Scrapbooking Queen of the Crop

What is considered "Queen of the Crop?"

When we think...Queen of the Crop, what picture comes to mind? The cropper that shows up with 10 different bags, all matching, with a seat cushion?  The cropper that finishes over 100 pages of layouts, and all of them completed with journaling?  The one who has every shade of color paper that you could possibly think of?  The last man standing, still going strong at 5am? Or is it the one who has that special tool for your project that you forgot to bring along with every scrapbooking gadget imaginable?

I think it is all of these.  Let's face it, heaven knows you can't be too over prepared when it comes to scrapbooking!  Bring everything, but the kitchen sink, right?  This is why it is so great to attend scrapbooking retreats.  You can meet all these types of croppers and spend time with other people who love cropping as much as you do.  So what are you waiting for?  

Come join us and be "Queen of the Crop"

DIY Sun Banner

Created a cute little banner for my daughters room.  It hangs right over the top of her window so the sun can shine through. 

So easy to make with very little effort. 

First you take some wax paper and cut them into shapes.  In this case I used hearts, but you can let your imagination decide.  I then took a few different colors of wax crayons.  Crayola usually works the best.  You peel the paper off the crayon and gently shave some of the crayon over top of each wax shape.  A cheese grater, or vegetable peeler may be used for this step.  Spread the pieces out to cover more of the wax paper.  Take another shape and place over top of the shaved color.  This will double up the wax paper with a shape on the top and bottom with crayon in between.  Lastly, you use an iron to melt the crayon in between the shapes.  It only takes a few seconds to melt and it worked perfectly.  String up the banner and viola!  So cute.  Another variation is that you can cut the shapes after melting the crayon.



Daily Calendar Organizer

Daily Organizer
Becoming and staying organized is a tough task   One problem our household has is making sure we have everything we need for our days for work and school.  So to help with this we created a little wall organizer. 

Everything we bought for this was very inexpensive.  First we picked up a large monthly calendar to stay on top of what we needed for each day.  We then bought a wall hanger for all the extra's we may need to carry with us.  Finally to add a special touch, we used a shoe holder for those hurry and get going moments.
