Brook in a Pickle

Rusty Pickle that is! LOL! This months paper sponsor at Scrap Shanty is Rusty pickle. They sent an acrylic tag album and Pop Star paper for us to play with. This is what I came up with.

This LO is like a digi Quick Page. All I had to do was just plop the picts down on the page. I did do a little altering.

Convention

I have to say that I had a blast working the convention. I had the most hectic and fun filled time meeting new people telling them about product and sharing my love for scrapping.

I didn't get there until day two. Here we can see Carolyn still looking quite chipper.










Here are some pictures of the booth. It was gorgeous, filled with eye candy and product. Sherri and Carolyn really out- did themselves on the design.

Here is the bain or our existance. There was a power surge and it took out cash register out. So for two hours while Nolan was out getting a new cash register, we had two calculators. We were counting out change old school. My brain has never worked so hard! Oh and did I mention even with a calculator, the line was wrapped around our booth?

Thank goodness for Ruthie. She stepped right in and helped us. She has a way with a crowd. She was calm cool and collected. Ruthie is my hero!

Nolan was a hoot! He was hawking for us. "Let's hear it for the Crafty Scrapper!" "Come on in to The Crafty Scrapper!" Plus he was putting n big plugs for the Waxahachie Chamber of commerce and tourism there on the square, so I think the whole town of Waxahachie owes him a debt of gratitude.

Once Nolan got back with a new register, he was able to get the old register working as well so we had two registers going!

Here we are at the end of day 2. Still smilin'.

Notice there are no pictures of day three. I only got out of the booth to go to the restroom and visit the bra ladies. (I needed to get two things at convention and managed to come home with neither!)

Carolyn decided to work the crop that night....so we did that. Here we are after the crop. Heidi is looking peppy still.

Joanna helped with tear down and the crop. Here she is helping Nolan load the truck.

Carolyn is all business here with Nolan's handy dandy all purpose knife.

By the time I was finished with only two days of convention....I was toast. It has taken me a day and half just to gather the energy to post about it. I'm tired, but still filled with my scrappy high! I hope that all the new friends that we made will join us in Waxahachie soon! It was really awesome to be part of the most popular booth at the convention!

I was really too tired to come up with a new post....so this is the same one I posted on TCS design team blog.

USA

Happy Memorial Day! I thought I would share a LO that I did the other day. This is a LO of my two great uncles home on leave from WWII. I had uncles in every branch of the service. During WWII, two were killed and two were injured. So on days like today, it is nice to remember those who came before.

The journaling says...those that stand it now deserve the thanks and love of every woman and man-Thomas Paine

I used Jenni Bowlin and Simply Luxe papers. Luxe alphas and the doodle roller. Glitz Icing.

Austin Concert

I had the most awesome and productive weekend. I had the fantastic opportunity to spend a free day at The Stolen Moments Inn with several of my good friends and my mom scrapping and creating. Thank you Susie for such an awesome weekend.

While I was there I created a few LOs. This first LO is for my Son's Band Competition down in Austin. I only wanted to use one page, but I wanted to use the
the four pictures. So I made it into a pull out and a flip boook.

The big star pulls out to show another picture. I don't know why I don't have a picture of it. I also see that I need to cover the back of the star.

I used Jenni Bowlin Paper and Simply Luxe. The stars are Jenni Bowlin and the treble cliff is Maya Road.

Lukes' band got a first division and was chosen best in class. I was so proud of him! I will be sharing some more LOs of him tomorrow.

I always feel recharged and ready to create even more!

Some More LOs

I haven't shared any LOs in a while. But here are a few!

Some of these were for challenges like the butterfly and the pink LO and in Sams mind. Cleanliness and the Big Organic flower and Luke in a tree were for Kris Myers. I did the play and explore for Andrea Gold. The rest were just playing around. I was kind of counting things up and so far for the 2008 year...I have done at least 115 scrappy projects. Not too bad. I still have the summer to go!

Retirement Card

I made this card the other day for a retirement party. (This card was not my unique creation. I saw it on another blog but can't remember where.) There was a little story about her getting locked outside of her house....and this card just made me think of her. It was really fun to make. TFL.

National Scrapbooking Day

Well....I have to say that I had the greatest time at The Crafty Scrapper on National Scrapbooking Day. These are two of the LOs I made and two books as well as the make and take that I taught. There is one more LO and a mug that I made from 10 second studio that I will share later.
