YIPPEE! After long last, I've got an official Crop Night! I've found a small group of fun, friendly girls, and we got together at the neighborhood clubhouse to scrapbook.
I demonstrated a 6" x 6" scrapbook page, and let the other croppers make one of their own. The Bonus Layout on the Demo Website was perfect for these pictures of my happy Reesie-Pie and his favorite pool noodle.
I love putting on events like this, because it challenges me to create - to complete pages & preserve these beautiful memories piling up so fast.
I wanted to take the original page into larger sized layouts. Here, I added pictures of Rylee and Ranger, more rub-ons, chipboard dates and what I think is an awesome circle collage at the bottom - see the textured cardstock, covered chipboard, Build-a-Brad tops, and crystal effects dots.
Next, up to a 12" x 12" layout. Another picture - this time all 3 of my little darlings in the pool together, swimming with those famous noodles. I added Pacific Point stitched ribbon, another half circle, and a few more of my Crystal Effects droplets.
I can't tell which one is my favorite - but I can say I've gotten 3 pages done even BEFORE the crop starts, and I'm pretty happy about that!
For the next few posts, I'll pay homage to all the beautiful, fun Stampin' Up! sets that are on their way to retirement. The Last Chance list was just released this morning, and Doodle This (see on this scrapbook page) was on the list.
I'm so thrilled every time someone asks me to do a workshop for them. There's the fun of a night out of the house, the excitement of teaching guests new stampin' technique, and ... I always get at least one scrapbook page finished! You see, I always incorporate a little scrappin' demonstration, using the same colors, papers or embellishments as our main project. And this little colorblocked beauty was the demo at my last workshop. The hostess recieved one just like it to complete with her own photos. I do adore this color combination!!!

Here's what kept me busy today. I wanted to make something unjque and meaningful for a super-special friend of mine. She has the most adorable baby, who celebrated her 1st birthday a couple weeks back. I got my hands on a couple of the pictures, and made a 12x12 scrapbook page. It's in a shadow box for the wall. It got rave reviews, and I was really thrilled. Happy Birthday, JM! Love ya, girl.
