SCRAPPIN' AT THE ROCK
With the Shop now up and running, Marg is able to cater for mini retreats more often, rather than a couple of large camps twice a year. This means there are more times available for you to choose to attend a Scrapping Retreat at Country Papercraft.
Marg has dates available, so why not grab a group of friends, and chose a date that suits you and scrap for the whole weekend. Any one who attends one of the scrap retreats always come away learning something new, making new friends, and having a whole lot of fun.

Quote Challenge
Quotes are a great source of inspiration, and also an important part of scrapbooking - they can say so much about a layout, a feeling, a moment in time. Deb will each month be challenging us all to use a particular quote in our scrapbooking. Even, if at this time you are unable to scrap with the quote, make sure you write them down for a time when inspiration strikes.
This month's quote is:
'When you get into a tight place and everything goes against you, till
it seems as though you could not hang on a minute longer, never give up
then, for that is just the place and time that the tide will turn.'
- Harriet Beecher Stowe

BLOG SKETCHES
Have you discovered the "Weekly Sketches" on the blog yet? Each Tuesday one of the Designers will have a new sketch on the blog. Just something to give you a little inspiration to scrap.
|
Take a cup of this - a pinch of that!
This month the Designer's had to follow the recipe below to create a layout:
Use at least 3 of any of these 6 items on a layout:
1. Use something French.
2. Use six embellishments in a row.
3. Use blue, yellow, and white.
4. Use zig zag (doodling, stitching, etc.).
5. Use three patterned papers.
6. Use one photo.
We Look forward to seeing your creations using this recipe. Remember to share your creations in the Gallery.
