Yes, I do see the humor in the fact that I am hosting a scrapbooking crop and have only attended 1 before in my life! Hopefully I will be able to pull it off- Thursday night I packed my stuf to take with me to the crop- being that I am more concerned with all the details of making the event happen I didn't want to spend a lot of time sorting and packing- so my solution... bring it all... well not ALL but a lot... instead of sorting through paper- I just grabbed my 4 most grabbed paper containers... (for those that want to know they are my American Crafts 1 & 2 container, Jillibean Soup and my favorites container- where I put all my other favorite pieces of PP that I want to use) I also grabbed a stack of white cardstock and a few different shades of brown! After that I pulled my oh.... 20 or so favorite packs of thickers, and filled up 2 big ziploc bags with embellishments and a layout holder with stickers. Finally I grabbed my punch tote with all my favorite punches and I threw in my go to stamp pads, stamps and pens. I printed pictures in common sizes I use for 6 different layouts...to be honest- I will be happy if I complete 2 of the 6 ;) so I think I am all set!
I also finished up the last layouts for the crop kits... the "be silly" layout of my niece Anna and her BFF Maddie is my favorite of the lot...so fun to do a girly page every now and then! "Whoooo loves you?" and "1st Day" are both slight revisions to layouts I had done before... but also are 2 of my faves of the bunch! So off to begin set up and get things ready to roll! Have a Happy Saturday- I know I will!
Hi Shannon!
A question for you...do you print your own pictures @ home or do you use an outside service? I love the white borders on your photos and ALL of your layouts! Thanks for sharing!!

That was the best crop ever! I'm so glad we made the trip for it. It just cracks me up that it was your second crop!
Last night I was lifting a couple of your layouts (and altering to 11x8) using the Love kit. I came home with sooo much inspiration.
It was great meeting you. (I enjoyed your church, too!)
Today I uploaded my crop layouts to my blog.
