Oh I just managed to take a peep as mumsnetter has now been added as a member....looks like my memberships not there anymore, as I cant find it in the membership file???
AQ ~ going for the minimalistic look are we??? Only joking...hope you find what you want for your CJ whilst on your shopping trip Your first LO is fabby...I love B&W.
YG ~ Love the shape and colour of your CJ. The photos of your DD's in the tag album are beautiful.
Katz ~ Your journal is lovely and bright...I really like the journalling in the circles. You have some great LO's and your DD looks so cute.
Pecka ~ Your journal is lovely....Ive got a thing about pink atm...like the fibres too
Hausfrau ~ Love the rustic colours you have used. The Nannas Sunflower LO is scrummy.
UCM ~ I hope your CJ comes back with loads of great receipes...really like the papers you have used to cover the journal.
Dingle ~ Its fabby....Ive got a really big thing going on for pink and chocolate brown ATM...love it loads. The charms are really cute too. Make sure they are attached well because the journals can take quite a bashing in the post.
Just a couple of tips to pass on...
When you post its a good idea to
- send recorded delivery....journals do get lost!
- wrap the journal in a plactic bag or wrap well in bubble wrap. Then cut two pieces of thick card stock (an old card board box cut up is fine)....use the card to support the CJ and stop it from being bent in the post.
Ive heard some horror stories of packets being damaged and CJ's getting wet and badly damaged by Royal Mail.
Photos....
The best way to take photos of your Cj entries is..
Blue tack them to a white background outside on a bright day....not in direct sunshine but soemwhere that has good lighting. If you blue tack them to the wall at your shoulder hight and set you camera on best photo option you will get some really fantastic shots.
If your image is a little dark or you want to crop, straighten or highlight colour then you can use the free down load package called Picasa2. Its a great programme for making minor alterations which will improve the quality of your shots.
Its such a shame when you have worked hard to make an entry and the photograph doesnt show the detail because of bad lighting.
HTH.
Have fun.
