Greetings!
Well, over here in the west it feels like winter has finally arrived. It was so cold this morning, perfect excuse for snuggling up inside and scrapbooking!
Marg is busy with another weekend retreat at the shop this weekend, those Barracks are certainly being well used.
What a perfect place to head off with a group of friends for the weekend. Any excuse will do. Contact Marg for availability.
We have had a few minor technical difficulties this week with the gallery, we apologise for the inconvenience. But we are glad to say that everything is running smoothly now.
Don't forget to get your layouts uploaded into the correct gallery to be in the draw for the voucher at the end of the month. Also don't forget the Category Stories challenge as featured in the last newsletter.
cheers,

Lee has challenged us this month to create a layout using Liquid! Get
out the Glimmermist, or go creative with a paint & water mix or
liquid
inks, even diluted coffee or another non-scrap supply item! Think
squirted,
flicked, eye dropped, stained, dyed, aged, WHATEVER! Tell us what you
do!
Rach placed a doily on her white cardstock, then squirted it with Cherry Apple Red Glimmermist, to created a pattern of the doily once it was removed. She then used the doily as an embellishment on the layout below.  Now it is your turn to take on this challenge. Don't forget to upload your layout into the challenge section of the gallery to go into the draw to win a gift voucher at the end of the month.
