128 is the magic number!



EACH PAGE PROTECTOR IN THE PHOTO ABOVE HOLDS A TWO-PAGE LAYOUT.

128 is the magic number!
I created 128 12x2 pages at our four day retreat last weekend!

Sorry it has taken me a few days to post this update. Been just so darn busy at work. And that is a good thing!

We had a tie for the winners with the guess of 125!! My crop total of 12x12 pages done is

128! The closest guess was made by two members, both at 125.



And the winners are: Sherry and ebright_fleming@.....

I'm going to guess 125 pages. There's no way I'd ever get that many done, but I've seen how productive you can be, so I'm guessing it's going to be a really high number. Have fun, and I'll look forward to hearing how many pages you do!

I will guess 125, which I feel could be a low estimate, which is crazy, because I haven't even done that many pages for the whole year, to think that can be done in 4 days. But I do remember a 2 day retreat that I went to and completed 25 pages. Good luck and happy scrappin'

If these two lucky ladies could contact me privately at Rockester@magnaspeed.net with postal contact info, I can get a prize package out to each of them.

I drug in all the pages from my car and photographed the PILE so you can see! It is certainly a huge stack. Basically fills three notebooks.... My friends can vouch that I indeed used my giant box of prepped page kits and I indeed did 128 pages! I am so relieved to have gotten this amount done and used so much stash for it. It is such a great feeling. I think I only bought:

undo

smokey blue perfect pearl mist

a sizzix folder

two specialty-themed page kits from the retreat staff

and I borrowed 3 tape runners from Dawn because I (surprise!!) ran out of adhesive. I am paying her back in tape runners this thurs. :D

So all in all a tremendous success from the fact that I used what I had, had a blast with my friends in a facility in a beautiful wooded setting, and my family now have so many more pages to enjoy! And that, for me, what it is all about....

128 pages! WOOT!!

Wow! Wow! Wow! I thought I should perhaps write wow 128 times but decided that was probably a bit too much! You are nothing short of incredible and absolutely proof positive that your page kit system works. Well done Rock!

Congrats to the winners and wow for you. I could never get that many pages done - I may make kits but I always come home needing to add something be it title or journaling - your pages look great title and embelishments and everything.

A Spiral Christmas Tree Skirt

Image
Here you see a  gift I just finished this morning for my daughter. It is a spiral bargello style quilted tree skirt. I sewed on it all Saturday and Sunday this weekend and just had the ties to sew on this morning. It's an early Christmas gift kind of like the one I made for my son and his wife a few weeks ago .  T his spiral design my daughter chose also uses a 10 degree wedge ruler but is about 1/3 more time consuming than the randomly placed 5 inch charm square wedge style because you have to spend more time getting the strip formation right.  There was a SULKY brand online tut o rial and pattern for a single color repeat but I liked the slower color change better seen in the t wo photos below . I think the spiral design is enhanced by the more gradual color change. I saw these two spirals below on Google Images but they only led me to p icture link s and not a tutorial. I ha d to devise my own from looking at that pictures.   http://www.backyar...

Paper Stash Storage Solutions: 1- 12 inches of paper

Image
Your paper storage units should suit YOUR needs and YOUR paper storage style. Imagine this: Two people who sit down side by side at a crop party. Soon they will start talking about tool and paper storage. Pretty soon, one will want what the other one has. It all sounds so good --and it is working for her companion. But when she goes out to buy it, and she takes it home, it might be all wrong. Why?? Because those two people will NOT need exactly the same storage solutions! So how do you know what to invest in? And yes, paper storage is an investment. You don’t want to waste money or TIME. Spend your time and money on solutions that are great for YOU! How much paper do you have? Are you happy with your storage units? How do you plan on going about using it? Can you find a specific paper you need in less than 5 minutes? Choose containers and units that appeal to your sense of décor style AND your real storage needs. Don’t be fooled by cute shapes or new prints. No matter how cute, an acco...
