Queen & Co. Butterfly Shaker Card

I went to my crop with Crop Connection at the end of July and was able to work on a wedding album for my aunt.  However, during the crop, they have contests.  One of which is to judge a project you do in different categories...cards, one page layouts, two page layouts, and 3D projects like mini albums, or canvases, etc.  So I did a card.  I decided that I wanted to make the card that I ordered from Queen & Co. that is a shaker card kit.  They have a different kit every few months and it includes the die to cut out the top layer that goes with the foam front.  They also include the little shaker parts and in the case of my card, it included their new "diamond" shaker elements.  Wow!!  They are so pretty.  I am so glad I got that one.  They only have them for a little while, then they are gone.  And I could not see where you could order past kits.  Bummer!  Oh well, the last one they did was a snowcone/cupcake shaker.  It was cute but not enough for me to get.  So I am waiting to see what the next one is. 

Here is the card I made.  I think it came out so stinkin cute.  And apparently the crop judges did too because I won FIRST PLACE!!!  Whoo hoo!!!  The prize I got for winning was a scrapbook kit that included the papers, and all the ephemera that go with it. So it was well worth the FUN I had putting the card together. LOL  I can't remember the name of the kit for this post but I believe I tell you in the video below because I show the whole kit.



The flowers that I added were Recollection flowers from Michaels. I also added a metal butterfly with a little bling on it.  The sentiment came from a Hot Off the Press stamp set (and I can't remember the name of it) with the feathers on it.
Watch the video so you can see it a little better up close.  I also show the prize I got as well.  Let me know what you think about the card.  Thanks tons!

Crop Connection Layouts

Here are a few layouts I did while I was at my crop in January.  The crop I did in July last year I focused on my oldest son's hunting pics and our dogs.  My youngest son was "left out" per se.  So this crop was all for him.  He was in the band and IS in the JROTC in school so I worked on those.  However, I never got to the JROTC layouts.  I guess I will do those in July.  Enjoy.

Crop Connection - Summer 2011

I made it!  I finally went to my FIRST crop and it was WONDERFUL!  The ladies that run it are awesome people and they did a great job!  They totally spoiled us.  I can't wait til the crop in January 2012.  Not sure I will attend any other crops because this experience would be hard to top.  Below are some pics from the crop.  I met some great new friends, learned a few things on how other croppers pack their stuff and unpack it at their tables.  When I stated before that I felt like I was packing my whole scrap room, those gals really looked the part.  Some of them brought entire drawer towers full of stuff.  Amazing!  And some of them unpacked and set up their table like they were at home.  Me?  I was all over the place.  Constantly looking for stuff as to what I did with it.  I picked up a few pointers though so hopefully at the next one I will be a bit more organized.

This is me!











AND YUMMY EATS!!!!


And I won 3rd Place on the single page layout!
