Women of Purpose Craft Group

If you are in the Narrogin area and would like some casual scrapbooking/craft time with other ladies, our craft group meets every second Monday from 10.15am - 1pm at Narrogin Christian Centre. Click on the flier for dates.


We also are running Saturday night workshops once a month. Our first class is just in time for Mother's Day and we will be making a Journal Jar. This is a decorated journal and jar full of journaling prompts to help you record your life as a keepsake to hand to your children. You could also make it for your mother or father to fill out so you have their history recorded. The concept is you pull out a journaling prompt and glue it to the top of your page and then write what the question asks...for example... 'What is your favourite childhood holiday?' or 'What characteristics and personatily traits did you inherit from your father and mother?'. There are about 100 prompts that get curled into scrolls and placed in the jar. Tis will make a fabulous Mother's Day gift.


For Monthly craft activities and dates click on the below flier.
These classes require bookings. Please either call Amy on 9881 5745 or Gayle on 9881 4126

Yesterday at craft group I was able to complete 3 layouts. I was so keen to scrap after the retreat so just left my stash in the boot for craft group and scrapped my little heart out.



I love this Bible verse (The Message Translation)
Finally got around to scrapping my 30th birthday photos.

Wave Rock Retreat Layouts

Well, once again the retreat was AMAZING! I feel so blessed to be apart of these retreats by Karen at Scrappin' Outback twice a year.

My two classes went well. This retreat I taught 2 single layouts. The first one demonstrated the Cricut Design Studio and the second one was designed by Lynette Caroll and demonstrated layering with chipboard.
Design Studio class...





3D Effects class...




These layouts were from Lis Cassey's classes. Lis designs great layouts for using mulitple photos on a page... (to view them larger, click on the photo)







And this layout is from Sharon Manning's class...


and this layout I did in my spare time...



The next Wave Rock Scrapbooking Retreat will be on the 16th-18th of October 2009...start getting ready as this is Scrappin' Outback's 5th birthday and it's going to be a BIG ONE!

I have 3 more layouts to show you that I did today at craft group but have to wait to photograph them in daylight.
Feels so great to be scrapping again!!!

Not Long Now...

Only one day left til the Wave Rock Retreat! I have been sitting here most of the day cutting out accents on my Cricut for my Cricut Design Studio Class....some of them take quite a while to cut...39 down, 16 to go! I am hoping my mats and blade holds out a bit longer as I am cutting chipboard.
Now I just have to clean up all my mess and pack...and teach CRE and mentoring tomorrow and go to Kerri's baby shower...then I will be ready to go :)
I've been having a lot of headaches lately :( Note to self...take panadol to retreat!

Well if you are reading this mum and the other retreat goers...see you soon! Can't wait!

2 Bright Layouts...

I was browsing the net last night and saw a layout on pencil lines and thought 'OH! I have those papers' so I sat down and scraplifted it...then did another layout with some more of the scraps.

HERE is the layout I was inspired by...and here is mine...

I scrapped ALL day!

I have been desperate to get my Retreat Class done so planned to scrap yesterday and get on top of it all while Murray took the girls to Wagin Woolerama. I have now finished 2 examples of my Layout Class and will hopefully pick up my supplies for my Off the Page Class this week. The Wave Rock Retreat is coming around very fast and I am very excited about teaching and bringing some friends with me from Narrogin and also my Mum again. I cherish these times once every 6 months.

Last night after a full day of scrapping Amy came over and I got one more layout done...here it is...very simple but I like it ;)



And here is a layout I did in Esperance back in January (one of Karen's class layouts). I can now share it as Karen has taught her class.


and here is a whack and slap together layout...lol...gotta have those sometimes!
