Crop for a Cure in Mobile...

So the crop was awesome! Everyone was really nice, lots of scrappin was to be had, and there were tons of prizes and auctions! Colleen came with to help out, thanks Colleen!!! Melissa did an awesome job again this year. Hopefully it put her very near to her monetary goal for the 3-day walk in Tampa. You can check out her blog to check out crop pics, or to send a donation her way to help her reach her goal here.

So, we held a contest for the croppers over there, where they purchased a $5 kit from our booth, made whatever they wanted out of it, and we chose a winner at the end of the day. Well, the layouts were all so good that we actually chose 2 winners and a handful of honorable mentions. Here is a photo of ONE of the winners, hopefully Colleen will get the other photos up soon!


This layout was so cool because Ashley, the designer, cut the scalloped edge off of the whole paper, and put it on pop dots, so the layout literally looked like a shadow box! And look at that ribbon on a boy layout! Way to go Ashley!

Check for an email from us tomorrow telling how you could be the winner of a $50 gift certificate!

Contest winner...

So, we included 4 additional numbers for the emailers who couldnt figure out how to comment on the blog, and then we drew one number. The number we drew is lucky number: 3 !!!

And here's the third comment:

You Know You're a scrapbooker when...

I saw this cute little article by Melissa Wilson in an old scrap magazine, and thought I would share it with you guys!

You know you're a scrapbooker when...
~You usually have a camera with you.
~You wonder if you'll ever get caught up.
~You have tools your husband doesn't know how to use.
~You pull buttons off old, unused, or outgrown clothes to use on a layout.
~You know who Lisa, Becky, Ali, Jennifer, and Tim are.
~THe clerks in your local scrapbook store know you by name.
~Your house is a mess because you've been scrapbooking all day.
~You know what CK, CKU, CKC, HOF, SOY, and KOTM stand for.
~You can spot an Elsie sticker faster than you can say Louis Vuitton.
~You check online galleries and blogs more than you check the news.
~You save the ribbon off Godiva chocolate boxes to use on your pages and cards.
~You change your child's outfit to match the paper you just bought...so you'll have the perfect photo to go with the paper.
~Your scrapbook bag is the first thing you pack for vacation, prompting your husband to mention something about your priorities.
~You know that scrapbookers don't lie, we embellish.




How do YOU know you're a scrapbooker??

Post a comment telling us how you know, and on Friday a randomly chosen comment will win a My Mind's Eye paper pack, containing 6 sheets of MME paper, 3 coordinating embellishments, and a pack of MME ribbon to match!~
