#LCC - Lazy Craft and Chat July 19-21

Nope, not at all. I scrap using whatever supplies I think best fit the photos/story/memory of the page. I've added Mickey heads to some pages (I think EK Success did a pack of black/white/grey/red that kind of looked like enamel dots which I used a lot) but I figure the location in the album should make it clear those pages are all part of the Disney trip.

I never worry if the pages in my albums all have the same colour schemes or themes. Not all my WDW pages had Disney elements. I used zoo products for Animal Kingdom; dinosaur pp for Dinoland...  for Tom Sawyer pic’s I would go all rustic or fishing/camping/outdoor. If you have 3 wood dots to add a Mickey head, fine. If not, those pages can stand alone. I am assuming your title and/or journaling will give location. 

When I had pages like that, I (continued) using a Disney font for journaling, and I would use small Mickey heads for flower centers, or tuck them into embellishment clusters.

Did a little organization of the kid-type papers (school stuff, scouts, events, etc.)

Got it down to a stack of about 13", got a lot of it into 8.5x11 page protectors (multiple pages/protector). Now have to find some nice binders.

Hellllloooo scrappers (etc)....
Sounds like you have been productive! I was not able to check in as I wished because a) wow...busy exciting place! and b) I was super frustrated with the wifi/bluetooth situation at the venue, but got it figured out. I did win two door prizes...a small tin that is used for greeting cards, filled with three sets of SU stamps, and $25 worth of my choice of CTMH stuff. I got a lovely kit, some CS and some enamel dots.

grammadee I'm glad you are home and feeling better. I wonder what that is!

Stayed home to be with the tooth girl while the others went to church. Its also crop unpacking day. I'm wiped out. I stayed last night to pack up the grange where we had the crop. The lady that runs the charity sponsor is so kind and wonderful, but she also has a cracked hip that she is supposed to let heal! I know she is too stubborn to do so...so her whole family helps out and her lovely board members and some of us volunteers. I was home by 11 where my DD21 helped me unload the car.
I got 11 pages done, spent some time outside the house (I've been housebound for a bit due to trouble with DH's truck, he takes my car to work often), had some wonderful food, but now back to the way I should be eating.

DD's bf is coming over after church so I need to get my show on the road. My LOs will continue to arrive in the Flickr gallery, I need to retake some, I would share some pictures of us (me) from the evening but I swear I look drunk!

Just checking in for a few minutes. We went berry picking this morning. A little quiet time now, but we are having extended family for supper. Meat is in the portable oven on the deck, but in 30 minutes or so I will need to start putting the rest of the meal together. We have had a busy couple of days.

Good job organizing, @zingermack ! I had tubs of school projects and artwork toted to two different homes, then spend 30 years in boxes in the basement. I just went through all that stuff last spring, chucked what didn't mean anything any more, sorted the rest into 4 piles, one for each of the kids, and handed them each a box of photos and a bag of other memorabilia. They actually each had fun going through their packages and sharing memories. They took their packages home. No idea what will happen to them, but that is their choice.

Hope you get lots of creating done in the space and time you have carved for yourself, LisaDV and kitbop . Can't wait to see the results of your crop, 2marbles .

Sad that your weekend is over, Chinagirl828 and AussieMeg . Have enjoyed seeing all your pages in the Gallery.

Off to sneak a very short lie-down.

grammadee, berry picking, entertaining??? That doesn't sound like resting much. I hope you are feeling better. I'm so sorry you missed the crop with justjac. Enjoy the family today instead.

LisaDV, I'm sorry your brushes and ink are in different places. That's exactly what would happen to me if I lived between 2 places. I hope you have an enjoyable time by yourself. I hope DD is ok without you.

2marbles, I think 11 layouts sounds like a great accomplishment. Congrats on the prizes. How's the wisdom teeth girl doing today?

I gave up my usual Sunday afternoon nap to finish the wedding cards that I cut pieces for until the wee hours. I don't usually stay up late, but once I started cutting I didn't want to stop. I spent the afternoon putting them together. I have a bunch more with partially cut pieces that I plan to send to my DD who asked for a few while she was here in June. They probably won't get finished during the LCC because DH and I have an Addiction Recovery fireside tonight.

I am also working on a baby layout of our new GGD. I picked up some $ store stickers yesterday that should work well on it.

Oh I didn’t miss the IRL crop with justjac:  that is this upcoming weekend. Dd and the little man are leaving in the morning. Dsil left this evening to be sure he can meet the i packers at 8:30 in the morning  I had planned to drive up to their home tomorrow, then home Tuesday, and head to Calgary Thursday or Friday. But now plans have changed, so I have Monday & Tuesday at home, then drive to dd’s on Wednesday morning, and on to Calgary on Thursday. Saves me one round trip. 

My plan is to rest Monday, then spend Tuesday packing for the crop. Sticking with camping and road trip themes so I can scrap dd’s family’s adventures this summer. Taking a minimum of tools and extras, a few inks, but no wet media. Will be printing most of the pic’s on the way. 

I have two tubs of kids artwork/papers to go through as well. I want to get it out of my closet. Good job staying on top of that @zingermack!

LisaDV I'm sorry this weekend didn't turn out quite the way you envisioned it. I can relate to wanting them to go and missing them at the same time. I do that with Rudy lol. He's so high energy and talkative that I need some quiet, then once he's gone and I have a few hours of peace I start missing him lol. Your ink pad/brush dilemma sounds exactly like something I would do lol.

teacherlisa I love the way you journal. Your pages are inspiring me to tell different stories. And have me thinking about one of the AE subs lol.

LavenderLayoutLady you rock! Finished off supplies is awesome!

I did no scrapping at all, so I guess my weekend didn't turn out the way I thought it would either. I am not inspired by my unfinished projects so I guess I need to let them go and move on to something I am feeling inspired by. I did go shop for new inspiring supplies though

thank you for asking....she is ok, meds making her queasy and tired. But we are on to soft solids now instead of liquid food! She will go back to work tomorrow as there has been no bleeding, and she isn't taking narcotics during the day at all. 

Today was full of expensive car repairs for my middle DD and me finishing up taking pics of my weekend LOs, sorting through some donations that were brought to me yesterday for the charity shop. I have one more LO to upload for double points! whoo hoo!
