Mel, try doing a google search on free fonts & you'll get heaps. Otherwise, send me an email & I can email you some of my fonts....

Sarah - can you email some to me?? Pretty please *batters eyelids*
Tiff - LOL @ giving you an excuse to be messy.
Sooooo annoyed with Neil last night. I am working on a double page of my preggy belly and he went and put some stuff right on top of it! The stuff had a bit of water on the bottom of it too!! It hasn't made much of a mess - just wrinkled up the paper a little but bloody hell! He should be more careful! He was in bed asleep before I noticed so he is definitely going to cop a spray before this day is out!! [-X
Just did another three pages after nothing for over two weeks. I want to get all of my photos scrapped before Sunday so I can show off Zander's album to everyone at his Christening.
I'm the same Tiff, I am a very messy scrapper! And yeah I like the way you put it - messy & scrapping gives you an excuse to be that way =D>
Deb I'm just doing your email now. I have 1500 fonts in a zip file somewhere bt can't find it, so I'll send you what I can ntil Aaron gets home to track it down for me.
Thanks matey!
I just found some fonts and downloaded them and then discovered that I don't have winzip so I am downloading that too.
Hopefully I will be able to figure out how to use the files, LOL
Winzip is easy peasy - once it's installed you just have to right click the file you want to open & click "extract to...." then tell it where you want it to go. Generally I think it's windows\fonts
Just went through my photos & there are 12 more pages I want to do before Sunday. Ok well 12 more themes I want to do, cos some might be double pages as well.
Wow! Sounds like you will be one mad scrapper this week, Sarah! That's a lot of pages to get done. Get crackin' girl!
Just have to check Deb & Mel did you get my email? Outlook said something strange so I wanted to make sure you both got it.....
hi sarah - no email yet
Okay I'll try again, thanks Mel.
Good luck on getting all your pages done Sarh! Are you working this week? And hope the Christening is wonderful, I am sure everybody will be in awe of all the work you have done.
Tiff- I lol at the messy scrapper comment, I would be too if I ever got the chance to do anything! Arron is out tonight cos he needs to be on the other side of the city early in the morning and now after fighting and arguing with Joshua since 7.30pm about going to bed i am exhausted. Not to mention I have been out today and got home and bathed the babies and cooked a really hard dinner (numberghetti LOL)
I really should prep some pics for the pages I want to do but.....too stuffed again ..
Cheers michelle
I was like that for two weeks as well Michelle - too tired to get anything done, but yesterday I decided I had better get cracking! I'm working Friday all day then Saturday 7am - 12pm, plus mm's group is here on Wednesday so really I have today & Friday to get things finished. PLUS get the house into some sort of reasonable order. I certainly have my work cut out for me there!
Michelle - that does sound like a complicated dinner ;)
Sarah - wow... you will have to squeeze a lot in!!
Got the email... thank-ya!!!!
Deb- it was lucky I allowed five mins to cook it or the kids would have really missed out big time LOL, the funny thing is tinned spag and simialr are there fav foods in the world, who am I to stand in the way of the kids fav dinner LOL
Sarah- I hope you did ok today and are at least halfway there, sounds like you are going to be flat out all week, but you get lots done when you have a deadline, I always work well when I have a time limit.
Best wishes michelle
Yay. I bought the stuff for 3 more pages. I'm doing the front page for the album. I have a cute photo of Jenna in hospital in her crib, all wrapped up in a pink starry bunny rug. Well I stole the bunny rug, becasue it just really became Jennas, and I have scanned the material and printed it out, so that will be my highlight paper. I'm so excited!! and I'm cutting out big white stars and putting them on too. It should look really neat. Yayayayay. I lvoe scrapping. When I get time to play!
Fi
michelle - at least the 5mins to cook the kids dinner didn't cut into your scrapping time!!
fi - that's a great idea to scan in fabric :)
sarah - thanks again for the font links - they were great
i got a huge box yesterday (pink of course) to store all the things im accumlating for scrapbooking - im hoping to get another page done by friday - i have so many i want to do just need a few more hours in the day!
does anyone else plan their photos before they actually taken them or is it just silly ol me lol.
i was doing a page the other night and was thinking of lani's party when i found a balloon stencil then i started planning a page for her party (which we are having on sunday) we are getting 50 pink helium balloons and we will have them in the playroom, so i was thinking i can take a photo of her holding onto all the balloons (sheesh hope they don't lift her up into the air lmao) then i can use my balloon stencil and do heaps of balloons on the page with the piccy.
i also find now when we go somewhere i true to colour co-ordinate the kids lmao so i get some good shots for scrapbooking and when i do take the photos i take about 6 of each pose at different angles - omg i need a digital camera it is costing me a fortune in film lmao
just thought i would share my crazy mind
mooshie - lol - i think i have your brain too!! although i'm only a week into the scrapbooking craze i am planning how to take photos etc - put eliana in blue for fathers day so it would match a blue page! i have been going through all my photos of eliana that i want to use & grouping them together - i want to update my digital camera to one that you can take a lot of photos at once when you keep your finger down on the button - im having a scrapbooking party here on saturday & can't wait - im so excited like a little kid!!
Michelle,
You are SO not crazy. I plan things around pages and I plan my pages in advance sometimes for months in advance. Some others just come to me when I start but others buzz around there for a while.
melissa
are you having the creative memories workshop, try and get 8 people there cause then you get your album for free i think (you get a percentage off for each person there whether they buy anything or not - i am thinking 8 and its free) the albums are so good and they also have pages in them to which is great. i have the blue one for jay and the lilac one for lani - the lilac is really lovely.
also a little tip on your pages which my friends and i do - as you know creative memories are a little pricey and if you want to do pages other than white - say in the black or the natural go halves in a pack with a friend that's what we do and saves us a fortune.
okay now i am going on like crap lmao, i am thinking cause the house is messy i am not going to clean until the day b4 lani's party so am wasting time.
might go and plan some more pages
Fi - that's a fantastic idea to scan the material of Jenna's wrap. Can't wait to see the finished product.
Michelle - naah.. you're not crazy - just creative!!
Yay - finished jennas front pge, and I love it! The fabric turned out really well. And I got anotehr page done today. 2 pages in one day. Amazing!! PLus got heaps of other stuff done too - except cleaning. Didn't get any of that done. Ooops......
Happy scrapping all.
Fi
Good job, Fi!
LOL - cleaning can wait!! - mine always does ;)
mooshie - yep im having a creative memories party & mainly did it to get the free album but the consultant told me that things changed at the beginning of sept so it is now sales based - she should have told me that before i organised everyone - it didn't say on any of the pamphlets she gave me that i wouldn't get an album so i emailed CM head office but haven't heard back - my friend got her album half price so i wouldnt mind that as they cost so much! but either way im still looking forward to catching up with friends & seeing what they create
scrapping is so more productive than housework at least you can hold up a page & see what you've done - DP nevers notices any housework i do - don't know who he thinks does it
thats interesting melinda
i must remember to ask my friend who is a consultant - she gets back from hols in a week and a bit. doesn't help you tho does it - bummer what sales figures do you need to get the album free. i think it would be hard that way cause for newies they sort of want to just do a page first and then see what to do i know i did this then a couple of weeks later purchased the $300 kit with most of the stuff, and also with the people that have got the stuff they might only get bits and pieces. hmmm i must ask my friend what sort of sales she gets on home classes, i know she does quite well on her workshops cause all the addicts like me always manage to spend spend spend.
oh and i total agree - housework can wait till all scrapping is finished lmao.
How is the scrapping going Sarah?
Michelle- I took pics on Father's day for the "Father's Day Bocce Game" I took ind shots of each person bowling, pics of the balls where they lay, incl Josh's in the gutter, pics of the spectators LOL, it is almost madness, I also see something happening and direct the kids to do things I want pics of LOL
Mel- hope you do get the album for free still, hopefully your friends spend up LOL, I hate that though, cos I don't want people to spend up big just so I get something, makes me feel like a tight arse.
Michelle
5 pages to go.......
Sarah hope you got it all done!
No scrapping for me this weekend just lots of bday party pics taken that the way I'm going will never see a page LOL
We posted your stuff yesterday Deb!
Cheers michelle
Thanks, Michelle!!
LOL... maybe you will get to do some more pages when the kids have all grown up and moved out??;)
Yup got it finished & everyone loved it :D Aaron even took it to work yesterday to show off cos one of the ladies there is a scrapper too!
That's so good Sarah I bet you felt good too!
Deb I think that's the key, the kids will have to grow up.
Awww... Sarah! How nice of Aaron to show off your hard work! Yay for getting it done! Neil asked me the other day where I keep Gabby's scrap book because he couldn't find it. He wanted to show it off to his mate. I was quite chuffed because he doesn't even look through her photo albums let alone pay attention to that sort of thing. He flicks through it every now and then. Makes me feel proud!
mooshie - i didn't get an album didn't even get a discount - needed $200 of sales to get 10% - so im now trying to find an album - the scrapbooking party went well & we all had fun just wished i had gotten an album
i have just done a double page of eliana in pink - i took photos of her at 2 weeks old draped on pink satiny fabric - forgot how tiny she looked
hope everyone is busy scrapping :D
Shane pulls ours out too and shows it to people as well Deb. I have to say it makes me feel kinda proud.
I just bought an 8x8 album for mum. I'll do a few pages before I go over, and then just send her more as I do them. Like 5 pages for her birthday etc.
That's excellent Fi! And you should definitely be proud of your album. What I have seen was awesome - far better than what I could ever do.
Nothing sweeter than the proud Daddy showing off his wife's work. WTG Girls.
Mel that is totally ripped off I reckon, what a crock, and I can see that less people will have demo's with the incentive gone. Most people just have the demo for the album. Oh well, the pages sound lovely! I was looking at pics of Jessica the other day at 2 mths and couldn't believe how tiny she was.
Cheers Michelle
They grow pretty quickly, hey Michelle??
I got the vellum yesterday too. Thanks for that! I have already printed out some stuff and just have to add it to the pages. It was exciting to start using some of the fonts that I have downloaded (I have become obsessed like you, Sarah!).
Mel - that's a bugga about not getting the album! I am with Michelle, they make it too hard sometimes.
yeah i'm so against buying anything from the creative memories consultant now cause she should have been more up front with me in the first place - my friend & i would have ordered heaps but instead i'm getting things cheaper on ebay & hopefully will luck out on an album
i need to ask a question about pens - i have been too scared to use anything yet as the consultant kept plugging the benefits of CM pens - is there any kind of special pens i should be looking for? i had a quick look at some the other day in Big W with their scrapbooking stuff but really have no idea & i don't want to ruin pages by using the wrong type of pens!
thanks for your help :D
Great Deb, that was quick. Did your ink dry ok, or did you write on it?
Mel- we sell Zig writers and we have been assured by the rep these are photo safe. They are what I use too. They retail for around $3.95 a pen. We have some but they aren't listed atm! I will let you know when they are on if you like so you can go take a look. We have been starting them on auction at $2.00. Prob won't have them listed till next Tuesday I'd say.
Nothing special happening over my way, I think I need a scrapbooking fairy to do some pages for me, or I could try sleep scrapping!
LOL @ sleep scrapping, Michelle. Yep, printed on the vellum and it dried ok. I was quite impressed actually. I set the printer for transperancy so that's definitely the go.
Just wanted to let you know Mel, I listed some pens on Tuesday, they go off in one week, email me for my ebay user id if you are interested in taking a look! Same goes for anybody else who is interested.
I actually got off here last night and cropped 8 sets of pics ready for scrapping. This is a good thing for me, cuts down my time on the scrapping end. We haven't scrapped at mum's for over a month. Must try to organise it for this Monday night, at least I am sure to get something done then. Jordan was asking today about her starting scrapbooking, but I don't want to give her any of my pics !LOL. I will develop the film she took and hopefully there is some pics on there she can do something with!
Cheers michelle
