GoGo Getaway Oct 2013 Part 1...

Hi Everyone!

Last weekend I was at the October GoGo Getaway with some of my lovely scrapbooking friends. Niki, Jean and I all went along to the very handy location at Cheshunt (only 30mins away from us!). We met Donna and Rachel there and also caught up with Natalie who we hadn't seen for a while. Janice and Lorraine put together a great weekend, with 7 x classes (you can select from 3 x options for each class!), plenty of crop space and a visiting shop (we were very lucky to have Sarah's Cards there this time...lot's of opportunity to spend money on essential stash of course!).

Here are the classes I completed over the weekend...

The first class of the weekend was on Friday night and was 'Twiglet Time' with Lorraine Ablett...

'Chanson Pour Deux' on Saturday morning with Nicola Kerridge, a lovely little mini canvas decorated just like a scrapbook layout...

'Make An Entrance' taught by Rebekah Brumby was my second class on the Saturday. We created some acetate faux gates to go over a photo...

My next class on the Saturday was 'Just Divine' by Sam Ball... you need to be prepared for lots of fussy cutting in one of Sam's classes as you can see!

The last class of the day was 'Nesting Instinct' which was another class with Sam. Not quite as much cutting out in this class though we did have to make a nest from raffia, sew some eggs from felt and twist some thin twigs into a nice shape to go round a photo!

On Sunday morning I did the 'Pop Up Peeps' class with Rebekah, we made our very own pop up on a layout...

My final class of the weekend was 'Petal Press' with Sheena Rowland. We got to make faux handmade paper using loo roll but looks very effective!

All in all a fab weekend, I look forward to these each year and they never disappoint! When else can you sit up until 2am in the morning with friends scrapping and catching up.. perfect! More photos in a post later in the week...

Thanks for looking!

Dec Week 2 layout for Being Scrappy...

I loved this week's Kit from Being Scrappy, it contained the fab papers from the This and That range by Echo Park which were perfect for this photo of Lee's Dad meeting the artist Alwyn Crawshaw when we were in Mundesley.

I used the caramel Bazzill as the base for my layout, then cut a 9" x 11" piece of the green 'Numbers' paper and stick this down towards the bottom of the layout (ink the edges first with brown ink). Next cut 1.5" x 11.5" (fans) and 4" x 11" (wood) pieces of the 'Vintage Fans' paper, ink the edges and attach to the left side of the layout. Then cut a 5.5" x 4" piece of the crossword 'Journalling Cards' paper, ink the edges and attach to the bottom right.

Attach a 5" x 7" photo but only stick the two sides and the bottom as I included some hidden journalling that I tucked behind the photo.

Staple a piece of the ribbon down to the left of the photo. I also added a bit of washi tape from my stash.

Add some embellishments to the bottom right of the photo, the buttons were also from my stash.

I cut a couple of the cards from the 'Journalling Cards' paper (ink the edges) and attached a punched tab top to each of them. These were then tucked behind my photo.

Finish off with a title, I picked a variety of alphas from my stash for this!

Pop on over to Be Scrappy to pick up this Kit, and if you like a good deal have a look at the great value monthly subscription available. To see more layouts have a look at Niki's blog here.

Thanks for looking!
