What are YOU scrapping?

It doesn’t seem to matter what time of year it is… or what year it is, for that matter… scrappers can find inspiration from photos or paper or embellishments and create wonderful additions to add to their scrapbooks.  These are just a few of what our group members are currently creating!

Re(create) was a wonderful week!!

Again… we all had such a wonderful time.  We didn’t do any sightseeing this year – just spent the week crafting on our own projects and also putting together some projects that we each shared.  That was super fun and is something we’ll definitely be doing again!  Already looking forward to next May!!

re(create) 2019

recreate

An annual event – re(create) – brings many of us together for a week of paper-crafting and camaraderie! Sunrises, sunsets, ocean views, sightseeing, kicking back with a glass of wine, eating good food with good friends.  It all adds up to a week we anticipate all year long.  We wish all our members could make the trip, but don’t all live close by.  Maybe we need to plan a West Coast re(create) one year!!  It’s a fun week and it’s happening soon – starting on Mothers’ Day, May 12th.  Looking forward to it!!

Happy April!!

Hopefully, we won’t really get April Showers to bring May Flowers…. unless those flowers are lotus flowers that won’t mind all the water.  But… I was searching online for something April and scrapbook related and found this!

Oh my goodness…. I remember (and miss) Memory Makers magazine… and I know I had this one… and even made some scrapbook page kaleidoscopes!  A blast from the past!!  I bet lots of you remember this! (whether you admit it or not)

Scrappin’ Retreat

retreat

Other than our own wonderful (re)Create at the Outer Banks, have you been to any other scrapbooking/papercrafting retreats lately?  I just spent this past weekend not far from home – at a 4-day retreat in Kill Devil Hills, NC.  It was sponsored by Virginia Scrapbook Retreats.  There were about 50 people scrapbooking and cardmaking and papercrafting.  We had a terrific time and got to make new friends!  I’ve invited some to join our group… so you may see some new faces.

Winter weather

rain

Rain…. have we had enough of it this winter?  Those of us in the southeast have definitely had enough.  Everyone else has had snow, I think.

It’s winter!  We should expect rain and snow – even if we grow tired of it.  But… have you taken photos and scrapped them yet?  I haven’t – and I keep having to take our dog out into a muddy yard for her “walks” and I’m wearing the big boots that keep making sploochy noises in the mud.  And I really should document the weather we’ve had this winter!  So should you!!
