Next crop is July 1st!

Looking forward to doing some scrapbook pages, after making cards last time. I've got a few ideas running around in my brain. Hope they come to life, and I can stay awake until midnight. With a late spring my allergies just kicked in. I'd like to get some layouts completed.

May 13th crop!

On Friday, May 13th, I went to another crop. Had a ball. Took along 24 - 12" x 12" pages that needed to be finished. Each needed something small: journalling, a bit of bling, a missed embellishment that I'd forgotten at home. I got 23 of the 24 pages done. Dumb me took the wrong Cricut cart with me to finish that last page. I finished it at home instead. I also finished putting pics on the pages I made for the 2nd puppy book. Need to do a bit of journaling, but as far as I'm concerned it's finished.

My next crop is on May 27th, and I think I'm going to make greeting cards that night. I need to stock up on cards for the year, and it will give me the opportunity to do that.

Summer Sizzler

My local scrapbook store has a special going this summer (actually beginning in May). They are offering a Summer Sizzler Pass. The pass entitles the owner to one crop per month (May through August) for $5 each. Includes supper and hourly specials in the store. Oh, did I say it's a 12 hour crop each time.

Yup, you guessed it, I signed up. Couldn't pass that by.

Had so much fun!

Another crop last night from noon to midnight. Finished, from scratch, 13 pages; 2 pre-made pages; and journalling on one page. So that makes 16. I only stayed until about 10:15. I hit a creative wall, and just couldn't do any more.

I signed up for a 17 hour crop in April. It's from 8 a.m. to 1 a.m. The plan is to make page kits to work from. I've got lots to do. Need to sort more pics, and get them organized. I bought a Creative Memories box, with zipper top. Hold 20 two pocket hanging files. I'm going to organize my pages in this box. I should have it all grouped and get lots done.

Have lots of pages to show you. Now I just have to get them photographed and posted. {{sigh}}

3rd Crop!

I really think I'm addicted. LOL I went to my 3rd crop last night, another 12 hour version. Managed to make six 12 x 12 pages (including pictures), and 21 of 22 - 8 x 8 pages (excluding pictures). The smaller pages are for a puppy book I want to make of our two dogs, Buddy & Chelsey. I PROMISE to post lots of pictures real soon of what I've made in the 3 crops, before my next crop which is a two day crop. Starts at noon and goes until supper the next day. There are a group of us renting a conference room at a local hotel, and just cropping. So, by then I really need to have lots of stuff ready to go.

The crop is getting closer!

Two days to go before my first crop. I'm pulling things together to work on, but not entirely confident I'm taking what I need for a 12 hour crop. How many pages do I plan for? One per hour? Well, I have another full day, and Friday morning to decide. Some of it is already waiting. Hmmmm....

Going to my first crop!

Barb & Sharon & I are going to a crop in a couple weeks. Those girls have been to several before - not me, it will be my first. I'm asking everyone what to take, and what to make. I've got a good idea what I will work on, so will set up some page kits.  It will also be a potluck crop, so I need to take something food-wise.
