This past weekend, I took a road trip with a friend of mine, Wendy. We went to Arlington to go to the annual Great American Scrapbook Convention. It is a weekend full of classes, crops and all the shopping possible, devoted to scrapbooking! It was awesome. We left Wednesday afternoon, and we came home Saturday morning. It was great. We volunteered some, (they reimburse you), shopped like crazy, and spent 6 hours at a organized crop. All of this was on Thursday. Friday, we stayed at her mom's house and scrapped off and on all day. It was great. I had so much fun and look forward to next year.
I was bound and determined to get pages completed at this crop. I've been to a few, but haven't ever really gotten many pages done, usually it is about 2. This year was going to be different. I spent about a week and a half, pre-planning pages. I put the pictures into baggies, added embellishments that would work good, picked background colors, found letters, stickers, anything I might want to put on the page and added it all to the baggie. So I went semi prepared to the Convention. So, I completed 32 pages in about 20 hours. I spent 6 hrs Thursday, 8 on Friday and about 6 on Sunday scrapping. It has been great! I feel so good. My next project is going to be birthday invitations for Kaydence's birthday party. It is coming up quick. It is going to be a birthday/Fourth of July party. I'm making a double sided invite. I'll post the pictures when I get em done!! Here are the layouts that I got completed! They still need their journaling, and a few need the titles, but I will add those today or tomorrow and put them into their albums! Hope everyone had as good a weekend as I did!!
