Yup - I’m definitely in the Christmas mood … so I got a whole kit done today! “Ho Ho Ho”  is now live at E-scapeandscrap, but I’ve put it in for our “Nifty 99″. This weekend, it will be on sale for 99 cents!! Come Monday it will be back to it’s regular price of $4.50.

I love the shades of green in this kit — I may have to make a couple of Quick Pages, or a Mini-Album with it. I want to play with this kit!! 

Thanks for stopping by today 

I was making some quick Christmas tags yesterday, using just “odds and sods” from my studio. I get such a kick out of taking a few scraps, and making something I can use.

Thanks for stopping by today! 

Freshly uploaded to the boutique at E-scapeandscrap - eight 6×6″ pages to create a mini album or brag book; a Christmas Magic Mini Album.

Created with (mostly) my Christmas Magic kit - also in the boutique.

My friend Sue made me a wonderful paper-scrapped Christmas album, and I put a selection of our 2007 holiday pictures in it after Christmas. Then, it was packed away with the decorations. What fun it was to find it when digging through the boxes this year! I have put it on the coffee table for the family to enjoy as they visit over the holidays. Sue’s gift inspired me to create this little album so you could do the same.

I was waiting to post this LO, as I wanted permission from these friends to put their pictures online. This is from a fun weekend visit we had back in July.

YAY - I picked up my computer from the repair shop yesterday, and it’s working like a charm. It is such a relief to have it back and functioning properly. It was worth the drive downtown to pick it up, and as soon as I back up my recent files (and digi downloads ) I have some designing to do!

I’m afraid I can’t remember where I found these cute felt “Santa Hat” pieces, but I bought them to make some cards. My friend Debbie, however, suggested I make some TAGS with them. This is what I came up with. I think I will package them up in a cello bag with a pretty ribbon. They’ll make a cute gift!

I have just put my 2009 Calendar Pack into the boutique. Included are each month as both a transparent .png, and a .jpg image. Oh, and I tossed in the 12×12″ background as a bonus.

My CT Terry N created this SWEET Layout of her pup, using my Christmas Magic kit (available HERE). You can see Terry’s full credits HERE.

I really like how she used the felt trees, and then inserted the photo into the journal box.

My DH took my computer BACK to My Mac Dealer yesterday (what a sweetie), and they were able to fix it right away. Well, not right away as in ‘while you wait’, or ‘while you are even still downtown’ - more like as soon as he got into a meeting, they called to say it was ready. So there was no way he could get back there and I had appointments myself and couldn’t pick it up. I am going to drive downtown on Monday and bring it back home — it will be SO good to have it working the way it should!

Thanks for stopping by today - have a WONDERFUL weekend.

I have always loved the look of dry embossing on glossy cardstock…

Too Cute to Spook … little Shae on her First Halloween!

You can find my Halloween Quick Pages HERE …

Guess what? I discovered late last night, what was wrong with my computer!!!!  Whether or not I can fix it myself remains to be seen … but KNOWING what it is, is half the battle. Kelsey steered me to the Apple Support Forums, and this is what I found:   “After performing an upgrade installation (the default type) of Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard, an administrator account may change to a standard one.”

So I go check and YES — I’m just listed as STANDARD, and there is no ADMIN. Without ‘Admin’ privileges - one can’t install updates or programs, or make any major changes to a computer system. Hopefully a quick call to My Mac Dealer will help me resolve this without having to bring my iMac all the way downtown. 

If any of you have this issue, where your Administrator user changes to Standard, here is the link for suggested resolution:  CLICK HERE 

Wish me luck - Thanks for stopping by today! 

Woo Hoo - I told you I was on a roll!  Freshly uploaded to the E-scapeandscrap boutique — a sweet little Christmas Kit. “Christmas Magic” can be found HERE.

My computer is still having issues. It looks like I am going to have to take it BACK into the shop for them to look at it. I find this very frustrating  - AACK.  So - if I’m not posting for a few days, you’ll know why. Hopefully they can repair what needs to be done as quickly as they did the last fix!
