January Virtual Crop Challenges at The {Scrap} Beach

These are the Lay outs I made for the January Virtual Crop challenges at The {Scrap} Beach. I only finished three challenges but had a lot of fun doing it.

Challenge #1: Quit Smoking. Make a layout without using any black whit or grey.
(This layout is of our beloved Cat Bart when he was a kitten. We put him to sleep the morning I did this layout.)


Challenge #2: Quit drinking. Create a layout without using any ink.



Challenge #6: Invest wisely. Create a layout using something that you just had to have but don't use much.
(My wonderful Cricut is not only the tool I used for this Layout but it is the subject as well)

TWS November Mini Album for Kathryn

Here is the mini album I made for Kathryn at The {Scrap} Beach. She and I are trade partners for November. The theme was "Be Thankful you Turkey".
I am very late getting this done and in the mail to Kathryn as you can see. I had a very busy holiday season at work and have not been feeling well.
My apologies to you Kathryn.
I loaded this album with lots of tags for journaling. I hope that Kathryn will have many years of happy, Thankful memories and blessings to fill this mini album with.
I hope you enjoy the video. Please feel free to leave a comment letting me know what you think.
Happy Holidays and to all my wonderful friends.....please have a very happy and safe New Years Eve and a VERY healthy and prosperous 2010.

December Virtual Crop Prize for the {Scrap} Beach

Here is a video of the Vintage Christmas Kit I put together for a prize at tonights Virtual Crop hosted by Kathryn on Ustream. Kathryn has put together a wonderful on line community for scrappers called the {Scrap} Beach. If you have not joined in on the fun before, come on over tonight. She hosts a virtual Crop on the first Saturday of every month starting at 9pm {GMT-5} and goes for six hours. Kathryn is lots of fun and has fabulous ideas to get those photos into scrap pages instead of sitting in the computer. There is a new challenge every hour so you have the opportunity to get 6 pages done that you might not get done otherwise. If you can't make it to the crop or can't stay the entire time don't worry you have until 6pm {GMT-5} on Monday to get your pages done and submitted before the cutoff time to enter for the drawing. Each submission is a chance to win a prize. And she keeps the challenges up so you can always use the challenges as an inspiration when ever you want.
To get to her Ustream channel click HERE.
If you have not been to Ustream before there is a quick tutorial on how to access the Ustream chat HERE.
If you would like to see previous challenges from the Virtual Crop go HERE.
See you tonight on Ustream.
