I had a great time at the scrapbooking retreat this past weekend. I completed 21 pages and altered a card box. As always I would have liked to accomplished more but overall I'm pleased. I scrapbooked pics of the girls birthday party making separate layouts for both girls scrapbooks. I must say I was most pleased with this accomplishment.
I made this layout using new paper from Moxie that Cathy brought to the retreat. I'm sure you recognize the pics from a previous blog that you can see
here. I need to tell you how I created it because I altered the paper to get the flourishes to go the way I wanted. The right side I cut the paper in thirds and taped it back together.
I also made this one page from the same collection.
On this one I popped the hat and rope by cutting it out of the paper and layering it on the other. I then used glossy accents on the rope and bling for the hat. You can click on the picture for a closer look or better yet, head on down to
Cat's Creations where you will find these on display in the store. Speaking of Cat's its

These are gorgeous! I really like the hat with the "rope" on the second layout. 21 pages and an altered card box? You were certainly more productive than most at the retreat! Congrats.
