We've just returned from another fantastic weekend retreat of scrapbooking and cardmaking at Castlereagh Academy.


Our ladies had a fabulous time scrapping the days away...sharing wonderful scones at morning tea or a cuppa on the veranda and Nikki gave us wonderful massages on Saturday afternoon.


We were lucky to have a table to ourselves (great when we can get it) to spread out a make as much mess as we wanted.

Our beds were extremely comfortable...and...we had a couple of marathon efforts...an almost allnighter (5.20am) for  Lisa and Di on Friday night. The rest of us asleep and snoring by about 2.30am! And then another late night for Lisa and Kellie on Saturday night.
Well done ladies!

Congratulations to Dianna and Robyn for winning our Scrap Pack Challenge...once again a hard one to judge...there were so many entries and they were all great!!                 
As always classes were fun and everybody loved the new techniques...
Scrappy gave out awesome prizes and as always kept everybody happy...and busy...he kept getting handmade "paper" clothes every stop he had (by the end of the weekend he had become a she with the cute dress, apron, headband and ribbons he/she was wearing)...how confusing!


We made new friends and caught up with those we hadn't seen in awhile and all in all we came away feeling wonderful that we had a great time away. Now...we can't wait till the June retreat...

We have just got in the wonderful Smooch Spritz from Clearsnap...and we are loving it!! A bit like Glimmermist but more shimmering and a fraction thicker it dries quickly and looks fabulous!

Check out this great video from Canada that we found. They show how you can use the spritz to make a vintage tag and also a title on a scrapbook layout.

We have got in a range of colour's so ask us about Smooch Spritz next time you are in class...
