It was the first time I stayed overnight and cropped. I also took a class from Cathie Allen, so it was really a packed couple of days. I think Sue, Nancy and I had more fun than humanly possible! And if you are a scrapper and you haven't heard yet about my huge wipe-out during the scavenger hunt, I'd be surprised! :-) The Scrapalicious booth was hopping all weekend with great make 'n takes and these beautiful artsy.licious papers.
When I received a stunning DT kit of Chatterbox papers and embellishments, I looked at the brown, red, blue and green and realized how beautifully they would match the American Crafts albums that I just bought for my Library of Memories. I couldn't resist making my album title pages using these papers in a monochromatic way. Starting from the top, I used brown for my Things We Do album.
For each page, I selected a meaningful photo for the focal photo. On the Things page, the photo depicts my hubby and kids playing cards with my cousins' kids in our favourite Montreal hangout - Tim Horton's. The blue Places We Go page highlights places, both near and far, that are meaningful to us. The large photo is taken from Whistler mountain during an airshow. See the three planes in the upper right of the photo?! (Much easier in person!)
Our home, the place we go most often, is pictured right below the title. For the green People We Love, the photo is of Stephen's grandmother's 85th birthday, which we celebrated in our former backyard with most of Stephen's family. And the red We are Family album will house pages with photos of all 5 of us. Since I am usually behind the camera, I was surprised that I was able to find enough family of 5 photos to fill this page! :-}
The upper right photos is the first "family of 5" photo we ever took. It was taken at Easter, right after the girls were born, and is the first of hopefully very many more of all of us together.
If you didn't have a chance to get to Scrapfest, stop by Scrapalicious and see these beautiful papers. The artsy.licious line includes stunning flocked, embossed, glittered and many other beautiful papers, either individually or in multipacks.
I will have more of the Scrapfest projects I created for Scrapalicious to post soon.

Wish I could have joined you at Scrapfest... sounds like you had a lot of fun. You'll have to fill me in on the infamous "wipe out".
Pete and I are tickled to see ourselves in your People I Love page layout. We love you guys too!!
Hey am I that un-memorable??? ;)
Hey Jen - of course you're memorable! I mentioned Sue and Nancy because we got crop tickets together, but you were - of course - a big part of our fun weekend too! Who could forget you meeting the neighbourhood friendlies as you walked to the hotel at night, or your beverage at dinner on Saturday at Rum Runners???? :-P
{{{hugs}}} Jen, I hope you're feeling better. See you in a couple weeks!
