Well we went to the first meeting of the speedway season last night (took my niece who was visiting from London) - I think I am still frozen stiff now!!

And I want my hour back :( how rude is that?? Pinching an hour of my day :(

We are off for an indian tonight :D so that should warm me through a little.

Ready to scrap

I thought I would alter my pics on www.scrapblog.com and have them printed ready to scrap.
Thought this was a fab way of embellishing them without messing with stamps, overlays etc.. and all the elements I used were free - now we all like freebies LOL.
So, above is a typical pic of me and Paul, haven't got many without him sticking his tonue out!!

This is my nieces photo shoot...


My mum and Jess...



Me at Solfest last year...

Us at Solfest last year...

Can't wait to see what they are like when they are printed :D
I have also printed my digi LO's - thought they would be nice to put in a little album to carry round with me, and if they look nice I might get some printed larger :D

Love'n',hugs

Woohoo - look at my pwitty new phone :D

Now thats a scrapbookers phone :D

Ok, it's not a new phone, but it has had a makeover :D
I have always wanted a girly phone, but have to have a good spec phone, and girly ones are ussually rubbish quality!!

Now I have the best of both worlds :D
hmmmm wonder if Paul wwould let me do the laptop to match??? LOL

well I'm truly addicted....

...to scrapblog :D
If you haven't tried it pleaseeeeee .... give it a go:D they have fab designers over there - I noticed Glitz and sassafraslass were new ones today :D

Have a go - it's really easy and fun :D

No Cheating!!!!!! as you can see I didn't LOL - how did my hair end up so messed up???

Been busy...

..well I have been busy making cards today for charity :D
I found a box full of cards that I made before scrapbooking and what a difference to what i have made today haha :D
I have been trying to use things I won't really use in my scrapbooks, but the differnce is the tools!!!

I LOVE Cuttlebug embossing folders :D

Still coughing like mad too :(
On the plus side I do have a slight lie in tomorrow as I don't start until 8.30 - yipee :D

My Prima chipboard albums arrived today from QVC :D might have a little play with those at the weekend :D I really loved the demo Josie from Prima showed using the crayons and acrylic paint so might have a go at that with one of them :D

I've been busy today :D

This is my little niece Jessica :D




Stamped on to Shrink plastic with Hero Arts clear stamps!!


This is me :D A LO using HO3 brushes as hybrid elements - the frame is printed on cardstock and the birdcage on inkjet transparancies



I have to say they look soooo diferent in vintage colours and papers!!! and how cute are the Melissa Frances frames :D

I am so down with Hybrid scrapping - the best of both worlds :D

Julie....

is missing Paul :(  (and so is Rolo!!)

Well the TSV on QVC today was total pants- along with quite a few other items LOL

The only saving grace was the Prima hour - but me wubs Prima :D

It's really cold any wet here tonight :( not good for those with a cough :(

Still all tucked up cozy and warm in the house now :)

Night all

J xx

hmmm spoke a wee bit too soon!!!

not feeling the best at the mo, I keep having hot flushes :( and now I'm all stuffed up :(

My friend Rebekah, kindly got me one of the purple cow cutters from Aldi and that arrived in the post today :D haven't tried it yet - I used all my strength getting in the packaging LOL!!

The silly dog was so funny before - I was blocking his way and DH threw his ball in to the kitchen, so I was moving around so he couldn't get passed, so he jumped up and licked my nose - good tactics Rolo hahaha :D

Hugs'n'stuff

J xx

Woohooooo :D

I think I am finally atrting to feel a bit better :D my nose feels like it has finally dried up a little bit, the sneezing is less often, and DH is most upset because I can actually talk without it killing me :D

Well if really nasty medicine works, I will be cured by the morning LOL. My lovely DH, who has been really nice and helpful, bought me some cough medicine - it tastes evil!!! But hey , if it works I'll take it :D
Nothing exciting to report at all today, I just had the worst morning for knocks on the door!!!
Tomorrow, I am officially "not in"!!!!

Hugs'n' stuff

Orbalicious!!!

Well I don't know if any of you are Most Haunted fans but how amazing is the orb in this pic?? A friend of mine(Debbie) took it at Chatsworth House!! She has loads of other pics and you would think the orbs were tour guides- they are all over the place :o

Well i'm still chocker with cold and getting really fed up now :( This is no way to spend a weeks holiday :(

Was even more fed up when broadband went on the blink - I thought it was just ours but DH discovered it was a regional problem. I had to keep watching all night to see when it was back on LOL. as DH said "what did we do before we got a PC??"

Well good news from work - we passed our KPI this time - they come round and check all the standards throughout the shop and 85% is the pass mark - we got 85% thank goodness!!! the repercussions of an amber or red mark is not good!!

I forgot to mention the other day in the excitement of setting up my blog, the thing that made me decide to start one was here - check out Rhonnas entry on Feb 18th :D Major happy dance for me :D How cool to be featured on my fave designers blog :D

Right I'm going to get ready to watch "Samantha Who", seeyas soon,

Even snottier hugs'n'stuff

Julie xx

Rudolf has got nothing on me!!!!

OMG my nose is sore!!!
hope this burger of a cold doesn't linger too long!!!
Did you watch Dancing on Ice?? what on earth was Jessica doing in the skate off?? The British public should stop treating these shows as popularity contests and look at the amazing talents instead! Why is Ruthie a judge? and how can she get away with personal comments like that :o bang out of order! BUT at least we got to see Jessicas routine in full :D

I did some crafting today - part of Shimelles Scrap like you mean it challenges :D
I might go back and do the other 7 as I quite enjoyed todays work :D
The challenge was to cut a photo, so I took photos of my fave showergel from Lush which unfortunatley only appears for Chrimbo :(
It took some thinking about but I'm quite pleased with the end result :D
If you would like a better look it's in the gallery on UKS :D

snotty hugs 'n' stuff

edited to add isn't There's something about Mary the funniest film ever LOL :D

This is just a test to see what happens to my slideshow when I post again :D hmmm thought so!!

Well it's been a totally pants day today!!
I have the cold from hell and DH was called in to work this morning and has just got back in now(6pm).

The only good thing is I managed to sort out my slideshow and worked out how to add a blinkie with the help of a forum buddy :D

If anybody reads this who is a scrapper and isn't already on there (although I suspect that to be highly unlikely haha :D) UkScrappers is the friendliest and most helpfull group of crafting peeps I have ever met :D

Right time for more paracetamol I think!
