Full of INSPIRATION!!!!!

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!!

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

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!!)

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

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!

Hi

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

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!

Hi

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!

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

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!

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

We had my D.H's work Christmas party today & had a wow of a time. BUT the most exciting part of the day was the TRADITION of putting up the tree & decorating the loungeroom!! Have I told you how much I love Christmas!

~MY GORGEOUS GIRL~

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

A beautiful Sun Shiny Day!

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!!

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

Some Inspiration came my way!

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

Jules
