Tinseltown!

Hollywood came to Eastbourne for this year's retreat. The theme naturally brought out the glamorous nature of us scrappers!

As usual of course there was shopping. There were challenges. There was a film quiz. There was a shocking lack of any film knowledge and there was fancy dress. We even managed to scrap a few layouts. My total this year is nine complete layouts although Sandra maintains one doesn’t count since it has been a work in progress through 2 Saturday crops and one whole retreat. I have taken the art of faffing to new and giddying heights!

So my first layout is the one which took the longest but is actually an almost direct scraplift of a gorgeous layout by Ali. Thank you Ali xx

Most of my other layout use page maps from magazines long ago torn up and filed in my inspiration folder. My challenge layout – one based on a story board:

A double layout from a single layout page map:

A Challenge layout based on the Breakfast At Tiffany’s movie poster:

A Special Day:                   

The "Speed Scrap" Challenge.
Think pass the parcel meets scrapbooking - 2 minutes to add an element and pass it on:

The resulting layouts were all gorgeous - just a photo and a title to add later.


And finally, the Mystery Kit Challenge:

The papers in this year's kit were from the Simple Stories "Say Cheese" range and worked very well with some colourful birthday photos.
