Sorry for the delay

Things have been pretty hectic around here so it has been a while since I have posted anything and I appologize. For those of you who don't already know. Mat and I are expecting our first baby on April 27th next year. So as I'm sure you are able to guess we have had a lot of planning and shopping and organizing to do. I will try and get some new artwork up soon. I have been taking lots of pictures and have started my pregnancy scrapbook but I haven't printed any of the pictures so once I have done that I will add some more in and post them.

Thanks for your patience.

Crop till ya Drop August 23rd

My first 12 hour crop was this past Saturday August 23rd. It was a blast, we had 22 girls all scrapbooking in one room from 9am -9pm.

The room was a little cramped, and I didn't realize there was air conditioning until about 4:30 in the afternoon but other than that the day went without a problem. I think everyone got lots done, met some new friends and learned some new techniques.
Here are some pictures of the day.
The next one in Jan will be in a bigger room with a lot more space. If you are interested in being contacted with details of the next one, email me and I will add you to my mailing list. scrapwithandrea@gmail.com
Hope everyone that was there had a good time. I can't wait to see you all at the next one.

Crop till ya Drop Make and Take

These are the two projects I had available for everyone to make at the crop on Saturday. Almost everyone made them and I think they liked them. I think they are cute.

Having some fun!

Ok so as you can see I have had a little bit of fun with my blog today and added a little personality to it. Let me know what you think of the change and if there is anything that should be changed.

Why do I love stamps????

THIS IS A CHALLENGE!!!

This paper started out as a Daisy White peice of cardstock. Using the June stamp of the month and the spot on backgrounds stamp sets I turned it into this. The colours are Kiwi, Carnation, Bamboo, and Breeze.

Now it's your turn, random stamp a piece of white paper and make it into something unique, email me your finished projects and I will post them on here.

Goody Box

This is a cute little box that I made that will be filled with close to my heart goodies for everyone that will be attending the crop!

stationary box

I have been very busy getting things ready for my 12 hour crop on August 23rd. This is one of the door prizes. It is a stationary box with 5 full size cards, 7 3x3 cards, and 6 gift tags.
It was fun to make.

Good Times cards

This is another set of cards I have been working on this month. This one took a bit more time than the more to adore one, but I'm happy with the outcome. I used the good times paper packet. And to make the random stamped paper I used the Party Invitation stamp set.

More to Adore cards

This month I have been making a bunch of cards. I really should get back into actual scrapbooking but I am having so much fun with these instead.
These cards are made using the more to adore paper packet. To make the random stamped paper I used the stamp set Because I love you. This is example of what I would put together to do an in home wokrshop. Ask me how you can have a workshop and make a set of 9 matching cards!

June Stamp of the Month

I had a lot of fun playing around with the June Stamp of the month. It's a super cute stamp set but it is also very versitile. So here are a couple of creations I made using it.
Enjoy!!

Summer Sweetness

I got this new stamp set in my last order and I love it. Here are a couple of projects I have done with it, now I need to have people over to eat watermelon so I can have pictures to go on the layout. The colours are watermelon, and topiary textured cardstock that was sanded.

Wedding Album Catch Up

I got out my Imagine layout book and made a couple of layouts for my wedding album that I have been trying to finish for 2 years now. These are what I came up with. I used 1 shilouette level 2 paper pack plus some papers I had bought right after my wedding. I can't wait to pick out picture and title for all these layouts. I also used my sewing machine for the first time on paper and love the look and texture it gives the pages. I will upload the completed layouts once I get pictures put on them.
