What A Weekend!!

I have just returned from an awesome scrappy weekend. I went to the first ever Wicked Princesses Retreat on the north side of Brisbane. Krissy did an amazing job of organising it - she's only ever been to one retreat herself! I don't think I have laughed so hard in all my life! I was lucky enough to sit with an amazing bunch of hilarious and extremely talented scrappers. I can't wait to do it all again next year. :)


I managed to create 14 layouts over the weekend. There are a couple I can't share just yet and I won't bore you with all the others all at once so here a couple to get you started! LOL I think this one would have to be my favourite for the weekend. I just love these photos of Darcie enjoying some pumpkin soup. The paint was the perfect colour to match and the flowers, trim and button are all Krissy's My Vintage Blossoms.


I had been saving my October Afternoon 5 & Dime especially for the retreat. This is one of the layouts I used it on:


And then used a bit more on this simple layout:


I've used a bit of Cosmo Cricket 'Social Club' on this one. I made the flowers myself, using my antique pinking shears and some buttons made with my I-top:


Oh and a bit more 5 & Dime on this one too:

So there you have it! I will be back later to share the rest of my creations from the weekend. Thanks so much for stopping by...
