[craftystash]

Goodnight everyone

[zahra]

Morning everyone, you had a late night last night!

Hilary, think DH feeling better, we're both sort of avoiding confronting the issue in the hope he comes back

Tracie - knew it was SOMETHING in your hand!

Wet and miserable here today after the last 2 glorious days

[Mary Buttons]

Morning Zahra, yep same here just when we could have done with the sunshine Sale today at church, must dash so its Hello, bye speak to you all later.

[weetabix]

morning all

dry at the minute but its not looking to promising very overcast.

[tigerlady]

Morning all. Enjoying a lie in. Off to hairdresser with DD in half an hour.

[eClaire]

Good morning all, Love the Tigerbunny pic Hilary!

[craftystash]

Morning All

[tigerlady]

Morning Claire and Sue. Just printing out pics so DQ can do a lo for her cc challenges. She might as well get ahead of the game!

[Kat the Cobbler]

Morning people.

I'm going into uni for a whole hour and half today. Hard life isn't it haha. No seriously mum's got a hospital appointment at half three so I'm going in for Music Analysis and then meeting mum in town.

[eClaire]

Morning Sue, really super Lo's, have left you some comments. It must be so tempting to be scrapbooking with all that fantastic stash at your fingertips. Do you have to be very careful not to scrap your profits away!

[tigerlady]

Sound like DD- she's in for the afternoon only. Hope your Ma gets on OK.
Has your Dad had all clear from his leg yet?

[weetabix]

right done the hw, having a cuppa and five mins then gonna start some serious scrapping

[tigerlady]

I've done no housework and am about to embark on some light hearted scrapping:D

[Kat the Cobbler]

Sound like DD- she's in for the afternoon only. Hope your Ma gets on OK.
Has your Dad had all clear from his leg yet?

yeah it's some weird name thing. He had a choice of having it cut out completely and plastic surgery or leaving it (it's not dangerous or anything) so he's decided to keep it. Think he's come quite attached to it (haha pardon the pun).

[eClaire]

Sue - I was on a 2 day course back in november and there was a fantastic shop laid out in the cropping room, it was just brilliant, as you were scrapping, if you needed somthing you could just wander over and match colours and items exactly, take what you want and write it down for payment later. I imagine, having my own shop would be a bit like that.

have you ever taken your shop to a crop? I reckon the shop at our crop took hundreds!

[craftystash]

Morning Sue, really super Lo's, have left you some comments. It must be so tempting to be scrapbooking with all that fantastic stash at your fingertips. Do you have to be very careful not to scrap your profits away!

Hi Claire thanks for your lovely comments - Chance would be a fine thing - never get the time to scrap :(

[eClaire]

Hilary, Mary and Kat, i'm jelous, I don't mind that I work most of the time, in fact I probably need to work to keep sane, but I have hours of housework piled up and would just love to scrap, but I also have hours of work to fit in today! - grrr, its so annoying. I think I will try to get housework done tonight after DD's swimming lessons and then maybe I will be free on the CC evenings to scrap. O for a lottery win! O yes I forgot, I got a letter from the premium bond people and I won!!! :lol:but only £50, :( so looks like I will still be working tomorrow! however, could geta fait bit of stash for £50, excep the kids and Dh reckon we should all share it :wacko:

[Kat the Cobbler]

Claire, believe me I was soooo glad to be back at uni yesterday. I was starting to crawl up the walls (bearing in mind I had done some work while i was off). My friend was saying that she's saved enough money to have the whole of the summer off!! That's half way through may until October. I couldn't do that. I have a tendency to get bored to easily.

[weetabix]

This is how it goes claire

One for Sue, one for the shop, one for Sue, one for the shop.

You can just imagine the pile of stash she has:lol:

[TracieDoodle]

morning ladies

Great LOs Sue - sorry I left you last night mid confession!!

[weetabix]

[weetabix]

[Mary Buttons]

Have you been naughty then Tracie and broken your promise not to buy stash until you had done 30 LOs with your existing stock. :lol:

I have just received 3 more photos of Daniel from Helen so am going to play this afternoon.

[TracieDoodle]

I had to Mary the deadline for the discount was yesterday - seemed silly to wait and waste it! Particularly wih my finances!!

Sue - would this confession have anything to do with my brads??:ph34r:

I have to admit that I was a little traumatised when I spotted them - but never fear - send me your gorgeous dog and I will forgive you!!:lol:

[Mary Buttons]

What was so strange about the brads then Tracie

[craftystash]

I had to Mary the deadline for the discount was yesterday - seemed silly to wait and waste it! Particularly wih my finances!!

Sue - would this confession have anything to do with my brads??:ph34r:

Claire Mark has just arrived home with goodies!!! yay !!!

[weetabix]

thankgod, that didnt take him long

[weetabix]

where is everyone, im actually chilling with a cup of tea and a jaffa cake

[tigerlady]

Just back from taking dq to school and filling up car. Just in time to catch up here, put the tea on and probably pick her up again.
I'm hoping the story of the dog and the brads isn't anything like the story of our dog and the spirograph pins cos if it is I would not be putting those anywhere near a lo!

[weetabix]

No Hilary lol, Sue just put the wrong brads in Tracies order and realised after she had posted it

[tigerlady]

Last Call For Kids Bingo Sign Ups 6pm Today!

[weetabix]

Mary has your chipboard arrived?

[tigerlady]

Hi Kittycats
We had to be inside the church today so didn't do as well as usual but we still took £90 so not that bad
My Chipboard came this morning thanks Sue sorry I paniced

Yes it has Weety.
Have finally sorted out the fonts on my computer so can try to make some swirly rubons. I'm sure there should be other less ornate swirls but I can't find them

[Mary Buttons]

Hi Sorry I disappeared I was so tired. just had a sleep in the chair. about to get myself a cuppa now. but haven't any jaffa cakes unfortunately could just do with one though

[tigerlady]

Great start to the proceedings- first message I post gets lost!
I don't blame you Mary, I'd love a couple of hours of head down time.

[Mary Buttons]

I know what I was going to ask you Hilary do you have this font Ornimental Scrolls, that one is good if not I can probably zip it for you and email it to you. can't remember where I found it but I know it was from one of the CC that I first discovered. it.

[Kat the Cobbler]

Hi people. Back from uni and the hospital. Seriously need to do some work as we've now found out that all our deadlines are in the next two weeks!!! Mum's been put on another tablet!

[tigerlady]

I'm not sure I'll see which ones I just downloaded today. Back in a mo. Kettle on too!

[tigerlady]

I found border corners, flower ornaments,printers ornaments and wmdesigns1!

[Mary Buttons]

this is the site where I have had several from if you go to the 'O' you will find the one I have just emailed you or at least I hope I have but there are lots of dingbats here.
http://www.dingbats-uk.org.uk/mvdl/dinglinks4.html

[tigerlady]

That's exactly what I'm after, thanks Mary. I think it'll be easier to build up a nice swirl with the more delicate swirls.

[Mary Buttons]

Its ever so easy with that one I have done it lots of times that is definitely my favourite. It is not only delicate it is also very smooth some of the others seem to be a bit pixelated or rough but this one is perfect.
Wish I could do rub ons but every time I try the go wrong on me so I gave up.

[tigerlady]

Thanks Mary, arrived safely and amazingly enough I installed it without trouble. I hope to play after tea as long as DH isn't doing his work on the computer. I could do with my own machine and printer:D Sadly, unlike Claire(forgot to say congrats btw!) Ernie hasn't brought us anything this month.

[tigerlady]

Do you have the two stage rub on paper which makes "real" rub-ons or the decal type which you cut out or are you printing onto shiny acetate and transferring the ink onto the page?
I'm not certain I'll succeed yet but I have the paper so will give it a go.

[TracieDoodle]

hello all

Pity you won't part with your pooch Sue - I suppose I'll just have to forgive you anyway! (can't blame a girl for trying though - he is gorgeous!)

[Mary Buttons]

The one I have all the trouble with is the decal one I have tried the acetate one but it doesn't work all that well.

[Mary Buttons]

what is the two stage one called, cos the one I use is two stages but is definitely the decal

[Kat the Cobbler]

ernie never brings me anything. I sometimes wonder why he has my money

[tigerlady]

I'll wet you know how I get on with the 2 part one. eClaire uses it and so does Jimjams but it's a faff as you do it in several stages and are meant to wait an hour between each stage(though as I recall Claire doesn't.

[TracieDoodle]

going to shoot straight off cos I want to be ready for tomorrow

bbl x

[tigerlady]

ernie never brings me anything. I sometimes wonder why he has my money

Cash them in and buy new ones! There's a popular rumour that new bonds come up more often than old ones. We've done well with ours this year and so have Mum and uncle. Mum won £10k before Christmas!!

[Kat the Cobbler]

I've only had them two years.

[Mary Buttons]

I need to look at the kits and see if I can make any up, I don't really want to do anything other than LOs though so will see what is involved before I try any of them. Weety if yours isn't an LO I will do that one gotta support my friends :lol:

[Mary Buttons]

My dindins is nearly ready but I don't really feel hungry yet so may leave it for a bit. Prepared a stew earlier and left it to cook itself. smells delish though

[Kat the Cobbler]

we've got meatloaf, mash and gravy

[tigerlady]

Ours smells yum too- barbecue chops, mash and peas! Trying to do something we don't normally have. I tend to have a rota of about 15 dishes and go round and round week after week!

[Mary Buttons]

Where is the timetable I can't find it now.

[tigerlady]

I'm not aware I've ever had meat loaf. BBL DH just landed.
Home page Mary

[Kat the Cobbler]

We've never had it. Dad found a recipe for it and it looked quite nice so we thought we'd try it.

[Kat the Cobbler]

Timetable (http://www.ukscrappers.co.uk/boards/showthread.php?t=218799)

[Kat the Cobbler]

Think I ned a trip to the library to borrow some more cd's. I wonder if they've got the soundtrack for stardust

[Mary Buttons]

Thanks found it. Is anyone doing the first class looks like they are doing a mini book 6x6 not sure about that one

[Mary Buttons]

Woo Hoo I have made up my first Kit think this is the very first time I have done this :lol:

[Kat the Cobbler]

I've been told that it's not a mini book as such!!

[Mary Buttons]

Trouble is not having the kit it is not very explicit as to what is required.

[Kat the Cobbler]

Ignore me. I'm getting confused because the supplies list is not in the same order as the classes.

it's the sleepless in seattle one that isn't a minibook as such.

[Mary Buttons]

Well Sleepless is a non kit class anyway think they are a bit more specific.

[tigerlady]

Woo Hoo I have made up my first Kit think this is the very first time I have done this :lol:

Well done! I made up kits for the last one but when I saw the actual lo changed my mind and sorted out other stuff! Hopefully tomorrow I can get all organised- if DQ is joining in it will take me twice as long to do anything.

[Kat the Cobbler]

True, very true.

[Mary Buttons]

I'm miffed I forgot to try to get some stazon, so I will have to improvise that bit probably print out a flourish looking somewhat like the stamp but I will only be able to do that in black.

[Kat the Cobbler]

I didn't even look at the kits to see what I needed. I'm just going to wing it i think

[Sonja.B]

Morning all - just to remind you that the vote poll for March is up now.

Thanks for link to timetable Kat

DH going away tomorrow leaving me in charge :wacko: (well, am always in charge, really)

Going to do housework, scrapping, make up some kits for next weekend, look after DD, do work and have haircut. And then on Saturday......only kidding, will take me forever to do my rather ambitious list!

[Mary Buttons]

I am sorted now for three classes one on Friday, (don't think I will do the first unless it seems interesting ) and two on Saturday. back to the list to see what is next. even if I don't get round to doing them it is fun making up the kits will try and print off the instructions too so if I don't do them in time I can do them later.

[Sonja.B]

DOH!!

Sorry evening!!!

I started to invade all the thread this morning then got sidetracked when my friend popped by - then it was time to go to work for the pm shift.
So I just carried on from where I left off....without checking!

Crazy lady alert!!! OOps sorry Z quoted you instead of Sonia:lol:[/QUOTE]


hmmmmmmmmmmm, you may have done that on purpose, Hilary!! :wacko:

Off to bed soon, so see you in the morning!

[tigerlady]

:D Night night- see you for the cc tomorrow. I'm looking forward to this one- first one I've been excited about since HP

[tigerlady]

I've done this and actually like it as it is but have want some opinions as to whether to embellish or leave as it is

[Mary Buttons]

Why can't you print it in other colours Mary?

Weety used black & White I wont be able to print it in white. thats all, but I think I may well go into town tomorrow morning and see if I can get something like it. I take it that it is a ink pad of some kind?

[Mary Buttons]

Hilary if you like it as it is then that is all that matters isn't it. They are a super lot of photos too.

[Kat the Cobbler]

I've ordered the tote bags. They've got them in the sale at craft superstore and there's 15% off as well so I got them even cheaper than I found them the other week

[Mary Buttons]

That's great Kat.

[tigerlady]

Weety used black & White I wont be able to print it in white. thats all, but I think I may well go into town tomorrow morning and see if I can get something like it. I take it that it is a ink pad of some kind?

You mean Stazon? Yes, it's a solvent based ink pad. For acetate and glossy surfaces it is about the best there is. You can also use brilliance but it takes a while to dry and theres another cheap one you can get from hobbycraft but can't recall name. Have asked my friend for her list so will post it when it eventually turns up.

[Mary Buttons]

I have a brown one Whispers and that is permanent-waterproof for glossy or porous paper. I tried that out on a bit of acetate rough side and it works OK but not really the colour I would like for this time.

[tigerlady]

I think it is whispers I'm thinking of.

[weetabix]

Mary if I had known i could have posted you mine doubt it would arrive in time now.

Brillience white shows up well but, i found it wiped off, you could get away with black if you cant get white, or even pale pink if they do that colour, but stazon definalty best.

[weetabix]

here it is mary

[Mary Buttons]

I'll see what the shop has tomorrow, there is another shop I can try but I will have to find it, they move a while ago and I haven't been there since I know where abouts it is but its in one of those mutli purpose buildings in the industrial estate. If I can get myself going early enough I might go down there and see.

[eClaire]

Hi All, quick hello before bedtime. Weety I have black Stazon, will that be OK, or would another colour be better? I have never used it, do you use it just like a pigment ink? but it stays on acetate?

[TracieDoodle]

evening ladies!
are we all excited yet?

[Mary Buttons]

Getting that way Tracie
I have made up two kit and of course Weety's one the others I think I will see as they come up.
Probably do some digi as well.

[TracieDoodle]

Just printed off the timetable so I can tick things off as (and if) I do them

going to try and get an early night - dosed up and can't concentrate properly - need to be back on form for tomorrow

sleep well Mary!
x

[weetabix]

claire black should work ok, just use it the same as normal inks

[Mary Buttons]

I was going to say good night to Tracie but she has already disappeared.
Think I might go to bed shortly, just need a drink, Will have to do a bit of tidying up in the morning cos I can't find and working space at the moment.

[Kat the Cobbler]

evening ladies!
are we all excited yet?

I was but I've now realised I've got far too much work to do so I don't know how much I will be able to take part. Might just print the classes off for a later date and then just try the challenges over the weekend.

[zahra]

Morning everyone!

Hilary, I like your LO as it is.

Am a little excited, but have tons to do first before I can think about scrapping. Joint top of my to do list though is to finish MK!! Nearly there, just got to stick down my journalling!!

DH left early this morning, I did get back to sleep but typically woke at 7 :rolleyes: - why can't I get up with as few problems when I need to leave early?!?! And why can't I sleep in when I have the (rare) opportunity?!?! DD still in bed asleep!

[cherryb]

a message to you all from Cherryb.
have a great scrapping weekend all of you...cybercrop looks great....
I'm out and about Whitby with the 'women today' weekend, armed with the camera, hopefully to take some brill srappy shots!

[weetabix]

Morning Zahra & Cherry

Its Friday!!!!

I have so much to do, need printer ink and glue.(rhymes|)

Its dales birthday and I left his cards and thorntons at work last night so need to go get them.
I need to print off timetable and sort some kits for classes, I wont be doing the books, but will try voodovixens as that looks a little different.


Oh and dales car broke down again last night after we spent 1,000 on it already so to top if off he took my car to work this morning so im carless

[Kat the Cobbler]

I think the only book I'll do is Voodoo vixen's (if I do any).

I need to print the timetable out. I know the start of bingo clashes with the end of doctor who tomorrow.

[Kat the Cobbler]

Right laters people. I'm off to uni.

No doubt you'll have rolled by the time I get home

toodles!!!

[weetabix]

laters taters x

[Mary Buttons]

Morning Kitties

I have been here a while but I was doing my 365 page for today never done that so quickly.
I must have a look at Voodoo Vixen's class sound as if it is interesting.

[weetabix]

its say do it in your bedroom colours

[Mary Buttons]

Well that one is going to be difficult for me to fit in I will be going to church Sunday morning so may have to do that one later.

[Mary Buttons]

Well you have just decorated your bedroom Weety so that should be interesting

[zahra]

I haven't really looked at any of the classes properly yet......oh well, never been that prepared before, why break the habit!!!!

[tigerlady]

Good morning ladies and a lovely day it is too.

Mary if I had known i could have posted you mine doubt it would arrive in time now.

Brillience white shows up well but, i found it wiped off, you could get away with black if you cant get white, or even pale pink if they do that colour, but stazon definalty best.
Brilliance takes about 24 hours to really set on acetate but generally gives a stronger imprint than stayzon. Not much use for cc weekend as it either won't dry in time or will get rubbed off.

:D

That's what videos are for!

[Mary Buttons]

Come on Hilary you know that Dr Who takes presidence over everything else with Kat :lol:

Morning Hilary btw.

I am going to see if I can find this shop that has moved they will probably have either stazon or whisper. might phone them first though.

[Mary Buttons]

if all else fails I can use an old office type stamp pad that will stay put once it is properly dry, the only difficulty is that is a big stamp and I am not sure whether it will take up enough ink, may try that one before I worry though.

[Mary Buttons]

right brekkie time.

[weetabix]

mmm me to choccie spread on toast

[tigerlady]

Are there any Swindon bods on line who might be able to direct you there?

When stamping on acetate you can carefully flip the stamp and acetate over and press the rubber onto the acetate. You can see where the stamp has stamped. Works really well with stayzon as I find it quite sticky so easy to flip!

[Mary Buttons]

I have just looked at the deadlines for uploading our projects and we have a much better time table this time. the shortest one will be Sunday's but even that is 4 pm so I may well be able to do Voodoo Vixen's one and upload in time.

[tigerlady]

right brekkie time.

I've just taken a pic of mine for Shimelles class... my morning coffee... and the washing basket...view from the window...and laptop showing UKS! I'm enjoying this!

[Mary Buttons]

Most of the Swindon People will go to another shop which I can't get to this one is a bit out of the way for most of them. but I can get there by bike. It is nearly in the same place they have just changed buildings so have to go search that building for them.

[tigerlady]

Shouldn't be too hard then. Take their phone no with you so you can ring if you can't find it!

[Mary Buttons]

After all that the easiest shop for me to get to have the black in stock. so I will be able to use that just need to get dressed and catch the bus into town. brilliant.
Speak to you later folks

[eClaire]

Good Morning all. Apart from think about a photo for weety's class and buy some stazon. I have done NOTHING to prepare for the CC - AgHHH! Hoping to try something tonight after 2 dance classes and DD1's first Guide meeting and before an all day netball tournament tomorrow. Roll on Sunday!

[eClaire]

when do we get to see everyone's MK entries, is it today or tomorrow? Also, is there anywhere you can see the LO's for the classes yet, or will you only see what they really are when the class is released?

[tigerlady]

You won't see them until the class is released unless they have stuck them in their galleries early!
Is Weety's class a b+W pic or does it not matter.

[weetabix]

mines not black and white hilary but will look nicer if phot had a bit of the colour of the papers in, i went with the pink.

[eClaire]

Hi Hilary/Mary - I have a colour photo for Weety's class, my photo has pink in it too!

[weetabix]

you can always do a last minute change if you not sure it will work anyway dont worry

[TracieDoodle]

hi kitties

[weetabix]

hi Tracie

[Mary Buttons]

Hi Kitties I am back and I have Black & Fuchsia Pink Stazon woo hoo. also more pp but only 5 sheets and 1 sheet of 2 scoop element stickers. Oh and some bling. I have a photo of me with a bit of pale pink in my tee shirt for Weety's class.

[weetabix]

good stuff Mary glad you got sorted

[weetabix]

off to nursary back later x

[tigerlady]

Quiet Today- every doing last minute prep?

[weetabix]

just back from nursary having lunch then going to get some kits together, will have to print photos tonight when ive got my ink

[TracieDoodle]

I've just given my gallery another quick culling Hilary!

[weetabix]

good idea i think i will to

[tigerlady]

Me three!

[Mary Buttons]

that's a good idea Tracie better do that myself.

[TracieDoodle]

strange I just posted and it's disappeared

[Mary Buttons]

I watched a blind young woman get on the bus today and it made me thing what would I do if I could no longer see. And as is my want I have written a prose contemplating this. I am going to put it on my blog if you want to see.

[tigerlady]

strange I just posted and it's disappeared

A HA!!! Not just me it's happening to then!

[tigerlady]

I'm fighting a losing battle with DH. I keep turning the colour and contrast down on the screen so that the colours I see are a bit closer to what I print out. He keeps upping them with the result my latest prints are all overexposed :(

[TracieDoodle]

I am so glad that now the only person who touches my pc is me!!!

Right, I'd better shake a leg

bbl x

[tigerlady]

I'm struggling to remember to photograph my day.So far I've got bottle of bleach on the toilet and the washing machine!

[Mary Buttons]

see you later Tracie I am going to get myself some food. think I may well have a good meal that will save me cooking tonight.

[zahra]

fuschia stazon, Mary, sounds nice

[Mary Buttons]

Yes think it will go with the Kit and with the photo I have.

[weetabix]

well Mary all I can say is you havent got long to wait now, I just hope my class goes down well and people have a go, I would be mortified if no-one did it.

[weetabix]

just found a stunning photo for the first class but the class requires 3 photos wonder if i can get away with 1 and put something else in place of the 2 little pictures

[tigerlady]

Is the first class the make your own oscar one with the art man model?

[TracieDoodle]

well Mary all I can say is you havent got long to wait now, I just hope my class goes down well and people have a go, I would be mortified if no-one did it.


I suppose I could give it a go chuck - so you'll get one doing it!:P

[Mary Buttons]

Well all who bought the kit ought to do it cos that wouldn't be fair to Weety if we didn't and I know that there were folk that went to AP and managed to get all they needed including the stamp so they will be doing it too.

[Mary Buttons]

Yep Hilary will have another look at that but I wasn't overly interested when I look originally.

[tigerlady]

Right, washing under control, toilets cleaned, tea planned, pics printed so off to get my Shimelle book ready to upload. Hmm how do I take a photo to document I took a photo to upload?

[tigerlady]

Yes, one or other of us will be doing it here -unless I can supplement the kit with similar stash and squeeze two out of it!
Still not sure how much DQ will do- I've done lots of prep of kits/embellies for her so that hopefully when she does join in she'll be more self sufficient but not totally convinced it'll work.
She's done an lo for her sketch challenge but not her other one yet.

[tigerlady]

Have 800 kb of space in my gallery wonder if that will be enough?
Coffee time-where's my camera!

[Mary Buttons]

Borrow Kitty's camera and take a photo of you taking a photo :lol:

[Mary Buttons]

I would love to have taken a photo of the blind lady and her dog on the bus but didn't have the courage to ask. besides the bus was rather full of other people and that may have been a bit embarassing.

One of our people modules was street photography. It's very hard going out and taking pictures of strangers. Chookie and I spent ages in Nantwich doing it but there weren't many "characters" about. Managed a couple I was very happy with. Wish I'd tried 2 days later as there was a man in full evening dress with bow tie playing classical guitar in the old square by the church and Chookie went the next day and the place was full of folk in medieval costumes.
