Croptoberfest 2009

Croptoberfest 2009 was a great success! There were Picfolio album pages completed, traditional scrapbook album pages completed and even Christmas greeting cards completed at this event. Each person received a Fall page completion kit just for participating. I shared my Harvest Treat Bag idea made with Creative Memories paper, Leaf Maker, Tag Maker and Done with One. Each bag was scored using Creative Memories 12" Rotary Trimmer.

(Available for purchase at my website Fruitofherhand Shop)

WISE IDEA: Use your extra paper and die cuts from previous projects to make treat bags for your Fall celebration - Don't have a Cricut Cutter to make the bags... purchase a pack of lunch bags - cut off the top half the bag with the Creative Memories 12" Rotary Cutter, using the wavy blade and add leaves cut with the Leaf Maker, die cuts and stickers.

The Make and Take project was a Christmas wreath made with Creative Memories Sweetheart Maker, Bubble Maker, Evergreen cardstock, Red cardstock, Tape Runner, Precision Adhesive and red ribbon. For instructions please contact me and receive (1) Fruit of Her Hand Buck (good towards the purchase of any in stock scrapbook product, greeting card product or jewelry).

This extended crop was a lot of fun with good Fall food: meatball subs, macaroni and cheese, mini carrots, apple slices and Pumpkin Pie Cake for dessert. We also ate popcorn and watched the movie "The Proposal". I hope you can make it to my next event.
