Scrapbooking Weekend Part 2...

Hi Everyone...

Another photo heavy post! Some more pics of our mini retreat...

Dinner on Sat night...


Posing in the garden with Donna, Rachel, me, Steph, Julia, Rhoda, Jean, Sara and Niki. Only Gemma is missing as she was taking the photo!


Eating yummy cupcakes that Steph brought along...


Sunday lunch at the local pub...


Over our scrapping weekend I managed another eight layouts on top of the class ones we did so am pleased with that. I can't show all of them as some are for the Being Scrappy February Kit so they will appear in some of my later blog posts. Now I certainly didn't do anywhere near the amount of layouts that Sara and Rhoda finished as they are super quick scrappers and did loads! Very impressive... I am far more of a slow and steady scrapper!

This layout has some cute pics of our friends kids when we were out for our annual Christmas get together...





We visited my friend Andrea and Jonathan in January and I got these pics of Amy and Joe helping out with making pizzas...






This was a fun layout to do, using lots of different strips of paper to highlight the photo...





For this layout I had a cute photo of our godson Freddie cuddling up to Lee...





Made a banner using a variety of washi tapes...


The final layout that I can show you is a nice and bright one of Amy crafting...



And that's all for the weekend.... we will definitely be repeating it as we had a fab time. So nice getting together with my crafty friends for a good natter and lots of scrapping time!

Thanks for looking,

Scrapbooking Weekend Part 1...

Hi Everyone!

Last weekend I was away with some of my crafty friends on a mini Scrapping Retreat. Niki booked a lovely cottage in Olney for 2 nights and 10 of us stayed from the Friday through Sunday.

Our home for the weekend, Dartmouth House...


Myself, Gemma, Julia and Rachel prepared dinner on Saturday night, we made chicken fajitas and nachos which seemed to go down well...



Our scrapping table...


The challenge wall...


Niki ran her regular scrapbook class on the Saturday so we all finished 3 x single and 1 x double layout. The rest of the time it was just our own to do whatever we wanted. Niki had set some layout challenges so worked my way through as many of these as I could.

These were the layouts from Niki's class...

1) This one of Eliza at our annual Christmas lunch had lots of little details - cutting out, stickers, buttons, twine, stamping...



Hidden journaling and photo...



2) The second layout is a pic of Lee from our holiday to Lanzarote last year...



Lots of fussy cutting with the red glitter swirl...


3) The third layout is a photo of Lee and I at his brother's birthday lunch in December...



Loved the Heidi Swapp gold colour shine mist...


4) The final layout was a double Christmas themed layout so used a selection of photos from our trip to the Lincoln Christmas Markets with my cousin Janet and her partner Alison...



A couple of fab die cut trees that Niki cut on her new Silhouette!


I'll share the rest of the layouts I did in another post...

Thanks for looking!
