Stamp Camp.........................

Two or three times each term a group of us gather together for a scrapping night which usually revolves around a Kaszazz workshop. This past weekend a couple of us joined the Kaszazz stamp camp at Riverwood Downs. It was a fabulous weekend of uninterrupted scrapping with a variety of challenges on offer it you were so inclined. I decided to participate in 2 of the challenges. The first involved a challenge pack and this was the result:

The second was more open with the criteria being: Kaszazza products and altered chipboard. Fortunately I had taken along my Vietnam holiday to scrap and had an appropriate photo to match some Kaszazz papers, and the result:

Whilst in Vietnam we attended the ex-pats Anzac Day ceremony at the Intercontinental Hotel in Ho Chi Min City. To alter the chipboard I first inked, then stamped and then applied Dimensional Magic;

I had a successful weekend in the challenges with this one winning it's section and a second in the challenge pack competition.

Looking forward to next year's camp already............................

And the Theme .....................................

for September over at Love Scrappin is VINTAGE!!! Head on over to the Love Scrappin blog and check out my tutorial on creating a vintage banner as an embellishment for a layout. And my vintage inspired layout:

Was up early for soccer this morning, so I'm heading off for a little nanna nap. Hopefully I'll feel a bit more like scrapping after that.

Finally...............................

I feel like I have had a weekend after months of my weekends disappearing into nothingness or being consumed by "must do" activities, and surprisingly my mojo has returned. I have been finding scrapping difficult lately, too many other things to think about, but this past week I got back to my old habit of planning layouts in my head and gathering supplies. Then yesterday when I sat down to scrap it just all fell into place ~ easily ~ just like it did before the craziness began.
And the result of my efforts ~ my Scrap Pile August DT layouts:

And, just quietly, I am very happy with the results. Anyhow, back to work tomorrow, so it's off to bed for me.

Hello World.............................

I'm back!!!!! Yes it has been almost a month, but I have a good excuse ~ moving and no internet. The move went relatively smoothly, but was totally exhausting. We totally packed up one house, moved and completely unpacked in 8 days. I then had 3 days of my holiday left, but most of that time was spent pottering and organising.
On the scrapping front, I only managed my Scrap Pile DT layouts as it was way too difficult to scrap from boxes and the boxes had to be packed. I had the pleasure of working with the gorgeous 7 Gypsies Avignon range and couldn't help but add Prima goodness:

Tammy has settled in well and provides us with plenty of laughs. Think she will also become a fav scrapping topic too :)

That's all for now, boy it's good to be back................................

Cheers.............................Leanne
