National Scrapbooking Day – 2015 Spring Fundraiser

We had a wonderful day together on Saturday, May 2, 2015.

Today was National Scrapbooking Day AND the entire month of May is National Scrapbooking Month!!

For those of us that enjoy papercrafting – we enjoy celebrating these special days!! A great “excuse” for us to get together & get our creative juices flowing in the creative world!

Join me now as I share the details of this creative day together!!

We called this gathering our

and as you see – it took place in Morgantown PA!!!

We made this a day for Cardmaker’s – Scrapbooker’s AND a Fundraiser to raise money for the children at Operation Smile!! It turned out to be a GREAT day, and there was something for EVERYONE!!!

Our Scrapbooker’s arrived at 8am….and these fun goodies awaited them….

When our Cardmaker’s came at 9:30 – they registered, got a name tag & found one of these goodie bags at their spots. J

Throughout the day EVERYONE had door prize tickets as part of their day…and these are the goodies that were given away that day! The CTMH Lagoon, chevron shoulder tote was our GRAND PRIZE of the day!! J

The scrapbooker’s were on their own for the most part. They brought all sorts of goodies to work on, and enjoyed creating, sharing ideas & fellowshipping together! J

The cardmaker’s were ready to create…there were 5 ladies per group, and they stayed with that group the entire day. They rotated around 4 tables in the morning, and 4 tables in the afternoon!!

We had so much fun as we shared techniques, played with NEW product from Close To My Heart’s Seasonal Expression 2 mini-book and just enjoyed fellowshipping together.

If the ladies did finish their cards early, they were welcome to go to the “extra” table to create this card using the MAY special – Taste of Summer paper pack

OR they could head over to our Display area, and gather MORE ideas that they could use on future creative projects!!

Joyce Houck – my amazingly, creative, upline – taught us how to create some fabulously, folded cards today!

Everyone seemed to REALLY enjoy the food today! Yum!!!

We had a couple breakfast cakes, juice, fruit for the morning snack AND a FABULOUS lunch of taco salad with a variety of side dishes including chicken salad, egg salad, broccoli/cauliflower salad – and the list goes on.

(this only shows the one of two tables of food we had for lunch! LOL!!)

For supper that evening – a slimmer crowd, since it was the cropper’s & us consultants– we had Pizza, jello, and all the fun snacks that everyone brought along to share!!

After supper in the evening, and after the cardmaker’s left for home, I taught a 2 page layout class to those that wanted to learn something new. We showcased our “My Creations Designer Bags” and turned the bag into a fun pocket page in our album!!!
