Paris Crop Nametags

I'm hosting a Paris themed crop this Saturday.  I'm such a procrastinator... started working on our name tags today.  I have 65 name tags to make... This is what I completed today... Plus I cut all the pics and pc's for photo props using my Cricut.  Hopefully I will get the rest done tomorrow.

I have a feeling that I will use ALL my pink cardstock for this crop.  More pics tomorrow.

Storm Trooper Mini Album

Each month we have a crop of about 60 some of us.  And each month we have a different theme for the crop.  Our May crop was a Star Wars theme bc the crop day fell on Star Wars Day (May 4th).  Which also happened to be National Scrapbook Day. 

So I created this mini album to add my pictures from the Star Wars crop to.  My hubby and his friend, Michael built actual Storm trooper costumes to wear.  They were a huge hit, even with our local police officers who came over for pictures with the Stormtroopers and to join us for lunch.  

Here is the album I made... And below that is pics of our Stormtroopers.

1980s Pocket Letter

I love making pocket letters.  They are quick and easy.  Here is an 80s pocket Letter I created using cut files.  For the background, I splattered florescent tempera paint onto black poster board pieces cut at 2.5" x 3.5".

Going Away Party for Missy & Paul

My sister and her husband are moving to China! She's going over there to teach for a couple of years. We had a Going Away party for them today.  Here are some of the decorations I made.  It was hard finding China themed party decor ideas unless it was Chinese New Year, so I didn't do much... just made a few things.

This week's planner layout

I have started using my planner again... Although it's more of like a diary of what I have done bc I tend to use my cellphone calendar the most.  These printables are free over on Victoria Thatcher's website at https://www.victoriathatcher.com/

12x12 Crafty Layout

I started out scrapbooking layouts back in 2000, but now it seems like I get less than 10 layouts completed in a year bc I'm doing other paper crafts.  Here's one of the latest layouts I have made... Still need to print and add my pics to the layout.
