Retreat! Retreat! Retreat!

I'm so excited to be going on a retreat this weekend with some friends from church and community. My friend, Pat Lobbes, is a Stampin' Up demonstrator and she started this shin-dig a few years ago at Hobby House Hill in Bowie, TX. Some of us make cards, some stamp, some scrapbook... some just come and swim and eat! Cindy, our host, is just wonderful and has created a true oasis for the scrapbooker! I can't wait to spend time with my friends and to just relax and have fun! I will be preparing for my summer retreat as a Creative Memories Consultant with my friends, family and customers in July. We will be in Canton, TX at the Windsock Inn... another great facility for relaxation!

One of the things I plan on doing this weekend is some digital scrapbooking. I am hoping to put to use some of the information I've been learning from the Pixies at P2P. Haven't heard of P2P... that stands for Pixels to Pages. This site was formed by a group of Creative Memories Consultants sharing their wealth of knowledge on using the Storybook Creator Plus 3.0 Software. These ladies are INCREDIBLE! I have learned so much from their videos! Here is an example of one I can't wait to try this weekend! Hope you enjoy!

By flattening elements together, a photo can be spread across a grid page to create a fantastic tiled look.
