[Michellepooh]

Kat - you could try, but they're pretty jam-packed. It's amazing how much room a 2 year old's stuff takes up!

 

[123SA]

Mine were mailed today. Buffy I wrote you a note about postage in the AK Kit thread. Thanks for hosting. I am looking forward to seeing everyone'ss work.

 

[StitchIsOurHero]

Mine are finally done! They will go postal hopefully tomorrow with the kit swap. I'll post again to confirm that they've gone!

 

[SusieStone]

This is what I have gotten done

Dinoland
Jungle Trek
Discovery Island
Bug Off
Hakuna Matata


I want to do Pizzafari instead of Petrifies please.

I really want to have these in the mail this weekend.

 

[missesdisney]

Lots of progress this weekend! Amazing what some down time in a camper will do for the scrapper!

I have my general cut and matted - just need embellishments
I know what I'm doing with Africa and have some jpgs printed and cut but have to do the rest still
Boneyard cut and matted - just need embellishments
Giraffe - done

I've figured out when I have a lot to do its easier to get the base pieces done then embellish later - of course they are all sketched first!

Hope to finish next weekend - this is a crazy week with DS back to school and still has football practice 3 nights! And I have to work a bazillion hours!

Thanks for hostessing!!

 

[Tigger1221]

I am working on these still. Having trouble b/c I want these to look Awesome but the effect I want is really drivining me crazy.

 

[BernardandMissBianca]

Michellepooh, I got your stuff today!! Great work!

 

[BernardandMissBianca]

SIOH and 123SA I received your stuff today!!!
Great work!

I posted on SIOH's Newbie AK thread that I had some problems with my Camp Minnie-Mickey stuff. I had bought paper, couldn't find it, found a backup, but didn't like how it came together. Seemed too general, and not Camp MM like. Then, while looking for fibers for a tag, I found the bag with the paper. So then I got to work and finished that group.

So now the only thing I have left is Group E Flights of Wonder. I am kind of stuck, but I really want to get these finished before the weekend.

I read. I laughed. I feel your pain! LOL

 

[TPCShauna]

Tigers are done.

I sketched and partially assembled my Asia group and then decided I didn't like them and tossed them. Now I'm back to the drawing board again, literally. I've been looking through pics of Asia for inspiration. I just can't decide how I want these to look because I don't want them to be too "Asian" but I want them to have the right feel.

Can you tell I've been suffering from scrappers' block?

P.S. Forgot to add that I'm waffling on my water group also. If I can switch my kit to Cheetah, this one will be a cinch.

 

[hopemax]

Finished the Flights of Wonder stuff, so I am officially DONE!

Now I hope everything fits in a flat rate box. I'll probably give these to DH to mail at the beginning of next week, but I will post when they are postal.

 

[BernardandMissBianca]

Does this look ok as a topper?? Even on the smallest size setting on the Cricut the letters were huge! Should I add fiber on the tag or leave it?

 

[hopemax]

I wouldn't add a fiber. I think it is fine. The only thing would maybe be some sort of flourish (vines maybe?) under the words "Discovery." I like the tag part, to get extra space. I never would have thought of something like that. If you had posted this sooner, I might have scraplifted it. My topper I did for Flights of Wonder is a bit larger than normal too, to get the letters to fit. It's 3" tall, plus there is a bird that sticks out a bit too.

 

[BernardandMissBianca]

I can cut vines on my Cricut. I'll try that tomorrow, thanks!

Nother quick question, Doesn't Rainforest Cafe have a volcano???

 

[BernardandMissBianca]

should the word Discovery be straight or messed up like Island?

 

[missesdisney]

I went to LSS and bought more stickles, candy crusted cardstock and extra large eyelets......I also found some paper that I just couldn't leave in the store.....oh, I also got some ric rac.....let's see what I come up with now. My son will be at church at his first overnight lock in.....so it will be swap, swap, swap for me.

If you don't mind my asking, what is an overnight lock in at church?

 

[BernardandMissBianca]
