Here's an Idea...

We are thinking of occasionally posting tips or ideas. Some will be simple, some maybe a little more advanced. Here is a simple idea for your scrapbook page.


Use a unique pendant that you’ve scavenged at a discount store. Take the pendant or charm off of the necklace. This would be great for a ‘love letter’ page or a ‘first school dance’ page. Use two lengths of leftover ribbon that look good against the pendant. Place one length of ribbon across the top of the page horizontally, and cross that one with the other length vertically on the far left side. Taken from Scrapbook Tips for Beginners

October Scrap Night

We missed those of you that were unable to attend last Saturday. We were happy to welcome back Kelly Stroud, the originator of East Lake Scrap Night. We were also happy to have Wendy Frankle and her daughter Jessica join us.

Unfortunately, due to scheduling conflicts we will not be able to have scrap night in October. If you simply can't go the month without scrapping, remember that Susan has a crop every Friday night at the store. Go ahead and mark your calendar for November 17th. That will be our next scrap night. I will send out a reminder the week before. Hope to see everyone on November 17th.

Have a great week!

The 411

We had a great time Saturday night. Several of us spent some time making cards for the card ministry with our scraps. That was fun. Anytime you have some leftover scraps, just throw a card together. The Card Ministry is thrilled to recieve them.

Did you know that there is a scrapbooking division at the State Fair? There is! This is the third year it has been available, but you don't have much time left to enter. You can enter online for free until the end of August. You may enter one one-page layout per person but you do not have to have it ready until October. Kids can enter too! You can find all the information you need here.

We are looking into having a Scrappers Getaway Weekend, so keep a lookout for more information on that front.

Our next crop is September 22. See you there!

It's A Record!

We had ten people at our scrap last Saturday! We had lots of fun and good food. (I think dips are turning out to be the specialty! Brandy makes a yummy taco dip, Lydia makes awesome guacamole and Kim makes a delicious salsa! The watermelon was perfect and Hungry Howie's even gave us a free pizza!) Tami brought her baby (3 wks old now) for all to see. She's an angel. We had a great time.

If you have never come to one of our scraps, please join us, the more the merrier! We are scheduled to meet again on August 18th. Hope to see you there!

New Baby!

Tami had her baby! Congratulations! Little Lauren was born at 1:06 am June 29th. (Now, I know I'm going to get this wrong because I was at the pool when she gave me this information and I didn't have a pen, but here's a go. Correct me if I'm wrong Tami!) She was 7 lbs 6oz and 20 inches long. I got to hold her last night. She is so sweet and tiny! Great job, Tami, she's beautiful! Can't wait to see you scrap her!

Card Ministry

Since some of us aren't spontaneously creative, Christi Sheppard has kindly offered to print off card templates for anyone intersted in making cards for the card ministry. If interested, please let me know and I will forward you her info.

Thanks,
Lydia
