Cape Layouts

Whoo hoo! I'm back from the retreat at the Cape. Well, okay... I have been back for a week.

I have been having more difficulty posting things! Don't know if it's blogger or me, but it's been a struggle.

Enough of that. I actually have three postings in my que waiting to go. Here are some of my favorite layouts. More coming soon.

The layout of Abbie is an overlay on the left side. Love those overlay things. And yes, I wrote in her name for the title. Used a slick writer pen which did a lovely job on the overlay.

And for those of you wanting the lo-down on the Crazy for Croppin retreat, it was wonderful. Not only was the scrap room "open" 24 hours {and Jersey Kim USED those hours, now didn't you Kim?!} but either Melissa or Stacy {who ran the crop} or one of their friends was always present in the room. I thought that was pretty cool. Your supplies were always "monitored" by someone. Not that there was any trouble with that {I have never been to a crop yet where people were anything but nice and honest} but it is nice to have someone there. We all know just how much money is in those black cropper hopper bags now don't we. I hold out hope that my hubby doesn't quite know, so I won't try for a quess on the value! ;) Anyway, they had fun contests where everyone voted for the winners. Good snacks. And lovely helpful personalities. They are doing another crop in Sturbridge Mass... check it out here.

Anyway, back to layouts. The one with Max rollerblading is using the new Bohemia collection by My Mind's Eye. Can I just tell you how much I love the colors, the individual mix and match pieces, but most of all - the small overlays {they call them "transparency frames"} that go on your picture. The picture of Max standing {that the arrow is pointing to} has an overlay on it.


My other WAAAAAYYYY cool find at the crop store was the Big Board chipboard scrolls {well, scrolls are the one I bought} by Fancy Pants designs. I was big into painting all weekend long and those naked {well they were!} scrolls just CALLED me! {really Jeff, they called me! I had to have them!!} And let me say something right now... any of my friends whose birthday falls right in December should NOT NOT NOT go out and buy the whole line of these! DO YOU HEAR ME KRISTIN????????

Okay, well that's my Cape crop story. For those of you non-scrappers who are "regulars" I am sorry if I bored you. Any new friends from the Cape - sign in and say *hi*!!!!

Happy scrappin! {PS - click on any picture to enlarge it.}
