Hello ladies....our retreat for 2016 has been booked at lovely Lake Ainsworth Sport and Recreation Centre, Lennox Head again for the weekend of October 28 to October 30.

 

A view of beautiful Lake Ainsworth

 

I would love for you to join us for a fun-filled weekend of sharing, inspiration, laughter and some “me time” with like-minded ladies.
Although we are essentially a paper-crafting group, crafters from all walks of life are more than welcome to attend.

 

WHERE: Lake Ainsworth Sport and Recreation Centre located on the shores of beautiful Lake Ainsworth, Lennox Head in northern NSW, and just over the sand dunes from beautiful Lennox Head beach.

PLEASE NOTE: The retreat will be held in the “Boat Shed” Conference Room overlooking Lake Ainsworth. There is no disabled access to this area and access is available only up 2 flights of stairs (approximately 20 stairs)

 

WHEN: 4 pm, Friday, October 28 to 2 pm, Sunday, October 30, 2016
(Please note, all times are stated in NSW time)

 

COST: $285.00 - includes your accommodation in clean, tidy and comfortable shared rooms with single beds (some rooms may have bunks);
all meals including morning and afternoon tea;
2 classes (3 projects) – one class will be taught by Kelly Oosterbeek, a tutor at this year’s Brisbane Scrapbook and Papercraft expo;
product and technique demonstrations;
goodie bag on arrival.  

BOOKINGS ARE ESSENTIAL AND A NON-REFUNDABLE DEPOSIT of $50.00 MUST BE MADE AS SOON AS POSSIBLE

Payment in full must be received by Friday, October 14, 2016
Regular payments are always a good idea and will have your retreat paid off in next to no time.
($30.00 a month up until the time full payment is required will have your retreat paid off in time)

Deposits and payments can be made through online banking into the following account -
Name: M & S PRATTEN
Summerland Credit Union
BSB Number: 728 728
Account Number: 22303942

Please use your name as a reference.
Once you have deposited your money, please email me with your reference and the amount you have deposited – scraplounge@westnet.com.au

We will have a selection of paper crafting goodies at great prices for you to purchase at the retreat although we recommend that you bring most of what you need.

I have booked 20 places so it will be a case of first in best dressed.
A deposit will secure your place.
Any questions please email me at scraplounge@westnet.com.au 

Wishing you a happy scrappy day

My news feed has been filled with all of your lovely "Back-to-school" and "First Day" photos in the last few weeks.
Made me sad that all of my babies are past their school days now, although the POTH is about to embark on a few years at Uni to train as a teacher.
So.....I thought this was a great topic for this fortnight's challenge.

 

This week's theme is "BACK TO SCHOOL"
Your LO must include.........

  3 x Colours from any of the colours featured in picture
2 x lots of HANDWRITTEN journaling - yours and your child's
(it could just be their name for example, in their handwriting)
1 x element painted (e.g. your background, the edge of your photo, a piece of chipboard, etc)

Upload your entry by midnight (NSW time), March 6 to be in the running for a great prize (TBA)
Or you can email it to me - scraplounge@westnet.com.au

 

So...ready...3 - 2 - 1 - SCRAP.....!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Good morning and welcome to "MONDAY MAGIC"

Each Monday I will share a piece of crafting magic that I have found.

 

This week I didn't have to look far......I found a lovely piece of magic right here on The Lounge.

This gorgeous layout was submitted by TahneeB in our January 1,
"3-2-1-SCRAP" challenge.

 

I love the colour combination Tahnee has used along with all the cute summer-y embellishments.

Thank you for allowing me to share your work, Tahnee.

 

Wishing you all a happy, scrappy day

Welcome To Our New Blog Home.

Hello and welcome to the new home of The Lounge Blog.
Our Typepad blog has become too expensive for me to justify paying a monthly fee for it so I have jumped on board with Blogger.
I hope that you will visit often and see what we have been up to.
I will be announcing our new "3-2-1-SCRAP" competition tomorrow morning so make sure you pop back for a visit.

Don't forget to visit us over on FaceBook too
