Catch up post and some Retreat peeks.

Last weekend I went to a retreat in Gundagai NSW named the Gundy spectacular.
This is the 3rd year I've been and it is always great fun.
We made 2 layouts taught by Kim Kendall.
This first one involved lots of fussy cutting and layering with foam tape.

The second, I don't have a photo on yet but it again had lots of layering and texture paste work.
(I discovered the merits of black texture paste!)

and a close up showing the layering.

 

Next we did a crazy scrap by passing a layout around the 20 of us and each person adds one thing.

 

I haven't decided what to do about that yet!

Kylie Tout from Scrapping clearly ran an acrylic album class
Here's Kylie's album. Mine is still unfinished.
Where Kylie's is pinks & purples, mine is yellow & lime.

Next we made a memory file, which is like a folder with integrated folders inside.
This is a partial peep at mine

 

In the middle of this class we had a thunderstorm and a blackout.

20 of us had only one light in the whole room, a tiny battery operated desk lamp

 

A big weekend of scrapping and socialising.

Next is our MOVEMBER crop last night.

 

Here I am (on the left) wearing my sticker mo and trying to smile.

I managed to finish another memory file I'm making for a Christmas gift.

My best friend turned 60 this year.

 

 

And later last night I made Christmas cards

 

 Bottom right just needs a sentiment.
