I was thrilled when I came across the blog ' The Buck Stamps Here' of Jennifer Buck and saw her wonderful work using my new co-branded Unity Stamps.
The colors that she used were so vibrant and rich and I love the ribbon and the stitching. It just looked wonderful with the stamps! Thank-you Jennifer! Be sure to check out her wonderful blog!

You have got to be one of the most generous women I have met...although not officially yet...but I plan on it! I love to attend crops and dream of attending some scrapbooking events in the future...I love to crop together with like minded people...always makes for good times!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the great opportunity!
Have a fabulous day!
Well, one of these days, I hope to attend a crop to catch up with you Susan! Relive some memories from university... What I have liked most about my other crops I have attended or hosted, is the flow of creativity that seems to occur. My own creative process seems to awaken when in the presence of others who are also using and sharing their creative ideas. On another topic, congrats again on your stamps. They are stunning. It still tickles me that I can say "hey I used to share an appartment with that Susan" whenever I see your name in print or your projects in a msgazine, or now all your products! Hugs Susan and Congrats again!
ReplyDeleteWe got home from Scrapfest today and we had a wonderful time as always. I love to go to this to see all the new products, learn some new techniques, do the make-and-takes, visit with friends and especially to make new friends. That's how I met you Susan! And of course there is the shopping!!!! I had fun asking why you weren't there at the Canadian Scrapbooker booth like you asked!*L* Your products are so yummy and I'm thrilled to be given the chance to win them. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI love scrapbooking eventslike crop unfortunatley it has been some time since I have went to one- apparently life (my 2 boys) is getting in the way of this and we are just getting into our busy sporty season! Oh well I guess without them I would have a lot less to scrapbook! :( I do still scrap in the evening after they are in bed but I think it is time for this Mommy to have a girls weekend!
ReplyDeleteI love going to these events mostly for the fellowship with one another but also to hear all the creative ideas from others.....thanks for the opportunity to be part of this awesome give away..............Sharon
ReplyDeleteI love going to crops and sharing supplies, ideas and stories with other scrappers. Being inspired by the people around me is the best part! It doesn't hurt that my scrap weekends are my kid free breaks too ;)
ReplyDeleteI love to share what I know or take online courses because here in Mexico scrapbookinh is not that mainstream so there are no crops or retreats to attent to ang right now I do not have the money to attend one on USA or Canada eventhough I wish I could, but someday, I stll have hope!!!
ReplyDeleteHi Susan. I love going to crops because it´s such a thrill to gaze in at others scrapbookers-process. But mainly it´s because when I am at a crop, the girls I go with and I have soooo much fun. We literally laugh so hard our stomachs hurt and or we start to cry. I am forever grateful that I have become a part of this sub-culture and try to grab every opportunity to create, laugh and just enjoy this part of my life... Thanks for this opportunity to reflect on this subject and for reminding me of how grateful I really am..
ReplyDeleteI live 3 hours north of the middle of no-where so I've never had a chance to go to a crop but I would love to. I love how the pages in a scrapbook all come together to tell a beautiful story.
ReplyDeleteI really love going to scrapbooking events like Scrapfest. You can meet some amazing people that share common interests with you! It is always alot of fun with great make and takes too!
ReplyDeleteI haven't attended an event yet, but I would like to, learning new techniques is always fun. I attend crops, it's a chance to catch up with ladies I haven't seen in a while or only see at crops.
ReplyDeleteI love spending time at a crop with fellow scrappers. It's a great time to learn new techniques, visit with friends you haven't seen in awhile and just spend some quality time with people who understand your obsession with all things scrappy!
ReplyDeleteGreat giveaway. I like going to crops to inspire and get inspired.
ReplyDeleteI really would love to go to a local crop sometime, to hook up with people who love the same hobbies as me, and can give tips and tricks for doing things differently.
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately, due to where I live, I missed out on attendign a lot of crops; however, I love being introduced to new companies and products. I browse the Internet and when travelling, I try to stop in to a scrapbooking store.Once a year, me and a group of my friends travel to Montreal for a big crop day on National Scrapbooking Day. It is a great time to spend together doing what we love.
ReplyDeleteI like going 2 crops because seeing other peoples ideas helps me get inspired.
ReplyDeleteI have never been to a crop in person but love on line events! I scrap alone so am always glad to see everyone's work and be inspired!! Thank you so much for a chance to win!!
ReplyDeleteI love winning prizes!! I organize a crop call Scrapbook Fever in Moose Jaw, SK. When people attend, they LOVE recieving prizes! I absolutley LOVE the feeling of giving away items to them...so if I win, I promise to share with my croppers!!
ReplyDeleteSo far I have not attended any event for scrapebooking but wish for that one day. cropping is good to get inspired and finding some new ideas which we might have not thought abt. So love that.
ReplyDeleteI absolutely adore the idea of going to craft events, scraps, but unfortunately, with a lot of little ones here at home, don't get the opportunity to. I do love to get some of my friends together to craft together though. I guess that is better than nothing, right? I adore Unity Stamps and your line is amazing. Happy to have found your blog via a friend at FB and have connected via Networked Blogs. I am gonna hop of to The Buck Stamps Here, now. Thank you for sharing!

I love going to crops and retreats for some good old fashioned girl time and good opportunity to catch on my scrapboking, learn new techniques and ideas from others.
ReplyDeleteI've never been to a crop or scrapbooking event. I have been to some small gatherings of a few friends and have really enjoyed those. Now that my children are older, I may have more opportunities to get out to some of the events in my area.
ReplyDeleteI love going to crops ... great way to meet new people ... not to mention the only way I seem to find time to get some scrapping done!! Besides scrapping and people go together ... just not as much fun doing it alone :)

Crops inspire me to create with great ppl and I love meeting new ppl. It is so wonderful to be with all the great ppl and am so thankful I am able to be a part of all of it.
ReplyDeleteDear Susan - I LOVE Crops - but I don't call them crops .. I call them LOVE-FESTS because I get enough scrappy girl love from everyone to last me until the next one! My table-mates complain that they NEVER see me because I'm never at my seat and I usually get NOTHING done, but I vist and talk and get ideas and pass on ideas and lend stuff and buy stuff and help people and EVERYONE seems to know who I am and I just LOVE That! PS: I loved your "doodle" class in Red Deer and I can't wait for the next opportunity to take a Susan Weckesser Class!
ReplyDeleteI love scrapbooking:)♥
ReplyDeleteCrops are fun because we learn from each other, we give and get advice. It's all good!
ReplyDeleteDiane Young
Great giveaway! I have not really gone to any scrap events or crops...but I have attended online crops. Love the great creativity and how friendly everyone is.
ReplyDeleteI was lucky and got to go to ScrapFest and it was my first EVER! I loved it and will be going next year! Everyone was awesome and there were some great contests and really good deals on TONS of products! I also learned a lot of new (to me) techniques that I can't wait to use on my cards.
ReplyDeleteThanks,
Terri
I am another who hasn't attended a crop. I enjoy scrapbooking and card making, for myself and to share with family
ReplyDeleteI enjoy any kind of crop or class, not only for the new techniques but also because it gives me a chance to get together with people with a common interest! Thanks for the opportunity to win!
ReplyDeleteI like going to scrapbooking events and classes because it reminds me of all the awesome techniques out there. I like to see trends (like those dress forms, sewing and retro right now) and to see how products are evolving and getting better and better. I love to see how people combine the same elements in so many ways. Keep on blogging!
ReplyDeleteI just went to my first crop. It was just a place to make stuff. Nothing else was going on (except they had some snacks out). I would have liked it a lot better if the lady behind me hadn't talked incessantly about her 5 kids. 9 hours of hearing about her kids NON-STOP! So maybe I should go to another to see if I like it. I'd like to go to one that's more like a class. I did make some cute things, so it was worth it. Oh, I'd love love love to win Grandma's Needlepoint! It would make my month!
ReplyDeleteI haven't been able to gi to a scrspbookung or crafting event. But I really would love to go because I would love to see everything. All the neat stuff to use and get new inspiration.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great Blog. Love finding new blogs & websites that share such great tips and ideas and new products I've never seen or used. These stamps are wonderful. I'm attending my fist big crop in June for 2 days and expect to have lots of fun. Can't wait to read some of your past and future blogs. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteI love going to crops with friends. Spending time with friends and scrappin doesnt get much better than that. Plus getting a ton done when there is no laudry, dishes etc!!
ReplyDeleteI have never had the experience of doing either one but would love the chance sometime.
ReplyDeleteLOVE YOUR STAMPS how sweet to let someone win- I have only been to Scrapbook Expo once and a few crops and classes- AND I LOVE the excitement and energy and seeing NEW techniques- and trying out new tools for the first time! Planning my time around these events now! :) Linda Vigil :)
ReplyDeleteI am a new follower, and I love going to crops, I have only had the pleasure of going to one...last year, I soooooo wish there was more of them around here. I tried to get one going and only had a couple attend. Maine is just not scrappy I guess:(

But my friends & I get together to play with techniques and share ideas.
