<deb> uh oh
<angel> yupp..lol
<AmyLPR> but i've never used my stamps in my scrapbook
RubberRabbit hands bj an unofficial pole
<beanjean1> I THOUGHT I
<beanjean1> OOPS
<deb> lol
<RubberRabb> one question bj
<beanjean1> I'D GIVE YOU SOME BACKGROUND ON WHY *I* SCRAP
<beanjean1> WHAT RR?
<RubberRabb> why is 'scrapbooking' always all 'cute'
<beanjean1> UHHH
<deb> it's not
<angel> hummm.
LiBsTeR thinks mine would be very scary
<RubberRabb> oh ok
<beanjean1> i DON'T THINK MINE IS ALL CUTE
<deb> my mother in law only does vintange and elegant
<AmyLPR> either is mine
<angel> cause, usually, you are doing it for kids..
<beanjean1> I GUESS MOST OF THESE SAMPLES ARE
<deb> true angel
<deb> kids pages
<beanjean1> BUT THE LAST TWO AREN'T ARE THEY?
<deb> no
<beanjean1> TRUE
<deb> http://photos.yahoo.com/jeanjohnson2002
<beanjean1> IF YOU'RE DOING IT FOR KIDS....
<RubberRabb> yeah, didn't get down that far
<beanjean1> OH GOOD
<Scout> I've always been such a picture taker that I always had to cram as many as possible on a page, so as not to have house overflowing with photos.
<beanjean1> PHEW
<beanjean1> CAUSE I DIDN'T THINK THEY WERE CUTE
<deb> lol
<angel> have never tried the elegant,or vintage..will have to try that..
<beanjean1> WELL SCOUT WE'VE PUT 9 PICS ON A PAGE AND MORE
<beanjean1> HI ALICIA
<deb> I must say her's are gorgeous
<AliciaG> howdy
<deb> http://photos.yahoo.com/jeanjohnson2002
<deb> hi alicia
<angel> me too.. have always loved taking pictures...
<beanjean1> OK
<neetzl> Well, every picture is not great and it takes discipline to throw the bad ones out so your whole house isn't overrun.
<RubberRabb> I never get people in my pictures
<LiBsTeR> the wedding ones are reallly nice, BJ
<beanjean1> OK
<RubberRabb> maybe that's why I dont' scrapbook
<beanjean1> THANKS LIB
<LiBsTeR> yw
<beanjean1> BACK TO MY POINT
<Scout> I almost cringe when I see her cutting the pictures into shapes, Itc. and I don't have that much discipline, Neetzl.
<beanjean1> (DID i HAVE ONE?)
<deb> lol
<LiBsTeR> lol
<deb> yes go bj
<beanjean1> YES
<angel> electric almost went out...
LiBsTeR hands bJ a point
<deb> we are all ears
<beanjean1> POOR ANGEL
<beanjean1> OK
<beanjean1> WHY I SCRAPBOOK
<angel> oh no.....
kat passes angel a candle
<deb> shhhhhh
<beanjean1> FIRST CAUSE IT'S ART THAT GETS SAVED AND DISPLAYED
<beanjean1> (MY CARDS SIGH, i THINK WERE GETTING THE FILE 13)
<beanjean1> NEXT, I SCRAP CAUSE MY DH DOES TOO
<deb> that's totally cool
<beanjean1> YES IT IS
<beanjean1> AND IT'S OUR WINTER HOBBY
<beanjean1> SO
<angel> cool
<deb> http://photos.yahoo.com/jeanjohnson2002
<beanjean1> THAT'S A COUPLE GOOD REASONS
<angel> hi brenda
<RubberRabb> so which pages are HIS?
<beanjean1> WELL NOT MANY OF THESE
<beanjean1> CAUSE HE GETS IMPATIENT WHEN I STAMP
<brenda> hello everyone
<deb> lol
<RubberRabb> ah he wouldn't give you copyright permission huh?
<kat> hi brenda
<deb> :)
<beanjean1> BUT HE CUT THE PICS FOR THE PROM PAGES
<deb> http://photos.yahoo.com/jeanjohnson2002
<beanjean1> OK LET'S START OUT WITH SOME SCRAPPING BASICS
<sparkle> 'cause he won't let you use the genesis <G>
<beanjean1> LOL SPARKLE THAT TOO
<beanjean1> CHOOSE 1-5 PICS
<beanjean1> THE SAME THEME
<beanjean1> AND THEN CHOOSE PAPER AND STAMPS TO COORDINATE
<beanjean1> EASY HUH?
<deb> no
<beanjean1> ANY QUESTIONS SO FAR?
<deb> not easy
<deb> lol
<RubberRabb> what about all that stuff the scrapbookers in our stamp stores get hot about> acid free and lignan whatever
<RubberRabb> what's the deal with that
<beanjean1> RR, I'M NOT TOO INTO ALLA THAT
<RubberRabb> oh good
<beanjean1> I FIGURE, IF IT LASTS 25 YEARS FINE
<RubberRabb> so it's not a requirement?
<LiBsTeR> lol
<RubberRabb> LOL
<beanjean1> BUT SOME ARE
<beanjean1> SO YOU HAVE TO DECIDE FOR YOURS
<RubberRabb> I'll stick with the non-fanatics, thanks
<beanjean1> SOME GET KINDA NASTY ABOUT IT
<beanjean1> I'M IN THE MIDDLE WITH IT
<LLB> fanatics about what (missed the first 20 minutes)
<beanjean1> I TRY TO USE THE ACID FREE, BUT DON'T GET UPSET IF I DON'T KNOW IF THE PAPER IS OR NOT
<RubberRabb> acid free and lignan (whatever that is) free
<kat> I saw they are now selling a hand soap so you can eliminate the acid on your hands
<sparkle> cak will have logs later for those who missed the first part
<beanjean1> AND I DIDN'T BUY THAT EITHER KAT
<kat> don't blame you
<AmyLPR> ligin is a chemimcal used in thepaper makeing process
<beanjean1> I THINK THAT YOU CAN'T ELIMINATE THE FUN
<RubberRabb> well I did see that thing on Carol Duvall this week about some cloth that will erase fingerprints from glossy photos--like the idea of that
<beanjean1> AND WORRYING ABOUT ACID FREE ETC, COULD DO THAT
<beanjean1> YES RR I SAW THAT TOO
<beanjean1> WONDER IF A SOFT TSHIRT FABRIC WOULD DO TAHT
<beanjean1> OK
<RubberRabb> no, I've tried
<beanjean1> HMMM
<LiBsTeR> some eyeglass wipe papers will work
<beanjean1> YES LIB GOOD IDEA
LiBsTeR was my tip for the year
<beanjean1> THAT'S WHAT I WAS THINKING, AND WHAT ABOUT CAMERA LENS CLOTH?
<kat> probably
<beanjean1> WORTH A TRY, ON A OLD PHOTO
<beanjean1> OK GIRLS
<beanjean1> LET'S ALL LOOK AT THE FIRST SET OF PAGES
<beanjean1> A LITTLE BACKGROUND....
<beanjean1> THESE PAGES WERE FOR MY NEICE'S BOOK
<beanjean1> I DID SEVERAL PAGES FOR HER FOR CHRISTMAS
<beanjean1> I DIDN'T THINK HER MOM (MY YOUNGEST SIS, WOULD EVER DO ANY)
<beanjean1> AND NOW GUESS WHAT?
<AmyLPR> that is adorable
<LiBsTeR> here mom is doing them
<beanjean1> MY LIL SIS IS SCRAPPING!

<beanjean1> WELL, TO ME IS WAS EASY TO CHOOSE THE PAPER
<beanjean1> (YES LIB)
<AmyLPR> i like the simplicity of the page
<beanjean1> THANKS AMY
<beanjean1> AND CHOOSE THE STAMPS
<AmyLPR> what ink do you use?
<beanjean1> I USED ENCORE METALLIC BLUE INK
<beanjean1> LOL GMTA
<AmyLPR> lol
<deb> did you emboss it?
<deb> it dried?
<beanjean1> NO, IT'S ON MATTE AND IT DRIED
<deb> k
<beanjean1> COOL HUH
<deb> yes
<beanjean1> THAT WAS A SHOT IN THE DARK
<beanjean1> WASN'T SURE IF IT WOULD WORK
<beanjean1> BUT IT DID
<beanjean1> WE HAVE A CRCLE CUTTER
<beanjean1> OOPS CIRCLE
<beanjean1> BUT WE BOUGHT THE LIGHTHOUSE MEMORIES CUTTER ABOUT A YEAR AGO
<beanjean1> AND WE BOTH LOVE IT
<beanjean1> WACKY WAGON USED TO SELL THEM, MAY STILL
<deb> I bet evo templates would work great for these too
<beanjean1> YES WE'VE USED EVO'S TEMPLATES TOO
<deb> all those nesting shapes and such
<beanjean1> YES
<beanjean1> OK ANY MORE QUESTIONS ABOUT THE SNOW ONES?
<AmyLPR> i like the cm cutters
<beanjean1> AMY, I'VE NEVER TRIED THEM...
<beanjean1> I'VE SEEN THEM DEMOED
<beanjean1> OK, SHOULD WE MOVE ON?
<LiBsTeR> sure
<deb> http://photos.yahoo.com/jeanjohnson2002
<RubberRabb> yes
<LiBsTeR> I like the December one
<deb> http://photos.yahoo.com/jeanjohnson2002
<LiBsTeR> like the houses
<beanjean1> THE TWO PAGES THAT ARE LABELED DECEMBER AND I BELIEVE OCTOBER...
<AmyLPR> i like the phots in the letters
<beanjean1> THOSE WERE FROM A CALENDER I DID FOR DH'S FAMILY FOR CHRISTMAS
<LiBsTeR> that too
<beanjean1> THANKS
<beanjean1> THOSE STAMPS ARE FROM IS IT JAYHAWK
<beanjean1> SHARON....
<beanjean1> BUT THAT'S WHY IT LOOKS LIKE IT DOES, IT WAS OUR DECEMBER CALENDER
<beanjean1> THOSE ARE ALL OF DH'S FAMILY MEMBERS IN THOSE PICS
<beanjean1> OK, NEST
<beanjean1> OOPS
<beanjean1> NEXT
<beanjean1> I STARTED DOING PAGES FOR THE NIECES AND NEPHEWS BOOKS INSTEAD OF CARDS
<beanjean1> EMMA IS MY NEW NIECE FROM CHINA
<kat> that's a great idea
<beanjean1> THANKS KAT
<beanjean1> THEIR MOMS THINK IT'S WONDERFUL
<beanjean1> CAUSE IF YOU HAVE A TODDLER YOU DON'T HAVE MUCH TIME TO SCRAP
<beanjean1> WB CHELS
<beanjean1> http://photos.yahoo.com/jeanjohnson2002
<Susie> I know!
<beanjean1> LOL
<beanjean1> I KNEW SOME OF YOU COULD RELATE
Chele had a lot more time to scrap before she started STAMPING *sheesh*
<beanjean1> OK I PUNCHED THE HEARTS AND THEN STAMPED THE LETTERS
<AliciaG> haha
<Susie> that too!
<beanjean1> YOU CAN'T SEE THE OTHER THING I STAMPED
<Susie> So is there an easy way to get the letters even?
<beanjean1> 12X12 IS NOT EASILY SCANNED
<beanjean1> SUSIE...I TRY FOR THE UNEVEN LOOK
<beanjean1> CAUSE I DON'T WANNA STRESS OVER GETTING THEM EVEN
<Susie> well that is easy. I have been selecting alphabets with that in mind.
<Susie> I was just wondering if there was a better way.
<RubberRabb> or stamp them first and then punch them out with the punch upside down so you can center it
<AmyLPR> i cheat and use sticker letters
<beanjean1> HAVE YOU TRIED THE CORRECTION TAPE STUFF?
<beanjean1> YOU KNOW THE WHITE TAPE THAT'S NOT REALLY STICKY?
<kat> yes
<beanjean1> I USE THAT TO MAKE A NOT PERMANENT LINE
<deb> http://photos.yahoo.com/jeanjohnson2002
<Susie> I was definitely considering cutting them out first, I have a Xyron. Although punches are even easier.
Chele uses the Chatterbox invisible ink pen to draw lines
<beanjean1> but IT'S HARD WHEN YOU HAVE A LOWER CASE 'p' FOR EX.
<beanjean1> LOL
<glitrbug> Oh smart BJ. that way you wouldn't be erasing pencil lines all the time
<beanjean1> YOU STAMP ON THE TAPE NOT THE PAPER
<beanjean1> YEP GLTRBUG
<Susie> sometimes you can spell a word out on the mount, but not if it uses the same letter .
<beanjean1> BUT, I USUALLY USE THAT WHEN I'M DOING THE STICKERS
<beanjean1> TRUE SUSIE
<Susie> So what do you do with the correction tape? Use it to line stuff up?
<beanjean1> YEP
<beanjean1> IF I WANT LETTERS IN A LINE
<beanjean1> PUT A PICE OF THAT DOWN...
<beanjean1> OOPS PIECE
<Susie> OK, have to give that a try. I velvet embossed a name, boy was THAT a pain.
Chele just remembered something -- brb
<beanjean1> OH DEAR THAT WOULD BE SUSIE
<beanjean1> OK, NOW ON TO OCTOBER....
<beanjean1> THIS WAS ANOTHER CALENDER PAGE
<beanjean1> THOSE LEAVES ARE FROM ENCHANTED INK
<beanjean1> (DO YOU ALL REMEMBER THE NOID?)
<deb> lol
<Susie> :-} Ooh, I ordered those. Have to try it.
<beanjean1> LOVE RED'S LEAVES
<beanjean1> USE THEM ALL THE TIME
<beanjean1> ANY QUESTIONS ON THIS?
RubberRabbit grins
<AmyLPR> nope
<beanjean1> OK, NOW FOR THE WEDDING PICS
<beanjean1> I WANTED TO TIE ALL OF THESE PAGES TOGETHER
<beanjean1> AND....IF YOU DON'T SCRAPBOOK YOU PROBABLY DON'T KNOW THAT THE PAPER
<AmyLPR> whate tgempl
<beanjean1> WELL LEAVES SOMETHING TO BE DESIRED
<AmyLPR> what template did you use?
<beanjean1> TEPLATE?
<beanjean1> OOPS
<beanjean1> TEMPLATE?

<beanjean1> OH THAT'S THE LIGHTHOUSE CUTTER

<beanjean1> AND ONE LITTLE FLOWER
<glitrbug> Oh my goodness
<beanjean1> BUT........TA DA! I GOT WHAT I WANTED

<beanjean1> I DREW A WAVY LINE
<LiBsTeR> I love that vine look- really nice
<beanjean1> WITH ONE OF THOSE WAVY BORDER THINGS
<beanjean1> AND THEN STAMPED MY HEART OUT
<beanjean1> STARTED WITH THE LEAVES
<glitrbug> good way to let off steam
<beanjean1> ADDED THE FLOWERS
<beanjean1> ON ONE OF THE PAGES, I STAMPED AROUND THE WORDS TOO
<beanjean1> SORTA LIKE A FRAME
<beanjean1> NEXT
<beanjean1> ZACH'S B-DAY
<glitrbug> The flowerpots look dimentional. Did you use the mounting tape stuff?
<beanjean1> HEY DH CUT ALL THE STUFF FOR THIS PAGE....

<Susie> your mean the lines?
<beanjean1> YES, THAT'S ONE STAMP

<beanjean1> JUST DEPENDS ON WHAT I'M DOING
<beanjean1> OK AMY
<deb> do you xyron?
RubberRabbit comes back in saying not nice things
<beanjean1> WELL, SUSIE i DON'T GET PICKY ABOUT THE ACID FREE
<beanjean1> SOMETIMES DEB

<LiBsTeR> yw
<beanjean1> WB RR
LiBsTeR holds her ears from Rabbit's sayings
<Susie> I think you could drive yourself nuts over acid free. I want to watercolor but they don't specifically say acid free.
<beanjean1> SUSIE, YES THAT'S WHY I DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT
<beanjean1> I DO WHAT I WANT TO DO
<glitrbug> e-mail the manufacturer
<Susie> I think acid free paper might be enough. Would buffer the media then.
<beanjean1> I FIGURE IN 50 YEARS WHO THE HECK CARES
<kat> true bj
<glitrbug> Well, you will have grand kids
<Susie> I suspect many things weren't very acidic, but people weren't nuts over it ten years ago.
<beanjean1> AND IN 25 MY EYESIGHT'LL BE WORSE, AND I WON'T NOTICE
<glitrbug> they will care
<RubberRabb> well most of the color photos won't be in good shape in 40 years anyway
<LiBsTeR> I think it is too easy to talk the fun right out of the thing, and that is why you do it in the first place- fun
<beanjean1> EXACTLY RR
