The Combat Croppers ...Croppin' wherever our country moves us!

Altered Pizza Box

2009-07-05T20:11:00.000-07:00

I originally got this idea from Memories in Uniform as a container to store items to show Daddy when he returned from deployment.

I changed it up a little and made it a storage box for my son's "treasures".

He wrote in his favorite things and I wrote in the pertinent information. He loves it!!!

I'll be teaching this class at Mementos in Yuma, AZ this fall.

Contact me if you'd like me to send you a kit...they're $12.

Homecoming Layout Challenge

2009-03-18T10:58:00.000-07:00

This layout was done by non-other than Connie's husband, Tom. He took the basic class just to see what this 'scrapbooking' was all about and this was his layout. You can see his blank journal block... Tom you still need to fill that in! We'd love to see your layout ideas for your Homecomings. Send your project photos to info@combatcreations.com

Connie's Ammo Can

2009-03-03T08:13:00.000-08:00

My husband keeps his boot-shining kit inside his grungy ammo can! But a few years ago the Combat Croppers started coming up with different ways to use these hefty cans. Once cleaned out and decorated they can become storage, decor, gifts & even a memory box! If you've altered an ammo can and want to post it to this blog, then email me and I'll post it! connie@combatcreations.com
