Scrap Therapy Clayton's Retreat...Kraft It Up & an Inspirational...............

This one I did to showcase the gorgeous textured cardstock from Core'dinations with textures from Cosmo Cricket. I am in love with the textures!! This one is from the Jillybean range. Lee-anne at Scrap Therapy has more ordered so keep an eye out.

This one is for the May Kraft It Up Challenge blog. It's all about making your own background patterned paper. I scraped it in as the deadline closes very soon.

And for the Clayton's Retreat at Scrap Therapy, Jodi set a challenge to make our own name badge.

This is what I did for mine.........................

And the gorgeous Deb, one of the Big Sisters, set a monochromatic challenge. Loved this one.........
So that's it for this weekend.

Trying to get over the flu, which I think I am at the tail end of it now. The whole household has been sick for the past week except my son, who is the one who runs around with no shoes, wearing shorts and t-shirts in winter and no singlets or jumpers. So I don't know why he didn't get it.

Anyway, the girls are winding up their fun on the Scrap Therapy Retreat in Cairns.

I am sooo jealous that I didn't get to go. But as you can see from my little ticker at the top of my blog, I am going on a mini retreat to Bendigo in August and it's my first ever!!!! So I am super excited about that. I will get to meet some online friends for the first time IRL!! And some who I've met before, which is just as exciting!

Hope you all have a great rest of the weekend.

Happy Creating!!!

Clayton's Retreat at Scrap Therapy......................

Well, the cat is away at the annual Scrap Therapy Retreat!!!

Check out what the mice are up to!!

We didn't want the girls on Retreat to have all the fun, so we're having a retreat too! A Clayton's one! You know, a retreat when you aren't really on retreat!!

Some challenges are up now and keep an eye out for something over the weekend when we know the cat is definitely in retreat mode and can't monitor what we are doing!!! ;o)

Some Layouts........................

Here is a layout, just because I looooved these October Afternoon papers and was dying to use them and I also loved these pics of Tana...................................

This is the end result of my Blind Scrap at Scrap Therapy Friday night gone......................

My entry for Scrap The Girls for this month ..............................................

A DT sample for Scrap Therapy's Monthly Inspiration Challenge last month...................

Well it's been a beautiful day here and I've been outside playing with the kids most of the day. Last week was a busy working week, working every day when I only work 1-2 days. I'm still exhausted from it, but I'll catch up eventually.

Enjoy the rest of your weekend and have a great week!!

Cosmo Crickets NSD challenges........................

Cosmo Cricket were celebrating the NSD with some fantastic creations and some challenges.

I thought I would join in on the challenges.

This first one is the colour challenge of using bright colours, red, green, yellow and white. I came up with this using the Early Bird line...........................

And this one was for the sketch challenge. I looooove these papers. They are called Earth Love and they are so yummy and earthy tones (which I love) and the blackboard chip flower vine is also Cosmo...............................
Thanks for looking!

Have a great week!!
