10 Steps for a Blog Hop Project

Howdy folks and welcome to the Club Scrap November Lake Blog Hop...

If you'd like to start at the beginning of the hop at any time (after you read mine of course) please just hop yourself back to Club Scrap Creates for a full list of what we have for you today.

Today I'd like to give you a simple, easy to follow set of 10 steps for creating the perfect Blog Hop Project from your Lakes kit (which is so pretty isn't it?)

Since I live on a lake I had lots of great ideas all month about what to do with my kit (or you would think that wouldn't you?)!

The most important thing when figuring out what you are going to make is the planning.  I like making a to-do list.  So...

Step #1-Make a to-Do List that includes your Blog Hop Project. (Look how cute, it's even in kit colors!)

Step #2-Go shopping for any extra supplies you might need.  Don't get distracted.

Oh Look!!  Frozen fabric!!

Step #3-Spend lots of spare time working on your project.  Again, don't let yourself get distracted by other projects, hobbies or tasks.

This one was from the devil I think.

Step #4-When it is approx. 2 days before the project is due clean off your workspace.

Step #5-Make sure you eat a healthy lunch to prepare you for an afternoon of project making.

Step #6-Get to work.

Wait a minute.  Who took that picture.  I was working on my project.  Really.  Ok well if you need a nap it might help get the creative juices flowing.  Or you might just want to spend the day under the electric throw watching football.

Step #7-On the day before you need to post your blog, send any photos off to be printed.  Go pick them up.  Run by the drugstore, grocery store, library and any other end of the month errands you need to take care of.  Do laundry.  Pack for an out of town trip.  Pay work bills, pay personal bills, make dinner.  Then get to work for real on your project because you are running out of time.

Step #8-Clear any animals, children or husbands off your crafting space.

Step #9-Cut out the only sheet of unmounted stamps you haven't already prepped because it is the one that has the stamp you want to use on it.  Rub stamps with Mount-It.  Let dry.  Eat dinner.  Have hotly debated conversation about the state of the world.  Wash dishes.

Step #10-Complete Project.

Face it, you didn't think I was going to actually get there did you?  Me either.  But I did.  Oddly I ended up with a picture from a spur of the moment trip to Lake Michigan with my Mom and Dad instead of a picture from home.
