Crop Til' U Drop

Today is National Scrapbooking Day!
To celebrate I am going to Crop Til' I Drop with the: Three's A Charm Blog Hop. If you are following along on the hop you should have arrived here from Ann at Creative Kuts. If you are just joining us the full line up is listed below. Hopefully you were able to join us yesterday for our Spring Themed projects.

We would LOVE to invite all our followers to join us and add pictures of your projects at Celebrating Ordinary Moments FACEBOOK page, and maybe win some prizes.

I am going to be super busy with my daughter's bowling birthday party today, but I planned ahead so I could get some fun projects completed during the crop. I set aside some photos, paper and layout sketches so I can maximize my crafting time before and after the party. My goal is to share 5 projects with you today. (We will be posting our projects as we finish them. I will add my new projects at the end of this post)

Now on to my projects for the day...Wish me luck getting to 5

PROJECT #1: Let down your hair.

I made this fun scrapbook page of my daughter the day the Disney movie, Tangled, came out. We had to see it opening day so we went with a close friend and her daughter. For the page I wanted a large statement and felt "Let down your hair" was just right. I cut it with Cursive 101. I also used a torn edge o the paper for fun. I used a tool form Creative memories for this. I got up and pieced this page together this morning after cutting out the words last night to prepare. I hope I make my goal of 5 projects today and I hope you will scrap along with us as well.

Project #2 I wish I could say I was posting a second project, but with the bowling birthday, shopping for Mother's Day and adding a new table to my scrapbook room...it didn't happen. Soooooo  glad I got this first one done this morning.  Hope everyone had a great day. Join us tomorrow for our Mother's day themed gifts.
