Here it is, May already! ! ! 
I feel like it has been Winter FOREVER ! ! 
In a hopes of getting the Spring thing going, ever year I plant a few seeds for transplanting into my gardens . . . as soon as it is warm enough to safely plant. 
Even though it is going to be nice, warm today, it still isn't warm enough in the evening to risk of not freezing out the tender seedlings, when they finally appear.

I was worried about trying to keep the seedling labeled, and not mixed up, as some are veggies and others will make their way to the flower gardens, so ...

I remembered that I had gotten a package of pinch clothes pins, for crafting reasons, but, "HEY!" what better way to have convertible markers, from seed pots to gardens ! . . .pretty proud of that idea, just hope these work in the garden as well . . .

Week Six of Club Scrap Professional Scrappers League (PSL) Event

This week has been spent mostly in prep for the Stamp and Scrap Expo, at the CF Middle School. I won a table to crop at for the whole day. My goal was to create ALSBs to add to the ones I all ready have done, and scrap most, if not all of the photos I removed from a photo book that had LOTS of pics from 1981 through 1985.

Because these pictures included everything from Easter for my girls, ages 2 and 4 1/2, to pool and water slide pictures taken in Fargo in 1985.

The kits I "ALSBed were

     Concrete Jungle - June, 2009

     Arts 'n Crafts - August, 2010

     Comfort Zone - October 2011

     Full Circle - February, 2012

     Navajo - January 2012

At the beginning of the morning, I decided to make myself a CS 12 X 12 album to be used specifically for a large number of the Lay Outs I would make during the day, so I started off the day with a project  . . .

During the Expo itself, I manged to scrap 27 pages of LOs, from 6 kits, but was not able to complete them without my printer, extra paper for journaling, and bits of embellishments.

The kits I use and the number of pages include:

     Time and Space - 12/04  - 8 pages

     Varsity - 06/05  - 3 pages

     Interior Design - 11/07  - 4  pages

     Stratosphere - 04/07  -  2 pages

     Blossom  -  05/10  -  2  pages

     Comfort Zone - 10/11 -  8 pages

Being that most, if not all of the pages I made qualified for this weeks challenge, I really thought I was gonna had lots of submissions, but ended up only submitting one of the double Lay Outs. I believe I can use a few of the other ones, after I embellish them with something "sparkly" .  . 

So, My submissions for the week six PSL challenge for "FRAMED":

     2 pages (a double) created from Stratosphere - 04/07.

Thanks you for looking . . .

Week TWO of the Club Scrap Professional Scrappers League (PSL) Event

My submissions for the week two PSL challenge for "TORN PAPER":

I created a remake of one of our 2013 retreat projects we made called the Magnetic Messenger.

I had gotten the idea after trying to think of ways to "re-purpose" the top of a decorative tin that I had used the main tin for something else. I believe it turned out "pretty nifty"!

I also worked on making some cards for this specific challenge and ended up making 11 assorted cards . . .

Week one: Metallics
Week two: Torn Paper - 12

This year Club Scrap has revamped their Professional Scrappers League Event from years past.
One of the purposes for having this even is to have the Club Scrap members USE some of their much loved Club Scrap materials, mostly papers, but not leaving out past projects, and things like stencils, fibers, and other kit goodies.

Historically this has not been the most successful event for me, but this year I am trying to be more motivated toward participation in the event.

 I did not submit anything for the first weeks challenge,  which was  ***METALLICS***   mostly because I or don't use much if any matallics in my scrapbooking or card making . . .
 . . .or at least that is what I thought . . .

***  ALERT ***
Realizing how I have been neglecting this blog . . . 
Now, after being busy posting to Club Scraps Blog for it's Spring PLS . . . Professional Scrappers League, I will be posting photos of submissions here as well . . .

Thanks for stopping by . .
