Oh, big crop night--big sale.....lots of fun!

So I got picked for an Alan Newman Research thingie tomorrow night and I get paid $75 cash, get free goodies and I only have to give my opinion on employment recruiting in the Richmond area. Loves it. I plan to take my easily earned cash to Jo-Ann's Saturday to partake in their 40% off all papercrafting sale with my GF Theresa and then--my sister and her friend Amy have planned an all night crop at their church in Caroline County on Friday March 12th from 6:30pm to 11am Saturday. I am so stoked. I am sure I can not hang all night until 11am but I can do like 8pm to 8am....and I am psyched. I have lots of pics to develop and lots of pages to crop. If you have any sketch ideas, let me know. If you want to join us at the crop, let me know that 2. The more the merrier. :-)

Trimming the Tree Christmas 2009.

I really enjoyed my day off today for President's day. I got to spend the day with my BFF Theresa scrapbooking. I actually got so much done today. It was so nice to feel caught up for once. :-)

Here they are for your viewing pleasure....I still need a title for the Christmas pages but I have it cutout on the Cricut but not glued on yet with my Xyron.

More of the cute LOs I completed in Jan

Some old pics of my nephews in FLA on the Xmas they got their Wii and presents from us were Wii related.

January 2010....

I have had the opportunity to crop twice in Jan so far. Once with my sis and then once with my BFF. I got lots of wonderful LOs completed including the Jan 2010 Pagemaps.com blog entry.

Here is the sketch:

And here is my entry: (Paper 12 x 12)

I used the Cricut to make the cute poinsettas and leaves as well as the title. I used CTMH stamps to create the embossed stitching at the top and bottom in gold. I wrote text in both black and gold to make it pop. The paper has the cutest retro Christmas feel and the pics--well adorable.

New Page Maps blog sketch contest....ends Jan 3rd

This is the new sketch, contest open to interpretation and theme, and due Jan 3, 2011. The items below in the pic below, are the prizes---and they are handmade from ETSY and a generous donor to the pagemaps.com/blog contest. So excited. Have to find time to make this sketch and excited that for once, it is not a 1 photo sketch.
