iNSD 2019 CROP Party * Updates in OP

No, I definitely had that paper, jeremysgirl! I used it for dd's birthday. Love this page and use of these colors for Christmas. Love your embellishments too. It's been beautiful where I'm at in Michigan too. DH & the kids were even cleaning the pool out today. Still some more to go before it's ready for swim season. But back at the farm, it was sunny but raining earlier, haven’t check recently. Sometimes the rain sets off the security camera.

joblackford, it's our pleasure. I'm glad you got motivated to restart your 52 stories. I say you should avoid the garden and stay in to scrapbook. I like your cat – friend page. If I click on the image, it comes up bigger from the flickr gallery.

angel97701, way to support the industry!! You are very close to finishing your room, it will be done in no time.

craftymom101, I hope your son knows how good he has it! Did he enjoy swimming yesterday?

Elsabelle, I’m thinking about scrapbooking some more… Does that count? I’m glad you have been able to create. I seemed to go a little quicker yesterday. Today I’m a bit slow with only 2 pages complete, but I took the photos for both today.

Linda, I’m glad you were able to participate this weekend. You always amaze me with your ability to get stuff done, even when you are doing housework and such too. I can’t read a word of that letter, but the page is just lovely.

scrappintoee, I think that is my very first layout ever about scrapbooking! And it’s digital. I now totally need to document my traditional scrapbooking. No, don’t Marie Kondo your tshirts! Sorry to all the Marie Kondo fans out there, but I think she is a nut-job. ‘You should only have 30 books.’ Is she talking by subject matter and by person? As my dd said upon hearing that, “can she read? Hers would be the first book I’d get rid of.” We obviously like our books in my house. As far as your scrap area, isn’t that how you are supposed to paper scrap? When I’m scrapbooking on top of a foot tall pile, that’s when I know it’s time to clean up a bit. I usually only clean enough space for a double page plus a little extra around the border.

For anyone interested in batch scrapbooking here’s a quick explanation by Sue Althouse.

Sorry, I got sidetracked talking with DH this evening. He came home after the crop started on Thursday after we were both gone for a week, other than the movie and duck pond outing on Saturday, he’s been keeping his distance. But he’s getting ready for this week’s trip. I figured I should spend a few moments with him, so he feels loved before he leaves. He’s kind of needy like that. Now I’m catching up with everyone on here and it’s already 9:15. Trying to decide if I’ll try another layout to round out my number to 10 pages or if I’ll call it quits.

craftymom101! You have some skills. Those cupcakes are amazing! I did start another layout. I’m pulling stuff for it now which is always the most time-consuming part. Wishing I had all my digi items tagged.

thwarth, WOW! That’s a lot of pages! Congratulations! That’s amazing!

jeremysgirl, we already established I could leave a task unfinished, but I can’t’ do batch scrapbooking. I need to focus on one layout. I kind of, maybe, could do it for event styled layouts where you want a cohesive look, but that’s about it.

Linda, I’m on my desktop with the 23” screen, I usually can’t read your journaling except a word or two. But the page is fantastic. I love the pattern that has the same colors as the bag and the doubled offset JC’s.
 

Linda, thanks for coming to play. That's a lot of layouts finished!! 29 pages is like just Amazing! You rock, as always!! I take it you are calling it for the night. If so, have a good night.

joblackford, thanks for sharing the photo instruction thread.
