June Scrapbooking Retreat

Are you behind on getting your photos into photo safe albums?  Whether your scrapbooking style is simple or fancy, we all need to set aside time to complete our albums.

Over the last few years, I've been fortunate enough to attend a long weekend scrapbooking retreat with some other scrapbookers.  At these events I've managed to get lots of ideas and inspiration to get lots of pages done in my scrapbook albums.  We've also shared stories, laughed a lot, and enjoyed the break from husbands and kids!

This year, we will be hosting a Scrapbooking Retreat in my brand new house and studio, at 2 Parsons Grove, Park Holme.

Dates: From 3pm Friday 5th June until 5pm Monday 8th June.

Meals:  Friday dinner, Saturday breakfast and lunch and dinner, Sunday breakfast and lunch and dinner, Monday breakfast and lunch.

Accommodation options:  Sleep in your own bed and travel to and from my place each day (leave your scrapbooking gear here), or BYO bedding and sleep on a fold-out bed in the house.

Cost:  $25 to cover meals and snacks.  Spaces are limited, and bookings are essential.  Email me if you are interested, and I will send you further details such as what to bring, and the proposed menu.

If you are unable to attend the whole weekend but would like to come along for a day, let me know and we can work something out.

 

The finished cards from the One Sheet Wonder

The cards shown above are made with the panels from the One Sheet Wonder, plus coordinating cardstock. The colours used are Taken With Teal, Apricot Appeal, Certainly Celery and Tempting Turquoise. With a couple of them I used Whisper White as the base card colour. I used all of the panels cut from the one sheet wonder, only trimming off a small amount on a couple of them to suit the card.

One Sheet Wonder

I've seen different versions of this idea on blogs, so I thought I'd have a go myself.

For this set of cards I've used the Friendly Flowers set from the Summer Mini Catalogue, which finishes on March 31 (so if you want to order it, you'd better do so asap).

I used one A4 sheet of Whisper White cardstock, and stamped the images using Tempting Turquoise, Certainly Celery and Apricot Appeal stamp pads. Some of the images have been stamped off first so as to make the image a lighter colour.

I also overlapped some of the images to fill in the white areas more.



Then I cut the A4 sheet into various sized panels, which will be used to make several different cards. I didn't do any real measuring apart from when I cut a panel into thirds. I just cut each piece in half, then in half again.




The picture at the top of the post shows 3 cards made with panels from this sheet, I've still got a few more cards to finish, so I'll post pictures of them when I can.

The list just keeps on getting longer

Well, I was going to add more things to the sold out list, but as this is being updated and added to every day, it's probably just better to contact me if you want to order anything on the retiring products list, and I'll check to see if it's still available...
