Simply right click and save this image to your desktop and print for yourself!<br />
<br />
I've even included a blank column to list items that I wish I had brought, and those I really don't need after all. I am all about compact packing - one trip from the car to the crop space!
Hope this helps you and I would love your ideas on items I may have missed or any suggestions on how this form can be made better - it's a work in progress.
Thanks for stopping by today!<br />

We recently had our millennial grandson living with us. After he moved out, I had to do a little cleaning.<br />
<br />
This night stand was an icky, sticky MYSTERY MESS. The room is furnished with inexpensive discount store furniture, so I have to be careful what kind of cleaner I use on it.<br />

After trying multiple different "gentle" cleaners and scrub sponges, I finally had my "AH HA" moment and grabbed my <a href="http://scraperfect.com/best-cleaner-ever-3/" target="_blank">Best Cleaner Ever</a> from the craft room.<br />
<br />

I sprayed cleaner directly on mess, let set JUST a minute, and literally WIPED the mess off with my fingertips! FANTASTIC!<br />
<br />
After I finished getting the muck off, I wiped it down with my <a href="http://scraperfect.com/perfect-cleaning-cloth/" target="_blank">Perfect Cleaning Cloth</a> (run under cold water and well wrung) and wiped with a dry <a href="http://scraperfect.com/perfect-cleaning-cloth/" target="_blank">Perfect Cleaning Cloth</a> (you know you can't just have one <a href="http://scraperfect.com/perfect-cleaning-cloth/" target="_blank">Perfect Cleaning Cloth</a> - they are too handy!)<br />

(Zombie Swap 2018)It’s that time of year.... <a href="http://yarnigrasswapperspot.blogspot.com/">Val’s Annual Zombie Swap</a>. Cute, creepy and fun — I am always blown away by the crafty talents of the participants. This year’s theme was “Employable Zombies” and I received amazing Nurse Josie..... wouldn’t you love to see her stagger into your hospital room...<br />

<br />
I have created this beautiful butterfly card that can be used for any occasion - give as shown, or add a banner with a sentiment. Make up several at time so you're ready for any card giving situation.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOYasxc16ssYwLJGPjV-jEyE4Bkh_ZVLsXt2rvvrrsXg85XuyRdj2hOCMjICYvUXwSlNeN3XeVtE8WzqszaTS8gmYejKz_rbnufqDmh8JPEaCFXPIl7T1i-U8t-CIKmXGhaPBPvqhyphenhyphenrBK5/s1600/Butterfly+Card+-+Main.jpg+WM.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1483" data-original-width="1600" height="370" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOYasxc16ssYwLJGPjV-jEyE4Bkh_ZVLsXt2rvvrrsXg85XuyRdj2hOCMjICYvUXwSlNeN3XeVtE8WzqszaTS8gmYejKz_rbnufqDmh8JPEaCFXPIl7T1i-U8t-CIKmXGhaPBPvqhyphenhyphenrBK5/s400/Butterfly+Card+-+Main.jpg+WM.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
To make this card, I used:<br />
<br />
<i>My card making must haves:</i><br />
<ul>
<li><a href="http://scraperfect.com/best-glue-ever/">Best Glue Ever</a></li>
<li><a href="http://scraperfect.com/no-clog-writing-cap/">No-Clog Writing Cap</a></li>
<li><a href="http://scraperfect.com/embellie-gellie/">Embellie Gellie </a></li>
</ul>
<div>
<i>Paper and dimensions:</i></div>
<ul>
<li>Card base - Smooth White Cardstock cut to 5-1/2 x 8-1/2 folded in half</li>
<li>Yellow Textured Cardstock (Bazzill) cut to 4 x 5-1/4</li>
<li>Smooth White Cardstock cut to 3-3/4 x 5</li>
<li>Scraps of Smooth White CS and Textured Yellow CS for Die Cuts</li>
</ul>
<div>
<i>Everything else:</i></div>
<ul>
<li><a href="https://shop.robinsnest-scrap.net/Dew-Drops-Originals_c3.htm">Dew Drops Originals</a> - Pearl</li>
<li><a href="https://shop.robinsnest-scrap.net/Diamond-Dew-Drops_c16.htm">Diamond Dew Drops </a>- Pearl</li>
<li>Stampin Up Ink - Barely Banana</li>
<li>Stampin Up Thinlits Die "Butterflies"</li>
<li>QuickKutz Embossing Folder "Flowers"</li>
</ul>
Now let's make it!<br />
<ul>
<li>Using the Butterflies Die, cut butterflies from white and yellow cardstock - set aside</li>
<li>Emboss 3-3/4 x 5" White CS</li>
<li>Ink edges of embossed CS and Yellow Card stock</li>
</ul>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQC97tfRx1_PF4YDoozTZ2FECs9i5hGkoFDZFwZfMTO8Cp5UizpQkf7iqDWusRhtNYXZHuKkHAR1WJ5b1Aek9ku1sF6g1PkbnB2HeQVktcMccD0eIyEpJv9V9fJ5unJ_9z6qX0dppWxbkY/s1600/Yellow+Butterfly+Card.jpg+Collage+1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1000" data-original-width="1600" height="250" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQC97tfRx1_PF4YDoozTZ2FECs9i5hGkoFDZFwZfMTO8Cp5UizpQkf7iqDWusRhtNYXZHuKkHAR1WJ5b1Aek9ku1sF6g1PkbnB2HeQVktcMccD0eIyEpJv9V9fJ5unJ_9z6qX0dppWxbkY/s400/Yellow+Butterfly+Card.jpg+Collage+1.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<ul>
<li>Using <a href="http://scraperfect.com/best-glue-ever/">Best Glue Ever</a>, adhere embossed CS to yellow CS and adhere this stack to card base *remember, a little dab will do ya with Best Glue Ever!</li>
<li>Attach <a href="https://shop.robinsnest-scrap.net/Diamond-Dew-Drops_c16.htm">Diamond Dew Drop </a>to body of large white butterfly. The <a href="http://scraperfect.com/no-clog-writing-cap/">No-Clog Writing Cap</a> allows you add a controlled amount of <a href="http://scraperfect.com/best-glue-ever/">BGE </a>in tiny spaces and <a href="http://scraperfect.com/embellie-gellie/">Embellie Gellie </a>makes picking up placing tiny embellishments a cinch!</li>
<li>Attached large white butterfly to yellow butterfly (applying <a href="http://scraperfect.com/best-glue-ever/">BGE</a> to center of butterfly bodies only to allow them to have movement!)</li>
<li>Attach your butterflies to upper 1/3 of your card</li>
</ul>

<ul>
<li>Next, apply Pearl <a href="https://shop.robinsnest-scrap.net/Dew-Drops-Originals_c3.htm">Dew Drops </a>to the embossed flowers - <a href="http://scraperfect.com/embellie-gellie/">Embellie Gellie </a>is a remarkable medium that allows you pick up and place embellishments - it's a must for card making!</li>

Great little project for using up bits & pieces and scraps. These clips are perfect to add to scrapbook layouts, cards, journals and planners.<br />
<br />
I've had the journaling tickets and cool metal tassels FOREVER in my stash - this was the perfect project to dig them out!<br />

Hello and welcome to my blog today!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Today I am sharing some recent crafty projects I have created using products from <a href="http://www.shop.robinsnest-scrap.net/" target="_blank">The Robin's Nest</a></div>
<br />
<br />
I so enjoy designing and working with <a href="http://www.shop.robinsnest-scrap.net/" target="_blank">The Robin's Nest</a> line of products -- there is simply no creative project that cannot be made better with the addition of <a href="http://www.shop.robinsnest-scrap.net/" target="_blank">Dew Drops</a>! I love these little bits of color and sparkle!<br />
<br />
Head on over to <a href="http://chatteringrobins.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">The Chattering Robin's Blog</a> for full length tutorials and videos for creating scrapbook layouts, cards, ATC's and a myriad of altered items and home decor<br />

I cannot wait to receive my package and see what my fellow swappers / crafters have dreamed up for this year's theme of "Holiday Toadstools".<br />
<br />
As for myself, I had a couple ideas started and scrapped.... and finally decided on paper mache (I cannot type the words paper mache without hearing Woody Harrelson saying "PAY-pee-err MAshay" on Will & Grace - - anyone else remember that episode?)<br />

<br />
I was so pleased with how they turned out -- just a little rustic with some bling -- like me!<br />
<br />
And here is how I created them:<br />
<br />
You will need:<br />
<ul>
<li>Tin Foil</li>
<li>Toothpicks</li>
<li>Flour</li>
<li>Water</li>
<li>Old book pages or newspaper, torn into strips</li>
<li>a decopauge or gel medium for sealing (I used Omni Gel that I picked up at Michael's -- highly recommend!)</li>
<li>Paint Brushes</li>
<li>Round Stencil Dauber</li>
<li>Eye Screw (for hanging)</li>
<li>Baker's Twine</li>
<li>Hemp Twine</li>
</ul>
and here's how to do it....<br />
<br />
First you need to make your paper mache form..<br />
<ul>
<li>tear off a piece of tin foil about 12 - 14", place a toothpick in one corner (this will give your stem support) and start rolling inward. After a few rolls, fold and crunch and slightly tear foil to create your stem and then crunch foil into toadstool cap shapes - your form should be one continuous piece - - there is no perfect toadstool! Every toadstool form I made is completely different! Thick caps, flat caps, misshapen caps - they will ALL look good!</li>
</ul>
<br />

Once your forms are ready, it's time to mix your paper mache medium.<br />
<ul>
<li>Mix 1 Cup Flour and 1 Cup Water with an immersion blender to create a thin watery paste. This amount was enough to create 12 toadstools which each measured 4 - 5" tall with caps measuring from 2" to the size of my palm.</li>
</ul>
**crafter's note: wash your immersion blender IMMEDIATELY once this paste hardens, it is like cement!!<br />
<ul>
<li>Dip your torn pages into paper mache batter and start covering your tin foil form. I used about 3 layers to cover. (and again, wash your bowl immediately when finished!!)</li>
</ul>
<br />
**crafter's note: I wear latex gloves for this process - - you should have a box of latex gloves in your kitchen and craft room!! They are so cheap and are really a crafter's best friend!!<br />

<ul>
<li>Let your pieces dry thoroughly. WOW - - 24 hours later, my pieces were still SOPPING WET! I didn't have time for this non-sense! I put the dryer rack in my front loading dryer and placed my pieces on top - - 2 cycles of 40 minutes on high - - cement hard shapes!</li>
</ul>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<ul>
<li>Now we start painting! For my base, I used Delta Chalky White Acrylic Paint - - this is my "go to" white paint for crafting projects. </li>
</ul>
**crafter's tip: For my next paper mache project, I will use a lighter coat of white and let the printing on the book pages show through<br />
<ul>
<li>Now paint the caps a bright, crimson red. After the red paint is dry, use a round stencil dauber to add white dots to your toadstool cap. </li>
<li>Let dry</li>
</ul>

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<ul>
<li>Brush entire toadstool with Omni Gel Medium (or other gloss/matte medium of your choice) and let dry </li>
<li>Once dry, brush another coat of Omni Gel Medium on toadstool cap.</li>
<li>Immediately pour an iridescent glitter all over cap of toadstool (I used Heidi Swapp Marquee Love Chunky Glitter -- best glitter I have EVER used! LOVE IT!!!)<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjx8NnT_OnHWzhfb9pOrFeEd_c5N4hsKQo9FAXOoTQ4evOENPasLqfmttuCfbNp4_WNMKJTqWcVCOScpAh4cXVDO6eZ9xlf2SKBuDrI9WQASSLNwco14by4oDHSyZjLwSabPcOJ03EgRq_2/s1600/Toadstool+Ornaments+2016.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="250" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjx8NnT_OnHWzhfb9pOrFeEd_c5N4hsKQo9FAXOoTQ4evOENPasLqfmttuCfbNp4_WNMKJTqWcVCOScpAh4cXVDO6eZ9xlf2SKBuDrI9WQASSLNwco14by4oDHSyZjLwSabPcOJ03EgRq_2/s400/Toadstool+Ornaments+2016.JPG" width="400" /></a></li>
<li>The Omni Gel medium really tones down the color of the paint and makes a great adhesive for the glitter.</li>
<li>Once glitter has dried, twist an eye screw into top of toadstool and use a combo of bakers twine and hemp twine as a hanger.<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
I have said it before... it was only going to be a one time thing at this location.... but we fell in love with The Manor and with Karen & Ed. And this is the place we choose to fly in from all over the country to meet and scrap and craft every year. <br />
<br />
Do you see that round room with all the french doors /windows? That's where I will be sitting and scrapping.<br />

My biggest drain every year is TRYING TO PACK FOR THIS CROP! I usually leave during the week, after working heinous overtime hours to make sure my desk & job tasks are all caught up - - so there is no time for last minute craft packing!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I have decided to create the ULTIMATE SCRAP / CROP RETREAT CHECKLIST for packing. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<br />
The book contains sets of cutting patterns and sketches along with examples of finished layouts. Simply choose a cutting pattern based on the number of layouts you want to create and get started. And get this, the cutting patterns use EVERY BIT of your paper - - NO SCRAPS!!<br />
<br />
When I first looked at the book, I thought my creativity might be stifled - - I was so WRONG! I was able to switch pieces between sketches, embellish and journal and really let my crafty voice be heard. I was also able to cut out and glue down 5 layouts in 1 day - - I have witnesses! Of course, doing the embellishments took me a bit longer....<br />
<br />
The examples I am sharing were made with 10 sheets of paper from the "Good Dog" collection by <a href="http://www.imaginisce.com/">Imaginisce</a><br />

That's why I really prefer computer generated journaling on a layout.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
In the past, when I have attended scrap retreats and crops, my journaling was left off to finish when I returned home. And then the layouts sat in a pile for quite a while (I believe I still have a stack next to me right now).</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
But I have discovered a great technique for journaling on the fly using my smart phone and Selphy printer!</div>
