The Girls

Welcome to the Scrapbags Blog

We are a very friendly group of scrappers who meet each month in Hertford. We chat, scrap, share ideas and techniques and generally have a great crop which usually flies by far too quickly.

We love to meet fellow scrappers so please feel free to stop by and meet us (dates & location to the right), or if you'd like more details please drop me a line at scrapbags@ntlworld.com.

Wow What a Wonderful Weekend



Scrapbags descended on London Colney for our second retreat last weekend and we had a wonderful time. Thank you to every one who joined us at the retreat and thank you also to Lorraine for teaching us three fabulous classes as well as bringing her shop along.


Thank you also to everyone who joined in our Mystery Kit challenge and well done to Aisling, our winner. You can see all the layouts below, and I've added other photos of the weekend to the slide show at the right of the page. If anyone would like to add their photos please email them to me and I will upload them. If any Scrapbags would like to downlad or print any of the photos please feel free.


Remember not to feel too glum - we have our next retreat to look forward to in September. I'll be sending out the details and booking forms later this week, but in the mean time we have our next crop on the 18th April (I'll upload class kit details soon), and on 20th June we will have our 12 hour crop to look forward to, so please check back here for details.


See you all very soon.


Happy Scrapping

March Class Kit




Here's a peek at next week's class kit. We'll be using papers from the Dream Street Mairzy Doats collection and you'll be needing your scissors for some serious cutting out. I've used one 7"x5" landscape photo, but the size is flexible and you could use 2 smaller portrait photos.



Please drop me a line if you'd like to come along and haven't yet booked (scrapbags@ntlworld.com).


See you all soon.


Happy Scrapping!

Oops!



Well I promised to upload all of the Scrapbags' February class layouts, but as the sugar coating took soooooooo long to dry, I didn't get any photos of completed LOs on the day.

Here's Jan's page which she completed on Sunday at the Scrap Revolution Crop (better late than never!).
I've been so busy organising our Spring Retreat that I'd quite neglected our March Crop which is fast approaching. We still have quite a few places available so please drop me a line if you'd like to book, or for more info. I haven't quite decided on our March class kit, and will be uploading a preview over the next few days.
I'll also be sending out class previews and booking forms for the Spring Retreat so be sure to check your inboxes over the coming week.
Happy Scrapping
