Kids Scrapbooking Project

This is what the children were creating this week.

This decor item was inspired by a customer of my LSS where I teach the children's scrapbooking classes.

Sympathy card

I have been busy prepping projects for my children's scrapbooking classes. (Soo much fun!) This card is made with the scraps from one of my classes.

It was very quick to make, as there is no Cricut involved. The butterflies, lace and the doily are from a dollar store but don't tell anybody.

Simple Stories - Aweso{ME}

I love the ease of putting together layouts with Simple Stories. Simple Stories has two new-ish lines that I am playing with. This layout is all done with Aweso{ME}. The girl version is called Fab{U}lous.

The good news is that this whole line coordinates together. Here is the link to their website if you would like to check them out.
As a scrapbooking mom of one girl and one boy, I think the lines are Awesomely Fabulous!

Have a great day!

Custom background pages

What a great idea from Archivers! You can bring in items to photocopy and design a background sheet for your layout.

...even french fries.

Crop and Create layout

This is the first info I had read about Crop and Create coming to my city.

I knew I wanted to attend as soon as I heard about the amazing scrapbooking ladies who were coming. I was fortunate to be able to work at this event at the marketplace but that didn't stop me from using the photobooth (so much fun!) and meeting some of the presenters.

I honestly got so much inspiration just being there. I loved talking to everyone and hearing what they were working on!

I had the idea to sell a kit for photos taken during the event. My boss chose this fab paper from Pebbles and chose all the embellies and I got to work designing the logo on my Gypsy.

Leica Forrest is absolutely beautiful (and talented). I'm happy that I have this photo of the two of us. The group shot was nipped from facebook.

Crop and Create - our booth

I must confess, even though my blog name is The Cropping Canuck, I have never been to a huge organized crop like Crop and Create.

I was fortunate enough to work this event last weekend with my LSS. It was soo much fun! Packing up the store and transporting it was a lot of work though.

We quickly set up in about two hours.

Here is some inspiration by Hazelle and Nicole. It was wonderful to create with "hot off the presses" new product.

The crop room.

Earlier in the week, we used a Yudu machine to screenprint matching shirts for our staff. I have used a Yudu before when I demoed them at Ms. This was my first time burning the emulsion screen though. I now understand the addiction to the Yudu! I love my shirt and have even washed it.

Our booth featured a free make 'n take. Everyone made this flip card using a Big Shot and Sizzix Movers and Shapers L Die-Card - Circle Flip-Its.

The tickets were cut with the Sizzix Sizzlit Decorative strip die - Ticket Strip.

The rosettes were cut and scored with the Sizzix Sizzlit Decorative strip die - Paper Rosette.

Craft day layout

My kids love creating with all art mediums. I made this layout for pictures of them painting that I took on Spring Break 2011. Now that it is Spring Break 2012, I wanted to get this done. I wanted a bright and bold layout for these pictures.

For this layout, I used stickers that I won from Reminisce. Believe it or not, but my prize was hand-delivered by Angela Ploegman (DT member) as she was passing through our province last summer. I know, sooo nice of her!
Have a great day!
