I crashed a retreat.........

Wow! What a weekend I have had!!!!

On Saturday I crashed a retreat for the day and met so many lovely girls. I got to see Marelle and Eb again and I finally got to meet this gorgeous funny girl......................

I arrived about 11am and had plans on leaving about 10pm, BUT I left about 1.30am!!!!
AND I scrapped!!! 4 and 1/2 layouts!!! Quite surprising for me. So this day was really productive.
There were laughter and tears, lots of new ideas, new techniques seen and lots of inspiration was just oozing around the room. All the girls were just lovely and made me feel so welcome. Thanks Mal for squeezing me in for the day!!

 Here is the first page I did there called 'The Crew' using Echo Park.....................


And this one 'Gramma' was from a sketch at the retreat using Authentique & Studio Calico........................


'Ultimate Slalom Spray' was a blind scrap and I used a mix of a Polly Scrap kit which I loved.................



And when I got home I was so inspired by what I'd done and being around all those very talented women that I kept creating.
This one is for Scrap The Girls for April.................................


When I got home at around 2am, Montana was crying and running a temp of 41.3, while hubby was snoring. So thankfully I got home when I did. But I ended up sitting up until 4.45am waiting for her temp to come down.

So a very exhausting weekend, but oh so worth it!!!!

I am definitely going next year!!
