers, Basic Grey stamps & basic Grey buttons.

Lastly I have to send out A HUUUUGE thank you to Carol (aka Crazy for crafting). Carol sent me (via a local friend) a lovely, lovely RAK all the way from the U.S! She is so generous that it is amazing. I am honoured to say that she is a blogging friend! So again Carol Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! 7 you had better keep an eye on your mail box.......he he he

I hope everyone has a safe and fun filled week!

Lazy DAYS!!!!

2008-04-13T15:49:00.007+10:00

As the title says "Lazy Days" that's what I have had this weekend! It is the start of the school holidays this weekend & I love the fact that there is NO routine for the most of it. How scary is that! How fast has that first term of school gone! So much has happened in that term too & it has just whizzed by.
My kiddies both had a bestie stay over for the night last night! It was amazing. They were all so very well behaved. I took them all to the videoshop (Do I still call it that?) last night to pick out a few movies & then they entertained themselves for the evening. SO MUM SCRAPPED!!!!!!! I finished off a page that I scrap lifted from Two Peas BUT now that I am about to post it I went back to the site so that I can put a link to the original page & I can't find it! That will teach me.....as I don't ever scrap lift. BUT I had tiny little pieces of scraps left over from my beloved October Afternoon papers & I just HAD to use them SO this page is it-----

MY next page is a FAVE photo of my D.S. (I am sure that I have scrapped it before) BUT I thought that it worked perfectly with the BRAND SPANKIN NEW "Static" range from 'Crate'!

I love the range & can't wait to attack the rest of the papers that I picked up from SCRAPSIDAISY yesterday.

Lastly, I finally got around to doing my Challenge from the SCRAPSIDAISY Forum. This time when I chose the Map (with a little help from Kristy) I didn't do my page right away so here it is-

First challenge No4-

courtesy of Pagemaps-

and then my take on the map-

I used the "Scenic Route" 'Salem' paper range for this one & added a few Making Memories blossoms.

Well that's enough raving from me.

Be sure to enjoy your week.

Thanks for stopping by.

ENJOY

The MOJO was happening!

2008-04-07T11:09:00.001+10:00

The MOJO was happening! yipppeeeee!!!!! After spending the day at SCRAPSIDAISY on Saturday, for the GRAND opening in the BIG new store I came home ready to SCRAP!!!!. What a fantastic day we all had too!!!!!!!!! What a lovely bunch of ladies we had come along!
Here are the pages that I have done over the weekend!

As you can see! I am a tad addicted to October Afternoon papers atm. I even used up all my scraps. The sad part of that is that I don't have any left now!!!!! Is anyone else out there as obsessive with lubly papers as me?

This boy page of my D.S. (bit addicted to boy pages atm too!) is using the NEW Making Memories Animal Crackers range, They, too, are just divine! Kristy inspired me on Saturday with the title on this one!

I had a request for some Male themed cards at the Card making day SO these are what we did! They were made using (another FAVE) Cosmo Cricket p.p's.

Another class from the day were these MOTHER themed cards! The NEW Cuttlebug embossing folder (Floral Fantasy) was the main focal point on these two! Mothers Day is not really that far away!

That is all for now!

I will try & get back soon

Have a great week!

ENJOY

Mondayitis........

2008-03-31T09:51:00.008+11:00

Do you have it? I do!
I had a lovely weekend & didn't want it to end! Family are so important to me & I had mine around me over the weekend so I didn't really want to get back into the routine of school & housework today! So here I am sitting at my computer playing...lol....The housework can wait!

SCRAPSIDAISY has its grand opening this coming Saturday at its NEW store. It is so exciting to see everything coming together. It looks so good now that I can't wait to help fill the shop with all the yummy stock. I am so honoured to be a part of the next generation of Scrapsidaisy!

I have been doing a bit of creating lately. Some design work for the shop. But I have also created a few pages for myself as well. I am loving all the yummy papers & can't wait to have a play with some of the newest, Making Memories have really outdone themselves of late. The ranges that they have released have been totally awesome. They have been so nice that I am finding it hard to actually cut them up...lol...a paper obsession I know!

I will go now & get back to that dreaded housework & hopefully have a little time left over to create something!

Here are a few pages that I have created lately!

This page is of my gorgeous niece & nephew using the October Afternoon p.p's.

(That ball hurts when it hits too!)

I have been trying really hard to create BOY pages & these 2 I did using the Kaiser range of p.p.

This is my sample of the Aussiescrap Castle. The papers are Crate papers & they are divine!

Thanks for stopping by!

Enjoy your week!

Hi There
I have some exciting, exciting news for my local scrappers!
SCRAPSIDAISY is moving to a larger building!
We, friends of Daisy, have spent the weekend refreshing the new shop & plan to move premises over the next few weeks. (unsure of official date as yet!)
The new shop is in Wingham main street between the Vet & Solomon's!!! Are you feeling my excitement!! It is so exciting.The shop is HEAPS bigger & has a separate scrap area, kitchen & LOO (we all need one of those...lol) so our ever growing evening classes will have plenty of space.
As I have been busy with the preparations for the new shop I have not had much time to scrap but I know for sure that as soon as this is over that the creativity will start to FLY!!!!
I will leave you with a few pic's of a few classes that we have had or are having at SCRAPSIDAISY .

A Cousins Layout.

2008-03-03T20:52:00.008+11:00

I Finished a layout today using the LUBLY "Scenic Route" ''Laurel" patterned paper range. I made a pin wheel as an embellishment & played around with staples too. The photo is of my kiddies & two of their cousins at Christmas time.

Once I had finished my page I created a mini wooden concertina book. It was a pre made wooden Kaiser accordian frame. I used the SassaFrasLass Whimsy paper range. A couple of Prima flowers & Hiedi Swapp chipboard alphas.

(Poor picture sorry!)

I plan to have a day to myself tomorrow & CREATE, CREATE & did I mention CREATE! So maybe tomorrow night I will post another creation! (After I get home from work of course!)LOL.....

A Quick one....

2008-02-27T23:14:00.003+11:00

Hi There,
Just a quickie tonight. I should be in bed catching up on lost sleep. But this thing called SCRAPBOOKING is keeping me awake...lol...i am sure there are others that understand!
I picked up some Patterned papers at SCRAPSIDAISY today & really couldn't decide which one I liked the best. So I used a piece of all of them on the one page.
I also used a photo of myself......mmmmmmmm...what was I thinking??????

Off to bed now to grab a bit of sleep while I can. Brock's spots are "ITCHY" now & he keeps waking up. Needless to say I should have been in bed hours ago!!!!
Thanks for stopping by
ENJOY
Jules

Oh NO......."Chicken spots"

2008-02-25T20:09:00.005+11:00

Hi there,

I have turned into a very slack blogger I know! Too much going on & not enough time to fit it all in!

I have been creating away & have heaps to share.

Firstly (on the home front!) yesterday my D.S, Brock, came down with "chicken spots". He is pretty well covered with spots but hasn't been extremely unwell! (touchwood!!) & I sure hope it stays that way. I did take some pic's this arvo but I won't embarrass the poor little might by posting them on here!

I would like to also invite anyone, that is interested, to join the challenge that I have just started on the Scrapsidaisy Forum. Who knows if we have enough people participate we might start to offer prizes!

Next up- several weeks ago I created a Kaiser clock . I used a Kaiser paper range as well. I plan to display it on my T.V cabinet in my lounge room. I am a really happy with how this turned out too. I am actually helping a few ladies create one similar tomorrow!!!

The other thing that I created (that I CAN share) is a page -again using a Kaiser paper range.

I have a few other things that I will share real soon. Thanks for stopping by & I promise to try & be a better blogger in future! I also have some pic's to share of my newly improved scraproom.....

ENJOY

2008-02-15T22:36:00.007+11:00

Hi There,
I have just finished a page using the lovely, lovely new SCRAPWORKS- Love In Bloom p.p's & I just have to share it with you all! the papers & embellishments are just BEAUTIFUL! I also used, for the first time, the ever so yummy Basic Grey (Two Scoops-Heart Smudge) acrylic stamps that I picked up today at SCRAPSIDAISY!

The photo is of my D.D earlier in the week. It was the first time she had competed at a swimming carnival & she was so determined! She didn't win BUT she was a winner to me as she was so afraid that she wouldn't make the distance (she had never swam that distance ever before) & she did it without a drama!!! NOT bad considering she couldn't swim 4 months ago!
Thanks for looking & have a great weekend!

"~DASIY DECOR~"

2008-02-06T21:38:00.000+11:00

Here it is~
The amazing "Daisy Decor living scrapbook Hanging ALBUM" Designed for SCRAPSIDAISY
The first in the series is a vertical scrapbook custom made locally from quality solid pine timber. The timber can be left raw, painted and/or varnished as you would any other pine product to match your living area. They are perfect to show off your favourite layouts in your loungeroom, on your mantle or coffee table, even on the kitchen bench. As your layouts are covered in plastic they are perfectly safe from spills, stains and little finger smudges yet can still be enjoyed in your living area - not tucked away in an album. They also make an ideal gift. Just add some of your layouts and the recipient can enjoy your work in their home year round. When you do a new layout for them they can easily add it so the "look" can be freshened up as little or as often as you like! Why not add a little calendar on a layout for each month and use it as a very attractive piece of home decor to be enjoyed all year round or, why not take a photo once a month of your children, scrap it and add it to your album each month. It will be fun for the whole family and visitors to see how much the children have grown and changed from January to December. There are so many ways this product can be adapted to "live" with you in your home.
I started with the raw timber one and then I painted & sanded it- to give it a shabby look- and then finally varnished. And came up with THIS-
(excuse the poor lighting in the pic-still raining here & the flash is reflecting off it!)
I just know that they will be popular! The response today was unbelievable! One lady wants 6! thats right 6! She knows a good thing when she sees it!
Thanks for visiting & make sure you leave a comment to let me know what you think!

Hi There,
I am starting to get OVER the rain....LOL...It has been the wettest summer that I remember. The weekend was wet & miserable! So I spent a few hours playing in my scraproom! It was the perfect excuse!

I created a few pages that I will share. The photo's I have used on other projects but hadn't actually done any pages using them.

NOW FOR THE EXCITING NEWS-

Scrapsidaisy is releasing a " Daisy Decor " range! & I was the lucky one chosen to showcase the first item. Have you ever wished that you could display your pages, for all the lovelies that visit you, to see. Well now you can! Daisy has come up with the "living scrapbook" That is a vertical freestanding solid wood scrap album. I am painting & varnishing as I type!!!lol

So keep your eyes posted for as soon as I have finished I will show you all! It could be a couple of days between coats of varnish though. (we don't exactly have the perfect drying weather remember)

Better go & get the Rugrats organised

ENJOY

Hi,

I was inspired over the weekend by a very talented local scrap friend,Michelle, to create a couple of these itty bitty mini calendars. They are made out of coasters & I used the ever so yummy Basic Grey Two Scoops patterned papers. I had to use my ever so trusty Bind It All as well to bind them together.

Happy Australia Day Long weekend!

2008-01-27T17:24:00.000+11:00

Hi There,

Firstly- If you haven't entered my RAK please go back 2 posts & do so. You have until the 14th of Feb to enter & its really easy to do so!!!!!!!

Happy Australia Day long weekend to my Australian Buddies. To everyone else I just simply hope you are having a happy weekend!

I have had a wowser of a weekend so far! The creative juices (LOL) are still flowing ....SO I am going with it!

So far I have created a shadow box (I will share a sneak for you) Using the yummiest of papers. The new Basic Grey 2 Scoops. It is just lovely to work with.

Yesterday I headed off to Harvey Norman to process some photos & was ever sooo excited to learn that as a promotion for Australia Day they were processing 8x10 inch photo's for 26cents. I could not believe it. I LOVE huge photos. I was allowed 10, SO you guessed it thats what I got,10! Last night I was ever so inspired to use the new enlargements & the ever so delicious Bohemia, (Bliss Darling Daughter) Patterned papers & embellies that I picked up from SCRAPSIDAISY.

I created these-

The photos are HUGE & the papers are amazingly beautiful SO I didn't really have to do much!

I have a couple of other projects in mind for tonight. So check back real soon!

Thanks for looking

ENJOY

Jules

Full of INSPIRATION!!!!!

2008-01-21T22:01:00.000+11:00

Hi there,

I have had a wonderful weekend & I hope you all have had the same.

I have been really busy creating (both for myself & work) and really like some of the projects that I have created. I will show you a sneak of one that I created for work. It is a Jules original. I first made one of these about two years ago & really liked it back then So I pulled it out & re-used the same idea to create this-

I used the lovely Urban Lily patt. papers & lots of stamps & doodling. Be sure to keep your eye on the Scrapsidaisy newsletter to find out when the class for this will be held.

The next thing I created was a pre-purchased Aussie scrap kit. It is a great idea to leave your family members with lots of treasured memories & deep thoughts. It is called "A Year In Question" & was heaps of fun to create.

The kit is all pre-packaged & has all the lovely Basic Gray Blush papers that you need to create it in it. Another one to watch the timetable for.

The last thing I will share with you tonight is a page that I created today that was inspired by the colours in this-

Pretty yummy looking huh! they were sitting on my scrap table while I was creating this page & I used all the yummy colours as my inspiration.

That's about it for tonight. I have done a few other things but I will save them for mid-week.

Thanks for stopping by & make sure you leave a comment on my last post to go into the draw for the RAK that I am giving away on FEB 14th.

Keep smiling

ENJOY

It's RAK Time!!

2008-01-17T17:18:00.000+11:00

HI There,

I have finally decided what I would like to give away..........yeah!!!!!!!! For those of you that don't know I am really, really lucky enough to work at my LSS- SCRAPSIDAISY, in Wingham, N.S.W. So... when I was at work the other day I remembered the RAK that I have been promising to give away for a while now & took 5 minutes to look. I finally decided on a set of clear cling stamps with an acrylic block. The set is not a smally! The stamps measure 140 x 180mm & the block is 102 x 58mm. So it is a great size!!!!!!!!!AND BRAND SPANKIN NEW!!

So whats the catch you ask?????

well nothing really! all you have to do is leave a comment on this post & I will enter you in the draw. I will get one of my kiddies to draw it randomly (from the hat so to speak) on VALENTINES DAY. February 14, 2008.

BUT if you would like a second chance in the draw simply subscribe to the Email Subscriptions in my sidebar & I will enter your name twice in the draw.

So here is a picture of the stamps that some lucky duck is going to win! Be sure to leave a comment so that you go into the draw. GOOD LUCK!!

& THANK YOU to all the lovelies that have for the past 12 months have left comments & became my blogging friends. I treasure everyone of those comments & really enjoy the whole blogging world!

ENJOY & Keep smiling!!

Cardmaking Day

2008-01-13T22:51:00.000+11:00

Hi there,

I hope everyone is having a safe & enjoyable beginning to the New Year! I have that is for sure! Yesterday I had the pleasure of spending the day with a dozen or so very enthusiastic cardmakers! It sure is fun to see people, that have never created a card before, create something that they really LOVE!!!

We had 4 classes during the day. It was such a fun Day too. I think I already mentioned that!

I will share with you a couple of the projects that we created on the day.

The cards above are all unique fold cards. It was great to make cards that were something a little more fancy then the normal folds.

The second lot of cards we did were to use the new Glue pad. It is such a versatile pad & allows you to add heaps of glitter & bling!!!(you can't really see that in the photo though)

I had 2 other classes on the day. One was an off the page wooden hanging & the other was a scrap page. We still have a few kits left at SCRAPSIDAISY (instore) if you are interested. They come with full instructions & all the goodies you need to create the projects. While I am at it if you are one of our local ladies be sure to mark Saturday the 9th of February in your diary as that is when we will be doing it all again! I am pumped at the moment & have spent all weekend creating the projects for the next cardmaking day! There will be some really different cards next time!!!

Thanks to all the lovelies that have visited my blog & left really encouraging comments. I appreciate every single one of them!

ENJOY

Jules

Happy New Year (Better late then never!!)

2008-01-06T15:52:00.000+11:00

Hi There,

I hope that everyone has had a safe & wonderful New Year & I look forward to another joyful year ahead admiring your inspiring creations.

I have been doing a bit of creating over the weekend.I have created a few classes for next weeks cardmaking day(but I won't share!) & then I dug out some older photos. The first photos that I created with are both of my kiddies (newspaper) birth photos. So I created a layout with them both on the same page.

The next page I used another photo that is also a couple of years old. It is a 8x12 photo of my D.D when she was a flower girl for my niece's wedding back in 2005. I am JUST loving the new Chatterbox range of papers atm.

Be sure to check back in the next week or so Because I am sorting out atm what I will be doing for the RAK that I promised last year.

ENJOY

Jules

A time to reflect

2007-12-29T21:04:00.000+11:00

Hi There,

As we celebrated Christmas together this year one of my brothers couldn't make it home this year so I created a page to show him that I was thinking of him. Thanks for the great photo GUYS...love ya's

Jules

I had an amazing time!

2007-12-27T14:54:00.000+11:00

I hope everyone had a Christmas as special as mine!

I had a fun filled & special time shared with my beautiful family, with lots of presents & food!

I got a little spoilt this year! My D.D reduced me to tears on Christmas morning when he presented me with one of my pressies. He had gone to the jewellers & picked me out a set of gold ear- rings with diamond chips in them. They are just beautiful! so much so that I am too scared to wear them...lol..I got a lovely bottle of perfume, some make up & a photo CD stand from Santa as well!

I will share with you all the card that the Lovely Leisa made for me for Christmas. It is just stunning...BUT it is the words that are written inside that make it even more special-

So now the silly season has almost finished & the visitors have all gone home I feel the NEED to scrap!!!!!!SO last night I created a page.

My D.H dresses up as Santa almost every year & this year Maddy gave him a big smooch while he was dressed up.

And just prior to Christmas I made another Calendar & note book for my Darling Daddy & Aunty Pat. It turned out so yummy that I am going to make another one the same for myself.

I wish anyone that visits here a joyful time for the rest of 2007 & a Happy New Year for 2008!

ENJOY

Teachers gifts

2007-12-17T20:56:00.000+11:00

I have had some creative FUN today! I seem to be running out of time.....ohhh....but I managed to finally get the teachers presents made today. Both my kiddies have lovely lady teachers. Both are young & trendy! So I made them both calendars & note books to match. I hope they like them as I sure did have fun creating them!

These are really economical to make. I sure hope the teachers like them!
Thanks for looking

WOOOHOOO I WON!!!

2007-12-16T22:50:00.000+11:00

I just had to share with the world that one of my sisters from The sisterhood (YING) had a RAK & guess what??????????? I WON!.......woooohoooo

On other news I received some lovely cards this week from dear friends, The first is from Kristy , my local friend. What a lovely card Kristy!

the next is from Tracy. Who I had the pleasure of meeting a couple of times over the last few months. Tracy is a very talented cardmaker & this lovely card came in the post for me this week.

& then on the scrapping front I created a page earlier in the week-

This is one of the yummy new K & Co papers that I used to create this page (it's of me as a little girl).

Onto another exciting story!!!!!!!!!! I scored big time this week! I purchased from SCRAPSIDAISY one of these-

I haven't had a huge amount of time over the weekend to do a lot with it. But I did create a 6x6 mini book.

well done if you are still reading! it sure is a long post for me!

IN THE SPIRIT OF THINGS!

2007-12-10T21:17:00.000+11:00

Hi There!
I picked myself up these gorgeous NEW Love Elsie, Noel p.p's, last week at SCRAPSIDAISY & was just busting to use them. I used a photo of myself on Santa's knee from way, way back in 1970! BOY has Santa changed since then!!!!!!!!..........LOL. The papers were(as usual) really easy to put together!

SORRY about the poor quality of photo! I will fix it soon! IRL the colours are much brighter!
Thanks heaps for dropping by & be sure to check back soon as I will be adding a little RAK!
ENJOY

A NEW SISTERHOOD

2007-12-06T08:21:00.001+11:00

HI There,

It seems to be what we have been all looking for. It sounds like heaps of fun!

It is called the Sisterhood of travelling stampers & I am in group 4. Just click on the link if you are interested in joining. It should be fun! All you have to do is put the sisterhood list in your sidebar & visit your sisters (around once a week) & leave a comment to encourage this addictive craft that we are so, so addicted to.

It will be open until it gets to 30 (I think) So I will post it in my side bar as new people join.

My besty Buddy KRISTY is in the same group too.....WOOHOOO!!!!!!!!

be back soon

ENJOY

Jules

Something to share!

2007-12-03T16:03:00.000+11:00

Hi,
SORRY ( for the delay!).....LOL

I promised on Saturday night to share what I was about to create. WELL....that didn't get finished until today! So here I am sharing...right NOW!!

I was really excited last week at work when we got in some paper-mache CD boxes & post it note holders. They are really plain BUT can be transformed really easily into something lovely for your scrap desk. The CD box is perfect to store (we are always in search of photo storage) all of your enlargements in. I have used mine for my 6x8 & 5x7 enlargements. I used the new release Chatterbox Pattern papers. I think these both turned out rather elegant!

Then I just had to attack some of the other Chatterbox patterned papers So today I found a photo that I had taken of Brock (from our earlier holiday) & created this page. I was TRULY inspired with all the blossoms & rub-ons that KRISTY has been using on her burst of pages of late. So here is what I created today.

With the silly Season fast approaching I don't think that I will have as much time to create . BUT I do promise that whatever I create I will share for anyone that wants to look.

ENJOY

~MY GORGEOUS GIRL~

2007-11-27T14:03:00.000+11:00

FIRSTLY.........
~~~~HAPPY BIRTHDAY MADDY!~~~~
Just wanted to share with you all that my gorgeous GIRL turned 10 today!
For those of you that know me, you know how much my children mean to me. So today is a special milestone.
10 is a double digit!
10 is starting to show signs of growing up!
10 is not a little girl anymore........

The family are all coming to visit this afternoon & she is bringing her bestest friend home from school with her, for nibbles & tea (Pizza of her choice) so I had better get myself organised for the event. There have been more pressies then anyone would need (BUT hey she's special & deserves them!) & I am sure there will be even more this afternoon!

Thanks for visiting
ENJOY
Jules

A beautiful Sun Shiny Day!

2007-11-25T16:25:00.000+11:00

Hi all,

The weather is absolutely glorious here at the moment! Not too hot & not too cold.......JUST RIGHT! (sounds like a commercial)

I have had a super busy week But I have just found 5 minutes to share a quick post.

I have had heaps of fun & created a few things!

The first thing I made was a NOEL Christmas banner to hang on my mantle. I am so so addicted to the Basic Grey [Figgy Pudding] papers...LOL

& next I created this calendar for 2008, notepad & pen bucket. We had a class for this one at SCRAPSIDAISY on Friday & what a great morning we had! I still have a couple of kits left so if you are interested in creating this stationaary set (give the shop a call on 65535307). I used the lovely new Cosmo Cricket Hey Sugar p.p's with lots of doodling & stamping on these!

Have a wonderful week!

Thanks for stopping by

ENJOY

Jules

Lovin Figgy Pudding!!

2007-11-16T23:36:00.000+11:00

I was inspired by the ever so talented Jen Hall to create one of these Advent calenders. I picked this one up at Target the other day & have been just itching to attack it. I used the ever so YUMMY Figgy Pudding, Basic Grey patterned papers, Autumn Leaves messy date stamps as well as the stunning Lizzie Anne (L'amour) cling stamps. I know that my kidlets will be busting with excitement & impatiently waiting fot the 1st of December so that they can attack this every day!

I have had a wonderful week! The Christmas Countdown Calendar was a huge success. The Lovely ladies that came to the class were amazing & it was such a fun filled class. So I will show you the whole calendar now.

And the last project that I will share tonight is another one with Figgy pudding. It is a wall hanging that will be a class at SCRAPSIDAISY next week.

So if you are free give the shop a call on 65535307 to check out the times.

Thanks for looking

A few cards to share.

2007-11-07T20:55:00.003+11:00

Some Inspiration came my way!

2007-11-05T20:46:00.000+11:00

Hi All,

After the amazing day that we had at Scrapsidaisy on Saturday I came home all inspired to scrap some pages myself.

So I spent the other part of the weekend creating with the new Basic Grey Patterned Papers.

I am just loving mt Autumn Leaves swirls & flourishes stamps at the moment. A little addiction there (as you can see!)

While I was on a roll I pulled out some of my Paper Loft p.p's as well & created this one.

This last page is one that I want to share. I DID NOT create this one! It was created by the ever so talented Michelle G. (A local scrapper & photo of her D.D.) whilst she was instore the other day. I was so inspired by this that I had to do some for myself! & this is where my inspiration came from.

I have some other cards & thing to share but I will post them later in the week.

Have a safe & fun filled week

Thanks for looking

Enjoy

Card crop day

2007-11-03T20:07:00.000+11:00

Today at Scrapsidaisy we held another Cardmaking crop. It was another action packed day & I am sure fun was had by all!

I will share with you a few of the classes that I taught.

First up was a technique class where we made a Christmas card with chipboard (multi layer embossing technique)

Next up it was an Off The page Christmas Tag book

Then the next class was ran by a very talented guest teacher. You can check her out here
It was an honour to have you as a guest Tracy!

this (above) is the beautiful card that the girls created with Tracy!

After lunch and as a wind down for the afternoon we had another class that was to create these lovely, simple Christmas cards.

I made a page last week to show that you can use the embossing technique (As on the 25 card) on a scrapbook pages. Here is the page that I made.

I had a friend take some photo's for me today so as soon as I receive them I will post them as well.I hope you are all having a safe weekend!

Enjoy

Jules xoxo

18 months on!

2007-10-29T21:43:00.000+11:00

Hi
When I was having a clean up in my scraproom last week I fould a few pages that had never been finished. So today I was all inspired to finish them off. I can not believe the colour combination in the red, pink, white & cream one but I do remember that it was a We.R patterned paper that I loved.

and the second one (although not quite as old & sorry Kristy LOL) was another unfinished one, with a Heidi swapp clock overlay!

And while I am here THANK YOU to all the lovelies that have emailed me & left comments for my Dear old Daddy. He is doing fine. He will be in hospital for two weeks but is improving everyday, so THANX again!
Have a top week!
ENJOY
Jules

Feeling BLUE!!

2007-10-28T21:12:00.000+11:00

Hi All,
Just a few pages from the weekend. Its funny though! They must be a reflection of my MOOD!

I have been feeling a little blue & guess what my pages are?????you guessed it BLUE!!!

My Dear Old Daddy had a pretty serious fall on Friday and it has been a really worrying time. He will be O.K - I know that NOW- BUT .....at the time of my creations, I was more than a little worried & I truly believe that my pages reflect that.

Well here they are...

--------------------------------------------------

On a brighter note. Last night when I looked back on Friday nights creations & realised the BLUE feeling flowed through I challenged myself to create a brighter page. I used a fave photo of my D.D & some old P.P's out of my stash BUT I used my beautiful NEW "My Favourite Things" stamps that I picked up yesterday from SCRAPSIDAISY!

I am off now to try & create something NEW! & NOT Blue

Have a super safe week

ENJOY

Julieann xoxo

~Happy together~

2007-10-25T20:56:00.000+10:00

I....... FINALLY scrapped! yey!!!!

Nothing out of the box but that's usual for me of late!

I used the yummy new Bella range of p.p & chipboard embellishments. Can you guess where I got them????

SCRAPSIDAISY of course!!!

I will also share a couple of cards that I helped my gorgeous kiddies create, to give to two special girls. They had a tragedy in their family & my kiddies wanted to make something special for them to welcome them back to school.

Enjoy

Jules

My Fave thing! Ever!

2007-10-21T16:00:00.000+10:00

Hi All,
While I was cleaning up my HUUUGGGEE mess in my scraproom this afternoon. I sat for a while & looked at my "Cupboard of Love" while it is not new it would have to be the all time favourite thing that I have ever created. It took me a few days to create but I still love it today! So I thought I would share it with you! Thanks for looking!

Enjoy

Jules

P.S. I might even be back tonight with my sneak peaks that I promised!

Busy, Busy, Busy

2007-10-20T23:45:00.000+10:00

Hi All,
I have been super busy over the last few days....BUT.......not with anything that I can share :-(
I have been creating new class projects for the next Cardmaking day to be held by SCRAPSIDAISY on the 3rd of November. The day planned should be just as much fun as it was the last time when we celebrated world cardmaking day. We have been busy organising wonderful kits for the classes (with great new techniques!!!) & for those that are confident enough to do their own thing we have more card kits then ever for you to choose from!
I will try to get some photos taken tomorrow (for the local ladies) to share some sneak peaks of my classes for the day.
Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful weekend!
ENJOY
Jules

One with ME!

2007-10-14T22:30:00.000+10:00

just a quick one! a blog friend of mine (Carol aka ScrapMomof2) requested that I create a page with Me on it. I guess she is sick of looking at my kids...LOL . So I have just thrown together this layout of ME & the kidlets (of course!).

Enjoy

Jules

Photo's, photo's, photo's!

2007-10-13T23:17:00.000+10:00

Hi all,

As promised earlier in the day I am back to share some pages that I have just created with my NEW photo's from Coffs Harbour!

We had a wonderful relaxing time. :-)

The kidlets were amazing. Every time they saw a photo opportunity they would jump into a photo pose & say "take my picture here Mummy!" SO......I have hundreds of new photo's to play with. I am so happy with them that I took my disc to Big W this morning & just selected print all!

So here is what I have done ....so far!

ENJOY

Jules

Had a WOW of a time!

2007-10-13T17:08:00.000+10:00

Just thought I would share a snippet of our holiday! we had a wonderful & relaxing time! I will be back later for a full update

Enjoy

See you all soon....

2007-10-07T22:50:00.000+10:00

Hi just a quick one tonight.
I should be packing! we are off on a family holiday in the morning & I STILL haven't finished packing......(OH DEAR!!!)

I will leave you all (for 5 days) with a photo of my wooden stamps on my new shelf! My D.H has had the last week off & this is what he put up for me in my scrap room! Pretty impressive huh! He considers it his boat motor...LOL...my local friend will understand.(D.H says all the time that if I didn't have so much scrapping stuff he would have a big new boat...LOL. So when I arrived home from work the other day he took me to show me this new shelf calling it his boat motor! poor darling will get one one day, maybe when we win lotto!

I had better go & finish packing...yuk
bye for now
have a safe week
enjoy

WHO HAD THE TIME OF THEIR LIVES?

2007-10-06T21:18:00.000+10:00

I DID...............& about 20 other cardmaking/scrap obsessed women!!!!
Today we got together with a group of keen & very talented ladies to celebrate WORLD CARDMAKING DAY! & did we have a blast of a time??? You bet we did!
We hired the C.W.A rooms in Wingham (just a couple of shops up from Scrapsidaisy) to get together & create, create, create!!!! There were ladies everywhere stamping up a storm .....well almost! It was so, so much fun. The saddest part about the whole thing is that both Leisa & I were so busy that neither of us managed to take one single photo to show you how wonderful it was. So I will (TRY) to tell you......I am sure that everyone there had a great time. We had demo's, make & takes & technique classes for those that were interested & I had a wonderful, wonderful time teaching the classes that I did! The ladies were all so positive & encouraging that I felt honoured to be teaching them! :-)
As I type this I need matchsticks to keep my eyes open, but sleep is something that will not come for a few hours yet! I am still on such a high that if I went to bed I would just lay there for hours.
So to everyone that attended I hope that you had as much fun as I did & maybe we will see you all in November for our next cardmaking/scrapbooking get together!!!!
ENJOY
Jules
P.S. Thank you to Kristy & the other lovely ladies that helped Leisa & myself make the day possible!
