MONTHLY CROP - June

I almost forgot to take pictures at our June Crop.  Luckily some of my gals that helped with clean up were still there.  Here's what I did get:

 Kelly completed six 2-page layouts using the Blossom papers from Close to My Heart

Yes, we always find time to eat.  

Rita worked on her Seahawk album....GO SEAHAWKS!

Debra's working on her husband's album.

Janey worked on this mini album, and is it beautiful!

Judith working on her last trip.

I was busy preparing for my upcoming  card class and I finished a 2 page layout using flip-flaps.  This layout can hold at least 50 photos.  I'm anxious to share this with you when I get my pictures placed in the photo areas.

FATHER'S DAY CARDS

I used the Jackson papers from Close to My Heart to create these Father's Day cards.  I forgot to take the pictures of the other cards before I gave them out.  They were the same card with different stamps on the front.  I hope each of you had a chance to celebrate the day with those you love.

These cards can easily be used for birthdays and special occasions for men.

I love the beach scenes.  How about you?

HAPPY CREATING!

MONTHLY CROP

Every 4-6 weeks I offer an all day crop locally.  We have a great time and many get lots of creating done.  This is Kelly Whittier. She said I could share what she did this day.  Kelly gets her ideas from the Close to My Heart Seasonal Catalog and Pintress.  Check out her layouts below.  She just needs to go home and add pictures, journal and she is finished.

Blog Update

I want to update my followers of my absence.  I recently had surgery and have been non weight bearing on my foot.  This has limited me in my ability to get to my supplies for creating projects.  For this I apologize.  I still have two and a half more weeks before I can get to my craft studio.  I  just had some supplies brought to me so I can try to create in small spurts.  
I can say I am crutch challenged, but have mastered the wheelchair. I am very bored, and miss my crafts.  Have you ever been in this position?  
I promise to be back soon.  I do have pictures to post soon.  
Have a fantastic week and  HAPPY CREATING!
