A “scrapbook crop” refers to a group of people who come together to work on their picture scrapbooks, sharing a common space and ideas at the same time. Don’t scrapbook, that’s ok, if you make cards, crochet, knit, bead, make jewelry or some other type of craft you are welcome too. 100% of all proceeds from event fees go to the Auxiliary programs to help our Veterans, local Military and their families in need!

Join us for 12 hours of fun and creativity! Simply bring the projects you are working on and enjoy a minimum of 4 feet of table space along with friendly conversation in a well-lit, drama-free space all for just $30.00.   Please bring your favorite dish to share with others for our pot luck style lunch and dinner.  I will let all attendees know how many participants will be there. 

There will be a silent auction, Door prizes, a *scrapbooking class, and a *card class (*additional fees apply). We will also have a beginner - Advanced Cricut Class. You will even have a chance to earn more tickets and win more prizes.

Personal Hygiene products; *Bars of soap - *Liquid dish soap - *Tooth brush - *Tooth paste - *Disposable razors - *Shaving cream - *Deodorant - *Toilet Paper -- *Shampoo  

*** Note Tooth brushes should be individually wrapped, only small containers of liquid dish soap and laundry soap as we cannot repackage them. Donations of these items are always welcome. Thanks for your understanding.

Also the VFW 1324 & Auxiliary have adopted another Unit at Camp Whithycombe in Clackamas OR. Most of this unit has been deployed over seas 3 or more times each. I recently met their Family coordinator. Juel is one amazing lady. She also works with Soldiers Angles. I invited her to the Crop 4 Vets and was telling her about some of the things that we do at the crop. She said she needed to send some cards to her soldiers. So, who wants to help make cards for our soldiers who are deployed to let them know we still care and appreciate all that they do?

She will take cards addressed to the troops with encouragement, support and especially any personal note or story. I have Marines, Army, Navy and Air Force --- so addressing the cards to "service member" is helpful.

I know that there cannot be glitter on the cards unless it has a clear glue over top so it can not come off. We don't want to put them in harms way.

Start now and bring them to the Crop 4 Vets or you may drop them by the VFW Post 1324 on any Friday evening from 5-8 pm.

I hope you will join me in making some of these cards.

Vintage Camera Mini Album.

I'm so sorry, I usually post the classes before they happen, but this time that didn't happen. So here are the pictures of the Vintage Camera that we made on Saturday.

 This is the first one that I made.  I found several different patterns for making one of these cameras.  I likes some aspects of each one, so I combined them the make this one.

 This is the second one that I made, trying to get the instructions correct.

This is the third one that I made, I really like all of them.  I can see these made with all different colors.

 

If you would like to make this Vintage Camera, the cost is $15.00 plus 5.95 shipping.

I only have enough For Always paper to make 2 black cameras. I have enough Scholastic Paper to make 1 brown camera and I have several other paper packs that would make cute cameras also.  If you are interested let me know and I will show you all the options.

Saturday's Photo Canvas Art Class results.

Well I started the day with a great start, I thought.  I made it to Gladstone on time and set up my table, Laptop, Printer and projects. I thought I had everything ready to go, I scanned in the photos and sent them to the printer.   I waited thinking that since I didn't have WiFi available and had to connect the two machine by USB it might take a little longer to communicate.  Well, we waited and waited then I decided to text my Son James, to see if he could talk me through the issues.  He did even better than that, Bless his sole, he came to Gladstone to fix the problem.  I am so glad they were patient with me.  After about an hour we were able to get on with the class and here are some of the canvases we created.  I suggested that the attendees bring a favorite photo, not too close-up, to create the project with.  I never expected them to bring pics of their animals.  I guess next time I should be prepared and take some stamps and embellishments that they can use with animal and outdoor pics as well.

This is the one Kate created for her DH for Father's Day. She wanted it man-ly so she didn't put many embellishments on, just 4 Faux studs. I like how this turned out.  

Carol made the second one. She stamped and added lots of embellishments. I'm glad I decided to make a few of the crocheted flowers.  It looks really nice on Carol's window box photo canvas art.

The other lady, Katharine, who attended had to leave before I remembered to take pictures. She brought pics of her dogs, a Chihuahua and a Pug. She made 2 Photo Canvas Art projects and decided to print her pics out as a 4" X 6" like she brought.  She placed them in the middle running up and down.  She stamped swirls on both sides of the pics and sponged the edges.  They turned out nice also, wish I had remembered to get pictures. 

As the rest of the ladies came to the crop, we were just finishing up and they saw what we had created and several like them and said they would like to take a class like that too.

I had a few say that they wanted to take a One Sheet Wonder card class also.  

If you are interested in taking any of the classes that I post, please email me jwilson@bctonline.com or call me 503-708-6889.

Canvas Art Class for $10.00, Saturday May 18, 2013.

Hi everyone,

I decided that I would teach a Canvas Art class on Saturday May 18, 2013.  Here is the project we will be doing.  I hope you will join me for the class.

I choose pictures that were too large to add embellishments so I will be making more and choosing pics with subjects a little farther back.  I didn't get all the wrinkles out either.

They look better in person than in this pic.  It was a lot of fun trying to figure out how to add a photo to the canvas.  I tried several things and this was the best way that I could find.  It took me all day to get this done too.

Happy Scrappin',
