The Retreat was AWESOME!!

Last weekend we were all at the Bugs & Butterflies Scrap Retreat at Waihi Beach… and it was fantastic!

If you can imagine a whole room of ladies with all their scrapping supplies, classes, GREAT food, leisurely shopping and browsing then you’ll have some idea of what it was like :)

And if not… then here’s some photos taken during the weekend:

Thank you to all the awesome ladies who attended the retreat… you can be sure that there will be another retreat in the future!

September Challenge

Hi everyone :)

Our latest newsletter went out via email tonight so keep an eye out for it.  Our household has been thinking about the residents of Christchurch quite frequently since the earthquakes began on Saturday morning as the girls uncle and cousins live down there.  Thankfully we’ve been able to catch up via phone so at least we know they’re all safe!  If you’ve been hit by the earthquakes and the after shocks, our thoughts are with you.

The August challenge was a 1, 2, 3 challenge… 1 photo, 2 pieces of paper & 3 embellishments!

We had some great entries and everyone really made use of their double sided papers.  The draw was done last week and the winner is Erin with this gorgeous layout featuring paper weaving and embellishments chosen to reflect the bridesmaid’s outfit: Congratulations Erin!!!  You have won a $20 voucher to spend in the shop as well as the opportunity to be our Guest Designer for October!

And now onto the September challenge… this month Tricia is our Guest Designer and she’s come up with a “LOVEly” theme… all you have to do is create a layout using hearts!

Here’s Tricia’s layout that she created for us: I love all the patterned paper and the large stitched heart really brings the whole layout together!  Thanks Tricia for being our Guest Designer :)

So now it’s YOUR turn!  Create a layout featuring hearts and upload it into the September gallery by Midnight 30th September and it could be you who wins the $20 shop voucher (excludes Magnolia stamps) and the opportunity to be the Guest Designer for November!

Only 24 more days to go!!

Wow!  The time is really ticking along and there’s only 24 more days to go until the Bugs & Butterflies Scrap Retreat!

We’ve got an awesome weekend lined up for you!  Today we’ve got the first of our sneak peeks…. it’s one of our layout classes!  In this class we’re going to be using the same papers to complete two layouts!  There’s loads of techniques included in this class too!!

We’ve got 3 spaces left so if you’re thinking about coming then get in touch via email :)
