Another Crazy Cyber crop almost over

...and as i don't think i'll get a class done in the next half an hour it's pens down (or rather craft knife in this instance) and sit back and wait to use UKS whilst the server goes crazy with people uploading the last of their layouts!

I've loved every minute although i didn't get all the classes done (how does ANYONE do that?). All the prep paid off though and i did so much more than last year. I managed almost everything on Friday apart from one challenge and that still involved going to bed at 3.30 am, but Saturday really threw me as i had to pick Pete up from the airport and his flight was delayed by an hour. Going to bed at midnight last night i knew i wouldn't be getting up in time to do or upload any more of yesterdays classes by the noon deadline today..but i did manage to get two of the classes done and uploaded by todays' deadline. Picking a favourite from the weekend is quite tough cos i managed to get a lot of out most of them, even the ones i didn't like (shrink plastic urrghhhh!)i learnt not to hold shrink plastic whilst using your heat tool on it (yes i am THAT stupid) and that wrapping tiny flowers around wire could cause scrappers to go insane especially after only one can of diet coke and an empty cigarrette packet (apologies to Emily who now thinks her mum is a complete monster).

I do love the first class i did which was the king and queen of hearts layout at the top. I'd never thought of using a doiley (thanks to lesley for providing the necessary) as a template for inking which is silly really cos i'm sure we did something like this when we were at school. I guess i just loved the photo too but i love scrapping in black and especially with a splash of red in there.

I didn't think i'd enjoy the second class which was a tag book key ring thing with a kit from Artbase but i'm really pleased with the result and i know that Freya is going to love it as it's a pressie for her with lots of pics of her and best mate shannon. I also managed to get a digi class in which used a template and papers and embellis i'd downloaded from Shabby Princess. I'm really getting to grips with the digi although i've got so much to learn but it's fun sometimes just to have a go and see what happens. So that's it for the weekend...last day for entries to the scrap it challenge tomorrow so anyone still interested in winning some lovely goodies including a lippy chick flop book...you don't have long to email me your entry...details if you click on the April scrap it link on the top right hand corner of this blog. Good luck and i'll be back on Tuesday to let you all know who the lucky winner is and what the challenge is for next month....Happy cropping!
