I had the absolute pleasure of attending Crop & Create Ottawa 2012 a few weeks ago. Crop & Create is an annual scrapbooking even hosted by Scrapbook & Cards Today. They travel across Canada hitting up major cities and this year Ottawa was on their scrapbooking radar. It is a weekend of cropping, fun challenges, classes, and make n' takes. During the weekend I took in one class by the ever amazing Kelly Goree, I was super happy with the results (but have yet to put photos on those layouts that I completed). I took part in most of the challenges they had going on. Here are a few of the layouts that I entered.
The first layout is called Little Squirt - this was a sketch challenge, and I stretched the sketch over two pages. I used the For The Record collection by Echo Park for both of these layouts.
The second layout, I titled Youthful, was a colour palette challenge and I decided to do a photo of my mother in her youth. She is going through a very tough time right now, and I might just give her this layout to brighten her day.
