On a totally different note, i do have to say since starting the MeTAV, there have been a few nights I have had to secretly cuss you out. The alphabet rolls and rolls through my head and I can't. stop. thinking. of nouns. and adjectives.

cathyzielske
Ella is a great idea. The whole ebook thing!
Jenn_from_MN
another book would be awesome - the other two are read almost daily around here!
studioLA
so im here procrasinating lol
cookingmylife
Sounds like you writers..Ali, Renee e.g ..need a personal publisher
cathyzielske

creativechristine
how about a new book published through ella? :)
ConnieC has joined the chat janclyons
Question about using kits like the SC one this month: I think of you as someone who can do stunning layouts with just cardstock. How do you approach a layout when you have a kit of materials in front of you?
cathyzielske
the nice thing about NOT being employed full time? changing your mind!
ameyer has joined the chat terrijohnson
good question janc
cathyzielske
jan, i almost freaked out intitially
tammyeberhard has joined the chat HeatherC
Do you have a "studio" to work at home or is it just on your kitchen table?
cathyzielske
but the minute i saw the products i had layouts in mind
*christiew* has joined the chat cathyzielske
and it just went from there.
heidikuz
I still say you should do digital designs and sell them on your website
Beth Ann
have you done any additional pages from the kit?
karen malloy
sc makes it so easy
cathyzielske
i only need a few things on a page: words/photos and a couple of embellishments tops
HeatherC
did you have the pictures printed or did you have to go search for them
dixiep has joined the chat Beth Ann
i wanna see more!
studioLA
i liked what you did with the traditional papers etc..i know you do alot digi..and honestly, i'm alittle freaked out that more and more people/designers are going that route
cathyzielske
i do have a "studio" of sorts: it is my dining room
cathyzielske
no one eats there, trust me
cathyzielske
i sort of took it over
tjcarvo
lol!!
cathyzielske
Beth, i haven't yet, but... i have the product sitting on my table....
cathyzielske
beckoning to me
cookingmylife
Ya do what ya gotta do Cathy
HeatherC
your vacation -- does everywhere have strange/cool statues to photograph or just MN?
Beth Ann
do it do it!
nerdgirl has left the chat debbiehomick
my studio is my dining room and we DO eat in there LOL
studioLA
not sure how that can still be as satisfying as traditional SB'ing- dont you miss the fun of getting your hands dirty?
khaworth has joined the chat
cathyzielske
i love digi hybrid the most
msicybird
Would love to stay and lurk...but silly me, thought when I saw chat...it meant listen. Scrap buddy just arrived for a night of scrapping. Have fun ladies!
jennyvanoort
i dont miss the mess
Jenn_from_MN
Question about your family vacation around MN - how did you plan everything? Did you plan the whole thing ahead or just decided to fly by the seat of your pants?
kelleighr
hybrid is a lot of fun!!
cathyzielske
i think i always have been hybrid though. a bit from the computer, a bit from real world
HeatherC
My scraproom is away from my computer -- so hybrid is a pain
cathyzielske
jenn, my hubby planned the whole thing
cathyzielske
all of it
amandamartig has left the chat Jenn_from_MN
He IS a great hubby!
HeatherC
I just do digi for my desktop and to send quick pages to the grandparents. Also helps me practice design
karen malloy
how great!
cathyzielske
right down to what time we'd eat lunch. loved that
Jenn_from_MN
OMG!
studioLA
i guess i could alittle hybrid but not a whole lot...
heidikuz
If my hubby planned a vacation I would seriously die of shock
karen malloy
i am planning one right now and it is not fun
stenzela
Hi Cathy, how come no news from the State Fair this year?
rnvt19 has joined the chat cathyzielske
oh, i would never plan a vaca
karen malloy
so many decisions
cookingmylife
I never did paper and cannot fathom trying to color those itty bits AND cut them out.
cathyzielske
stenzela... i just didn't enjoy the fair this year
cookingmylife
why
jennyvanoort
really? not even the cheese curds?
cathyzielske
i think because i just got back from vacation
cathyzielske
no
cathyzielske
no curds
JennO has joined the chat cathyzielske
i'm a fried green tomato fan
cookingmylife
good girl
Jenn_from_MN
I think I am taking my family around MN next summer - I like to micro plan too ;-)
karen malloy
me too
cathyzielske
they are my fave at the fair
Katie Scott has joined the chat Beth Ann
i knew we would get to food eventually
terrijohnson
OMG you have fried green tomatoes at your fair?
roxygirl
hey cathy - do you do all your photo printing from your home printer? just curious about that. if you ever have them printed through a service like mpix or something - do you do the layout before then halt everything until you get it back? i juggle with that - but it seems like that would kill the inspiration flow. so i usually stick with my printer here at home. but I'm sure i'm sacrificing quality in that respect
cookingmylife
obviously I agree about food
karen malloy
our fair was not fun last year so didn't go this year
cathyzielske
roxy, i use shutterfly for my prints, but
Jenn_from_MN
I love mpix
HeatherC
We used to eat sausage sandwiches outside of the pig barn at the county fair as a kid -- what a memory!
cathyzielske
when i'm printing specifically for a layout, i'll often print at home
karen malloy
i'd like to know if you have all your photos organized, say like stacy j
cathyzielske
i don't scrapbook every day, so... i'm able to manage with inks and what not!
cathyzielske
karen, sort of
Beth Ann
i need pics first or i don't get anywhere
cathyzielske
i mean, i have her system in place,
studioLA
i love her concept- its me thats a procrasinator! lol
karen malloy
i am trying to get all mine organized. hard to try to get 20
Brianaj has joined the chat cathyzielske

kelleighr
how do you work it?
ameyer has left the chat corlee
When you print embellishements like your word blocks - do you use any method to try to make them match existing cardstock you are using in the layout
carolynd
How do you use the LOM system?
cathyzielske
Well, all of my prints from the last year are in envelopes
cathyzielske
on my shelf
HeatherC
I am trying to get my LOM set up, but I would have to stop current projects to do so
cathyzielske
haha
studioLA

cathyzielske
but
cathyzielske

studioLA
good system C hahaha
karen malloy

cathyzielske
and i love the system
cathyzielske
when i do a page
cathyzielske
i know exactly where it should go
stephanie howell has joined the chat roxygirl
you know - i suppose i could print out a less nice photo on basic copy paper as a place holder until i get the goods back from the printer - anyone tried that?
melanie louette has joined the chat karen malloy
took the class in 08 but didn't keep it up
karen malloy
working on it though
studioLA
it is nice when you can find THAT photo
lisav has left the chat terrijohnson
how do I find out about the system?
cathyzielske
karen, it's a lot of work!
HeatherC
I like the system, I just need to stop making pages and mini books and do it
cathyzielske
worth it
karen malloy
i do find it makes scrapping more efficient
cathyzielske
but a lot of work
may_f
Cathy I'd like to know if perhaps you have a zoolander inspired page (or heck - whole class) in future for us...
HeatherC
read Photo Freedom to find out the system
cathyzielske

stephanie howell

roxygirl
good question jennyv - i wondered that too!
cathyzielske
i actually get a little nervous writing about being on a vacation
jennyvanoort
why?
Jennifer L has left the chat cathyzielske
because anyone who reads it could say, Oh, i bet she's got a nice computer at home
creativechristine
do you use your blog as a journal and refer back to it when you're working on your scrapbook layouts?
cathyzielske
haha
Katie Scott
write about vacations after the fact
roxygirl
understandable - someone could break in your house right?
cathyzielske
let's go STEAL IT!
Marianne Levy has joined the chat cathyzielske

corlee
When you print elements for your pages such as alpha blocks - do you use a system to match cardstock you are using on the layout or just eyeball
melanie louette
haha! Yeah.
stephanie howell
cathy- i was just speaking to my husband about that. we have a friend who was talking about how much she disliked her husband's coworkers (army) and jimmy said people could lose their jobs over spouses blogs
heidikuz
Do people ever recognize you or your family when you are out and about?
cathyzielske
my system to match? I use Pantone books
HeatherC
they say that is the problem with Facebook...
terrijohnson
I know I am always filtering my blog posts because of that
cathyzielske
and tweak a bit from there
cathyzielske
it's always a bit of trial and error
cathyzielske
people don't recognize me
Jenn_from_MN
Lies - I recognize you!
Jenn_from_MN
:-)
danascraps
how can people not recognize you?
cookingmylife
gotta deal with the cat...i would recognize you!
kmsjohnson
What is Pantone books?
cathyzielske
i mean, it's not like I invented time travel
roxygirl
speaking of pantone books - i have a fan deck but no idea how to imput the data into PSE or CS4 - wanna do a post on how to do that?
stephanie howell

ooh. I hate flying too. But I won't stop travelling b/c of it. But don't fly with me, it's embarrassing. ;p
cathyzielske
stephanie, i don't know
cathyzielske
because she was a hard headed punk kid, let me tell you
HeatherC
what is your view on scrapbooking publications -- do you think they will all go (magazines)?
cathyzielske
but now she is awesome
jashepler has joined the chat roxygirl
yes - the pantone class sounds like a dandy idea corlee
cathyzielske
i think magazines are dying
stephanie howell
that's how my daughter, harper is...already showing some attitude. but she's such a good girl.
cathyzielske
not completely
cathyzielske
but
cathyzielske
print is dying because of all of our new media
cathyzielske
look at your local paper
stephanie howell
i hope they turn out like your sweet girl. i look forward to that.
cathyzielske
it's getting smaller and smaller and smaller
cathyzielske
niche publications are going out left and right
dawns
and smaller...and smaller....
stephanie howell
my grandfather was a newspaper man, breaks my heart that they will be gone one day
cathyzielske
people want info faster and faster
HeatherC
I am a tradionalist -- I love my computer, but I cannot curl up with my desktop
Beth Ann
blogs are where it is...and ventures like ella - which I love
cathyzielske
and more affordably
stephanie howell
exactly heather.
cathyzielske
save money, and time
Jenn_from_MN
I agree with HeatherC!
cathyzielske
i love magazines myself
jennyvanoort
i love the internet but man, i still love to hold something in my hands to look at it.
stephanie howell
or in the bathtub
cathyzielske
love to touch paper
cathyzielske
and smell it
stephanie howell
i love the smell of books.
Beth Ann
me too - I adore paper
cathyzielske
me too
stephanie howell
i will NEVER stop buying books or going to libraries.
dawns
ditto
tammyeberhard
especially to smell the paper, nothing like a new book
Beth Ann
same here
debbiehomick
ooh nothing better tnan the smell of a new magazine!
may_f
Cathy- what scrapbook products that are new (or coming soon) are you looking forward to playing with?
melanie louette
it's true. Print media is on the way out, as much as I hate the idea. Tonight at my son's meet the teacher night, they told us we will now be getting 'e report cards' wtf?!.
