Croptoberfest

On Saturday I went to Tillsonburg with one of my bestest friends Jacquie, and her mom, and our friend Jen. We started at 9am, and we scrapbooked our little hearts out. I was only able to complete 4 double layouts, so 8 pages in total. That’s with pictures and journaling completed. It was hosted by a friend of theirs, and it was great to see so many ladies there. There was about 50 of us there. They had lunch for us, which was delicious, and door prizes, and snacks, music, and lots of great conversation.

Let me share with you 3 of the double layouts I made.

This one was made with Tempting Turquoise, Very Vanilla for the journaling. Summer Sun and then some Designer Paper, which was the Razzleberry Lemonade.

Old Olive, and Autumn Traditions Designer Series paper, as well as the Inspired by Nature stamp set. The frog is an actual picture we took in Cuba.

This was a very basic page, I used Very Vanilla for the 12x12, then I took the flower petals from my dinner and put them on with adhesive, I should have used sticky strip as they are starting to fall off. There is also Real Red for the photo mats, and then I sponged the edges of the page.

So, there you have it, 3 different double layouts, with 3 completely different designs, and feel. I hope that you enjoyed them, as much as I enjoyed making them.
If you’re interested in joining my Scrapbooking Club the next one will be starting in November. There only needs to be 8 people.

Classes at Western Fair

Hello fellow creative minds.

I am so excited about the fair. I know I've said it before, but it's so true. I'm excited for a few reasons. One I'll get to meet new people and customers. That's always a benefit, and I'll get to teach classes to people I've never met before, and maybe someone who's never made a card or a scrapbook page, and now they're hooked.

There are a few demonstrators that will be doing the classes. There's me of course, and Alesha my upline "boss" as well as Dani, Caitlyn, Loretta ( a new demo who rocks!!), and maybe Catherine.

So we took some pictures of some of the class projects we'll be doing. I'm very excited about the classes, and love the cards that the ladies have designed. I'm sure you will too.

This beautiful card will be made by Me on Monday Sept 14th at 5pm. If you want to know how to make this card, and actually do it with assistance be at the fair, and about 10 minutes before the class you'll be able to get a ticket. There are only 12 tickets per class. If you miss out on it, I'm sure we'll have a sign up sheet so that you can request a class at your home. Why not make it a work shop and invite friends over too, if it's a workshop we'll make more than one card, and you could earn free merchandise as well as hostess benefits.

This gorgeous card will be made by Dani, I believe on Friday Sept 18th at 12pm. It is more beautiful in person. I highly recommend this class as well.

So, here's two samples of the types of cards you'll be making. We're trying to give a variety of techniques, and colours, and birthday cards, to christmas cards, to thank you cards. Plus there will be 2 classes on scrapbook pages. I'll be doing a winter one, and Caitlyn will be doing a Halloween one. Check out the new site at http://stampinlondon.blogspot.com for a full schedule, as well it's on here. Can't wait to see you all at the fair.

Saturday Scrappin with the Girls

So, once a month I get together with some very dear friends of mine. In fact they are all like my family. We've known each other for more than 20 years. Yes I'm old. In fact I've know the one family for more than 30 years. Ouch! Anyway my point is this.... everyone who scrapbooks always says the same thing "I never have time". You have to make time. If we don't sit down and pick the next Saturday we'll meet we won't get it done. It's important for us to get together as women, and talk and laugh, and scrap whether we're sorting out the pictures we have, reliving memories we've shared or actually completing a few pages, it's time worth while, and well spent.

It's important to rejuvenate your spirit, for me that's through scrapbooking and sharing my passion with my friends. I really want to start a scrapbooking club, I know I have at least two people interested, but I need 8 in total. I'm hoping you'll be one of the 8. Contact me at kromyn@rogers.com to let me know if you're interested. The committment is 8 months, you must make an order of at least 20 dollars a month. You will be given one of the months as your own Hostess month where you'll earn a FREE Hostess Stamp Set, and FREE merchandise. You attend a class at my home with the other participants and you make 2 full double scrapbook page layouts.

I hope to hear from you. If I don't, I hope that you find that time to scrapbook, whether it's with me, or your good friends. Have fun, and destress.
