*squeal*
A very creative young mum has made these up for me to take to our mini retreat this weekend. She will also have a stall at the blue bird markets in PL on the 2nd of October, but we are getting first dibs at them!
Small, 1 inch diameter buttons/badges/medallions/embellishments. Foam double sided tape on back. Funky designs and colours. AMAZING price.
please note: not all designs will be available at the retreat because they will have been bought by me!!

circle challenge - Sonia
This is Sonia's first time on the blog, but retreat go-ers will remember her helping Kathryn in the kitchen whip up our delicious meals!
The green is so striking with the yellow of the school shirt. Those circles are just fantastic too Sonia - really adding a massive WOW factor to the page. The layered elements and your little journalling strips are fab.
Thanks for sharing Sonia - hope to see some more of your gorgeous creations in here soon!

scrapathon
It would be wonderful to see a some fresh new faces (or even familiar old faces!!) . We have always had such positive feedback about our scrapathon 'mini' retreat. Such a relaxed, fun atmosphere with no added pressure of classes! The hardest decision for the weekend is what NOT to buy… oh and if you can sneak a second helping of Kathryn's famously delicious sticky date and caramel pudding!!
We would love for you to join us.
Email or phone Meredith to secure your spot!

Amanda's August Challenge...
They are a very easy way to add WOW to your title or journalling.
Basically all i did was to open a word document and go into shapes > stars and banners. If you place one of those onto a blank page you can then reshape it to whatever size you want.
Print your starburst and cut around it. With non permanent adhesive place it on top of the card you wish to be the middle starburst colour. Cut around it using the printout as your template.

Our Beatles Moment, is for Sue's July Sketch challenge...I may have neglected the circle part though- whoops!!

(yes between yesterday and today this layout got picked up for publication - you are just going to have to take my word for it that it is AMAZING!!)
and this is for the outline font challenge.
Oh Lauren these are STUNNING. Just beautiful. I love the random-ness of Danielle's photos and oh you have scrapped them wonderfully! Your outline font is so cute and perfect! Love the delicious mix of papers! And your clusters in Sue's sketch make me swoon. Just yum.
you clever kitten.

Sketch challenge
August - a different sort of challenge.
(sorry chickie i flogged this image off facebook! You really shouldn't trust your 'friends' you know?!)
Doesn't she have amazing hair!??
Well Miss Tatum is undertaking a different sort of challenge on August 26th - she is shaving her hair OFF on daffodil day to raise money for the cancer council.
See her inspirational post here:
Tatum - hair today gone on daffodil day 2011.
I know she will be surprised to see a post about herself here - she certainly did not ask me to write this - but i know that she would be ever so grateful for some e2c support.
Every small amount counts so please support Tatum in this very brave challenge. Even if it's $5 - it all helps.
This is a direct link to donate : Tatum's hair shave.
Let's show her some e2c love.

Lou - Same on Same Challenge
A beautiful challenge piece from Lou. She said that she had good intentions of scrapping a few more but i am guessing the recent good times at Camp Mojo got in the way ;-) She also commented that she will be trying to fit a bit of scrappy time in while sipping cosmos in NYC which is where she is off to next. What a lucky lady you are Lou. Hope you have a great time away and get a wonderful look around the US of A.
*sigh* oh white on white….. delicious! Love all the leaf / twiggy bits and oh oh oh at your title. L.O.V.E. that. So effective!

Tiff - Sue's sketch
I've used your sketch to get me back in the swing of things again. I've hardly scrapped at all during the school holidays with my time spent with the kids.
Thanks and take care,
tiff
What a nice surprise in my inbox Tiff....glad that the sketch got you started with your scrapping again and look forward to some more pages here??!! Love to see them.
This one is gorgeous Tiff, love the colours and those cute 'eggs' as your circles, love your stitching and that border punch is very effective....just love it all... and it looks like lots of fun was had with the kidlets during the holidays!!
Great to see some pages popping up here....and on this dreary cold sunday maybe i might even get to attempt one of the other challenges myself.
Have a good day,
Suexx

Kathryn - Sue's Sketch
FINALLY.......... I have done a challenge and finished it before the end of
the month! LOL.
Kathryn
Xx
Great work Kathryn (nice to see some different faces in here!!)
LOVE that awesome pink - how eye catching and girlie. Cute little rabbit - real one in the photo and the chippie embellishment on the side edge.
The flower, vine and floral paper finish it all off perfectly.
My kids absolutely adore Greenpatch too - it's nice to see kids being gentle with the little animals.
Thanks for participating and scrapping up a ripper of a page!
