Pictures from Crop

                                    
I promised pictures of the all day crop that I held last month.  Even though we didn't have a huge turnout we had a lot of fun scrapping, talking, laughing and of course eating!!!  Everyone received a name tag like the one you see above...pretty fitting for an all day crop don't you think?  :)

The group project that I designed was a  6" x 6" Accordian Album with Miracle paper.  These make really cute gifts.

Angel with her completed Album

I designed an optional  recipe box class for the afternoon.  The boxes were decorated with Cherry-O papers and everyone decorated pre-printed recipe cards and dividers to go inside...cute, cute!!!

Meredith with her recipe box

Laura created a quilt pattern on one of the layouts she worked on...pretty cool!! "/wahaha"

Of course I had lots of giveaways and the "Grand Prize" was a Sizzix Big Shot.

Keep watching my blog for a future Crop coming later this year.  I would love to have you at the next one!

Hope you enjoyed the pictures!

Miracle Thank You Card

I wanted to share a card that I made last night using the Miracle Level 2 paper.  I just love this paper and the Sweet Leaf Ribbon is so pretty.  I was looking at some of my card magazines last night and came across one that used strips of paper with different border punches on the strips.  I tucked each stirp underneath the one above to create the layered look.  I used one of the butterflies from the Irresistable Miracle Chipboard Die-Cuts...these are really cool!  All you do is sponge the ink on and the design resists the ink...pretty isn't it? 

Thanks for looking!

CTMH Leadershare 2011

I posted a few weeks back that I would be going to Leadershare in Navarre, FL on April 2nd.  All I can say is that it was A-W-E-S-O-M-E!!  There were about 75 consultants from all over that participated.  Plus, we had some great classes taught by Corporate Employees and Consultants.  There was lot's of Beautiful Artwork and Inspiration!!  Our fearless leader Tina Sutton hosted this Leadershare.  She is such an inspiration and a very sweet down to earth person!  Hugs going out to Tina right now! :)  If you ever get a chance, jump over to her blog and take a look at all that she has accomplished and of course her beautiful artwork! 

Before I left for Leadershare I posted a quick picture of the book that I made as a donation to Operation Smile.  I was amazed at all the other artwork that the other ladies made.  There are some very talented consultants out there!  Barb Carrico had the winning bid for my "Sophia Friendship Book".  I did promise more pictures when I returned....

Enjoy the slideshow and I would love to see what you think!  Thanks for looking!!
