What a wonderful weekend!

The sun shone on Scrapbags (aka SCOFFbags) for a wonderful weekend of scrapping, chatting, laughing and not a little eating during our Spring 2012 Retreat.

We were very well looked after by the lovely staff of the Bobsleigh Hotel in Bovingdon - some might say too well looked after .........

Now, I could put up the VERY candid photos that ensued as we tucked into these scrumptious clotted cream scones, but I'm not going to............yet!  Be warned!!!!

Here we are enjoying the first of many coffee and lunch breaks taken in the glorious sunshine.

 

We did scrap in between the meal breaks (honest) from dawn to well past dusk

Here's our first class LO which involved lots of sewing

This class involved distressing cardboard and painting

You can see the Ready Steady Scrap Challenge entries in the slideshow above, but here are the winners with their layouts.

Don't ask!

As usual the weekend wwas not long enough, and I have promised a week-long retreat.  I just  haven't said when (it's going to be a looooonnnnnng time).

Only 5 months to wait for our next retreat. Yippe!!!!!!!!

Happy Mother's Day

I hope that everyone is having a lovely day being spoiled and pampered, and that you are recovering from a great day's scrapping yesterday, or looking forward to a wonderful weekend scrapping to come, or both!

Here's yesterday's LO, a femine page for Mother's Day weekend, using the last of our Alla Prima papers

I've used a photo of my mother for our retreat 2-Way Kit next weekend, it's a direct copy of a  StampinUp deisgn shown in their summer catalogue

Thank you to Chris for supplying the lovely StampinUp supplies. There's plenty more in the kit pack, enough for at least 2 more layouts and I'm soooo looking forward to seeing what everyone does with them - I'll upload a slideshow to share.

So, enjoy your day ladies and I'll see you all very soon, some of you in just 5 days!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Happy Scrapping

June
