I scrapped it


the photo in the previous post that is....
Nik challenged me at our scrap retreat to create a layout with no patterned paper. I went to use some Basic Grey tags & wasn't allowed to use them either!! - if they are patterned paper why are they called tags?
Anyway I like what resulted from the challenge :-)
The retreat was fantastic - hot - but heaps of fun with many laughs! A few early mornings - like to bed early in the morning & up only a little later - but 8am is a sleep in for a mum! I got 15 layouts completed which was pretty good - but Louise got 23 pages done (of some paper bag albums) - what an amazing effort. Have the total number of pages coming which I'll post on the retreat blog - when I get around to it! The retreat was sooo good we are adding a Friday onto the next one for those who can get away for an extra day.
The make & takes wen't down really well. They were sponsored by the Scrapbook Outlet & Scrapbook Essentials - both these stores also gave us bits for goodie bags & prizes too. Our next one is at the end of July.
A few Scrapbook Outlet comps on the go at the moment....
going green : you gotta creat a layout with green as the 'base colour' & upload it to the gallery by Sunday 18th midnight to be in the draw for a $20 voucher
Get Real - you have till the end of the month to get these albums done... amazing prizes like a cricut & $100 SBO voucher!
Design Team Call - check the forum but the first round of entries are due in on March 25th - Andrea is amazing to work with on the Design team, yummy scrapping goodies & more each month!
I'm also looking forward to doing the online classes with Ali & Nat at Scrap Of Faith this month - the look gorgeous.... I'm working on the instructions for mine next month. It's just $10 for the classes & you can purchase kits too - $5 of the class goes to charity too :-)

New Grad

This month I used the 'Sunshine Vibes' bundle to create this layout for the Stampin' Up Artisan Design Team. Using die cuts to create stencils is a favourite way to create backgrounds for my scrapbook layouts. This bundle allowed me to do this and then to back some of the die cuts with in colour DSP.  Puffy hearts and fussy cut flowers add dimension. If you live in New Zealand and don't have a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator already and want the supplies I have used, please visit: https://laramoss.stampinup.net and head to the shop to look for: Sunshine Vibes Bundle Mini Alphabet Dies Florals in Bloom DSP

Over on Instagram, the current team is running a hop where we are all documenting in some way, what it has meant to be an Artisan. Look up @scrappykea to check out the links to the rest of the teams projects. You can see my project coming together and hear me talk a bit about the Artisan Journey in this video : If you live in New Zealand and want some of the creative supplies I have used in this project, please head to:  https://laramoss.stampinup.net/   Supplies used in this project: Two-Toned Cardstock: Secret Sea, Cloud Cover, Darling Duckling, Summer Splash, Timid Tiger Designer Series Paper: Turtle-y C...
