Back in mid March, I hosted the first Storyboard Kits retreat, and we had an absolute ball. I was joined by 35 ladies at The Tops conference centre for a weekend full of scrapbooking fun! Good company, good food and lots of inspiration...
I'm gearing up to announce next year's retreat, and release a new kit...but before I do that, I thought I'd share the layouts I created using the Storyboard Kits retreat goodie bag! Each retreater received an exclusive Storyboard Kit and I kept one for myself to play with...I needn't have packed any other product! These 6 layouts came from the one kit, and there was still product left over...
Here's Rach and I, having a bit of fun with the photo props at last year's Scrapbooking Delights retreat...
Belinda and I at the same retreat last year, sporting matching braided hair thanks to Rach...
My mum...62 years old and still beautiful. Note the chevron background, using WOW's new chevron AltaMATZ and yellow mist.
My scrapping friends...Renee, Sandra, Kim, Chrissy and Belinda...out the front of Scrapbooking Delights, having a quick break from scrapping all day long! My love of banners isn't waning at all!
Andrew's Nanna...I love this photo of her taken at my b.i.l's wedding last November. The ladies at the nursing home fixed her hair specially, and drove her down to Wollongong for her to witness the ceremony. She was so happy...I miss her.
Lastly, my layout for the sketch challenge...also featuring some WOW mini scallop frames. This is the first time we took Seth to the Easter Show, and he had such much fun in the animal nursery. We wasn't so much patting the sheep, as whacking them! lol.
Yes, each of the layouts above came from the one kit! Storyboard Kits are chock full of patterned papers and products, so that each of your layouts can have it's own identity. I love that the colours in each one are so different.
This week I'll be releasing a new kit named "Morgan", so keep an eye out for that one, as well as some class kits left over from the retreat, PLUS the details for next year's retreat! Thank you to all of the ladies who made my first retreat so enjoyable and such a success. Mark your calendars...22-24 March 2013!
Have you been to a scrapbook retreat before? What do you enjoy the most about your weekend away?
