Getting excited yet? :-)
back after tea and kids bedtime to do some layout commenting as you have all been super busy!
Great layout Jenny ... the "sparklers" look excellent! Don't kids love them!!
What a special layout Tracey ... very heartfelt words too. Love the bright colours, the rub ons and the photo!!
There are rubon swirls, journalling, and a few word etchings under the black tape.
So good luck and look forward to seeing what you come up with.
Thank you Jenny ... love the torn edges and the tag with the journaling. What a great memory to document!
Hope we get to see a few more layouts with handwriting!!
Wow Sandra ... love the colours in this one, love the title colours, great photo collage too!! And I hope you don't cover up that writing ... It looks great!!

have a great weekend.

So after poking thru my scrap paper stash I found my solution. Who says you cant put pink and red together. I cut out the heart shapes in the PP and used that 'window' as my journal area. I wrote it in pencil first to make sure it fits (big tip) and ruled some lines to keep it straight.
Another tip, if u have a sharp pin end on your LO, put a little itty bitty dot of dimensional magic on the sharp end so its puts a little ball of product on it. no more 'sharps' to be pricked by.
Wow this is fantastic Karen ... love the red background patterned paper, the photo is very clever, the ribbon stunning for a shot of colour, the embellishments are beautiful and a cute journaling spot!!
This one ... quite different from your previous and your usual style ... very grungy!! Suits the theme of rock band really well, the red flowing through the layout is excellent and those manilla tags (available at newsagents and scrap shops) are fantastic for journaling tags.
If you took that photo you must have had a great seat!!
Fabo work again Karen!! Thank you!
Items that we have in our kits have all been purchased through these outlets and the girls have done fantastic behind the scenes work trying so hard getting the products to us in time.
Apart from that we have had a huge response from sponsorship requests.
Please visit these ladies at their websites and support them. They have been VERY generous in their support of our retreat!
A special mention here to Toni R who used to run a www. forum and shop called 'Keepin' the memories' which sadly doesn't exist anymore :( but before it shut down Toni very kindly donated some wonderful items for the retreat.......i wont say anymore but I just think they are fabulous ;-) Thank you so much Toni . You will all get a chance to meet Toni and a few other girls from further afield in SA on the retreat weekend!
As always we try and keep most things a surprise but i thought i would give you all a teaser and show you1. the big big box of retreat goodies and piles and piles of stuff i have in my office waiting to be 'packed up'
2. a little something else from the retreat ;-) Sorry Zanny - you were the guinea pig!
Thanks Kate for showing us your creations and certainly want to see more. Hope all goes well for you at Uni this year and keep checking back here regularly to see what's going on.
