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.

April Showers

Although I'm getting fed up with all this rain it is the perfect excuse to stay in and scrap, or in my case, stay in and think about scrapping.  Here's April's class layout.



It's a little different to my normal effort and was worried that the Scrapbags might not like it too much, but it seemed to go down well.  

Bye for now

Mummy's Ladies

Anna struggles to say Scrapbags, so calls our group "Mummy's Ladies", and here are some of us at our Spring Retreat last month.




I love this LO using the papers from the retreat kit, but sadly cannot claim the design as it is a scraplift.  Good old Pinterest.

I've been on a mission to use up the papers and have also managed these two LOs - sorry girls, it had to be done!

The first is another scraplift, of Stacey Cohen's So Happy Together in March's Creating Keepsakes magazine.





And the second is inspired by Wendy McKee's Family in April's Scrap 365 Magazine. 



I have added 3 sheets of cardstock, a few brads and some buttons, but the papers are going a lonnnnng way.  I still have a whole sheet of paper left over for which I have a plan (my own design this time), and then I can start the Lo for our Summer retreat kit.  The papers are here already and are DIVINE!!!!!

It's out April crop next week (21st) and i can promise a fab day out with tons of chat, cake, coffee & inspiration, just no scones!!!
