Hi Julia
ReplyDeleteAnother stunning card hope everything goes to for tomorrow Tracy w x
Morning Julia, A lovely card, especially the background you have created.
ReplyDeleteIt must be really frustrating for you when C&C keep swapping your hours etc, not to mention the sample making and prepping, my heart goes out to you. Try to have some 'me' time for relaxation, if you can.
Lots of love from Patricia xx
Morning Julia

Good morning Julia today's card is gorgeous I actually have those dies so I will give this a go. Wow you are busy it takes ages to make things so I don't know how you manage to prep with so little time. Did someone drop out, is that why you have an extra show? Love Jackie
ReplyDeleteMorning Julia and all Watsonettes. Oh Julia, I cant even begin how frustrated you must be when CC change things around, they obviously dont appreciate how much is entailed for you to give us the BEST show of the day ! Im looking forward to sitting down and taking in all you show us (and sky+ so I can watch all over again) hope you are with a nice presenter Julia, as there are occassions I record so I can fast forward just to watch your demo and not have to listen to the presenter - maybe I shouldnt say that, but I dare say Im NOT alone : ) your demo's are too good to miss and have so many of your's and Sue's shows stored for future reference as my stash grows I can find the relevant program.
ReplyDeleteI think I should apply to be your home cleaner and during a quick coffee break you could give me tuition and let me play with your toy's as Im an ex Brummie too.
I must stop babbling on now as Im annoying myself let alone the other Wattsonettes !
Take care all.

My goodness you have to be flexible! Lovely card, I used my holly motifs properly for the first time yesterday, much more versatile than I had thought and now another way you have come up with, will set mt recorder for your shows and hope you are on.......
ReplyDeleteMorning Julia,,
ReplyDeleteGreat Christmas card.
Love the listed items used.
Have set my recorder for tomorrow. X
Hi Julia. Lovely card. The glitter really pops and as usual you have made a great bow. I hope the shows, when ever they end up being, go well and you enjoy them. I think I will just record all day in case they change their minds again! Safe journey. Take care.
ReplyDeleteHi Julia,
ReplyDeleteUnusual colours for a Christmas card but I still like it. I agree with Steph above. More demos and less presenting would be brilliant.
Much love,

Hi Julia
ReplyDeletelove today's card and I have these dies. Yippee. My my you are a busy lady. I bet you don't know if your coming or going. I have just be and set the recorder in case I forget. I hope you have a nice presenter as well Julia. As a few weeks ago Jo Channon was on demonstrating the new Spellbinder D Lites on a special. She started show us how to how to make a card out of a Spellbinder die that on the show. Anyhow she started to show us, the presenter was reading out emails and we didn't see a close up of what she was doing. and was even talking over her at other times. hope it's Dean you are in with as you get on so well.
Hi Julia, Nice card but I'm not a green fan I'm afraid. Dont know how you cope with all the changes, they sure mess you about!!! I'll be watching.
ReplyDeletelovely card xx hazel
ReplyDeleteHi Julia. Another lovely card - where do you get your ideas from? Wish I had as much creativity as you. Good luck with the shows, I shall be recording them as usual. x
ReplyDeleteMorning Julia,
ReplyDeleteMy they do mess you around on C&C don't they. Love the design of your card but the green glitter is a bit too bright for me. Good job we like different things.

Love everything about this card Julia, will be watching tomorrow and at the weekend
ReplyDeleteReally like this card,love the holly and poinsettia dies.Look forward to watching you tomorrow and over the weekend-do appreciate you getting up at "stupid o'clock".
ReplyDeleteFabulous card as always Julia. I have the dies and the embossing folder so will be giving this design a try. I'll be recording your shows so that I don't miss anything - if I watch them live either the grandchildren arrive unannounced or someone phones and I miss all the best bits! Pat x
ReplyDeleteAnother great card Julia. Thanks for letting us know about the extra shows. Will go and get the recorder. Kind regards Joanne K x
ReplyDeleteHello Julia, Really like this card, love the colours and the poinsettia. Take care of yourself and don't work too hard, you will get there. Looking forward to the show.
ReplyDeleteTake care.

Hi Julia, lovely card and colours, will be recording your shows thanks for letting us know they have changed, they do mess you about love Jean Z xx
ReplyDeleteHi dear Wattsonettes, how chuffed are we to see 'our leader' back : ) and how chuffed are us Wattsonettes that we can hit the red button : ) its a shame the 'Chief' of CC doesn't tune in to these blogs. These shows are to sell sell sell, yes we appreciate that, but a lot of us love the tips and help that both Julia and Sue (bow down we are not worthy) give us, some of us are still growing into crafters, most presenters are brilliant and soo funny - yes Deano, but some think they are queen and know best, some patronise our demonstrators and at least.1 just bugs ! Why should we miss out on tips, and help by fast forwarding just so we dont have to put up with the presenters that have been on other channels and think they have all the best knowledge, when all we want to do is watch and learn AND enjoy. So Julia, Im hoping and praying that you work with someone who is enjoyable to watch and listen to and makes your stressful week worth doing, as this is CC anx not Ch 640 !
ReplyDeleteSorry to vent but we care about our crafting hero's and they need to be treated well and professionally, not 'just another demonstrator'
crafty hugs to everyone. Stay safe. Stay warm.

Loving all your latest cards, we can tell you really love your job but I should imagine most of the shows are "swan" shows....paddling like mad under the water but serene and calm on the surface. Well done Julia. Mabex
ReplyDeleteOh how I love Lancashire steph and agree with everything she says Julia today's card is so beautiful imagine receiving that at Christmas all my cards are for cancer research but one day ill make one like yours Julia don't get stressed love you xx
ReplyDeleteA really lovely card Julia, especially the glitter holly and the sentiment. So sorry you are being messed about with your shows though but at least you know we are all supporting you. Best wishes Jackie D
ReplyDeleteHi Julia, I love all the different shades of green on today's card and the new (to me) mask.
ReplyDeleteThanks for giving out days and times, so i won't miss your shows. Don't work too hard.
