Scrap It! Sedgley

Indigo Mill upped sticks over to Sedgley today to run a shop at Scrap it! run by DT member Hannah Westwood.

It's a gorgeous venue, pretty newly built, and cosy and friendly. (And everyone has fab brummy accents that I love to hear!)

We all had a great time, and I would like to say thanks to all the girls who were there, as I had a fab day!

Got to put some faces to names of retreaters, and had a general good time.

And finished my first layout for several weeks! And it was a double layout!!! (very unlike me)

On a last note.... HAPPY BIRTHDAY ALISON and have a great holiday

My award



I forgot to show everyone my award!

The gorgeous ladies at the retreat made this to go alongside my champagne and chocolates.  Luckily it didn't have the same effect on me as the champagne did!

Thank you everyone, I am glad that you all had a good time, and look forward to welcoming people back again soon.

UKS Sept / Oct Sponsor Challenge

Having recently sponsored UKScrappers, I was having a nose around and found the sponsors challenge forum.  It was looking a bit lost and lonely as no-one had posted for a good few months, so I decided to revive it.

Our first challenge was to show nifty ways of using acrylic paint on a layout, as well as using more than 3 alphabets too 

We had some absolutely fab entries, which I just couldn't judge by myself, so I gave hubby the challenge and the entries and asked him which met the challenge best.

Our winner was Shirley Yow over in Singapore, with the lovely Scrappy Cats' Hilary a close runner up.  Both have had their prize goodies shipped to them, and are hopefully spending half term playing with them!

And here they are.....

Well done girls, great work!

Why not check out our latest challenge over on the Sponsor challenge forum.  It's pretty mean!
