Sharing the scrappy love

....by running not one but TWO workshops this past week!

Here is the layout for the online class I held at Red Earth Scrapping.....using the wonderfully cheerful Happy Sunny Skies range by Bella Blvd! I think Helen may have one or two kits available here if it tickles your fancy.

Then a complete change of mood for the final Gum Flat class of the year the other night.....the vintage style doesn't happen too often at my scrap desk, but I rather like it when it does!

(that's my brother Jared and his gorgeous family)

A lot of the techniques were inspired by Mistra, my terribly fabulous scrappy friend!

Here are the ladies masterpieces....

Sneaky peaks right here

R U ready for my online class tonight?

 I am!

And a bit excited about it too!

 Some teasers for you....

Those who have their class kits in their hot little hands will be able to start at 8pm (NSW time) when the steps will go up over at the special Red Earth Scrapping classroom!

If you haven't purchased your kit, don't fret....there are a few left here and the steps will stay up so you can do the class whenever you get the chance.

I'd so love you to join in!

Speaking of joining in....

why not have a go at the Dollies Elements challenge this week....

"It's Getting Cold"

(which is not technically true for us southern-hemisphere dwellers - but what the heck)

Here's my version....

Thanks for the visit :)

Layout Share

I was very excited to have actually scrapped at the retreat....it's not usual for me to scrap much at crops and stuff, I don't know....I think I get stage fright! Or maybe I'm just too busy chattering and sticky-beaking at everyone else's work....

Anyhow, here's what I created....

This first page was my "live" page kit swap - previously we had posted our chosen photos up on the forum and our swap-mate put together a kit of goodies for our layout. Kim chose the most perfect papers and embies for me, and this is what I did with them....

I pulled out a fail-safe Pip Prosser Takeaway for this colourful double....

Eastern inspired colours and bling for Mia's Bollywood pics....

....played with Heather's Cuttlebug to make my title....

My project I taught for the PJ Party Layout Class....

While I was off retreating, the rest of the world carried on, including new challenges at Design Dollies.

I created this (one I prepared earlier!) for the Purple Black & White colour challenge.

I really don't "do" purple - so it most definitely WAS a challenge!

Lastly, check out the current DD Sketch Challenge.....

.....has to be one of my faves I reckon....

Thanks for stopping by!
