My trip to Scrapping Clearly in Gundagai, by Amanda Hartmann

Hi everyone!

I have been on Kylie Tout's Design team for Scrappingclearly for a few years, but on the weekend, I visited her Gundagai shop in person for the first time!

I travelled to Gundagai for Kylie's annual Art retreat - more on that later. {Note: sorry, but it is already sold out for 2024!}

Kylie has an incredible shop - paper crafters, scrapbookers and mixed media artists can all find something here! What an incredible range! And lucky for us, even if we never make it to Gundagai, we can buy from her online store.

And as a bonus, she also sells an incredible range of giftware - jewelry, bags, hats, t-shirts, you name it! 

Outside the shop - visiting for the first time!

This is her Mixed Media room! Incredible!!!!

And the top selling products everyone was using and buying this weekend:

Sennelier Inks

Liquitex Inks

Dina Wakley Media Acrylic Paints

Stamps and stencils on every wall, from all our favourite brands!

Finnabair Stencils

Tim Holtz Stencils & Stamps

Dylusions Stamps

Art By Marlene Stamps

Dina Wakley Media Stencils

AALL & Create Stencils & Stamps

And I was pretty excited to find this room! A scrapbookers dream - Papers, Papers, and more papers. And a range of new and old (think awesome vintage stuff you haven't seen in years!) products and embellishments.

New stuff from: 49 and Market embellishments

New and old from: Heidi Swapp embellishments

You can go past the 50 cent papers in this room! Find them in the Clearance section of the website.

I may have also been lucky enough to visit on a day where I got to cuddle one of Kylie's puppies!

Probably one of the best parts of the weekend, was being together with {almost} all of the Creative team, plus guest designers. What a creative bunch. Truly inspirational. So lucky to be on this team.

The 2023 Lucking Findings Retreat.....

Finally, here are a few photos of the retreat.

My desk all set ready to create for the weekend.

Just before people arrived - with all the desks set up ready. I think I was in charge!

Kylie will her pop-up shop in the hall (and a puppy).

Custom made totes, aprons, cookies, mugs and more!

And of course, we all got our hands dirty!

Everyone busy creating!

So now when you think of Gundagai, don't just think of the Dog on the Tuckerbox.....

...also think of Kylie and her awesome store: Scrappingclearly. And be sure to visit {in person or online} and support this wonderful Aussie business!
