Scrapbook Retreat Challenge

At each Scrapbook Retreat, we have a small challenge, whereby each participant is given exactly the same items to use, a small set of rules and away they go.  This time, they each got 30cm of purple ribbon, a silver dragonfly brad and 4 Making Memories Fabric Corners.

The rules on this occasion were that you had to have at least 1 part of visible ribbon, use at least 1 of the corners and the dragonfly.  Other than that, it was pretty open.  You could add any additional items, alter them in any way and create whatever you liked (layout, beyond the page, card, tag etc).

Here is the gorgeous winning entry by Glenna:

Congratulations to Glenna who has received a $25 credit towards April 2012 Scrapbook Retreat.

Great layouts and cards produced by all.  I look forward to seeing what everyone will come up with for the April 2012 Scrapbook Retreat Challenge

New Bling

New Blings & Pearlys.  These sheets contains 3 lines each of bling and 3 lines of pearls, both in 4 different size, for a total of 48 pieces, for the small price of $2.20.  More colours to come in  future shipments.

Just Arrived

Loads of new supplies have come in, with more on the way, so keep an eye on this blog and on our website as we will be loading them up over the next few days.

For starters - Some yummy new large rub on sheets (23cm x 15.5cm), at a great price - just $4 per sheet. 

Inspiration Board # 5

Our fifth and final board for the retreat (although many of us wanted to keep going).  I think there may have been 1 or 2 layouts that didn't make it to the board in the final hour, but what an amazing lot of gorgeous layouts produced at October Scrapbook Retreat.  Can't wait till April, which will be even bigger, so expecting to see the board filled 8+ times at least.

Inspiration Board #4

By Friday night, we were ploughing through the layouts so quickly, that they didn't seem to stay on the board long enough for anyone to scraplift, so we brought in a portable white board as well, so we could have 2 going at once.  What an awesome idea that was - 30+ layouts on display at any given time.  Mojo was flowing freely after this - yay!  (thanks for the great idea Tanz)

Note Shannon's Advent Calendar on the bottom right hand corner.  She was totally dreading doing this and parts of it are tedious I admit, but once she was on the home straight, she was away and the end result is just gorgeous!  Well done Shannon.
