Everyone brings a dish to share and we have tons of room to spread out and crop on the 8ft tables at Mitchell Resort & RV Park. I host 4 retreats a year there and now we are doing monthly crops there. It is always a great time with a lot of laughter. There is the Itty Bitty Kitty store along with new product I put out for the ladies to have at. It's kind of like a feeding frenzy! We also do a Make N Take for a little fun.<br />

Oh my you just have to look at the pic below of that wonderful Trifle that Weslana made. <br />

Are you ready for cooler weather, bright orange and yellow leaves falling from the trees and the smell of pumpkin spice everywhere? I am. It has been a hot one in Texas of late and I am ready for some cool fall weather. Authentique has hit it out of the park once again with their new Harvest Collection and I am ready for the pics with these two layouts.</div>

I was on a really crazy fussy cutting frenzy when I made the Mysterious layouts and the Harvest layouts. Nothing is as it seems in these two pages. The papers are all cut up and re-arranged cause that is just how I do it.</div>

I love that this one gets 3 large size pics on here along with the journaling block. I added a banner and a grouping of the fun stickers. Great page for pics of your table set up on Thanksgiving.</div>

Are you looking for a FUN collection for the little ghosties and goblins in you house? This one is purrrfect. Not scary and the cut aparts are very vintage and sooooo sweet. No bad creatures in this collection. I have two pages ready for my only 2 little goblins left. The other 3 are all too old for such nonsense. However, their Grannie still loves Halloween!</div>

Now this page took a bunch of fussy cutting The trees were a pain but they add so much to the page. And those bats--yes well, now we know and understand the full meaning of BATTY. You will be such after cutting out all of those bats to adhere in a random fashion all over both pages of the layout. </div>

More fun with the fussy cutting on this page too, But you just have to have those bats flying around all over. Some are popped with foam and some are not. Some are coming out of the photo mats and some are whole. </div>

It's What We Scrappers DO!</h3>
<br />
Yes, as scrappers we have so many faults when it comes to our beautiful craft of preserving our memories. Yes, we are Hoarders of the most beautiful papers and the most wonderful embellishments. Yes, we do stage our pics just so they match the newest papers. As you can see by these two layouts using the Felicity Collection from Authentique it is obvious that sometimes we go a weeeee bit crazy when we are staging those pics. Heee! Heee!<br />

This collection has my fav color--turquoise. So naturally I had to use it. And then there is that bicycle theme going on here with an old fashioned flair. Well, it just so happens that I have this cute little yellow bicycle that is really a plant stand. The ideas started rolling and Ray was not happy with this one. But alas, he went along and the pics turned out pretty cute. In fact, they were purrrfect for this paper and made a one of a kind layout. One of those kind that our kids will be looking at these when we are long gone and wonder why they never committed us!!! Life is much to short to be crabby. One should always live it to the fullest, laughing all the way, knowing full well everyone is trying to figure out why you are always so happy and crazy. </div>

This adorable Felicity Collection, in just my shade of turquoise, is a fun one to cause great creative thought processes. It makes you happy with the pretty colors (you know I love turquoise and blues) and the gorgeous artwork just take you back to a time when life was so simple and just plain fun. Layouts have been done but then. . . </span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">My friend Sharon and I went to the GASC Crop. We figured since we were working GASC we might as well hit the crop too. We both won a prize and mine was this pack of cut out wood pieces that just had "10 shelves" written in sharpie on the outside of the bag. </span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">I got home and decided to check out my prize package of wood pieces. There were soooooo many pieces and not one bit of instructions. I figured out the drawers but had no idea what the base pieces were supposed to do. No amount of mixing up those pieces to make a case for a drawer was working. Ray was laughing at me saying I had more patience than he did. Now that's a stretch. There was however a card from SaCrafters in the bag. I went to their website, found the item along with several other wood piece items they sell. By looking at the pics I figured out how it went together. Then I found the videos. Let's just say I did better looking at the pics. Too many distractions and interactions with off camera people for my taste on a tutorial video. Plus watching 35 minutes of this lady painting each piece was more time consuming than I was into.</span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">My brain started turning and the creativity cells kicked into high gear. Out came the turquoise paint and the Felicity Collection. Once it was all done and covered with paint and paper it was time to bling it up. We all have those containers full of ribbon, bling, buttons, leftover pieces of embellishments don't we? Of course we do, it is the common creed of all hoarders, er I mean crafters! So, I started diving into mine to find just the right pieces to use on this new creation. I love the little wooden spool with the hat pin on the top of the shelf. The card holder would also be a great place to showcase a pic. You can change it often--just pull out the existing and add a new one. How fun would that be to have a new pic every week?</span><br />

Look at these adorable "firecrackers" made from scrap 2x2 boards. I painted them with my Dylusion paints and used a variety of stencils to add some Pop to them. Drill a hole in the top of each one and add some jute for a fuse. I added a board across all three on the back so they would stand up easier and stay straight. Tie the jute around them and place on your porch. These are 14", 12" and 10" tall. I have them siting on my old antique stove on the front deck.</div>

Then I got crazy with the 2x4 scraps (Ray is getting tired of me rummaging through his scrap wood pile and needing things cut, lol.) and made really BIG firecrackers to stand by the front door. I had one banged up shutter left from a class and decided to make it into a "flag" to go with the firecrackers. I used the same Dylusion paints as on the smaller firecrackers along with the stencils and the alpha masks from Hazel & Ruby. No, there are not the correct number of stars or stripes because it is just the "idea" of a flag. </div>

Lots of things in life change on a dime and you must be able to adapt with those changes. Those that know me know I look for Plan B & roll with the flow. That Flow has led me into <u><b>continuing with our awesome Retreats 4 times a year at Mitchell Resort & RV Park.</b></u> These are always crazy good fun round the clock. Dates for the next two retreats are: Sept 15-18 & Nov 3-6. Click here for our <a href="https://www.facebook.com/CatsCreationsScrapbooks/">facebook</a> page for all the info.<br />
<br />
And That Flow has led me to<b><u> hosting monthly Crops at Mitchell's</u></b>. These crops have turned into some WonDerFul Saturdays with old friends & new friends coming together and creating everything from scrapbook layouts to Junktique repurposing of crazy finds. We all share a dish or two and we eat some. really. good. cooking. the. entire. time! You really should join us. Here are the dates for upcoming crops: July 9th, August 20th, none in September due to retreat, Oct 1, none in Nov due to retreat, and Dec 3. Get your name on our list today on the <a href="https://www.facebook.com/CatsCreationsScrapbooks/">Facebook</a> page or email me at catbeaty@sbcglobal.net.<br />
<br />
The <b><u>masses have continued to ask for </u></b><u><b>Classe</b></u><b><u>s</u></b> so I shall provide. We always offer classes at our NSD CatVention in May and now we will add classes to the mix periodically throughout the year. We have two fantastic classes coming up in the next few months. <b><u> </u></b><br />
<b><u><br /></u></b>
<b><u>Nanci is coming back with her famous Tag-a-Palooza class on June 25th with an event at <a href="https://www.facebook.com/Raylines-Retreat-186176208089008/">Rayline's Retreat</a> in Springtown.</u></b> We have done classes here before and it is a lovely retreat venue for smaller groups. It will be purrrfect for our classes. The tag class is from 1pm - 6pm. Snacks, sweets, tea & water provided.

<b><u>I will be doing a mighty mini album class, Cheerful Family Album, on July 16th at Rayline's Retreat in Springtown.</u></b> This little album I designed for myself to house all my "extra" pics since I take waaaaay toooooo many! I always had so many left over after making layouts. When everyone saw it at NSD they all yelled Class! Class! Class! So, it is now a class. An all day class with lots of techniques to be learned. I took several techniques I learned from Lance Anderson and put them on steroids to come up with this one. He was even shocked in May! It is full of all kinds of places to put pics. I have 83 pics in there now and it can hold more! How fun will this class be? Lite lunch, snacks, sweets, tea & water provided. All the info is listed on the Facebook page under Events.

Cat has created another great set of sketches</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
for us this week.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I always love sketches involving circles,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
although you could swap out </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
other shapes for the circles!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
This page has three photos on it,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
which is great since we tend to </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
take LOTS of photos!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Great way to get some of those</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Halloween photos scrapbooked! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
More of those fabulous circles,</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Over 200 people went on the ghost walk.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Check out one of the FIVE</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
beautiful tags we made in </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Nanci's tag class on Saturday!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img alt="" class="spotlight" height="400" src="https://scontent-ord1-1.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xtf1/v/t1.0-9/11254503_1078238515543214_8786812698191807645_n.jpg?oh=6d8fe760116140c1d2e84073ae940a2f&oe=56C61DFF" width="300" /> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We inked, embossed,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
stenciled, and "stickled". </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img alt="" class="spotlight hidden_elem" height="400" src="https://scontent-ord1-1.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xta1/v/t1.0-0/p403x403/12065843_1078320835534982_8120365807238538152_n.jpg?oh=2803dd6c83ef5c8b3110a1011c927599&oe=56B3D48D" width="300" /> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Check out how beautiful this holly is,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
especially after you add FOUR</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
colors of stickles!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I don't have the patience for stickles</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
since I usually end up messing them up</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
while waiting for them to dry!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
However, Nanci's use of them on the</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
tags Saturday convinced me to </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
buy 12 more bottles of them. YIKES!!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She is making a believer out of me!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Our "newbie" enjoyed the class</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
so much that she is looking forward</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
to the next one!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

We created two tags that </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
could be used for greeting cards.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Even the envelopes were included!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img alt="" class="spotlight" height="400" src="https://scontent-ord1-1.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xpf1/v/t1.0-9/10478161_1078307085536357_8650673561842131412_n.jpg?oh=563c25f8a77e8718765b7b1d169e6df8&oe=56BB2DF5" width="300" /> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Nanci has started using a chalkboard</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
to list the colors of ink that we are using</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
on our tag.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Yes, we ask that question OVER and OVER again!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If you check the pole out behind her,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
above the "Beware" sign,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
she has displayed the two tags we are working on.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img alt="" class="spotlight" height="400" src="https://scontent-ord1-1.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xtf1/v/t1.0-9/12047072_1078238538876545_4957749120855567639_n.jpg?oh=ea97c270cf097551d1d465aca3e9a019&oe=568AA888" width="300" /> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The next tag class is</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
NOVEMBER 21st.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The date is changed due to the retreat.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Call ahead to reserve your spot.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Nanci has to make kits of each tag</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
for every attendee, so she needs</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
to know ahead of time if you are coming.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The cost is $40 and you will</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
make 5 tags.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A light snack is provided and the class</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
lasts from 11:00 am to 4:00 p.m.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Are you ready for another fabulous</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
sketch from Cat?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img alt="" class="spotlight" height="400" src="https://scontent-ord1-1.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xat1/t31.0-8/s960x960/12080278_1074350719265327_1520801971692691723_o.jpg" width="392" /> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I think this may be one of my all time favorites!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I love the little strips scattered in</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
clusters on the page.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This could be:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
strips of washi tape (one of my favorites),</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
those fun little word stickers,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
pieces of ribbon,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
or strips of paper!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Lots of possibilities!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img alt="" class="spotlight" height="400" src="https://scontent-ord1-1.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xtl1/v/t1.0-9/12079246_1074350729265326_5640012554486423381_n.jpg?oh=b3d57b508303485179c770526545703b&oe=56C76BE2" width="393" /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The facing page. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
More of those fabulous little strips!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Plus, love the fact that this has</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
room for six photos.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Gotta love that!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
REMEMBER:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You can see all of Cat's sketches</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.930679140299153.1073741970.119159541451121&type=3">HERE</a>.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Another great way to have </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Cat's sketches with you all of the time </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
is to save them to your smart phone.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
With your smart phone, just click on</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
the link above.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Then click on each sketch and take</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
a screenshot of each one.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Put them in a folder on your phone.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Then you have easy access to them.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
LOVE having them at my </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
fingertips.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
Grab a stack of photos<br />
and get busy cropping with<br />
these wonderful sketches!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<img alt="" class="spotlight" height="400" src="https://scontent-dfw1-1.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xat1/v/t1.0-9/12122556_1075911325775933_2029344057310288470_n.jpg?oh=e68acd53e9fd1aba6b8bf45923c233e8&oe=568C8654" width="302" /> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Cat got a little behind with the albums</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
for the Photo-a-Day collections.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But, she has July albums and instructions READY!!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I think you will find it was worth the wait! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img alt="" class="spotlight" height="266" src="https://scontent-dfw1-1.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xft1/v/t1.0-9/1374308_1076365412397191_6044382472575235851_n.jpg?oh=5998427feafb80f7edb9bcb07fc4ecc3&oe=56C995DB" width="400" /> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Cat used the beautiful Authentique "Freedom" collection<br />
to crate this album.<br />
Beautiful mini albums inside</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
for you to put all of your photos.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img alt="" class="spotlight" height="216" src="https://scontent-dfw1-1.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xtp1/v/t1.0-9/12109204_1076365359063863_2939772958769168485_n.jpg?oh=4a78e1466f0a81dc08c85209ccc21ba5&oe=5691E16A" width="400" /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Love the weaving on this one</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and it also has lots of places for your photos.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img alt="" class="spotlight" height="266" src="https://scontent-dfw1-1.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xfa1/v/t1.0-9/10526057_1076365349063864_3121565594265564979_n.jpg?oh=fd127e3707261a17297020e4f0828c72&oe=56C96728" width="400" /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I love these pockets for</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
your photos.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If you are participating in the challenge and want a kit,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
call and reserve it.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If you aren't participating, but would like a kit, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
call Cat to see if she has any extras.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She has already had one extra kit claimed.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
These are very limited, so </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
don't procrastinate.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Can't wait to see the August kit! </div>
