CAG '12

Crop-a-Ganza was fun as usual!!  This year was even better b/c it wasn't so cold!! No need for blankets & snuggies to get us through the late night croppin.  Marcia, Kristina & I weren't the late night owls like we usually are...we were in bed by 3 am both nights and even slept in a bit later than intended.
I've always gone to crops in the past VERY organized...probably overly organized. Like with spread sheets listing pages, layouts to use and pics ready. I usually got teased for my method. :)  THIS time is was so NOT organized.  I shipped my box of minimal supplies weeks before the crop.  Couldn't even remember what I had sent!!  My MIL got Emma & I each a scrapbooking bag w/wheels so we didn't look like homeless scrappers with cardboard boxes. :)
Considering how unorganized I was and how unfocused I felt with all the moving arrangements I was shocked at how productive I was.  Probably one of the most productive crops I've been to!!

Here's Me & my sister in the sea of croppers:

Each CAG they have a layout contest that usually follows the theme of the crop (this time was Paris) and has certain rules to follow (this one was to use a pic of you at the crop).  Emma, surprising to me, entered the contest!!  Here's her layout and the other contestants.  She didn't win (darn! prize was a free spot at the next crop!!) but they did have a prize for each entry.

Here's a couple of my fav layouts minus the journaling:
Playin' in the KS snow...yes I'm VERY behind in my scrap years. :)
