2012 Autism Crop layouts

So over the weekend I went to a crop with my mom hosted by Scraptacular in Morgantown, PA. Besides antiquing and shopping along the way (see post later for that) we scrapbooked till our heart's content all weekend. Here are some of the layouts I did and some pics from the crop (I think I forgot to photograph a few layouts and I'm not posting the banner I made for my friend's bridal shower, as I don't want to ruin the surprise). In the crop we took some inspiration fro Pinterest (on my mom's ipad and my iphone) and some sketches we brought along. Through our findings, we found one double layout that worked fabulous as a jumping off point in our layouts.
I tried to do some older photos I've been meaning to crop, but never got to, so that's why a bunch of them have photos from 2010 and 2011, lol!
Anyways, enjoy.

It was a super-fun weekend with fellow papercrafters and hanging out with my mom.

It's Turkey Time

So I finally got around to photographing the rest of my scrapbook pages from the Crop for a Cure. Also, I worked on a few other things that I'll show later (including this year's Thanksgiving placecards for our table and my Friday Night Card Club November card). But, without further ado, here are some scrapbook pages. :D I apologize for the crappy photography. I still haven't figured out how to photograph scrapbook pages nicely, and these are taken on my iphone, while I try to get batteries for my camera and fix the battery door to the camera. (right now its busted so I have it taped up)

 (Thanksgiving at our apartment for the first time last year. Here is my parents, my in-laws, my nephews and sister-in-law, and my hubs. That and the table setting...aka...me trying to go all Martha Stewart on Thanksgiving. lol)

 (we made this layout during the crop, photo taken at the crop. I love stuff like that!)

 (photos from when my mom came to visit in March, we walked the New Hope canal)

(My nephew at Christmas after he got his baby cruising car. 

Too cute. I think these are by far my most favorite pictures yet of the little cutie. lol)

Have a great week before Thanksgiving! Do any of you plan on going Black Friday shopping? I would, but I have to work that day, and I don't know if I can handle getting up in the wee hours in the morning, THEN going to work. lol. I just finished re-watching the first Harry Potter movie. lol. My hubs and I are determined to re-watch all 6 movies before we go see the 7th Harry Potter movie probably on Sunday.
Anyways,
Have a great Friday!

Cropping for the Cure!

Sorry I never got around to posting anything for World Cardmaking day...it was a very busy day at Crop-for-the-cure and I didn't have a chance to photograph anything till I got home. My camera died, so I only have photographed half the stuff I did, so I apologize for the quality of the photos (took a bunch on my mom's camera, which I don't know how to use very well).
So I got a lot done at the Crop-for-a-cure...a lot of scrapbook pages, some cards, some altered items...lots of fun stuff. Then the day I got back to work on Tuesday I had some card orders for a co-worker, so I'll post those later as well.
Anyways, enjoy some of the stuff I did at the Crop for the Cure and a few quick photos of my mom and I at the crop.

(Me and my mom by the pink cement truck!)

(These are little notebooks I made for my neighbor's kids. Since we don't have any kids yet, I decided to make them a little fun something for halloween (besides the candy))

(card made at a stampin' up! workshop...we made 3 of these!)

(Me cropping at my space)

(one of the cards for my card club...they were mini cards)

(My mom and her cropping space...can you see all the 102 people there!?)

(Another Stampin' Up! workshop card)

I still have a few more layouts and cards to show you later, but they will have to wait till I can get batteries for my camera. Also, do any of you out there know a good way to photograph scrapbook layouts than how I have. I can never seem to get them perfectly clear or not glared. *sigh*
Crop crop crop! I hope everyone is having a great October. I love this time of the year! Pumpkins are my fav! I just have to convince the hubs to move our spare fridge so I can get to my Halloween decor before it's too late.
Have a great weekend all and stay tuned for more fun stuff!
