Scrap and Chat Retreat 2016

Hey all!  A couple of weeks ago I attended one of the most fabulous retreats.  Scrap and Chat Retreats.  Held at 'The Country Place' in the Dandenong Ranges in Melbourne.   The most fabulous arty, creatives gathered together.  It's so amazing to gather with people that 'get' the scrappy/arty thing and understand where you're coming from...Look at all of us.

Here are some of the pages I created at the retreat, the rest you'll see a little later as they were for Design teams. 

Love this one using different bits and pieces from various companies.  Papers from Kaiserkraft, epoxy stickers from Cocoa Vanilla Studio and American Crafts.  And there's also a heart on there from Charms Creations, which I sprayed pink. 

The background on this page is using texture past and a Crafters Workshop Stencils and the colour is from watered down Distress Paints.  

Next page is using the Paige Evans collection from Pink Paislee, love those thickers!

And the last page today is this magical rainbow one.  Accentuated mainly with black and white papers and embellishments and black house paint a la Lisa Oxley.  A New Years Eve photo.  The rainbow effect was with Kaisermists and a smattering of water droplets to achieve a bleached effect.

thanks for stopping by, until next time. SaveSaveSaveSaveSaveSave

Hello bloggers.

Here's a page I created at retreat a couple week ago.

Love the black and white against the colourful background.

Here's another of the pages I created at Scrap And Chat Retreat 2015

using the Balzer Designs stencil from The Crafters Workshop.

I used sprays from Lindy's Stamp Gang to colour the background.

I love script stencils great for adding texture to a background.

The Page below is one of my shares for this month on the Imaginarium Designs Blog.

How cool are those interlocking square hippie pieces.

Goes perfectly with the The Crafters Workshop Subway stencil.

Head over HERE to see more chipboard inspiration.

Hello Blogger friends, 

as always I thank you so much for stopping by to see my work.

I love to read the comments you leave it always makes me happy to hear your thoughts

on my scrapbooking so I do thank you sincerely for that. :)

I'm sharing my page today for Show Us Your Stuff October challenge.

This month we would like you to create a multiphoto page with one or more arrows on it.

My handmade item is the flair from Flutterby Designz who are also the sponsor for this month at SUYS

Flutterby Designz very kindly gave each of us designers a little pack of goodies to use on our layouts.

I actually had plenty left over to use on other projects as well so thank you very much. :)

Please pay them a visit to check out the wide range of Flair buttons they have available.

I have a little wood veneer arrow there plus I guess you could count the stencil work, herringbone sort of looks like arrows doesn't it?!
Hope you can play along link up your pages here.
