if you build it, they will come

i am absolutely LOVING my new scrap space

(almost as much as mr scrappy is loving his man cave!)

in the week since i've had this new space, i've been scrapping up a storm

a couple of [challenge] layouts for a blog i follow

a 2012 layout MEME that finally got finished

another UFO of the layout variety that had been sitting around for faaaaar too long!

so looking forward to scrapping more photos from my 50th

and a couple of washi tape cards

as you can see, once i hit on an idea, i like to run with it!

fun and easy to make

a 'right now' layout

(if right now is this time last year!)

ahem.....

another washi tape card

and speaking of washi - how you like my new washi tape storage 'facility'

a $3 fruit bowl found at a local thrift shop

chucked it in the dishwasher - and VOILA!!!

the next layouts are from my recent weekend scrapbooking retreat AUTUMN ESCAPE

so many good things to say about the whole weekend

the love, care and attention to detail from the TEAM that goes into putting on this amazing weekend

the talent

the overseas tutors

the CLASS KITS!!!

this double page layout was from a JENNI BOWLIN class

as a fellow 'clean scrapper' - i LOVED her classes!

this was for the crazy monday sketch challenge at autumn escape

i'm actually quite enjoying journalling the story behind the photos a couple of years down the track (as is the case in the layout above).  photos from winter 2011.

of course you come home with as many UFOs as classes you attended, but i'm getting there!!!
