SCT Crop & Create Holiday Event - boxes are shipping!

The unboxing is Thursday Nov 9 at 8 pm Eastern.
I know there is homework but I'm not sure about videos.

I haven't started on any of the homework. Also, I am going to miss the Friday live classes as I'm traveling for work so I'll have to watch those later - bummed about that.

I think I'm probably going to skip Virginia's countdown calendar class. It's not something I would use so I'll repurpose those supplies into layouts or cards.

The Holiday Bliss Book I'm torn about. I keep all my Christmas layouts in specific 12x12 albums so a mini album wouldn't work for me BUT I could make it & give it as a gift (I think my cousin would really like it).

I'm getting excited!!

I'm also planning to skip making the holiday countdown. We already have one that is a tradition so I don't need a new one.

I'm not sure what I will do with the mini album since I decided to go with Ali's DD for my project this year.

Excited for the unboxing since my box is still unopened!

Add me to the “skipping the countdown” project. It’s very cute. But I don’t need it and it looks fiddly to get it all lined up and looking nice. I think I’d rather just use that collection to make some layouts. We have a magnetic board countdown calendar I made that has become a tradition for our family as well.

I like Jess’s mini book. Nice collection too. I’m not really a mini maker though. Because it’s a pocket style, maybe I’ll just make it into larger pocket sleeves to use in my 12x12 albums. That might be the best of both worlds. I’m not much of a pocket scrapper either, but it’s easier for me to translate into my style.

Does anyone think Gina K’s cards don’t look very Gina K? I thought they were hero arts maybe. They’re not her normal style. I have no opinion on them either way but they surprised me.

MDscrapaholic Can you share the sneak peek for Cathy Z's cards again?  It's just coming up as a box with a ? in it. 

I plan to.

I’m getting off to a slow start. I’m saving Gina’s class until Sunday. Spending the morning getting in my walk and exercises so my physical therapist doesn’t yell at me. Then I’ll work on finishing up some of the homework while I watch Catherine in reruns. By 2:00 I’ll be ready to jump in with Paige’s class and I’ll make a layout for Virginia’s class. Cute project, but no one to give it to who will actually use it. Not sure how late I’ll follow along tonight. I’ll definitely not be doing Angie’s coloring tonight. I’ll save that for Sunday too.

I’m wearing my Disney Christmas pjs and watching. It’s been fun so far. I’m having a bit of a slide backwards in recovery so decided not to pressure myself and just relax in bed today. I’m hoping I’ll feel like playing tomorrow. Paige’s class was great! I liked her ornament page and will do something similar with circle dies I have most likely. Maybe I’ll pull pictures from last year to use.

I'm moving a lot slower than I anticipated. Partially due to health issues and partially due to not liking the feeling that I was rushing through things and I wanted to slow down.

I actually haven't finished a single thing yet, but I'm working on it. I've got Paige's ornament layout pretty much laid out and the other layout is coming along. I messed up cutting the paper by working ahead of time, so I had to piece together the triangles and then cover some empty spots where the papers met, but now that I've got it put together you can't even tell. This morning I'm working on finishing up the layout from Virginia - she was moving too fast for me last night when it came to the decorating part.

Today I decided to skip Cathy Z's class - I can pretty much do that on my own. I will do the layout with Mari, she usually goes at a nice pace so I think I'll keep up. I'll skip the cards - I like making my cards more from scratch, although that kit is really cute. I'm sure I'll find something to do with it. I'll definitely start Jess's class, but I'm not up to doing all three hours so I'll stop part way through.

I've already warned my husband that Sunday is still considered a scrapping day. Fortunately, he's perfectly happy to just leave me alone. I can't imagine why!!!
