Crop for the Cure

This was my first time to go to a Crop for the Cure, and I'm so glad I did. There were tons of people, prizes, friends and food. Oh, and there was some scrapping. Here is the proof:

That was my take on a sketch that used a large photo in the center of the paper at an angle. I rarely have 5x7 photos, so I cropped some of my smaller photos to make a collage. It was a great way to include mulitple photos of different angles.
Now that I have a fancy camera, I have to figure out how to use it. In order to get a great photo of my friend Patricia and me, I propped the camera up on some supplies and set the auto timer. Just before the photo snapped, the pile of supplies collapsed and all I could think of was my new (expensive) camera crashing to the ground. But the camera was fine. The photo captured the moment accurately.



So we tried again. But it was no use. The entire table was cracking up and most of the room (the giant crop room at Vanderburg Co 4-H) stared at the two dorks that couldn't stop hooting and hollering. Good grief, it is one for the record books. Here's the best we could do.



Finally we decided it made sense to have someone ELSE take the photo. And here is the proof that we scrapped even more pages.



It was a great time, but also inspirational to see the survivors and how many folks were scrapping "in memory" or "in honor" of someone. Such a great cause, a great time and I can't wait to do it again.

I'm going to practice with that self timer though.
