Get Croppin Day Three








Wow, the last day and it came really fast. We were all anxiously trying to wrap up our projects, but that didn't mean we didn't have time for some clowning around while we work. Here GG and MBM have a battle of the tape guns. I was working on a mini album for my husband's last birthday. It took me the whole last day of the crop as well as some time afterward to get it done. Like it???


Crazy Croppers Gone Wild!!!

Well, toward the end of the second day, we were getting a little punchy. A couple of our fellow Crazy Croppers needed some tunes to keep them going. Check out this video for a giggle!!!

Second Day of Get Croppin'








The second day of our big crop weekend was really eventful! I finished up the birthday kit I got from Mini Book Mama - it turned out really cute!

I also worked on several layouts that we got at the last CKC convention. These were ones where we did one side of the layout in class and had to finish the other side on our own. I finally got around to them! Whew!!!

First Night of Get Croppin'



We started a bit late, but still got a lot done in the first night of our weekend crop. I worked on the kit Mini Book Mama got me and it was complicated, so it took me a while. Still not all the way done, but here are some pics of what I have so far. It was lots of fun and we're looking forward to going back tomorrow for more croppin' fun!!!

Big Crop Starts Tonight!!!



OK, I've made it to Mini Book Mama's place and the big crop weekend starts tonight! Last night we packed up all of her stuff and she's taking about half of her crop room! Good thing I was limited to what I could fly with or I would have done the same. We've got mounds of crops bags ready to go. While she's at work today, I've been prepping a few of the messier project that involve paint and playing with her sweet puppy! I think I wore her out because she's downstairs sleeping in her little 'pup' tent right now.

Big Crop Weekend

I don't have any new projects to post right now because I'm busy getting ready for a big 3-day crop this weekend. I'm trying to be careful to plan out how much I'll be able to get done (between the shopping and the socializing) and take just what I need.

The hardest part is picking out pictures. When I'm at home, I can just print pictures out as I need them, but for a crop I have to do it ahead of time. That's a little too much thinking ahead for me normally. I'm determined to do it this time however, so I don't end up taking everything with me but the kitchen sink!!!!

Christmas Tag Accordian


I know it's February, but I'm catching up on Christmas projects. This is a small wooden tag accordian decor piece featuring pictures of us and our puppy family. It's always fun to try to get pictures of the dogs all together under the tree. A bit chaotic, but fun.

Cool Make and Take


Here's a cool little make and take I made at a local scrapbook store yesterday. The marble looking piece is actually a piece of glossy paper dabbed with three different shades of alcohol inks along with a bit from a gold leafing pen. It made for a nice effect. I have alcohol inks but never thought to use them in this way. We also got a sheet of ideas for other uses for inks. Always great to learn something new!!!!

January Project 12 Layout


Here is my layout for the first month of Project 12. I tried to follow the sketch closely for this first one. The subject of it is my husband's 50th birthday surprise party. We had a blast!!!


I think I will really like Project 12 - a lot less intense than Project 365 that I did last year, so I should be able to spend more time on the pages - getting them just the way I want.

Well, I haven't had to week off for snow days like my scrappin' sister in Virginia, so I haven't gotten a lot of scrap projects done. However, my local scrappin' siser and I will be at it this weekend so stay tuned for some new pics and projects!

Hello, fellow scrapbookers! This is my first attempt at a blog, so it will look pretty plain until I learn what I am doing. As my name implies, I am addicted to gadgets - scrapbooking gadgets in particular. I have to check out every tool that comes on the market. Granted I don't have them all, but I WANT them all ;-). I am creating this blog to share some of my creations, tip, tricks, and ideas. I hope you have fun reading!

Happy Scrappin'
