March weekend crop

The weekend before surgery I went to a weekend crop near Eau Claire. I had a great time! Again, I had a lot of help from friends and "new friends" since I couldn't get around easily. And I was a BAD girl... didn't listen to Bobi... didn't ice my knee... and I paid big time. Learned that lesson! ;) Anyway, here are some layouts I finished that weekend. There is one more that I worked on, a four pager, that I haven't finished yet.

Love this LO. The colors and the paper and the font and of course the pictures are just fun! This is about our motorcycle club's annual fundraiser - a murder mystery - this time a 50s theme. I added some fun bling with jewels, and the cool title was created on a cricut.


Never thought I'd be able to use flowered paper on a layout about Greg, but well... he asked for it by wearing a "Hawaiian" shirt. LOL Every year members of our bike club goto Door County for a weekend in September, and it's usually the weekend right before or after Greg's bday, so we celebrate that weekend. And yep, he turned the big 4-0 in 2008. The colors are actually quite vivid, and I added bling with a jeweled flower and some glitter (stickles) on the 40.

This layout is about an annual get together of our "other" bike club - a loose-knit group of folks who mostly ride the current Gold Wing model (1800). The group meets twice a year in the Dells to enjoy riding, inspecting all the goodies on others' bikes, and socializing. A simple looking layout, but it took a while to cut all those circles!

Greg does an annual bike trip down into Tennessee and North Carolina at the end of October, to enjoy the pretty fall colors and have fun on the twisty turny roads of the Smoky Mtns. I loved the series of photos of Greg taking a corner (taken by Greg's cohort), so I decided to line them up to make them look like movie stills.

Another Dells trip by our 1800 group. This was truly a simple layout, so I added a little more visual interest with the "lumpy" motorcycle and by raising the Vagabond sticker with pop dots, a thicker adhesive.

Most years (every year?) we participate in more than one bike tour. We bike to locations that are set up by the coordinator. This is done over a couple/few months, at your own pace. Sometimes I think we've been on every road in Wisconsin, particular the bottom half, but somehow we seem to find "new" roads to travel! I'm not sure I'm completely satisfied with this layout... hmmm....
