Wave Rock Retreat Layouts

I just had an awesome weekend away with 60 other keen scrappers. It was Scrappin' Outback's 5th birthday and 9th retreat and had a jam packed weekend full of scrapping, laughs and great food with heap of wonderful women.
Amy and I travelled up early Friday morning thinking we would be one of the first to arrive, but at 9am the place was already filling fast with some ladies already scrapbooking and others grabbing some stock before anyone else got in there first ;) Hopefully I can add some photos of the hall and shop to this post once Sharon gets back and emails me some..hint hint :)

I taught my 'Paper Embellishments' class on Friday arvo...
Feminine version using Crate Paper 'Lilian' collection


Boy version using Crate Paper 'Orbit'


On saturday arvo I taught my 'Those Things we Do' class...
Feminine version using Cosmo Cricket 'Early Bird'
I had a few ladies ask me what the font in the journalling was...you can download it HERE


Girl Version using Cosmo Cricket 'Girl Friday'

Masculine/Boy version using Cosmo Cricket 'The Boyfriend'
and Sunday arvo was my 'Power Scrapping' class which is where they scrapped 5 easy layouts in 2 hours.
Using October Afternoon 'Cherry Hill' collection




I was able to get some other layouts done too. This one is from Lis Cassey's 'Celebrate' class but I changed it to bush walking and used the gorgeous Cosmo Cricket 'Earth Love' collection...


Ashlee dressed as a clown for school...


The girls in Esperance on the holidays...
And at the Parker's farm about the bridge Tom build...
I ran out of photos by Saturday afternoon so Karen announced that I would scrap other peoples photos for $15 a page to go towards cancer research...that raised $45 yay!
It was such a lovely weekend and I loved meeting so many new ladies..hopefully we can get to know each other even better at future retreats :)

Hi Gayle
Thanks again for your wonderful inspiration. I am hoping to get lots more scrapping done using your "Power Scrapping" formula with lots of other papers. Remember if you need a "boy" challenge I always have photos LOL.
Thanks again.

I'm still recovering - but you are not going to be happy with me cause I accidentally deleted the photos I took of the hall and the ladies with my projects! Not happy Jan! Sorry. :-( It was a great weekend of creativity and laughs, I had a ball.
Look forward to seeing you in March '10.
