Escape 2 Create :) :) :)

Hello Hello :)

I have been having a pretty fabulous time with retreating and then going to Darwin, but that is another post :). 2 Weekends ago I went to the awwwwwesomest retreat Escape 2 Create! It really is just the BEST!!! Amanda Meredith and Sue have got organising the Perfect Retreat down to a fine art!!!!

I did do a lot of creating at the retreat, but not a lot of finished projects as such, I did a lot of arty experimenting, and created lots of 'backgrounds' for possible future projects :) :) :)

These are a couple that I did complete :)


I created this layout for the May 123 Challenge This is sadly my last contribution as part of the Design Team :( :( :( I have been participating in this amazing challenge site from the very first! as a newly scrapper right thru! I was so very honoured to be selected to join the DT! Thank you So so Very much Charm!!!!!

Materials; grey board - Imaginarium Designs, vintage book page, Mont Marte gesso, stamp and paint JBS Mercantile, title alpha - Basci Grey, journaling - Posca paint pen, bakers twine, Indian ink.
