World's Largest Crop pages

Last weekend was World's Largest Crop, an annual event sponsored by local Creative Memories consultants. 1500 people under one roof making scrapbook pages. I caught up with a couple of old friends and had a great time while I made nine scrapbook pages (that's a lot for me in one day). It's also a chance to take a break from the daily routine and let Daddy take care of the kids (which he did well: he took them kite flying at the park). I posted five pages; the other four aren't anything special in my opinion.



These two I started at my regular Friday night crop, but finished at the big crop. Some of the pictures already have been posted on my blog under the title "Snowman Hill"; I liked the sound of that so I used it for the album pages, too.

The light blue snow paper and the snowman are from a kit I bought years ago and recently unearthed while I was changing over to a new system of paper storage. I thought it would look great with the snowman pictures. The title is cut from cardstock after tracing with an alphabet template. The journal box I made yesterday with my stamps.

Supplies:
snow paper, white CS, orange CS, black CS: Leaving Prints (company now defunct I understand); dark CS from my stash

stamps: CTMH Flurries and The Beauty of Christmas (both retired)

ink: second generation Lilac Mist and Spring Iris; black pen




This is the second kit I bought years ago, etc. I had to resize the fireplace because the original took up most of the page, leaving no room for pictures (and even I didn't leave much). It's not my style to have the embellishments outshine the pictures, but once in a while it's OK.

Supplies:
green plaid paper, cardstock: Leaving Prints kit
red paper (for letters): My Mind's Eye
Stockings, holly leaves, presents, pattern for fireplace and tree: Leaving Prints kit
Fireplace cardstock sponged with Desert Sand ink
Captions written with a silver Creative Memories pen



This is the last page of my 2007 album. (All my friends--OK, all but Jeanne-- are so jealous that I'm practically caught up!) The four pages I skipped use similar paper and are more Christmas pictures.

Supplies:
red holly paper: Paper Pizazz/Hot off the Press
cream holly paper: Die Cuts with a View
green CS from my stash
embellishments are from the same Leaving Prints Christmas kit
black pen
