I've been busy putting together my BC Scrapbooking Crop for Kids class layouts this past week...after the rush of packing up and coming home from our long stay at Shuswap Lake...I still have loads to do in order to be once again organized! Well, maybe just to keep my head above water, who am I kidding ;)

I've used the 'For Always' paper and embellies and our new Cricut Artbooking cartridge! Can I just say that our new exclusive cartridge is AWESOME!!!! I've only just scratched the surface as the possibilities are endless! Going to work on designing a 6x6 mini-album this week as a surprise to all my class attendees for the Crop for Kids weekend...shhh! Don't tell them, it's a surprise ;)

But I do have to say that this class in September is going to be fantastic! Just sayin' 

There are still spots available to attend this event on Sept. 27-29, 2013...you can click HERE to read all about it and to sign up! I'm not sure how many seats are left so get one while you can as this is an awesome fundraising event and you will come away from this weekend charged! There are always oodles of prizes, even more in the classes and lots of great donated items from all over the Fraser Valley on Silent Auction too! Hours of crop time...what are you waiting for?!!

Stay tuned for sneak peeks of this upcoming class and more creations with all the wonderful new products in our newest catalog!

Oh! I almost forgot! I wanted to show you this month's stamp of the month! Except that this month with every $50 minimum order...you get this month's stamp set FREE!!! 

How mouth watering is this 'A Chocolate Affair' stamp set?!!! 

Stamp set images are HERE

Thanks for stoppin' by!

I'm off to BC Crop 4 Kids...

Instructions written (should've started that task a couple weeks ago!) and copied (phew)...kits all cut and packed (phew) and I might even get some sleep in before I go...or not!

I am just remembering that I should pack some stuff to do while I'm there too...I would like to do some scrapbooking myself, even though I'm super excited and nervous about my two classes...I always think I like my layouts but it is also always a little scary wondering how everyone else will like them!??

I am super duper excited to be staying at the hotel, even though I live close and of course, getting to stay up late, chit chat with my scrappy sisters and create!

Here's some sneak peeks of my Close To My Heart class on Sunday...I'm so glad I got my wooden shapes when I did as we sold out of them and they aren't being reordered! 

lots of fun bright colours in these Footloose papers...they were definitely my favourite papers of this summer!

I have two other layouts, a single and a double that I still have to take photos of! I forgot to take one of the Bonus single I created from the left over bits...and a couple hours ago, I decided to make some changes to another layout that I wasn't 100% pleased with...so an extra hour or two of Cricut cutting and re-stuffing kits (no problem) and at approximately 4:00AM, Friday, I think I'll get a couple hours of sleep and then pack some stuff for me to work on for when I'm not teaching classes :)

countdown to classes @ BC Crop 4 Kids...

Today I want to show you some photos of the class I will be teaching on Saturday, October 6th from 10:00am - 12:00pm for this fantastic Fundraising Crop which benefits BC Children's Hospital...it's called BC Scrapbooking Crop for Kids and it is so much fun!

This class is being sponsored by Bryan Heidinger and he's the Owner of a great Scrapbook shop in Downtown Abbotsford called Paper Nation!

I have created two double-paged layouts and two single paged layouts using a My Mind's Eye collection called 'Indie Chic' which came in some fantastic colours!

this kit includes a FULL package of American Crafts Thickers

also, a FULL package of MME decorative brads

a FULL package of MME decorative buttons and various journalling spots and die cut bits...

I've even cut some felt bits and die cut shapes for us to create our own handmade embellishments...

 I love this Jute twine...such a great texture to add here...

and remember those corner rounders, circle punches and scallop punches? well we are bringing them back here and I'll show you WHY these are the best 'staple' tools in your stash!

If you're coming this weekend, I'll see you there...if you've only got a few hours to spare...have a look at this years classes and just come on down to the Ramada and sign up for one of them! They are taking late sign ups all the way until the classes start, unless they are sold out of course! Which is our goal seeing as 100% of that class fee is going directly to BC Children's Hospital!

Thanks for stopping by!
