Tonight we held our first monthly “Croppin’ in the Country” warehouse crop. It was so much fun. There were seven of us, which I thought was a good turn out for our first crop. We put together three different Valentine cards, which were all fun and easy to make. We used pink cardstock from Bazzill and assorted heart embellishments. I took four different pictures of Sam, in each picture he is holding a letter. For example, one picture is Sam holding the letter “L” the next picture is Sam holding the letter “O” etc. So, as you unfold the accordian card you see Sam spelling the word LOVE. The cards were adorable and everybody loved them. I am definetly going to make these cards again because they were fun and easy to make.
I finished my first accordian card last night. I made it for my mom for Valentine’s Day. I am really pleased with how it turned out and it was super easy! I took a piece of cardstock and cut it to 4″ x 12″ and then folded it front to back four times like an accordian. Then I embellished the front cover with two different coordinating pieces of paper. I picked four pictures that were all taken on the same day and cut them to wallet size and put one picture on each of the folded “pages.” Then I used a few small embellishments (brads; photo flips and fibers) to finish up the card. Don’t forget to ink the edges of all the paper used! It just makes it look nicer. That is it-done!
I submitted a response last night to Memory Makers Magazine for the January story contest. Responses had to be submitted by midnight (pacific time) on January 31, 2006—I had about 2 hours to spare. The question was to describe the best scrapbooking party you’ve attended or hosted. I wrote about my trip to Grand Lake a couple of weeks ago. It was actually the first scrapbooking party I’ve ever attended. There were five of us girls and we had so much fun eating, drinking and scrapbooking! The weather was beautiful and the views overlooking Grand Lake were spectacular. Carla had arranged for us to stay at her moms log home that is on the backside of Grand Lake Lodge . Since it was just us girls (no kids) we were able to stay up late and sleep in until we felt like getting up. Awesome! Wanda went snowshoeing, but the rest of us decided that working out on our “weekend off” didn’t sound like any fun at all.
