Default How does the queen do it?

Where in the world does Julie HRR get her talent and inspiration from? Have you seen this woman's gallery? Oh My Gosh!!! I went there looking for a picture of this "You've Gotta See This" and I'm faced with all these awesome original card samples. If you have never seen it you have to go...here is the link so you can get there fast: Baystamper's Gallery at Splitcoaststampers

Julie - really, where do you get it from? Do you stare at the stamps until something comes? Do you just start stamping and keep going? Well, whatever you are doing it is working. Girl, you deserve to be queen. Stampin' Up should hire you to do the whole darn catalog samples.

Well, putting my cheerleading pom poms away. Just wanted to call out the obvious to most of you and hidden treasure to the others!

Wendi,

You are too kind. Really.

I steal. Steal color combos, embellishment ideas, layout ideas.

I usually modify but occasionally I CASE directly.

I find much inspiration right here, and in magazines . . . sometimes in competing company's catalogs :shock: (I know, bad stamper, Julie, very bad bad bad!).

I rarely ever have a totally original idea. Serious.

But, I'm OK with that and hope everybody else is, too ...

I totally agree with Wendi. I've been watching Julie's creations for some time now. It seems that whenever I'm really wow'ed by something...I look down and see it was Julie HRR who created it. Today's additons were all incredible.

Thanks, Julie, for all of your inspiration. You can't even imagine how many people love seeing your work and aspiring to it!

Come on Julie! Let us shower you with compliments . I was flabbergasted (?is that the right spelling) by your uploads today. Incredible. You are awesome! I sure hope you won the contests you entered. You should. You are inspiring.

Julie, I have to say, when I see that you are posting your creations, I get positively giddy with excitement! But today I am in heaven! You have been workin' girl! They are all gorgeous, beautiful, uniquely Julie HRR!!!

And you don't have to be Queen for the week to have our admiration! You are special all the weeks of the year!

Thanks for making my day with your posts!

Ann

P.S. Okay that does sound as if I have no life...I did win a tennis match in a third set tie-break! That was good, but Julie's cards are better!

Wow! Julie I love your uploads this week- as usual. Great job on everything. You are well deserving to be credited of your title this week (is it next week too?). You are truly one of my favorite SCSers. Thanks for sharing your talent.
By the way what does the HRR stand for? Just curious-if you don't want to share this info I understand.

Wow! I have only been here for a couple of days, and I had already noticed how quick you are to help others. I hadn't checked out your gallery before. You added a few things to my must have list. Thanks for sharing!

Once upon a time, 6 years ago, I sat bemoaning that I had no unique rubber title ... "Stamp Queen" had been taken ...

An elementary teacher friend and I were stamping together one day at my house, and as I was hurriedly picking up so we'd have room to stamp on the dining table, I grabbed my childrens' book "The Jolly Postman" ...

It happened to be opened to the page where Cinderella receives a letter (elementary teachers, I'm sure you are all aware of the book and how it simulates all different types of mail (ads, junk mail, personal letters, telegrams, etc. being delivered to fairy tale characters--it is absolutely charming and a favorite of my children and myself!) and the envelope is addressed : Cinderella, H.R.H and underneath, (Her Royal Highness).

I jokingly told my friend "Hey, now there's a name for me: Her Royal Rubberness!" And so it stuck. She told two stamping friends, and they told 2 more, and so on, and so on, and so on ......

JulieHRR then became my internet moniker (ID). It always seems to draw a smile or giggle among stampers; non-rubber aficionados raise their eyebrows, scandalized...

I just wink, and tell 'em I teach women how to have a good time ... (!) :shock:
(not my line, but hey, it works like a charm!)



Eventually, it led to my downline's group name: The Royal Inkdom.

And, that, my friends, is the rest of the story.

Paul Harvey...Good day!

Default I love your work!!!

I think that your cards are SUPER WOW!, I usually don't like to post because I'm not good a it but I had to tell you that your cards are really nice. And I notice that you leave in WA. I live in Lacey. Is it to far away from were you live? Are you attending the convention in Vancouver?

Thank you! My first high school Spanish teaching position was at North Thurston High School in Lacey! Lived there for 4 years before moving south to Lewis County (Napavine, just so. of Chehalis/Centralia).

WOW! has it grown since then! I can't believe the development and traffic!

I will not be attending Regionals; I have a retreat for my downline planned here in October on the weekend of the 9th; it's too hard on my family if I devote more than one entire weekend per month to biz related events ... :( I missed out on Convention this year, too, but I chose to do that to visit my sister in California, etc.

I'd love to attend Leadership in January, but it's hard to afford both Convention AND Leadership (each a major expense), so I choose Convention as it gives me more opportunity to meet with more of my friends across the country... Not to mention, it's a ROCKIN' good time! LOL!

Julie, just curious, how many downline do you have? They must be in heaven to have such an awesome upline as you. If too personal, that's okay.

I think Julie's creativity comes from her cute glasses!!!

(I wear glasses, too, and I'm never satisified with what I have - oh well!)

Now, I have an eye appointment at the end of the month, I wonder if they'll look at me funny if I ask them if they have any JulieHRR galsses?????

:lol:

You're too cute for words, and I still think you lie about your age!

Not too personal in the least! My downline is very SMALL!

I have lost my original 8 1st levels and am reduced to only 3 of them now ... :( They have had some personal issues, some very serious medical problems, that have led to this and it is understandable that they need to make themselves/family a priority and save SU! for another time in their lives, so I am extremely supportive and understanding of their decision to de-activate. SU! will be around when they are ready to get back into it.

Remainder levels total about 16, with hopefully a bun in the oven (Ha!)--at least one of my 1st levels just emailed me that she has a new recruit signing on!

I can't recruit anyone here on Whidbey Island to save my life! I've come to accept it, so don't view that as a pity party! It would be awful fun, tho, to have just ONE downline locally to share the fun with ...

I have only met the other demo'r that is here in my town; all the others live in the larger more populated town of Oak Harbor--I haven't met a single one of them yet, with the exception of one that was in the process of deactivating due to family . . . she seemed very nice, too! But, she has kids, going back to school and dh in military; her plate is full and she felt something needed to give ...

If it weren't for the internet, man, I'd be extremely isolated!

Ya' know, we old ladies start to shrivel and dry up like prunes, and that's what has happened to my eyes ... :( Can't take the lenses any more ...

So, I figured, at the least, I might as well have funky specs ... then, I needed a funky new hairdo to go with ...

As for age, well, Miss Clairol and I are TIGHT! Come to think of it, it's about time she visited me again ....

You are all very sweet--thank you for making my evening!
