SCRAP AND PAMPER PARTY FEEDBACK

Saturday dawned bright and early, with the sun shining down beautifully for us.

15 girls all gathered together to enjoy a day of Scrapbooking and Pampering.. what more could anyone ask for?

Chicama Country Spa at Glenburn Lodge was our destination:

Getting to scrap in these beautiful surroundings.. wow !
The Zen music playing and the sound of the water trickling behind you as you scrap.
The girls had a great time and finished a double and a single layout on the day.

After being treated to breakfast, snacks and lunch the ladies were then treated to 2 wonderful spa treatments. They were all relaxed after that and we ended off our day with Cheese and Wine.


KITS FOR SALE:

Our kits created on the day were:
  • DARE TO DREAM (double layout) - R 130

M&M SCRAP AND PAMPER PARTY

Wow, less than 10 days to go our next event...

We will be completing a double layout AND a single layout in the morning:

For our double layout, we will be using the BO BUNNY CAMBRIDGE COLLECTION:


Sneak Peek:

This layout can be used for any photos that go with the TITLE – “DARE TO DREAM” (maybe those bungee jumping photos you have, the pics where you finally decided to start studying again and graduated, where you decided to start a new job.. anything goes !)

HOWEVER, please note that due to time constraints, I seriously doubt that we will get time to put photos on, so please don’t worry about them now.. Just come along, enjoy the layout and once you are finished, you can decide what photos will be perfect for the page.. or go out, do something daring and take some new photos !

SURVIVOR WEEKEND FEEDBACK

Well we “SURVIVED” the weekend… LOL .. we managed to OUTCROP, OUTBLING and OUTSCRAP the competition.

35 girls all arrived on a lovely Friday afternoon at DINONYANE LODGE in Nylsvley. We had a super weekend scrapping, playing games and being challenged as teams to outscrap each other.
The girls really bonded so well and had loads of fun !
On Friday night we put the ladies into different teams and they had to present their flags, team name and war cry to the Judges the next morning.

The PURPLE TURTLES won hands down with their unique little “skilpad” who joined their team.. LOL! Everyone was so creative though and the flags were stunning !


Saturday saw the girls doing 2 awesome double layouts and 2 survivor challenges.. SURVIVOR Scavenger Hunt during the day and SURVIVOR 30 seconds in the evening.
After that was chill time and while some girls partied, others went back to SCRAPBOOK ISLAND and scrapped until 2 in the morning… This year 80% of the girls finished their projects AND had time to put on their photos ! We are so PROUD of you all.. that hardly EVER happens…

Sunday dawned with hangovers and tired teachers and students.. LOL! However with our Grunge layout ahead, they donned their APRONS, gloves and got ready to get down and dirty !! That evening was TRIBAL COUNCIL... teams were awarded certificates, trophies and prizes
for their team work and individual prizes...

One of our best dressed couples: Michelle and Adrie and some of our amazing Cocktails that the teams presented as one of their Challenges..


Our coveted GOLDEN SCISSORS trophy (and certificates) were awarded to the PINK FLAMINGO’s for scoring the most points over the weekend and they all took home the title of SCRAPVIVOR 2010 ! Well done ladies.

Monday was sad as we done a quick layout and then all packed up and came home.

The girls were showered with gifts the whole weekend long. Daily presents were handed out (Scrapping DIVA aprons, dirt bins, tool bags, slippers/towels, etc etc) spot prizes were handed to each girl every day and other luck ladies still got game prizes and Survivor prizes. We also raffled a SIZZIX (won by Marissa .. well done ).


Lots more photos will be loaded shortly as soon as the girls share their photos ... (watch this space).
If you missed out, please remember BOOKINGS ARE OPEN for our next retreat in MARCH 2011.
NUTTY {M} and SWEET {M} at it again !
