Adams Acres

Last year I attened a “Crop for the Cure” benefit.  It was awesome.  I believe the tiny town sponoring the crop raised about $4000 for cancer research.

That got me thinking about having an online scrap here at adamsacres.com.  This will be my first try at hosting one of these crops so I thought before I get too far into the planning process  I would get the opinions of my awesome visitors.

Here are my thoughts.

1.  Crop would be a free will donation. All proceeds would be going to fund cancer research.  You could donate using a paypal button.

2.  Prizes would be awarded throughout the day.

3.  Card and Scrapbooking challenges will be supplied.  Participating members could show off their designs in the Adams Acres forum or Flickr.

4.  Games

5.  Live classes or classes done on video.

I am planning on a Saturday in May.

If you are interested in helping with the crop, have an online class you would like to teach, want to donate prizes, have card or scrapbooking challenges for the group please let me know.

I want this to be a online community event where we can have a ton of fun and raise a few dollars for cancer research.

I provided my viewers with an interlocking heart scut2 file.  I created it with the new union function in SCAL2.  Below is a little video I put together so you can start using the union function for your own creations.  I can’t wait to see what you come up with.

Today’s Scut2 file was created using some of the new features of SCAL 2.  These interlocking hearts were created as decorations for my son’s Valentines Day party.  I blew them as large as the expression could handle. Click Here to Access the download page.

Today I created a Scut file for Boxy Bags.  I found the original design on Confessions of a Ribbon Addict.  My boxes are just big enough to hold 2 bons bons which is plenty when you consider they are made with 3 lbs of confectioner sugar.  The paper wrapped around the bottom of the bag was printed [...]
