some crop layouts

If you're even wondering what a crop is, check out this post:

so, what does a crop look like?


I got these pages done Saturday at a LSS (local scrapbook store) with some fun friends, some yummy treats, and good background music!

My C-Bus friend M, I finally scrapped a lo of just me and her!

another c-bus friend, J, we love being random together and can give eachother one look and totally know what the other is thinking....

swinging with another c-bus friend, m.....such a fun day, minus my ankle deep step into mud!

D and his fellow chief residents, these guys work so well together and have built a reputation of excellence!

yup, another lo with my typical face :)

If You're Going to San Francisco.......

D and I went to SF in May and I finally finished the album. If you know me, you know that I do ALL of our vacation albums (about 1x year) in Basic Grey. This was no exception (except I threw in a little from my stash of (shhh) other products). I used my Basic Grey that I've been hoarding. To be honest, some was hard to part with, because it was sometimes the last sheet I had, or a favorite I should have put up in a frame! ha!

*ok, so these pics were taken pretty quick...I just wanted to get them up so I could then post my other projects.

I created the San Fran bridge on SCAL

What I'm working on!

Look for upcoming posts with:

Our San Francisco album: another travel book using Basic Grey.....this time, stuff from my stash! I know, I know, hard to part with some of it but I'm putting it to use!

Winnie the Pooh baby book: for my cousin. I'm using those We Are memory Keepers pages with the different photo sleeve sizes, embellishing a few, leaving some blank for photos, and adding journaling spots (think...growth chart..). I'm mixing Pooh with My Mind's Eye "stella and rose" - mabel line. colors work great and it is great mix of kiddish fun and sophisticated supplie!

Cards for a friend's great aunt: her order is pushing my creativity! Think dried flowers, simple patterns, and muted colors. all with specific instructions for sentiments too.

A make and take: the annual CS garage sale is coming up! I'll be doing a make and take there, watch for details and a couple how-tos on the blog!
