Crop and Create Delivered - 2020

Normally, I would have attended a Crop and Create weekend in September. But with Covid cancelling everything, Scrapbook and Cards Today decided to have a VIRTUAL event called Crop and Create Delivered.  NINE HUNDRED PLUS signed up for this event from all over the world.  

We got a 10 pound box of supplies. There were 4 classes, an Attendee Kit, prizes, a treat and material for three make-and-takes.  It was awesome! SO MUCH content, plus demos from other vendors. The fun never stopped! And I didn't STOP - I extended it for 2 extra days because I couldn't get it all done in that time period (and you weren't expected to). We have the course still available to check out on line plus a detailed instruction book that came with the kits.  

So I will posting all the projects as I get them done.  Stay tuned!

I LOVE YOU SO MUCH - 2020

Crop and Create Class in 2018 by Paige Evans. Finally got the second layout done!
