This is a card I made for my new friend Nadia.
Using up some random embellishments I've had in my stash.
Using up more of the same embellishments, and also a rhinestone word that's been sitting in my stash.
I didn't have a clue what to do with this chipboard word groovy for the longest time, this is what I came up with.
Here's us. We probably should have asked someone to take our photo much earlier in the day! *LOL* I was such a total mess by this 11 pm photo.
Here's a quick photo of the make and takes they did. Fun stuff, I got to use some Tim Holtz products for the first time to make an Artists Trading Card.
Yesterday was like the best day ever! I had an amazing time with a fantastic gal, Nadia who I met on the Circle message board. So much laughing and joking and creativity. The day was even more amazing when I got home and had a special package from another very kind Circle sister and friend waiting for me at my door. It was filled with special little goodies and treats from CHA. I was bummed I couldn't attend and she wanted me to feel like part of the action - and now I really do. I even got the cute Imagine sunglasses! I feel a completely renewed sense of spirit after enjoying such a fabulous day and experience. I completed 4 cards, which I have pics of here, as well as the 3 make and takes, and also 2 layouts - but I didn't take photos of those. So, I didn't make a ton, but I had an absolute blast!
I am planning to attend my first Swarm next weekend and do some classes at Archiver's next month too. Now that I've experienced how much fun it is I want to venture out and meet up with some fellow scrappers at least once a month if I can. If any of you are in Colorado hit me up and I'll let you know where I'm planning to be if you want to come too :)

How awesome! It sounds like you had so much fun, and really got a lot done! I've never attended any crops or anything, and they really don't have them around here. Bummer. But I love all your cards, and look forward to hearing about your swarm!
I've never been to a crop or a swarm, so thank you for the glimpse :D. The picture of the two of you is fabulous, it's the smiles that count :D. TFS!
Awesome projects! I love all the colors you used! Thanks for sharing these projects with us! XOXO Momo
Your cards came out great! Crafting with friends is always fun!! Wish I could join you!
Looks like you had tons of fun, Amber! The cards are so pretty! You used up those embellies perfectly.
I have always wanted to attend a crop they don't have those around here but they always look like so much fun! There is a Michaels being built about 10 min from my house and I am super excited because I think they usually have crop nights there at the store! After seeing your pictures and hearing about your experience I am even more excited!

Take care!
you got a lot done at the crop! I love going to crops, the one where I usually go is a little more than an hour drive, but it is worth it because I get to see my scrapin' friends and get new ideas.
Beautiful cards! You and your friend look so happy :0). I will be great if I could do a crop, it looks like fun!!!
Hugs,
Carol L.
