Louise Sharp: May 2019

22 May 2019

GET READY FOR A FIESTA!
As you may know, for the past two years I have run a Stamp Retreat in beautiful Kiama (on the NSW South Coast) and we have the best fun - I promise I'm not trying to sell it to you - we literally have SO.MUCH.FUN!!

Dates:
Friday 9th - Sunday 11th August 2019

Location:
Easts Beach Holiday Park, 30 Ocean Street, Kiama NSW

Price:
$420.00AU - includes all meals.

Crafting and Demonstrations:
Whether you are a seasoned stamper, the new kid on the block, a mix-media specialist or a devoted scrapbooker - you are welcome to come and join in the fun. If you come with friends or make new ones when you arrive, I absolutely promise it will an unforgettable weekend.
**Stampin' Up! Demonstrators are welcome too! 😊**

Over the course of the weekend you will have time to work on your own projects and also have the opportunity to create several beautiful make and take projects including 3D items. There will also be presentations from talented crafters demonstrating new techniques and products. (If you're lucky you may even get a demonstration from one of my brothers - they show up every year and I put them to work!)

Food (glorious food!):
Let me tell you that you won't be disappointed!
My dear friend and amazing caterer Tracey Tullier will again be filling us with her scrumptious country cooking. Last year she spoilt us with things like fresh scones with homemade jam and cream, caramel slice, melting moments, lemon slice, chocolate biscuits - just to name a few!

Continental breakfast baskets will be placed into your room if staying at East Beach including heavenly homemade jams and treats. Delicious lunch packs will be put together if you would like to walk down to the beach for a picnic.

Gifts, Giveaways and Prizes:
It will all start when you arrive and you get pretty spoilt at my events!
Besides all of the beautiful make and takes and crafting projects, there will be beautiful gifts and giveaways.

Accommodation:
The price does not include accommodation and you will need to make your own arrangements. As like last year, the event will be held at East Beach Holiday Park, Kiama on the stunning NSW South Coast. If you do choose to stay where the fun is, Easts Beach is a beautiful and popular holiday park with a wide range of affordable accommodation options.

Cost and Payment:
The cost is $420.00AU with a deposit of $100.00 required to secure your spot by the 30th May. This deposit will be nonrefundable after the 15th June. You can pay by Paypal or into my account.

REGISTER, REGISTER, REGISTER!!!! Spots are limited. You will NEED to register and pay deposit to secure you spot. Click Here or the button below to register.

If you want to find out what you're in for and the fun we had from last year, you can read more about it >here< on my blog.

Would LOVE to see you there and enjoy a weekend of laughter, friends and of course some crafting!

Welcome to the Everything is Rosy Blog Hop featuring demonstrators from the INKspired Team in Australia and the Pinkies Team in the UK. If you are starting here please make sure you hit the next button at the bottom of this post and hop all the way around.

Don't fall over....I haven't blogged in a really long time! *Sigh - unfortunately life has taken over a bit with things a little hectic in the Sharp house. We are currently selling our beautiful home in Kiama NSW to find more land and a bigger home to cope with my craft addiction! Seriously though...I NEED a craft room, it's gone past a want at this stage!

Onto the hop and the Everything is Rosy Product Medley which is just such a gorgeous kit with a collection of stamps, papers, foil sheets, ribbons and rose gold paint. I am LOVING the Melon Mambo and Night of Navy combination.

Louise's Everything is Rosy Class:
I decided to create something that you could easily use in a class or workshop....or even a great collection of note cards to get great value from your kit! The size of these note cards are 3 x 4 1/2" which will maximise the designer paper sheets. I used the Layering Circle Framelits to cut the scalloped circles and I stamped the flowers in Melon Mambo and Night of Navy Ink with the lighter ones stamped off. You will notice each card has 1 x large flower, 1 x small flower, 1 x large leaf and 1 x small leaf. My advise is to give each class participant the kit (preferable cut down to save time) and let their own creativity shine!

Extra products you will need:
Whisper White Cardstock; Melon Mambo Ink Pad; Melon Mambo Cardstock; Night of Navy Ink Pad; Night of Navy Cardstock; Layering Circle Framelits; Adhesives.
