A crop Layout

Here is a page I had done at my Scrap for Heart crop I attended last Saturday.
See Nancy, I did more then just Wayne's birthday card, teehee.

If you remember I have a little 6x6 album (two actually) for layouts I do that involve crafting with my friends.
These are the latest layouts I made for that album.

I know I have shared these photos of my friends quite a few times in layouts or just on my blog or Facebook page, but I really love them.
I love the backdrop that the ladies from the Crop and Create event put up and also love the photo that Catherine (the founder and publisher of Scrapbook & Cards Today) took with my cell phone :)

I had to play with that banner punch that Wayne bought me for Christmas…its just so cute.

Here is the full 2 page layout again.
If you would like to take a peek into my 1st 6x6 mini album, I have done a video and here is a link to that ;)

I little bit of cropping

I had a blast at my crop last Saturday.
I enjoyed teaching my class, and I hope the ladies and young girl who took it had a great time as well.
I can't tell you how much fun we had.
I am posting some photos, but haven't asked my friends if I could post the silly photos of them…its great when I take the photos, as I'm not in the silly ones ;)

I had to make Wayne a birthday card while I was there.
I didn't have any of my stamps,
I didn't have any of my Copics,
So this is what I came up with :)

Here is my group of friends :)
These girls are such a fun bunch.
We laughed so much I cried away my make up, lol.
There were 3 newbies to our group this year :)

Now don't we look like a creative group concentrating on our work ;)

I don't think Lynne liked our teasing to much ;)
She loves us, really she does.

Great friends, great laughs, great food and a great time creating.
I hope you all had a creative Monday :)

Happy 50th Birthday Wayne :)

Today is my husband Wayne's 50th Birthday :)
Now you would think that being such a special day we would have a big celebration.
If you thought that….then you don't know my Wayne.
He is a very private and shy guy.
So he didn't want a party, he didn't want a fuss and he only wanted to have our daughters and I to celebrate his day with him.
He was so adamant about not having a party, that he didn't tell me until the last minute where he wanted to go for his birthday dinner, in fear of me setting up a big get together at the restaurant, lol.

Ashley came over in the afternoon and we presented Wayne with his gifts.
We put together this large gift basket with all the things he loves.
Lots of movies, video games, popcorn, pop, Walking Dead glasses and we even got him a few treats.
With our eating clean we haven't had any treats. but we picked him up some black licorice (yuck), liquorice allsorts (yuck) and even a chocolate bar.

Here are our beautiful girls at the restaurant.
Love these girls to pieces :)

I had chicken and a twice baked potato for supper.
Heather had a chicken caesar salad.
The other 3 all had steak.
We all enjoyed our meals.
We also had calamari for an appetizer…yumm.

I hope you all had a creative day today and I am sure a lot of you are watching the Superbowl tonight.
We are watching a marathon of the Walking Dead here ;)

Blogger temporarily Unavailable

I am at my yearly crop, Scrap for Heart.

I don't seem to be as organized as most years. 

Oh well, having a blast with my friends.  Yes I think we may be the loudest table yet again.

Sorry to my surrounding scrapers ;)

I hope you had a very creative Saturday :)

Valentines Treat Pocket Class…using up your scraps

I am going to finally share my class project that I am going to teach at the Scrap for Heart crop I am attending this Saturday….wow that is tomorrow :)

Because the teachers are all volunteering their time and supplies for these classes, (as this is a charity event for the Heart and Stroke foundation) I had to come up with something, quick, inexpensive and (hopefully) fun.
So I came up with these Valentines Treat Pockets.
Of course you can make them any theme you like, but decided on Valentines as it is the next holiday :)

I used envelopes and paper scraps….now I know we all have a few of those laying around :)
The pocket in the middle I put treats in, but the one on the end I will use for a pocket in my scrapbook or Smash book :)
I am linking this project up to Paper Issue, "Fill 'er Up" Challenge

As an added bonus, I made a video on how i made these and also how I mad the accordion embellishment out of a cupcake wrapper.
Here is a link to this project on my
YouTube Channel Tracy's Treasures24

I hope you all had a very creative Friday.
I am off to get ready for FNS and double checking my bags for the crop tomorrow.
I keep thinking I haven't brought enough supplies as one of my bags is only 1/2 full.

Dining/Craft table

My Craft Dining table came in today and it looks so pretty.
It is a bit big for my dining room, but it has two leaves in it, so we can take one out when my crafting friends aren't here :)

I was a bit surprised that it didn't come assembled already.
I was even more surprised that they didn't put them together once they delivered them.
The delivery men put some carpet runners down as to not get snow on my carpet, I couldn't figure out why they just didn't take off their boots.
That was until I realized that they were just bringing in the boxes….not putting them together.

I phoned the company and was told we would have had to pay extra at the time of purchase to get them assembled. I am sure Wayne would have happily paid the extra to get them put together.
It would have been nice if we were informed of that at time of purchase.
But Wayne is taking tomorrow off, so I thought we could have some bonding time.
Kristy said if you and dad put them together, I'm not going to be around…dad goes insane when he does these things, lol.

So as I packed up for my crop on Saturday, Wayne put together all the chairs.
He put these chairs together like a boss ;)
I did have to help every once in a while, but nothing to major.
I did unassembled our old table though ;)

Lets take one more look, isn't it pretty :)
I am going to pick up a table cloth with a felt underside and a vinyl top for scrapbooking nights though ;)
And a table runner for my decorative bowl :)

About me packing up for my crop…I feel I haven't packed enough.
My main bag isn't even half full, that's not right. Even though I do have 2 other smaller bags that I am taking ;)

I hope you all had a creative Thursday :)

Class kits all packed up

I have all the kits ready for my class on Saturday :)
Can you tell its a Valentines theme ;)
Now to pack for the actual crop.

I got a call today to tell me that our new table is coming tomorrow.
Don't you love it when you get something early ;)
Now lets just hope they were right and we do receive it tomorrow.
Bye, bye table, you have served us well though the years ;)

I had to take Heather to the dentist today, as they found a little cavity on her last check up.
The rest of the day I was either surfing the net while watching Hannah Montana, lol.
Kristy was reliving her youth as she has a real bad cold and was on the couch most of the day.
I never had the television on during the day.

I hope you all had a wonderful creative Wednesday :)

Tracy :)
