Creativity just pours out of these people!!

Sorry this post is so late. it literally took me about 4 hours to do this and i finally gave up and uploaded small photos. Lesson learned...

Here is the September kit full of cute adorable goodness! I can't wait to see what everyone makes!

Here are the amazing flowers from the flower swap. A ton more photos below...

Last month's meeting was so amazing!! Sorry it went so long but with our last minute surprise guest, there was just not enough time! Jim from Provocraft was kind enough to demo the new Gypsy machine for us. It is definitely amazing and opens up a whole new realm for Cricut users! I can't wait to get my hands on one of these!

Gloria has 2 cricuts at her house that she has not even used.. I think I see her using in the future though!

Thank you Jim for taking time out of your busy schedule to show us this amazing device. We feel privilaged to be among the small number of people to have been able to see the Gypsy in person!

Look how mesmorized everyone is! Serioulsy, its a great new toy- I mean tool! :)

Hi Ladies.

I am so excited about upcoming stuff for book club!! First of all I want to offer up 2 book choices. Handmade or Scrapbook Trends. They are both bi-monthly publications from Northridge Media. We would be using the next issue. All of their magazines are beautiful and have great ideas inside. Please let me know which you would prefer by leaving a comment here...

Also, dont forget... I need your mini book photos!!! See the post below for guidelines.

If you dont send them you will not have a make and take to do at the September meeting. :(

I finished my flowers... They are on my blog...

You need to make 28 of them. so get on it!!

I will find some cute boxes for us to collect them in and at the end of the next meeting, we will do some flower picking!

I NEED TO KNOW HOW MANY OF YOU HAVE NOT RECEIVED YOUR COPIC MARKER PLEASE LEAVE A COMMENT IF YOU HAVE NOT.

and lastly, I will be out of town on November 5th. I have never missed a book club and would like to change the date to Nov 12th. the following Thursday. Please let me know if this will work for you by leaving a comment here.

AND dont forget Free Scrapbook Club Crop on The 6th of September! NEED TO CALL THE STORE TO SIGN UP. I will bring the Canon Printers so you can print photos for free!! BRING A SNACK TO SHARE.

Thanks so much! See you soon!

Aug 2009 Meeting Wrap up!

I NEED PHOTOS!! I can't believe I forgot to take photos of the projects last night!! Please please send me a picture of what you brought to book club!

I knew it had to be a full moon last night! We were missing 13 members! So weird! But it was still very fun.


Before I forget!! THE DATE OF THE CROP IS Sept 6th. 12 noon-5pm, at Pink Pineapple. I KNOW IT IS LABOR DAY WEEKEND. SO SORRY FOR THOSE OF YOU GOING OUT OF TOWN... IT WAS THE ONLY DAY AVAILABLE. I will prepare a bonus make and take so I need a count. LEAVE A COMMENT HERE IF YOU ARE COMING. Please bring your fav scrapbooking snack to share.

Here are the kits I gave out. soooo cute stuff!! I also added a little bonus adorable birdie clip that I found in Solana Beach at Solo, one of my fav places for inspiration!

The kit was all Fancy Pants! Mixed media book. love love love it! Awesome cards and paper and note cards. Threw some flowers in there as well as some orange and green centers I picked up in LA. I am very excited to get crafting!

~*~*~*~*~HOMEWORK!!!*~*~*~*~*~

Next meeting I will be bringing the Canon Printers with me as well as the 3x3 mini book kits that I ordered for us. They are super cute! I put one together as a sample. BELOW So here is what you need to do ... send me 12 photos for the inside and 1 bfor the outside. The outside photo CAN cover the entire front and back of the book. meaning I can resize it to look like it does below, or you can send me a panoramic photo or something else creative that will span the entire front and back. If this does not make sense, let me know.

IF YOU ALSO PROVIDE ME WITH A TITLE. I CAN ADD IT TO THE COVER AND SPINE FOR YOU. :) SUPER CUTE!

There is a way to add text into the books but you will be doing this by hand. (Hence the handwritting book :)) I will have the books printed and ready for us to assemble and decorate. SO EMAIL ME YOUR PHOTOS!!! 12 for the inside and 1 for the outside.

super cute project for next time!!!

And here is our lovely Kat who's Black white and craft project was picked 3 times! She won a $50 gift card for Pink! Soooo cool! She brought her beautiful creation to share so I will post photos when she emails them to me.

HANDMADE FLOWER SWAP

Krystie would like to join us so make 28 flowers 2"-4" for using as embellishments. Due next meeting! Can't wait to see what you all make!

Teri created this beautiful piece using a CI dress form. She wrote the lyrics from the show-stopping aria from the opera "Carmen" on the butterfly wings. The butterfiles on the skirt say "love is a gypsy child" in French. A gift for her Mother. So beautiful! see more photos of her project on her blog
