Creative Critters Q2 Chat Thread

Hello scrappyrabbit ! I'm in Maryland so my name is MDscrapaholic. I've been busy with the Crop & Create last weekend, and still have some cards/classes to do, so I hope to keep adding those to my total. I'd like to get back into scrapping, but need to clean off all my card supplies first!

Hello! My user name is my first name but pronounced like "Ryan".

My current crafty project is packing up my crafty space (and the rest of the house!) as we're moving to the PNW this summer. I've kept aside some projects to keep me entertained in the "before we list the house" stage of the move, but eventually I'll need to pare things down even further to fit into a single rolling craft bag.

First up to work on are cards for the 2peas spring card exchange. I'm usually better prepared for the swaps but was waylaid by covid so I lost some of the time we have to get them sent out. I previously pulled together a kit to use for this project, so I'm giving myself an hour to sit here at my table to see if I can get a card or two made.

Once those are complete I have some classes from the February Pinkfresh event to do, and all the classes from last weekend's SCT card making event. I also have a summer card making kit pulled together in anticipation of the summer 2peas card swap, so I could start on those, too.

Thank you for taking on the role of team leader for Q 2, scrappyrabbit. 

My username is self explanatory. When I joined the OG Two Peas I wanted it to be obvious where I was from, partly so people wouldn't think I was a bad speller if I wrote 'colour' or 'realise' etc etc!    

I haven't set any goals for this quarter, because I'll just be disappointed in myself when I don't meet them haha! I would like to start working on my PL again - I've only done two weeks so far. I love sketches, so I like to make sure that I do all the sketches. I didn't do as many of the theme challenges for Q1 as I wanted to. I didn't even do my own.   So I want to make more of an effort to do them this quarter.

scrappyrabbit can you remind me when you're due? I love seeing your layouts starring Arthur, and can't wait to see your layouts or your baby. 😍

Ooooh what date? My birthday is the 22nd and my son's is the 24th of September. 

I know SO MANY people who have birthdays around that date. It seems a lot of people were gettin' busy over the Christmas / New Year period. 

Hi everyone! I finished a lot of cards for both the swap here on 2peas and for dh's work. Now that those are out of the way, I want to get back to my pocket page layouts.

Have a long list of pages to make. I also need to get new albums but that will be next month. Can't decide on what colors I want.

Going to work on some pages today. Dd has a college class and I don't have much going on at home other than a few loads of laundry.

I don't have challenges from all of our team yet... Even if you have already added, time for a second look. Take a look at the Q-2 Challenges Thread and see if there is anything you would like to add. Has to be done TODAY...

Have fun at the birthday parties and take lots of photos, scrappyrabbit !

I finished my exchange cards in bits in the mornings this past week (and forgot to take photo before mailing them out, so much for that point). Now I'm circling back to C&C. But I should probably be doing homework for the HA stamp along next weekend.

Or paying bills and balancing the checkbook...off to adult now.

Hello everyone! I am Katie (katiekaty) from from the west side of Houston. I have been scrapbooking for 32 years plus and yes I have some paper that is that old! I also make cards, cupcake and cake toppers ( before they became the rage) since I have 4 kids in their 30s and 3 grandkids. I have always done something creatively from sewing, embroidering, crocheting and knitting, sketching and painting, and even a tiny bit of scrap metal welding (I had a miniature welding set, but I gave that up!), and cake, candy and cookie decorating that I still do but only for family and very close friends. I usually get anywhere from 15-30 minutes crafting or baking in everyday other than regular household duties and meals and days that I work. Weekends are mine, though an unless I give everyone a break and cook, they get leftovers and fend for themselves! And I don’t feel sorry for them either, so, there!😎

Newest crafty scrappy stuff that I am working on is items for a tiered tray. It’s always fun to decorate them up in whatever the move strikes me!

Thanks scrappyrabbit for hosting this wonderful team this quarter!

Good morning! Happy Easter 🐣 not too much going right at our house. Chicken is marinating for kabobs later. Walmart grocery order has benn placed for delivery. Will be making a sugar and peanut butter double batches of cookie dough in little bit. Will be making some fifties for the cardiac rehab team since I get discharge from there tomorrow. Later on I will finish prep for the grill ed meal for dinner—we’re doing chicken kabob with sausage and like potatoes and corn on the corn and green beans cooked in the grill pan. It will be something to look forward to today since it’s so yummy an DS2. Is awesome on the grill! Probably the only crafty thing I will do is sit outside and prep the svgs for cutting for the tiered tray while the dog runs wild in the backyard this afternoon! Hope everyone has a great day!

Hope everyone had a good Easter for those who celebrate. We went to my parents. Had a lovely day and no wind! It is almost always windy at their home. Kids and cousin had fun finding eggs.

Since we were home early, I was able to get several pocket page layouts done yesterday. Just finished my second of the day and will work on my third before I go to bed. It is the last layout for DS for 2022!

Why double points? My family is leaving for a week and I have double booked myself into TWO virtual crafting retreats for the weekend! And here in Massachusetts, Monday is an holiday. So, assuming creations like cards count as well as layouts, what fortuitous timing!
