CAT'S SKETCH FEVER

 

Cat has another set of fabulous sketches

for us this week.

I love the cluster of banners in the left hand

corner.  They make such a nice 

backdrop for the title!

Great way to use up some scraps

of coordinating paper!

 

Here's the facing page.

Since I forget to take portrait style

shots, I just substitute a landscape shot

for the one on the left.

That's the great thing about sketches.

You can change them to fit your needs!

Remember, all of Cat's sketches are available

HERE.

I figured out a way to have them available

to me without internet access.

With your smart phone, just click on

the link above.

Then click on each sketch and take

a screenshot of each one.

Put them in a folder on your phone.

Then you have easy access to them.

LOVE having them at my 

fingertips.

Grab some photos and pretty paper

and have fun cropping with 

Cat's sketches!

 

ARE YOU GOING TO ATTEND?

 

Have you signed up for the 

Bible Journaling class on Saturday?

It's a lot of fun and

a great way to spend the evening.

We learn about new techniques and products

that work on the very thin paper

Bibles are printed on.

Some are using old hymnals to

journal about the Bible verses.

It doesn't matter.

The point is to illustrate what a verse

means to you.

I hope you will join us this Saturday

at 6:00 p.m. for

an inspiring evening of 

Bible Journaling.

We usually have the tag class

prior to the journaling class,

but Nanci has a staff development to

do for school.

The tag class will be October 24th.

You can still come spend the day

scrapbooking or just journaling in your Bible.

See you Saturday!

CROPPING OUT JUVENILE DIABETES

 

Saturday, it was all about

Cropping out Juvenile Diabetes.

While we had creative fun,

we also raise money for this worthy cause.

 

There were bags full of goodies for us

to purchase tickets for chances to win.

Cat, Vickie, and two Sharons went to

Mark Witschorke's  Antique store before

Cat's opened and picked up some things to alter.

 

This window/shelf is one

that Sharon Leonard purchased to alter

for Christmas.  

 The finished product will look great on her 

walls during the holidays.

 Cat altered this picture frame 

for the Christmas holidays.

The candy striped rods were also purchased

at Mark's.

 

This picture frame is another one that

Sharon Leonard altered.

Very elegant!

We had lots of fun creating on Saturday

while cropping for a great cause.

Plus we won same great prizes!

IT'S ENCHANTING!!!

Check out this enchanting collection from BoBunny,

"Enchanted Harvest".

This was part of the "elephant dung" 

aka new product,

at the retreat a couple of weeks ago.

 Needless to say, it was quite popular.

It has fairies, seed packets, butterflies,

words, leaves....everything beautiful!

 There was just a little left and it is 

at the store calling your name!

 

Cat used some of it to create this gorgeous

two page layout.  Check out how well the

butterflies in her photos match the ones on the paper.

It is uncanny how well the paper

matches these photos.

Absolutely stunning!

If you didn't think you needed this paper before,

you know you need it now!

Stop by the store and pick some up before

it is all gone. 

CROPPING OUT JUVENILE DIABETES

Cat's long time friend's 2 year old grandson

was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes about 6 months ago. 

This child has stolen Cat's heart as he is so much like 

his grandmother was when they were kids.

 He is always smiling and happy and so full of joy.

Cat also discovered that our favorite vendor, Authentique, 

 was also recently connected to this not so nice disease. 

 Bret Cornell's beautiful daughter, Maddi, 

has also been diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes. 

She is learning, at an older age,

 how to rearrange her lifestyle to accommodate Type 1.

 Dad says she has been quite the trooper herself showing 

the family true courage at such a young age.

Our crop this Saturday, October 3rd,

will be a benefit crop

to raise money to help

find a cure for 

Juvenile Diabetes.

There will be all kinds of fun goodies for you to bid on during the silent auction.

The monies raised in the silent auction 

and all of the crop fees will go

towards finding a cure for this disease

that attacks our little ones.

There are a few spots available if you

would like to join us for a day of cropping fun

while we raise money for this worthy cause. 

CAT'S SKETCH FEVER

 

Another great set of sketches from Cat.

Love the cluster of elements in the upper left hand corner

around the title.  

 

 This facing page also features a cluster

of elements in the upper left corner.

Bonus:  the title and journal card on the

lower right corner.

I used three sets of Cat's sketches

Tuesday and look forward to

using more this Saturday at the

Juvenile Diabetes Benefit Crop.

This one will definitely be one of the

ones that I use.

I hope you will also try out some of her 

wonderful sketches.

You can find them all here.

ENJOY and

CROP ON!!!
