If you are on Internet Explorer (IE) that sometimes can cause problems with genes I believe.

Thanks Ann that may be the problem...I came off the internet to check where I click on to get the internet and it does say Internet Explorer.

It is still behaving itself lol.

Finished the double pages of our visit to Grand Canyon in 1992, one page sunrise, one sunset. Very pleased with how they turned out and I actually tore the backing paper (not the 12x12 though.

Hello fellow crafters, well I finally managed to get going with my scrapping, I have been doing it all day, once I get going I dont want to stop, managed to do 7 pages 8x8( I hasten to add,) the wedding photos,

Are you feeling better Ann,J thought he was starting with the cold again, but it seems to have passed...thank goodness....your pages sound nice, its so
good when they come together right...

Linda, I too have firefox and rarely have any problems, usual y my fault if there is, pressing wrong button....lol....now I have started scrapping again, I dont know when I will start the dolls, but its something you can pick up at anytime..

~~~~to Daff ~~~

Love Jean xx

Sounds brilliant, Ann... and poetic... I always think of sunrise as tearing into the new day... and sunset as slipping into a healing sleep... strange, isn't it? And to have that over the Grand Canyon... torn into the rocks through aeons of sun rises and sunsets... stunning....

I must say that I wouldn't have been there to take that photo unless I was unconscious... but it sounds wonderful!

~~~~~~ back to Jean~~~~~~

We have punched out zillions of hearts and butterflies.... and tomorrow we shall put them onto a card for mummy... but the new scooter was a bit of a distraction with it's flashing lights, lol

If the weather is good, it will be Barry Island tomorrow.... the beach!! That I shall scrap straight away..... Watch this space.

Love

Daff xxxx

why would you not be there Daff. Is it heights? T doesn't like heights but he was OK there as long as he was back behind the wall, and you don't look down, you look out and across, if you know what I mean. The sunrise was best, wouldn't have missed it for the world.

Hello, been absent for a couple of days because I've not been feeling great. Still been making the odd card but no scrapping sadly. However tomorrow is, fingers crossed, my crop day. I say fingers crossed because it has been cancelled twice this year due to snow and i really need some time in the company of like minded individuals and to shop in a proper craft shop LOL

Linda, I really can't blame you for buying the tim holtz goodies I was very tempted myself and I am planning on getting myself some more of his inks. I was doing well with collecting the original colours and have over half of them and then he had to launch some new ones. Good thing is it is my birthday next month and I am already planning what to buy with my birthday money.

Today I'm working on ATCs for a swap the theme is your birth year, wasn't sure what to go with at first but it really seems to becoming together now. I've got a king (Elvis) & queen (jubilee) theme going on.

Your ATCs sound interesting Sarah, will they be on your blog?

Sorry you have been poorly hope you are feeling better now.

Thought you would all like to know this. In todays supplement in The Mail, a lady has captured the most moving moments of the past 70 years in a tapestry. Not had chance to read it yet. She must have good eyesight, as I could see closely enough to the work, to do it. It is very pretty and intricate
Julia in Derbyshire

I saw that too JUlia although also have not read it, it does look extremely intricate doesn't it? As one who managed to finish exactly one smallish cross stitch picture I admire her.

I'll probably put them on my blog when I'm done with them. At the moment they are drying and I'm thinking that they missing something, they need more white to balance out the red and blue I've used but I'm not sure how to add it.

Am now engaged in a tim holtz overload LOL I've got some other ATCs to make with no theme so have got his inks, crackle paint and masks out. If it works they too will make it to my blog

Do let us know when they are on your blog Sarah.

Hi, Ann, and all, only one page to do and the wedding album is done.... I have bought a c.d. from Joanne Sheen by the Royal Horticultrural Society, and printed a lot of insets and background papers but they are only for 8x8, they are lovely....I have also ptinted some stuff onto canvas paper...quite pleased with the results....

love Jean xx

Well done for getting it finished Jean, I am sure they will be thrilled with it.

Just popped in to let you know that the ATCs are on my blog http://craftamongthelandrovers.blogspot.com/
Not totally sure about them but they are 'done'

Thank you sarah, will have a look.

I have had a look sarah and they are both good. I think the King & Queen theme is very good, I liked them both. I actually don't like doing ATCs but like looking at them.

To be honest Ann I think I only make them because i love receiving other people's so much. I have been swaping them for over two years now and like nothing more than taking out the files that contain them and having a browse through

Yes, they do help with ideas but I rely on cards I receive now and magazines for ideas, I really didn't have time to be making ATCs.

Just downloaded and printed off a lot of photos I took yesterday of the snowdrops and Aconites at the arboretum. Just need to sort out which ones to use in scrap pages now. Knowing me it will be most of them Lol!!
