A fabulous Graphic 45 Retreat

I Love the picture above of everyone with their albums and Armoires. What a weekend we had crafting away with the gorgeous Graphic 45 papers.  I'm a little sad that it was the last retreat of the year but really enjoyed our three days together.  Huge thanks to the lovely Sandra at Jones Crafts for all her help and support in getting all the paper pads to me for the kits and Ladies thank you soooooo much for coming along and joining in the crafty mayhem. We really did have a great time.  Crafting started last Friday with a choice of two projects, a Christmas themed Shadow Box or a Cats and Dogs Stationery box.  Here they are coming together 


 
 After a crafty Friday eve we moved onto our two day projects, an Eerie Tale Armoire and mini album or my new 'Twas the Night Before Christmas Album.  We got through 5 litres of paint, I don t know how many paper pads, rolls of tape and glue and had an absolute ball.  Here's some more pics of the very crafty bees, and finished projects

  2. Good afternoon Clare, I'm just taking a quick time-out having just made our Christmas cake. All I have to do now is clear up (hate that bit!) and try not to peak at it for the next four and a half hours. Love the photos of your latest retreat. As always everyone looks as if they had a great time. I'm really looking forward to your Workshop here in South Yorkshire on Sunday and meeting my fellow G45ers. Take care

IndigoBlu Tags  Happy Friday everyone If your a follower of mine you 'll know that I've been off work for a while following an op, but my life as a lady of leisure came to an end this week when I returned to the world of totally british beautiful fast fast cars and ones that go anywhere!!  I had a wonderful welcome back from my colleagues so thanks to everyone for making my first day as good as it was.  I thought I'd feel like the new girl, not able to remember anything, but just like riding a bike it all came flooding back :-) Now I feel like I've not been away lol!!!    I cant deny I'm not pleased its the weekend and I've got time to re charge my batteries before attempting another 5 days on the trot :-)  As I've just joined the IndigoBlu team official this week I thought I'd share a couple of tags with you made with stamps from the  Pomp and Pageantry and Grand Tour 1 plates and the ledger background which I really love.  Tag 1 IndigoBlu
