It was a very ambitious make and take as these are normally a little project that takes about 10/15 minutes. I had been to a class a few months ago at Hello Crafter in Saltaire, and a big part of that was learning to mix your paints and mediums correctly. As we needed the speed of a make n take, I had done all of the prep previous to the retreat, and the ladies just had the fun of selecting their paints, adding them to the cups, and doing a "Pour". If you haven't seen paint pouring before, take a look on YouTube it really is very therapeutic to watch !<br />

We had 30 ladies this year, fabulous projects and amazing teachers, and already am being asked when is the next one, and as always those ladies asking me why we can't have two a year :) its heartwarming to have such tremendous support and loyalty, and also always lovely to have a few new faces each year. It really is like spending a weekend with old friends, as we are all like minded, share our stories from our photographs and of course all love Scrapbooking. Here are just a few of the projects we created ....<br />

We had a three hour class to make silver stacking rings. Firstly we started by making a copper practice ring, and then we made three silver rings from silver wire. we curved it into a ring shape (although mine looked like a kidney bean) soldered it, put it on a ring mandrel and hammered it into a proper ring shape, and used the anvil to hammer it flat. Next we pickled all the bits off in a light acid, then we decorated them with a pattern and finally they were polished (and oxidized if you wanted to), such a brilliant class with fantastic results.<br />

Just time for a little bit of scrapping today and finally had time to use these gorgeous designer papers Animal Expedition. I've seen some gorgeous cards made from these papers, take a look on Pinterest if this is where you normally look for inspiration. Enjoy ....<br />

It was lovely to receive an email from a new delegate, what she said really rang true with me so i thought I would share it.<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i><span style="color: black; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">"I heard about your retreat from some of my co crafters at a local
group I attend, </span><span style="font-size: 12pt;">the rest of the group were so impressed with the generosity of the
kits and the exciting projects they came back with this year (and very jealous
!) What struck me was the way they have been more adventurous with their projects and designs, breaking away from their usual style of working since attending. And still,
even now, producing even more beautiful pages with the left overs from
the kits they were given at your retreat". </span></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">Its the last part that struck me as being so true (and it was nice to hear the rest) but we do have a </span>tendency<span style="font-size: 12pt;"> to stick to what we know, our own little comfort zone. That's one of the main reasons that i still attend classes and retreats, to further </span>develop<span style="font-size: 12pt;"> my skills and learn something new or just try something "outside the box" that otherwise I may not have. Happy crafting. </span></div>

We we're both messing around with spritzing and I wanted to use some gilding flakes I have had for eons and never used. We had worked on a piece of 8x8 card, so I promised SJ I would mount it onto something and frame it. I decided to go for black cardstock which I have embossed using another blast from the past Pillion Potpourri butterfly stamps and a couple of small insect stamps from a new set, which I will share some samples from shortly.<br />

The starter kit is still only £99 and for this amount you can select £130 worth of products from the new catalog AND only in July, you will receive an additional 10 Ink pads, these giving you an extra £70 of value to your starter kit.<br />

I still love the punch and have been itching to use it, so here it is on the layout.<br />

I made a simple background using the wet wipe technique a bit of spritzing and some "flicks" of paint (you could use water colours, and packaging technique, anything goes really). As you can see my background doesn't look very impressive but once it is die cut or punched, the results are great :)<br />

We had great fun, a good old catch up and threw ourselves into our crafting. Sharon is always so organized and knows exactly what she is doing in order to prep for her classes, or making gifts and cards for up and coming events. Yvonne brought along her jelly plate, something I have been wanting to have a play with for some time, and she made back ground after background for a whole stack of cards, and also made a beautiful card for her daughters birthday. Jane sewed and challenged me to my second sewing challenge since I left school (a couple of years ago I made some rabbits, but it was a massive challenge for me), and now Jane wants me to sew freehand! Ginnette made beautiful jewelry, and Sally Jo and I jumped around between everything LOL.<br />

These are pages that people do at home on a theme set by me which we enter in to a little prize draw .... Usually one of the challenges is a little "getting to know you" type theme, and we have had all sorts in the past for instance irrational fears, hidden talents, and guilty pleasures. This year we went for "Heroes" and here is a small selection of the entries made ....<br />

I love this group of ladies so friendly and warm, and totally passionate about Scrapbooking (like me). :) we were blessed with fabulous kits using products from Simple Stories, Prima and Echo park to name a few and the classes were so inspirational as always with a variety of styles to challenge everyone and help us out of our comfort zones, From Interactive, to fussy cutting to inky and painty, there was something for everyone ......<br />

Busy times but i still always manage to fit in some crafting. I had the build up to Scrapstars my craft retreat throughout January - March and managed to squeeze a holiday in their too. We had a week in Cape Verdi (our first visit there). I was trying to avoid a long haul flight just for a weeks holiday, (which we often end up doing because of the times of year we seem to book our holidays), so I thought we would give Cape Verdi a try (which still ended up being 5.75 hour flight)! I liked the little town we were next to Santa Maria, and our hotel was beautiful and really clean, but boy the wind drove me mad. Too windy for me on some days however, I did manage to sit in the sun a little bit more, well more than my normal whole week underneath an umbrella! Here's a picture ....<br />

I struggled to come up with an idea, but on reflection perhaps planets and stars may have worked (that can be an idea for another time). So this is what i came up with, quite a simple layout really but the photo's of our most hilarious meet n greet at Disney, will always make me laugh out loud :)<br />
