Super Sunday Spent at Sandon

try saying that quickly lol. Anyway it really was lovely we had some glorious weather which made us all feel good to start with. We then sampled the latest techniques in our crop class. We took along some fabulous stash for our lovely scrappers to stroke and buy. We also had our youngest EVER scrapper turn up - 10 weeks old - and definitely the star of the crop! See for yourself......

and here we are busy scrapping

Want to see us ALL ? here you go

Cropped Out - again

...and we are back with more news and photos from last weekends Mini Retreat.

Remember we told you about the gorgeous LO designed by Ifa Zainon - well we have a photo.

Worth waiting for yes? - The kit is made up from Crate Paper Brooke Collection and we have a few left for sale. We also have a couple of the previous kit we shared Bee Happy from Nikki Sivils - Just give us a ring or email us Both kits are JAM PACKED with papers and embellishments more than enough for just one LO.

and to prove how hard we worked - Chris (fab Cheesecake maker), Jo and Dawn -

and Mary and June

The third kit we were GIVEN was made up from Jillibean Soup - this was our 'Ready Steady Scrap' kit. Which come with rules - easy enough you have to deign a LO add it to the gallery - 'stick it on the wall' lol and use ONLY what is in the kit no extras although you can use tools.

We had some fabulous LO's - all the papers are double sided and the LO's all look so different. We then got to vote for our favourite LO - we had 3 winners and the photos for this will be posted next time - so come back they are worth a look.

So finally some pictures of US in the glorious sunshine

all CROPPED out

but we did have a fabulous time - if you missed it listen up.......

We started the day at 10 with coffee/tea and treats - well lets be honest coffee/tea and treats were consumed ALL day - its the law isn't it when you are scrapping with a group?

We had 2 class kits one from Sue and one from the incredibly talented Ifa Zainon.

First up was BEE HAPPY - using the gorgeous Willow Bee paper from Nikki Sivils

and a quick peak at all the busy bees!!!
