Scrapbook Cottage Haul at Crop & Create.

I was planning on doing a week of Crop & Create...then my daughter had her son...my first grandbaby, so that went out the window, lol.
I had did the videos, but never got around to editing and uploading them to my Youtube channel.
I was a bit busy loving my adorable 1st grand baby :)

Well last night I made time to do the editing and uploading.
This is the goodies I purchased from the vender Scrapbook Cottage that was at the Crop & Create event put on by Scrapbook & Cards Today.
I love those wood veneer hearts <3 p="">

Here are the papers I picked up.
Look at that beautiful 6x6 paper pad...I wonder how long I will hoard it before I use it, lol.
When my friend (who also is a new grandma) saw this grandma and grandpa paper packs, we HAD to pick them up ;)

Here is the video I finally put up with closer details on what I purchased :)
To watch it on my YouTube channel, just click on my name :)  "Tracy's Treasures24"

This is the little cutie that has been taking up my time....I just can't get enough of him!!!!

But seriously who wouldn't want to hold this little cutie every second you can :)

I hope you all have a very creative day :)

Crop & Create's Goodie Bag

When I went to the Crop & Create event we all received this awesome goodie bag.
Look at all of these great products!!!
That fox is adorable...and I LOVE that deer head sticker as well....and how about those wood pieces...okay all of it is pretty great.

Not only did we get this awesome goodie bag, we also got one of their magazines!!!!
How great is that!!
I love a good scrapbooking magazine and "Scrapbook & Cards Today" is a great one :)

Catherine knows that I hold crops in my home, so she also gave me their Creative Cards magazine to give out at my crop.
How sweet is she!!!

Already looking forward to next year :)

I hope you all have a very creative day :)

Make & Takes from Crop & Create

Another fun thing we get to do at the Crop & Create event is to create some Make and Takes...if you want to wait in line.
But in all honesty when waiting in line, that is how I get to meet even more ladies :)
Mind you our city is probably one of the smallest ones to have this event, I couldn't imagine the bigger cities...I may have to try to go to one in the bigger cities out one day :)

Now isn't this a sweet card :)
Not only did we get to make this card, but we were also given the rest of the 12x12 cut apart sheet that this one came on!!!

Our teacher was Layle Koncar from Simple Stories.

The next make N take was this pocket, it had the longest line, because it was a more detailed card as we had to do a bit of colouring....which I didn't have my glasses with me, so excuse the "out of the lines" colouring, teehee.
I still think this cute pocket turned out pretty sweet.

Virginia Nebel taught this one.
Look at these poor ladies having to eat on the run as they were just so busy.

I think this may have been the quickest one of all.
"Joy" was to be stamped on the tag, but I decided to use a different stamp when I decide to mail this out....thats right, I have trouble following instructions :)

Nicole Nowosad taught this Make N Take.

We had a demonstration /Make N Take with the Minc machine.
It is such a fun machine...one I don't think I would use all that much, but fun none the less.

Vicki Boutin demo'd this one.
She really knows how to make that Minc sing, teehee.

This card was made playing with the Distress crayons.
I was happy to try my hand at them as I just purchased 3 sets for 20.00 on our local Craft Buy and Sell :)
I may have picked up a new set of colours from the Scrapbook Cottage ;)

This card/ Make N Take was taught by Sharon, the owner of The Scrapbook Cottage.
The Scrapbook Cottage is the vender that comes all the way from Manitoba (about an 8 hour drive) so us ladies have a store to shop at during the crop.
We are always so excited when Sharon and her sister Jen come, as they are so friendly, knowledgeable and our only place to shop as we don't have a local scrapbooking store in my city.

Every year we get to make a beautiful pendant.
I have all the ones that we have made and I get compliments on them whenever I wear them :)

This was taught by Catherine Tachdjian.
Catherine is the founder and publisher of Scrapbook & Cards today.
She is also the incredible lady that puts on this event...and we are so thankful for her.
This photo is at the photo wall of my friend Debbie, me, Catherine and my friend/SIL Sharon.
I will share more pics and goodies in future blog posts.

So thank you to all of the teachers, vendor and all of my friends for making this weekend such a special one <3 p="">
Onto My Day:
No crafting for me today.
I did pull out that scrapbook kit, picked out some cardstock, and put it all back a few hours later, lol.
But I did watch Season 4 of the Walking Dead ;)

I hope you all have a very creative day :)

Crop & Create 2016 - Day 1

I have to say the Crop & Create event put on by Scrapbook & Cards Today was an awesome event!!!
We always have a blast.
This year I brought kits.
I wanted my packing to be easier, and this way, I wouldn't have to bring 1/2 the stuff I own, lol.
Friday the crop started at 3:00 and lasted until midnight, so I brought a card kit I purchased from Pine City Scrapbooking.
Aren't these cards so cute :)

I also brought my Copic markers to colour in the images that needed to be coloured.
I brought my Copics home at the end of the night, so Sunday at the end of the crop, I would have less to pack up...at least I hoped that this would be the case.

Here are the last 2 cards from the kit.
Isn't that baby card so cute...and that silhouette card is gorgeous.

I did a lot of visiting (as I usually do) but didn't shop the first day...I know hard to believe right ;)
Don't fear though....this was just the first day of the crop.

I took a wee nap on the couch today as there were some late nights.
But have decided to have a Walking Dead marathon until the new season starts this Sunday.
Today is Season 1.

I hope you all have a very creative day :)

Crop & Create Weekend

I am so so excited!!!!!
It is the weekend of Crop & Create!!!
Crop & Create is a 3 day crop that Scrapbook and Cards Today puts on....and it is AWESOME!!
Can you tell I am excited :)

Can you believe this is all that I am bringing with me for a 3 day crop.
As my friend Denise said, we are either getting better at packing or maybe being more realistic on what we actually get done.
I think more realistic, lol.
I have brought a few kits, some I purchased and some I had put together.

Yes, I am bringing my Copics as well.
I am bringing a card kit and the images need to be coloured....so I will colour them tonight (as the crop is from 3:00-midnight today) and bring my Copics home with me when I leave.
It is less than 10 minutes away from where I live, so I will be heading home at the end of each night.

Now I'm not saying I won't be bringing anything new with me the next day.....but we will see how much I get done.
I seem to enjoy visiting too much as these events...plus they have a great vender there all the way from Manitoba called Scrapbook Cottage.
Oh my I'm so excited....it is going to be so much fun.

Hope you all have a very creative day...I know I will :)

Tracy :)
