Anyone scrapping/crafting/card making etc etc this weekend? Kitting? Shopping? Organizing?
I kitted two big kits today. I put together BMX stuff and some baby boy things as I found an older stack of pictures of DS and his great grandma so I wanted to get those done before I lose them again. Since I don't have "baby" stuff anymore, I had to improvise and will be depending on my Cameo for a lot of the cuts/stuff.
I also finally started watching Shimelles Return to the collection and so far so fun! I will have that going and scrapping tonight while DH is out gaming with friends.
Who else has plans this weekend to get creative?

not sure - I did 11 layouts today (9 single, 2 double) but I'm about to head out grocery shopping. Tomorrow I have a Girl Scout event...might get some scrapping done Sunday but we'll have to see.

Wow linda that is amazing! We may have racing on Sunday but we got like 1.25 inches of rain (with more coming) so it is very doubtful. I am pretty unsure what to do with an actual FREE weekend that we didn't have to schedule!

I hope to do some scrapping and/or card making this weekend. I went to the Scrapbook Expo this morning, and now I have some fun new stamps and dies to play with!

After a very busy weekend last weekend and not getting any scrap time this week, I hope to get a lot of scrapbooking done this weekend. The reason I didn't have time this week was because I was reorganizing my scrapbook room along with the rest of my house. Still have work to do in my scraproom but definitely a big improvement!! I'm actually heading into my scrapbook room now to start playing!

scrapnnana How as the Expo? Did you have fun? I am going to the one in VA this summer, but mainly to crop, a little shopping but all those people give me panic attacks so mostly to crop. I will start working on page kits for it after my 3 day at the end of April. @nancydrew YAY for organization! It makes me super happy! Glad you made lots of progress. Have fun playing, share if you can. I got one page done, with super old DCWV papers! I finished the bmx kit and put it in an artbin so if I happen to find anything else I can just toss it in there. Do you know how hard it is to find BMX stuff??? lol

I hope to find some time to clean my scrap room now that Calvinball is wrapped, but everyone in my house has strep and I'm knee-deep in tissues, meds, and people to look after. I got a few new products, so I might squeeze in a little play time if I can.

I didn't accomplish much else today - except laundry and dishes...I'll need to squeeze some actual housework in tomorrow. enjoy your FREE weekend...I need to schedule one of those myself

Last weekend was a wash for me, with being evacuated from our house for most of Saturday, so I'm hoping for some craft time today. I have spent a fair bit of time this week sorting photos and sketches for my Barcelona trip album, and now I am ready to get started with pages. I already have some ideas for papers in my mind, so the first couple should be easy. I do need not to make too much mess though, as we have a visitor arriving on Tuesday, and my scrap room doubles as our guest room.

It's Crafty Saturday so I'm off to meet up with friends for a fun day of all things paper crafting. I'll be working on kids birthday cards. Tomorrow I'm planning on getting my April TN set up.

Truth be told I am always scrapping in one way or another - collecting supplies, rooting through stuff looking for things for layouts, moving piles from here to there.....and of course being on this board, lol!
Today is a sewing day for me. I am making my son a medieval style tunic for his live action role play. He designed it and I execute the design.
Yesterday my husband and I went to a posh reception for the opening of a new museum and I had made a donation of a lovely 18th century walking wheel so we were invited to hob nob. While there one of the living history interpeters who is an expert spinner asked if I would come and 'play' sometimes - meaning bring out my spinning wheel and we spin the day away. It made me get the old urge again and I decided I will get out my wheel and get the parts moving and see what it would take to get me competently spinning again, since I'd have to spin in front of visitors to the museum. I might do that this weekend if I finish the tunic.
I plan to retire in 2 years so I am excited to add things to my areas of interest to keep me busy doing fun things I don't have time for now. I know the thread is about scrapping and I went off on a tangent, but it's kind of related because everything I do there are photos to scrap! Graphic 45 had a Fairy Tales line with Sleeping Beauty and the spinning wheel and I cut out those spinning wheel images for several pages!

I've been working on a page the last couple of days here and there and am hoping to finish it up today. Hopefully I will get some time to scrap this weekend, not sure what the family plans are yet. At some point I'm bringing the kids to see their great grandma in the hospital. So we will see if I feel up to scrapping after that I did start looking at some of my embellies last night, so if nothing else I will go through and organize some of those

I'll be scrapping! Our school's music teacher is on the staff beach retreat this weekend so his wife and I are shopping and scrapping all weekend. I'm so excited. She's a newbie so we are going to have a blast.

Just sharef this on the March goals thread but it may be a little mire appropriate here now. We didn't get to have our little guy's 2nd birthday party because we were all sick so we're having it next Saturday. Soooo, I am still working on all his decorations. Haven't had any scrappy time as far as 'me' goes but I've been enjoying firing up my Cameo and being creative that way! 😊 I'll use his nap time today to get a few more things done. I found this school bus print and cut file from Melissa on The Silhouette School blog and loved that I was able to customize what it said on the side of the bus! So cute and personal! I've ordered the cupcake picks from Amazon so when those arrive I can assemble all the vehicle cupcake toppers.😊 I also want to make a couple of vehicle banners for over the fireplace and out in the sunroom and maybe a simple circle garland for the kitchen eating area. Oh and some 3d vehicle boxes that I found in the Silhouette Design Store lol. You know...and work full-time and all that this week too lol! HA! Oh well, it'll be fun and Bo will have fun at his party. That's what matters!

nicolep - those are adorable - he's going to love it! I have a layout in progress - 2-page 8.5x11 layout with 18 photos - wow! I ordered them as a collage print and cut it apart edited - it's finished used red/white/blue cardstock, some old word stickers, and an epoxy sticker plus journalling.

Got one page done! We started our day with donuts and the Michaels. I shocked myself by not buying anything - including the black in pad I needed because I forgot. Oops!

I was able to get two layouts done so far, lots of organizing, some kits and lots of browsing online.

Turns out I did scrap a bit today. I was looking through DS1 album last night and saw he had no layout from his brother's graduation in Dec. Because I am so slow putting anything away I still had the graduation stuff pulled together and the photos I had printed to do a layout for him but I just thought they were extras.
This morning I pulled a few things and sat on my bed and put a layout together, put it in his album and now that is done!

I ended up not getting anything done yesterday, as DH decided to assemble furniture in my craft room. Today I've managed the basis of one LO for my Barca album - it helped that I knew which papers I wanted to use, as I have a couple of pages from the Olympic Park completed, and I wanted this one in similar colors. I just need journalling, a title and a bit more embellishment, so hopefully after German class in the morning.

Spent some time putting things away and organizing my room this morning. I need more paper trays, but don't see them on sale anywhere so I put a few in my amazon cart and will watch the price.
Someone here suggested storing die cut packs in the Iris case with the 4x6 photo cases, so I bought one and am trying that. So far, really loving how easy it is to see everything and how tidy it all is.
While I was sorting I found a bunch of Maggie Holmes products I didn't know I had. So. Much. Maggie Holmes. It's not really my style, so going to think about what to do with it all. Must have come with kit club kits.
