Topics I've Started

Heritage Crop

16 May 2013 - 08:30 AM

Do you have boxes of heritage photos just waiting to be restored and scrapped? Are there family stories just waiting for you to write down and preserve? Then this is the crop for you! Join April (April Showers) at 9 PM ET for the Heritage Crop and Chat. We'll help you get motivated to scrap those heritage photos and record your family stories for future generations to enjoy. This month, we'll show how to use collections like First Blush Collection Biggie to add a soft touch to your heritage layouts!
High Noon Crop

14 May 2013 - 11:11 PM

Join me, April Showers, each Wednesday at 9 am Pacific, 10 am Mountain, 11 am Central and Noon Eastern Time for the High Noon Crop. These crops are designed to allow you to work on your own photos and themes simply giving participants a one hour goal and a fun, new challenge each week.

On May 15th we'll do a surprise color challenge! Create a layout predominantly using a color to be chosen by the group at the beginning of the crop! We're going to play a GAME to choose the colors, so you'll definitely want to be there.

Create your layout and upload it to the special High Noon Crop and Challenge Gallery. You'll be amazed what you can get done in just one hour, but there is no High Noon Sheriff timing you! Hope to see you in the chat room!

And you know I haven't worked ahead on this one... unless I get lucky and we get the colors in one of my unposted pages.

The colors are Blue and Green. Any variation is fine.

I hope that you find some answers today for Thomas, April - I know how tough these migraines can be and mine don't last nearly as long as the ones he's had. Surely there is something they can do for him. I'm glad you're getting some help today and I hope you keep us posted. Tell him we are all thinking about him and hoping for resolution.

Hi April....checking....I still do not receive any e-mail notifications for anything. Checked my notifications and it looks as if it is set up correctly. Any thing else I need to do/change? Thanks.

Thank you for your sweet comment on my family layout, April! You are always so generous and kind with your comments and I so appreciate them. It always makes me smile when I see that you've looked at and commented on one of my layouts! I'm such a novice layout person - even after all these years of doing them! Thanks again!

Just thought I'd pop in and tell you that seeing your fabulous layout in this morning's newsletter sent me straight to the boutique to buy Ang's Opposites Attract Collection! LOL It's in my cart waiting to see what other goodies I want! I thought I had that one, but guess not. Your layout was awesome!

Not only does my email freeze, but so do some pages on SG. Do you know how long we'll have to keep java disabled? What's causing all the commotion anyway?

Thomas is doing better today. He's not 100%, but he's busy programming. Thanks for all your thoughts, prayers and advice. I appreciate it.

How is Thomas feeling today? My youngest came home for Christmas with a migraine. I could see it in his face before he reached the door. Horrible. I wish there was a perfect treatment for them! Been thinking of Thomas and hope the siege has ended.
