At our recent retreat we provided a challenge pack… and the feedback was GREAT! Everyone really loved the papers in the pack and there were some amazing layout and cards created over the weekend.
The winner of the challenge pack was Gwenda with this stunning layout:

The month of October is really flying by but there’s still a couple of weeks left to enter the October Challenge.
We've got a cool challenge for you this month! You'll need photos for your layout but there's a catch... we don't want to see any faces! That's right... this month the challenge is to use one of the sketches provided and do a 'faceless' layout.
Of course you could do a layout that doesn't have an actual person in it... maybe a layout about your garden etc. But what about challenging yourself to create a layout featuring photos taken from behind someone... or of their hands... or maybe even their toes!
Our Guest Designer Erin created this layout (using one of the sketches in the October gallery) focussed on her grandchildren watching a ‘scary’ movie on TV:
Thanks for being our Guest Designer Erin!
On the weekend I finally got some creative time to get a layout done… this one focussed on my niece and her ‘static’ hair from jumping on the trampoline:
I love this photo of her… thank goodness my sister had her camera handy!
So now it's YOUR turn! Create your layout using 'faceless' photos and upload it into the October gallery by Midnight 31st October and it could be you who wins the $20 shop voucher (excludes Magnolia Stamps) and the opportunity to be the Guest Designer for December!
Why not give it a go? We’d love to see YOUR layouts!!
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!
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:
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:
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!
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! %5B3%5D.jpg "Layout class 1 (2)")
We’ve got 3 spaces left so if you’re thinking about coming then get in touch via email :)

The winner is Tricia with this gorgeous layout!
Congratulations Tricia!
