Gals,

I'm reposting this because I failed to include details in an earlier post.

CROP: Friday June 18th 6:00PM-Midnight Cost $15.00 Snacks provided as well as all the help you could want from Mz Martin. She has a lovely scrapbook store in Snyder, TX and 17 years of experience.

Workshops: Annette Martin from 10:00AM-noon 2 2page layouts. One summer related the other 4th of July or Patriotic

Lunch: Gourmet BBQ burgers and all the accoutrement noon-1:00PM Saturday

1:00PM-4:00PM Big Shot workshop/Greeting cards as well. Summer BBQ card and birthday cards made from the die cuts and embossed items we make during Big Shot demo. Bring extra cardstock to use with Die cutting machines! We will also have a Cuttlebug and personal Cricut. If you want to bring your own cartridges do so. Also bring your cutting mat if you want to use the Cricut.

For questions you can email me at cerwelt@gmail.com.

Act fast as there are only a couple places left on Friday's CROP.

We only had nine spots for the CROP and 14 for the workshops. You get a $5.00 discount if you sign up for both. You also get five extra door prize tickets for paying for both the CROP and Workshops.

We are asking gals who attend Saturday to bring sides that go well with burgers to keep costs down.

Hope to see you there.

My Scrapbooking Group

I am posting this on three blogs at one time, ain't tecnology grand?





Once a month I put together a paper crafting meeting at our local Barnes & Noble store. I come up with guest speakers and demonstrators and we have a great time.






This month "jewel" Vicky Mumme was our presenter/demonstrator. She put together a very informative and interesting presentation. She had just returned from a convention in Dallas where she had seen Tim Holtz share his new products and skills in a workshop format.

For those of you who have not yet heard of Tim Holtz I challenge you to do a Google search of Tim and watch a few videos of his style.




We saw first hand some "altered art" Vicky has been working on, and even made lovely paper roses with simple five petal flower die cuts.

Our group continues to grow and this meeting was standing room only! If you are in the Permian Basin of west Texas, come to Barnes and Noble on the 2nd Tuesday of each month at 7:00pm and join us! The meetings are open to the public and free of charge!

Summer BBQ Crop

Mark your calendars, save your shekels (that's money), get your paper and supplies packed and come to Gardendale. Why? Well PB & J is sponsoring it's first CROP and it's going to be so much fun. We'll have workshops, demonstrations, door prizes, snacks and a BBQ out in the country. Come to the "littlest CROP house in Texas", at least that's what I call it.

We have limited room (9 for the CROP Friday) and (14-16 for the workshops and classes Saturday). Our guest instructor will be Annette Martin of "Scrapping the Moments" in Snyder, TX. She has a cute little scrapbook store there and has THE cutest stuff. I just recently purchased a kit for only $9.00 and made a bunch of pages. Anyway, she will be helping you gals get your pages together at a CROP on Friday (6:00PM-midnight) and then from 10:00AM-noon Saturday we'll have a BIG SHOT demonstration/card workshop and then from 1:00PM-4:00PM Annette will be walking us through 2-2page layouts. One will be a summer set and the other a 4th of July set. Her pages are so cute and she's been scrapping for 17 years.

The cost for the full weekend is $50.00 and that includes all workshops and classes, your gourmet burger on Saturday and snacks Friday. We are asking gals to bring sides for the Saturday BBQ so we can keep costs down.

Annette is bringing a "Bucket of Booty" from her store for door prizes and I've been collecting goodies as well. No one goes home empty handed. For a brochure email me at: cerwelt @gmail.com.

She has recently returned from the big scrapbooking convention in Dallas and I can hardly wait to pick her brain!

See you there.

Workshop

Once a month I get together with a few of my girlfriends from Odessa and we make cards for our loved ones. This month my daughter and granddaughter were with us. We made a father's day card in the shape of a matchbook and a generic birthday card.




One of the gals played hostess (she gets free stamps) and brought the most yummy dessert.





I enjoyed playing and sharing my friends with my daughter and her little girl. Hope everyone enjoyed it as much as I did!


My granddaughter was such a big help. I look forward to when she is old enough to come spend time alone with grandma.

A Good Time

Here we are at Barnes and Noble, and as you can see by the intent look on everyone's expressions we are enjoying ourselves. Annette Martin is sharing from her "experience pool".



Here is another shot, but this time Ammie Riggs is demonstrating a cool resist technique using alcohol inks.



Here Annette is sharing her blog and also some of her many resources on her website. We had two new gals attend. We had our first scrapbooker from France! Welcome Clairance! Or should I say "Bon jour"?



We had a load of door prizes, and Clairance won the door prizes from "Scrapping the Moments" in Snyder, Tx. We are really looking forward to our first CROPs and retreats with Annette. Thanks to both Ammie and Annette for sharing their skills.

May PB & J Meeting

Hey Gals,

Next Tuesday (May 11th) is our next Permian Basin Jewels Paper Crafters meeting. Our main guest speaker will be Ammie Riggs. She will be demonstrating alcohol ink resist techniques. This will be a hands on meeting. Everyone who comes will be DOING after Ammie demonstrates how to use these inks. Come prepared to learn!

Our second speaker will be Annette Martin. She owns "Scrapping the Moments" store in Snyder, TX. Annette would love to do some actual CROPS and scrapbook retreats here in the Permian Basin. She is a gifted young lady with lots of experience and is very excited about teaching us as much as we are willing to learn. She will be bringing examples of her work so that we can all see her adorable products and style of scrapping!

We are so blessed to have such wonderful gifted gals in our midst. Please invite all your gal pals who scrap. The more of us who are participating the less work any one of us has to do AND the better chance we'll get new guest speakers and draw vendors to help us with bigger and better door prizes. As always we will have door prizes, BUT we are no longer allowed to bring food into the store. We can, however, buy drinks and goodies at the cafe. Let's all support Barnes & Nobles by buying their magazines (I will have them all set out for you to see), books and cafe goodies. They are offering us space to hold our meetings, it is the LEAST we can do to shop there.

If you join their member card program you get at least 10% off everything in the store. You also get coupons in your email box that can give you more savings on highlighted products.

For questions, directions or just to blab you can reach me at cerwelt@gmail.com

I look forward to hearing from each one of you.
