QOTW

I've attended my share of day and weekend crops as well as hosting them myself. I'm fast running out of ideas for fun crop games. So...

"What is your favorite crop game?"

A layout to share...one I did at an all day benefit crop in Chicopee yesterday. Flowers are Petaloo Color Me Crazy petals sprayed with Smooch Spritz, Basic Grey Boxer line papers and Bazzill cardstock. Pictures of a trip to Calder Race Track in Miami, FL.

Question of the Week

Do you take scrappy classes?
If no, why not?
If yes, where? At a scrapbook store? Consultant?

Personally I haven't taken a lot of scrapbooking classes. I find that I am a visual learner and can easily reproduce a look just by looking at a picture. When I do take classes, it is at CK conventions as well as online classes.

ps. Check back tomorrow for a sneak peek of my Thursday class at the Holden Rec.

Nosy Monday

Do you have a preference for 1 page or 2 page layouts? Why?

Looking through my idea books and magazines, I noticed that they highlight mostly 1 page layouts. I like to have both in my albums depending on how many pictures and how "big" of an event or milestone it is that I am scrapping. And just for fun, a share from my lil' guys' album.

a week?

Yikes! Has it really been a week since I've posted? Wow! How time flies when one has a to do list a mile long. Back to back events, parenting, volunteering, mothering = one very busy person here. I have to get back to my mile-long to do list but not before I share 2 of my latest page kits featuring Cricut's paper dolls :)

Rock Stars - a fair amount of smooch spritz and smooch inks went into this layout.
Faith - This is of Darin's baptism but it's being sold as a 1st communion layout. There is a choice of boy or girl paper doll and comes with a 1st communion rubon title.

More Paper Dolls



I'm hooked. Officially! Angela are you reading this? If you thought I was hooked, it's even worse now!!! I spent yesterday and today working on paper dolls for my page kits. They are so much fun and the details, the details are what's killing me. My 1st communion girl doll - she has pearly shoes and lace on her dress. Wait 'til you see her in person! Even my boys are hooked.

They made their own rock star paper dolls and put on a show for me before bed last night. And this little girl...well she *hearts* the cricut too!

Paper Dolls

*scroll down for the QOTW*

I fell in love with both the cartridges when they first came out and have always had good intentions to use them but don't use them as often as I like. Yesterday, while trying to come up with an idea of a slumber party invite...I had a lightbulb moment...dug into my Everyday Paper Dolls cartridge and found the perfect paper doll. Check it out! The doll...in his sleeping bag.The guy pops out and there's the invite details. Cool huh? And this guy...he's going on my son's Baptism layout, in fact he's wearing the same outfit he wore! He's also going to be featured on a cool Baptism/1st Communion layout - debuting at Cool Crops Andover this weekend.My Question of the week..."What would you name this guy? What about the girl version?" Post your choices in the comments on this blog. If I pick the name you suggested, I'll send you the boy and the girl paper dolls.
