Crop N Time Scrapbook Events Newsletter Page 2 April 2015 ~ Volume 74 Message from the Owner: Finally… …. the long winter seems to be coming to an end! I think we’ve all felt the stress of this winter I know I have. For my house that stress has included massive water damage due to ice dams on the roof. We have five areas of the house that were damaged. It’s been a very trying month dealing with the drying equipment, demolition, and now construction. How am I dealing with the stress? Well, first of all, I am looking at this as a way to do some much needed updating of the house and paying very little out of pocket thanks to good insurance. Secondly, I’ve pulled out my camera (which was stashed away and not used nearly enough lately) and am taking pictures every step of the way. Hey… If you can’t beat them… SCRAPBOOK IT! It’s been a while since I’ve really documented anything. What better time to start than to scrap every step of our experience with before, during, and after pictures? So, friends, remember this: No matter what life throws at you, there is an opportunity to use your craft in there somewhere!

If you are anything like me, you probably have lots of photos of cake and presents and parties. Challenge: Create a birthday layout of a different sort. Don’t focus on the cake, presents and parties. Instead tell the story of the little ways you celebrate, remember the story of a birth, make a list of traits of the birthday person right now. Just start with a birthday and go where your imagination takes you! Go for it, use a page map from this newsletter and double up! I can’t wait to see what you create! Connie http://scrapsstories.blogspot.com/ Crop N Time Scrapbook Events Newsletter Page 5 April 2015 ~ Volume 74 Layout/Sketch ideas Do you ever find yourself in a design slump? It’s so easy to use the same layouts over and over as they seem to fit your pictures. Why not make your pictures fit a new layout? Here are some ideas for new layout ideas that can help bring some life back into your albums!! If you complete these layouts before or during our next crop event and show us, you will earn raffle tickets for each new layout to do! Isn’t that just fabulous? Don’t forget to bring those layouts you complete before the crop with you to get the credit for them as well. They could just win you a fantastic prize from one of our preferred vendors or even that Grand prize basket at the next crop! Even if you don’t use this size album, you can always scraplift ideas that will work for your own project! We love seeing how each one of you interprets these sketch ideas into your own pages!
