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!

Inserting a Photo into Multiple Elements.
By flattening elements together, a photo can be spread across a grid page to create a fantastic tiled look.

Hey What's Scrappening?

Trying to start a scrapblog is something I have been wanting to do for a long time... to have a place to share creative inspiration, challenges, how-to's. But as most things in my life, I struggle finding the time to do all the things I want to do! So lets just take it one "byte" at a time!

So What's Scrappening? Well, National Scrapbook Day is quickly approaching and I am planning on having a crop day at my house on May 1st - 10am to 10pm! 12 full hours of crop time! Space is very limited since I'm having it at my home, so I really need those RSVP's as soon as possible! If you pre-register with your payment by April 16th you will receive a wonderful gift package valued at over $25! Your meals and snacks for the day will be provided and you will have 4 feet of cropping space!

In other scrappenings, I am working on becoming a Digitally Endorsed Consultant for Creative Memories. What does this mean? I am completing the training on the wonderful software packages offered by Creative Memories so I will be better able to help you! More to come on this!

Well, that is about all the scrappenings for now! Have a great week!!
