Scrapbooking Weekend Retreat....

.....
The weekend scrapbooking was fabulous!! It was so nice to just sit and scrap with no interruptions!! There was 9 ladies and we all had a great time - the food was good, the company even better and we all got lots of scrapping done. Here is some of our scrap area - the only time there wasn't bums on seats like this was when it was time to eat!!
I did 10 layouts which include a triple (it's supposed to be 4 pages in the flip out page protectors but I ran out of the colour cardstock that I was using so will have to finish page 4 at home - it just goes to show that no matter how much you overpack your scrap gear you can still be under prepared - lol), 3 doubles and the rest singles. Very pleased with myself!!


Here is one of my faves - Madi was standing looking out to sea on our Easter holiday down at Hutchisson last year and I was sitting back on the beach clicking away with my camera.
This is just one of those shots and I loved it!!
The page is just a simple one as I wanted the photo to shine. I was desperate to use my 2Crafty Chipboard Circles (from Papercraft Artistry) and so I covered them with patterned paper and they give a dimensional look to the page which I love. Add a title and some rubons and it's done. Too easy!!

Can't wait for weekend retreat...

.....
So many things going on...

I am getting organised for this weekend - My "once a month Friday night scrapping buddies" and I are going away for a whole weekend of scrapping!! And...we are all so excited!! The "I can't wait" sms messages have already started and I am busy packing my scrapping gear.

I have sorted my stuff so that I can pull out co-ordinated papers, cardstock and embellishments that I have already matched to photos - I am soooo organised. That way all I have to do is sit and SCRAP - oh and maybe chat a bit (wait - did I say chat "a bit" well you know me - I should have said chat "a lot") and eat lots of chocolate and lollies (bummer - I need to go and find sugar free lollies).

Hopefully, if all goes to plan I should have some pages to post here and on the website next week.

This is the first time in a few years that I am actually going on a scrapping weekend that I didn't have to run for my business and I am going to enjoy it.
