Very Long Time No Post!!!Seeing my last post was back in December last year, I should fill you all in on what I have been doing ...<br /><br />I had a very slow start to the beginning of the year where my scrapping virtually went out the window. I thought that my mojo had completely vanished and it got to the stage where if I did scrap, it was a bit of a "chore".<br /><br />Then March came and it suddenly came back to me and my creativity was given a very short, sharp kick up the behind and since then I have been slowly getting back into my scrapping.<br /><br />Last month was an "O for Awesome" month for two reasons. The first one being that Taylah, Christopher and David came to Gundagai for a visit. The second was because Jan and I packed up our kits and headed over the Tasman Sea to the "Land of the Long White Cloud", where we had an absolutely fabulous time touring around the north island. We finished our little escapade with a Luxury Weekend Scrapbooking Retreat at Lake Taupo ... stay tuned for NZ and WA layouts later during the year.<br /><br />Now for some layouts ...<br /><br />The following are just some of the layouts I have completed over the past couple of months for different challenges. Also making an appearance is some of the layouts from the NZ Retreat.<br /><br /><strong>Chookscraps:</strong><br />Chookscraps (<a href="http://www.chookscraps.com.au/">http://www.chookscraps.com.au/</a>) have a competition going at the moment called Masterchook 2010, which is based on the Masterchef series. So far, I have completed 4 rounds and these are some of the layouts that I have done:<br /><p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWegRhyphenhyphenTSYAZ69QasfLAUpIduwB5JzLTP8C6e-PBgOd38NnOXZXIOnZ7qBxQ6DrohRnkU4zroNAm0AahZpjCh-mYUlhBkwAVAtu1UEcTiTitCdglN5SoFRrO9DcAocw-ztvLnsGZfNM60/s1600/Masterchef.JPG"><img style="WIDTH: 318px; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5466554831991883810" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWegRhyphenhyphenTSYAZ69QasfLAUpIduwB5JzLTP8C6e-PBgOd38NnOXZXIOnZ7qBxQ6DrohRnkU4zroNAm0AahZpjCh-mYUlhBkwAVAtu1UEcTiTitCdglN5SoFRrO9DcAocw-ztvLnsGZfNM60/s320/Masterchef.JPG" /></a> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjA7jalFLiSM-QLtwEUtG-u3r4QJ6vanhv0CbMTyfN35tRZfIxpOaQJ0BAl61qoec7pjA8uqrZoLGbfp_ms9ssGrO9ZdWSseHWLVldUZiNuneCgDMOvxgT__Z4N8UnZKYG8QomvAnoXRFA/s1600/my+dad.JPG"><img style="WIDTH: 320px; HEIGHT: 318px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5466555246272727266" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjA7jalFLiSM-QLtwEUtG-u3r4QJ6vanhv0CbMTyfN35tRZfIxpOaQJ0BAl61qoec7pjA8uqrZoLGbfp_ms9ssGrO9ZdWSseHWLVldUZiNuneCgDMOvxgT__Z4N8UnZKYG8QomvAnoXRFA/s320/my+dad.JPG" /></a></p>Whilst away in NZ, Chookscraps also had their cybercrop.

"WOW"!! Jan and I were both blown away with this retreat. There were 120 scrappers, loads of yummy goodies, absolutely fabulous classes, fantastic food and just so much fun to be had. I would love to give big thanks to all the organisers, the sponsors and tutors who ran the most amazing classes and all round tops weekend!!

That is what happened to my mum last weekend when she got picked up by my dad, my brother, my niece and nephew. She had no idea that they were coming and was completely bowled over. "Why the surprise visit?" I hear you say. A certain mother just turned 60 and had an awesome weekend celebrating with family and friends. Happy birthday mum! I hope you enjoyed every moment of your 60th!<br /><br />Don't forget, if you are looking for a scrapping challenge, check out Just 4 Fun.

Why not head over to Chookscraps and join in the Crop In! Make a donation and join in some, chat, fun and scrapping of course. Lorraine has organised some excellent prizes for the auction and all funds raised will be donated to the Cancer Council. Click on the website to head on over to Chooks and I will see you there (<a href="http://www.chookscraps.com.au/">www.chookscraps.com.au</a>).Wendyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01667204785119052944noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4078382822173676009.post-18229986716127898522009-10-10T02:56:00.000-07:002009-10-10T02:59:41.093-07:00Scrapbooking Retreat LayoutsFinally, my tote turned up today, so I spent the day photographing and uploading layouts that I scrapped at this year's Chookscraps Retreat.

That means that Chookscraps September Retreat is slowly creeping up. I am now busily making my kits and deciding on what photos I will be taking with me to scrap. I am also looking forward to a family visit (including Christopher and Taylah) to Gundagai. I will have the camera surgically attached to my hand while they are here.

If you are interested and around the Gundagai area, it starts at 7 pm, down at the services club! I believe there are a few spare tables left. Cost is $10.

The really good thing about this term is that it is a short term (for Jan and I anyway) and there is a little bonus at the end of the term - we are off to Perth for the Chookscraps Retreat!<br /><br />I have made a little slideshow of some layouts that I have completed while I have been on holidays. Some of them are some classes that are available on Anna's Craft Cupboard blog. Others have been for challenges and cybercrops. I also did a quick scraplift using the new Kaisercraft Loire Valley range of patterned papers - I just couldn't resist it!<br /><br /><div><embed src="http://widget-a7.slide.com/widgets/slideticker.swf" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" quality="high" scale="noscale" salign="l" wmode="transparent" flashvars="cy=bb&il=1&channel=3242591731731520679&site=widget-a7.slide.com" style="width:400px;height:320px" name="flashticker" align="middle"></embed><div style="width:400px;text-align:left;"><a href="http://www.slide.com/pivot?cy=bb&at=un&id=3242591731731520679&map=1" target="_blank"><img src="http://widget-a7.slide.com/p1/3242591731731520679/bb_t000_v000_s0un_f00/images/xslide1.gif" border="0" ismap="ismap" /></a> <a href="http://www.slide.com/pivot?cy=bb&at=un&id=3242591731731520679&map=2" target="_blank"><img src="http://widget-a7.slide.com/p2/3242591731731520679/bb_t000_v000_s0un_f00/images/xslide2.gif" border="0" ismap="ismap" /></a> <a href="http://www.slide.com/pivot?cy=bb&at=un&id=3242591731731520679&map=F" target="_blank"><img src="http://widget-a7.slide.com/p4/3242591731731520679/bb_t000_v000_s0un_f00/images/xslide42.gif" border="0" ismap="ismap" /></a></div></div>Wendyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01667204785119052944noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4078382822173676009.post-79770256328035182862009-07-18T18:14:00.001-07:002009-07-18T18:33:51.133-07:00A Weekend Full of Scrapping and Chatting!It was certainly a great weekend of scrapping over at Chooks.
