Check out the highlights from the last NJ Crop Weekend. We go away for a long weekend of crafting, fun and friends!
You’ll note in the video that people bring lots of paper crafting stuff to work with, but in this case I mostly did digital work with My Digital Studio! and that means less to carry!
The next crop is coming up over the summer – why not treat yourself to a little creativity time? Heck, you can even ask for the weekend as a Mother’s Day gift!! Contact me at carol@carolGpapercrafts if you’re interested or have questions, or go to www.njcropweekends.com for more details.

I have a confession about the journaling on my scrapbook pages that I hinted on Wednesday that I was going to share… I don’t like my handwriting!
Here’s the picture from the last post that started this off… it shows my friend Pat, who sat next to me at the last NJ Crop Weekend.

And do you see the scrapbook page about San Antonio that was in progress
at the foreground of the picture? I was working on our Texas vacation pictures
that weekend. Here’s how the following set of the finished pages turned out:
San Antonio pages
I used a variety of the Spice Cake Designer Series Paper, since the colors really seemed to match the subject – and of course they are all color coordinated with each other and with the Stampin’ Up! cardstock and ink colors, making life really easy for me to piece together this quilt style scrapping! I added strips of the 3/8″ Quilted Satin Ribbon to separate the rectangles on the page. I love how it came out!
But here’s the confession that I want to point out about pages – notice the journaling that I hand wrote on the bottom right. I have to tell you that I really, really do not like my own handwriting. This is not an issue when I do a lot of my scrapbooking in My Digital Studio and just type my journaling messages. But, when I do paper scrapping, I make myself hand write it – for many reasons:
Now don’t get me wrong – there are some times when I am doing a hand made page, and I will go to My Digital Studio and print out a title in the correct matching color for the page… but I no longer go out of my way to omit my handwriting from journaling on my scrapbook pages!
