The Singing Scrapper is Scrappin' In Harmony

Did you know that I hold an All-Day Crop every month in my studio?  Well, I do.  They are always on a Saturday from 9am-9pm.  Cost is $35 and includes lunch, dinner, drinks, snacks, prizes, as well as a pre-cut scrapbook layout make-n-take.  You have 12 hours of uninterrupted time to create, organize photos, fellowship with other crafters and friends, have someone cook lunch and dinner for you (enough said right) and have FUN! My next All-Day Crop is this Saturday, April 22 from 9am-9pm and there are a few seats left.  Comment on this post or email me if you would like to attend. Here’s a look at this Saturday’s free make-n-take for Crop attendees. I used a really pretty stamp set called Hello Lovely Scrapbooking (D1713) that is going to retire on April 30 so be sure to get yours soon. I just love the brush writing of the words (and they were not nearly as difficult to cut out as I thought they would be). The paper is from the Uptown Paper Fundamentals collection and I si

Hello again!  Did I mention I was behind and am now getting caught up.  Well, I promise you won’t here from me tomorrow because I am hoping to spend this week creating projects for future classes and crops. Today, I am here to share the May Scrapbook Club pages.  This month you have choices since we are using both the Some Kinda Wonderful and Hello Lovely collections .  You can create both collections by cutting 2 pieces of paper at once (1 from each collection) OR you can stick with just the one collection that you love.  Let’s start with Some Kinda Wonderful . I chose to keep it simple and use the Workshops Your Way instructions provided by CTMH and create the pages just like they did. In addition to the embellishments that come in the WYW kit I simply added some white shimmer trim. To give it just a little more fun I decide to watercolor the white shimmer trim – because you can!  Here’s a close up look at the watercolored white shimmer trim. As I mentioned, you have the opt

Well, as you can tell I have been behind on posting and I’m catching up all at once.  I am here today to share THIS month’s Card Workshop .  Sunday, April 30 from 2-5pm ( that’s just 3 weeks away ) I decided to use a workshop already created by CTMH and provided to us Consultants.  They created a 64 card workshop that would create 8 cards of 8 designs.  I chose to cut in half and use half of a Whimsy Paper Fundamentals paper pack. Then this is where things got a little crazy.  Since I was creating 4 sets of 8 designs I though it would be FUN to make each set different. So first I started with the March stamp of the month, Tea-rriffic.  (I hope you purchased yours already, but if not I bought a few extras.) Next I wanted to use the Some Kinda Wonderful Cardmaking stamp set and coordinating thin cuts (Z3302).  And just for fun I also added the Silly Sayings stamp set (C1672). Since those 2 sets were getting a little out of control with all of the things to color.  I deci
