Scrapbooking DVD/CD

Hi,

I know that several folks shop on QVC and we often have the same products for sale US & UK so I wondered if anyone has bought kits containing DVD's/CD's. I bought the Tips, Tricks, Techniques TSV with DVD a week past Friday and a Scrapbook Kit with CD ROM on Tuesday last week. Both are HOTP and I am really disappointed that both the DVD & CD are faulty and they are the main element in the kit. So on notifying Customer Service they have said that I need to return the whole kit and wait around 21 days for replacements or request a refund. As you will gather I am not a happy pixie. I don't see why they can't just get replacement DVD/CD's and send them out when they arrive! Anyone ever had similar problem?

Have you tried contacting HOTP to see if they will replace the disk.

NoTeresa...I am told QVC do that anyway and the customer service guy says that they will send a returns label for both items. I can then request a replacement or get a refund.

Afraid I will go for the later....their loss!!!!! I won't be buying anything again containing dvd's/cd's, as two out of two doesn't inspire confidence that they have their quality control sorted. Sheesh both my dvd & pc play everything for movies, freebie music cd's from the newspapers, software and computer-based learning discs. Perhaps they have an aversion to anything scrapbooking related.......LOL

hmmm...sorry to hear about this Marilyn. I was going to suggest that maybe they are not faulty, but that they only work on certain players, but if they don't work on the dvd or the pc, then it must be the discs themselves. I know over here in SA, some of the dvd's especially don't work on our LG dvd player, but strangely enough they DO work on a very cheap dvd player we got as an "extra" when DH bought his surround sound system. I'm not a techie person at all, but as I can gather, some dvd's/cd's are "zoned" for certain markets. ie - some American discs don't work on European/Asian players and vice versa. HTH

Judy........the DVD player we have is a multi-region, multi format deal and I can even play music cds recorded on the PC in it without problems. The cd seemed to lock up at the Flash Intro screen, even although I have the latest plugins, etc. I even tried to prevent it from autorunning and use the explore option to access....still no joy :o( The menu seems to be Flash so it just locked again. The both purchases are now winging their way back to QVC and I will just have a refund, rather than a replacement. Shame really because I liked the papers and embellishments in the packs but the DVD/CD was the main portion of the packs. I will just try and search out the HOTP books the papers were from. As I was packing things up again I noticed that the Scrapbooking CD and Soft Pastels Kit were not true 12 x 12 papers anyway. They were 11 3/4 x 12 !

Jacqui...I just packed them up and sent them back for refund. Shame cause I liked the papers and stuff but wasn't prepared to wait three weeks or more for replacement that could also be a problem. I must prowl on another board to see if there were lots of returns for the TSV!!!! This group of scrapper take no nonsense from QVC and are very upfront when things are not right....LOL I did think about keeping it because I managed to watch 90% of the DVD, only two chapters didn't work :o) Ephemera & Fibers! Just the two that were most relevant at the present minute :o) But hey, it didn't work problem free and that was what I was paying for...so back it went!!!

Marilyn P.S. Hope you are doing okay :o)

Ahhh Jacqui so glad to here things are going so well. And look at you and your home remodel.... what possessed you to tile a floor?! I want to retile my entry way. I've bought the tile and everything, but now I'm wondering "can I do it?" I've never tiled before, but doesn't seem that hard right? hahaha

Happy to hear you are doing good.. Isn't Weight Watchers great!! I've lost about 9 lbs so far on it. After I had Ally I had to buy a pair of size 16 shorts and now they are too big but I'm just going to buy a belt for now..

I saw apart of that concert last night on the Country Music Awards. Glad he got to see it.. Hope he gets to come back home to you soon.

Are you taking pictures of your new remodelling?

Low fat and fast and easy! I was thinking of doing a paper piecing with the next recipe swap.

Chicken Baseballs

3oz light cream cheese

2 teaspoons of I Can't Believe It's Not Butter

¼ teaspoon salt

2 tablespoons chopped onion

2 cups cooked cubed chicken breast (I buy the already prepared stuff)

1 8 ounce can of reduced fat crescent rolls

Bread crumbs

2 teaspoons milk

Combine cheese, butter, salt, pepper, milk and onion. Blend well. Pour over chicken and stir.

Separate rolls into 4 rectangles and seal perforations. Spoon ½ cup chicken mixture into center and seal.

Sprinkle with breadcrumbs.

Place on ungreased cookie sheet. N

Bake 350 for 20 minutes.

My mom thinks they are 6 points each made with the lowfat/fat free stuff.

After the home remodel is almost done, I will post the before and after pics on webshots. After you see the pictures, you will understand what possessed me to do all this stuff to the house. Last week I went to clean that bathroom and all I wanted to do was rip it out. Clean or destroy...you can imagine what I decided to do.

How are you doing on weight watchers? I weigh in tomorrow morning.

How are you doing on the Weight Watchers? Here is a recipe that I got from the May/June Magazine and we tried it on Mother's Day. Very, Very good :)

Strawberry Pancakes Makes 12 Servings

Turn these not-too-sweet pancakes with care; they are moister and denser than traditional flapjacks. Serve them with sliced fresh fruit, a dab of warmed all-fruit spread, or a drizzle of real maple syrup.

1 cup reduced-fat baking mix (such as Bisquick)

2 tablespoons sugar

¼ teaspoon ground ginger ½ cup fat-free milk ½ cup apple butter

2 tablespoons fat-free egg substitute

½ cup chopped strawberries

1 teaspoon canola oil

1 Whisk together the baking mix, sugar, and ginger in a medium bowl. Whisk together the milk, apple butter, and egg substitute in another bowl. Stir the milk mixture into the dry ingredients just until blended. Fold in the strawberries.

2 Heat a large nonstick skillet or griddle until a drop of water sizzles on it. Add ¼ teaspoon of the oil and spread with a spatula. Pour the batter by ¼-cup measures onto the skillet, spreading to 4-inch rounds. Cook until bubbles just begin to appear at the edges of the pancakes, about 2 minutes. Flip and cook 1-2 minutes longer. Repeat with the remaining oil and batter, making a total of 12 pancakes.

PER SERVING (1 pancake): 77Cal, 1 g Fat, 0 g Sat Fat, 0 g Trans Fat, 0 mg Chol, 120 mg Sod, 15 g Carb, 1 g Fib, 2 g Prot, 34 mg Calc. POINTS value: 1.

TO FREEZE Let the pancakes cook completely. Layer without overlapping in an airtight freezer container, with wax paper between layers. Freeze up to 1 month. To reheat, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and spray a baking sheet with nonstick spay. Arrange the frozen pancakes on the baking sheet and spray the tops with nonstick spray. Bake just until hot, 10-12 minutes.
