What's goin' on...

You're probably wondering what the heck is going on around here....well there's too much to explain in one post but I thought I would share a few things.

Firstly, our March retreat is full steam ahead - hence one reason I am not posting often (very busy getting it organised) - and applications are rolling in. You can see the tutors sneak peaks on their blogs, Lis and Sharon that is, Gayle wont be with us this time...boo hoo...but we do have a new tutor...YAY! I would like to introduce you to Lynne Herbert, our local primary school Principal who happens to be multi talented. Lynne will be sharing her card making passion with us at the retreat. You can see her work on her blog which is http://leighsobsession.blogspot.com/ This woman is one clever gal and I am very excited to have her on board...warning Lynne...this wont be your last time!

If you ha vent received a retreat application then email me at scrappinoutback@bigpond.com If you have applied and havent received class requirements then also email me and I will get them to you. I am frantically getting class kit pre-order forms ready to send out as well.
I recently taught classes at Newdegate and as usual had a ball with those genuine 'salt-of-the-earth' gals who are so enthusiastic and fun. They power scrapped their way through at least 6 layouts each! Here are some of the layouts we did. Firstly my Valentines layout for this year - Matt and I about 10 years ago...
and my school portrait layout for 2009 (this years school photos are next week so I had to get on with last years!) using October Afternoon 'Report Card'...
and lastly a couple of quick and easy layouts using 6 x 4 photos. I get asked all the time for layouts using standard size photos so I've been making an effort to do plenty of these...
Be back with more soon...
