National Scrapbooking Day!

National Scrapbooking Day is May 3rd this year. My 3rd Annual Crop will be held at my home from 10 to 10. This crop is free of charge and the only requirment is that you bring a snack to share and your own drinks. All other food will be provided (lunch and dinner).

There will be make-n-takes and goodie bags and a drawing for prizes.

RSVP is a must as space is limited.

Keep checking back for updates!!

Happy Monday!!

Monday's are not usually anyones favorite day, but today is a good day! I've been getting so much done it's actually scaring me.

Today I'd like to do a poll and see if anyone responds to it. I know that I'm not the only scrapbooker out there that frequents message boards and forums. So the question is, what do you look for in a message board or forum? What would you like to see that maybe you're not seeing now on the message boards or forums that you frequent the most? What do you like or dislike about the message boards and forums that you frequent now?

So many questions!! These are things that I'd like to know and would actually be interested in learning about. The ultimate message board or forum, what would be your ideal?

Hope you post your thoughts!! If you would rather not post your comments here, you can email me at susiescrapper@gmail.com. I would really appreciate any comments that you have.

Have a Great week.

It's Saturday!

It's Saturday and I've been scrapbooking all day! I've only actually done 1 layout and 1 card, but I'm actually scrapbooking. Shocker, I know!! I did a challenge for the online crop and did a card for the card challenge. The card actually turned out pretty good, better than I thought it would. After it's posted on IScrap.net, I'll post it here. Don't want to spoil the surprise of the challenge for IScrap!

The online crop is going good and it's a lot fun. I've been playing games and still have a few challenges to finish up and post. I just wish I could get the knack of taking pictures of my layouts! I've tried everything, but I can't seem to be able to take good pictures. I've gotten better, but still have a ways to go. I think my camera just hates me! lol

Hope you're having a great Saturday and enjoy the rest of your weekend!!

I'm posting this for some friends that are having an online crop tomorrow and it looks like it's going to be a lot of fun. Check it out!!

I've Been Tagged!

I've been tagged!!

Ally tagged me and I have to think of 7 random facts about myself.

Here how it works:
1. Link to the person that tagged you and leave a comment on their blog, so that their readers can visit yours. Ally tagged me!
2. Post the rules on your blog.
3. Share 7 Random facts about yourself on your blog.
4. Tag 7 random people at the bottom of your post, linking to their blog. Let each person know by leaving a comment on their blog.

Here are the 7 random facts about me ....

1. I do not drive, I hate cars.

2. I love movies and can watch the same movie over and over again even on the same day.

3. I used to have 2 potbellied pigs named Whoopi and Triscuit.

4. I'm a collector! I collect M&M stuff and even named one of my dogs M&M. Of course I collect scrapbooking stuff, that's a given!

5. I hate to shop! When I have to go shopping I cringe, unless it's for scrapbooking stuff or something fun. I do like to window shop though. I go to the mall every couple of years and only if I have to.

What a Beautiful Day!

It's such a beautiful day today! It's almost 70 and the sun is shining, but rain maybe tomorrow.

It's Tuesday already, time sure flys by! Hope everyone had a great weekend and got to spend time with family and friends.

I've been working on my card challenges for IScrap.net, but haven't been happy with any of my completed cards. Still working on them though, waiting for the creative bug to hit me and come up with the perfect card. I'm a paper scrapbooker and haven't really done cards other than at classes where you have everything already picked out and an example, so it's hard for me to come up with the 'perfect' blend of items! I thought that with a sketch it would be simple. WRONG!! It's not as easy as I thought it would be and I signed up to do 4 and I haven't even finished the first one yet!!

As for the drawing, the winner is Tara!! Yeah Tara!! If you would email me your address I'll get a surprise out by the end of the week. Thank you all for entering and do come back often, because I will be having more contests and adding layouts soon.

Happy Easter!

Happy Easter to everyone. Hope you get to spend time with family and friends today. We're sticking close to home, but the kids are coming over. I'm excited because we don't get to see either one very often and today we get both!! So I'm off to cook and do a little bit more cleaning due to the fact that it's spring and the dogs are shedding their winter coats! When you have 4 dogs that's a full time job to say the least.

Have a Happy Easter!!
