Fall Cropping Event

I am happy to say that I held my first Cropping Event ever! I had a great time seeing old and new friends. I rented a room at Bedford Town Hall for 12 whole hours. Let's just say that when I told the people that I needed the room for that amount of time they couldn't believe that a group of ladies could sit in a room for that long working on our scrapbook projects and layouts. I guess they don't know us too well - if  we could, we would have probably be in that room till midnight or even longer!


These are the small gifts that I made for everyone that attended. I used our Cricut Art Philosophy Cartridge for the container and the leaves. Inside was some candy and a small stamp set.

 

I had hourly prize drawings and a special prize for those that brought a snack to share. Big thank you to all that brought snacks! My husband catered the food for us (lunch and dinner). Thanks Matt! He made us yummy Taco Salad, Mac & Cheese with ham and bacon, Noodles with carrots, chicken and snow peas and chicken wings. For a special treat we also had chocolate covered strawberries.

 Some leftover strawberries

The prize table - I forgot to take a picture at the beginning of the crop. So took this picture halfway through the day.

Ladies that attended the Crop

 

Overall it was a great time. I got asked when the next Crop was going to be as people were leaving out the door! So let's just say the next day I called the lady to see if I could reserve the room. So....... save the date ladies, the next crop will be on Saturday, January 28, 2012. Who wants to attend???

November Scrapbook Workshop - Mischief

This is my First Post! Welcome to my Blog! I thought for my first post I would show more details for my next workshop that will be held in my home in Quincy on Nov 3rd. In this workshop we will use the Mischief Paper Pack. This paper pack is perfect for your Halloween, Fall and Pumpkin Picking Photos. 

This is what Layout 1 looks like

This is a close-up view of the layout. In this layout we will stamp with the Colonial White Pigment inks. The Pigment inks takes a little longer to dry so we will use the heat gun to help set the images.  Don't you just love the look of Midnight felt shapes? They are just sooo cute!

This is the second layout that we will be doing. This layout comes from our Magic book. If you don't want to do Halloween photos, you can easily change the title to for other events like Thanksgiving, Fall, etc.

Since I was feeling creative, I thought I would just make a 3rd layout to show what you can do with the new Mischief Complements Rub-Ons. They were so much fun to play with! I was able to layer the rub-ons to show a really cool affect.

This is a close up of the layout so that you can see more of the rub-ons. The shapes were cut-out using our new Close To My Hart Art Philosophy Cricut Cartridge. Love this cartridge!!

I can't wait till Halloween to add the photos of the kids. I know this layout will be perfect for the photos I will take. 

If you are interested in attending this workshop, please contact me at arlene_amo@hotmail.com. The cost of the workshop will be $18.15 for the Basic Kit and $34.20 for the full kit with your own stamp set to take home. Must RSVP by Oct 17 to reserve your spot. If you can't make it to the workshop date, you can purchase the full kit with directions or we can schedule a time to do this workshop with you and your friends at another time.
