We are all starting to get excited about our "Girls Night In" October weekend retreat...only two months to go and we have started to order goodies for your goodie bags and the scrap pack challenge kit and class layouts and demos are currently being planned. And... as per usual there are heaps of prizes and surprises during the weekend!! Don't forget we can arrive as early as 11am on the Friday and keep scrapping all the way through until 3pm Sunday - YIPPEE!!

Our new venue for this retreat is fabulous!! The beautiful spacious villas contain two bedrooms (twin share) and we have a great hall for scrapbooking. The food will be scrumptious and why not bring along your favourite wine or cocktail to enjoy also!

We thought we would tantalise you with some photos of where you will enjoy your weekend...

Here's a tip...about creating kits!!

Put aside one day every so often, to sit down and put together a few of your own "kits" for when you have a moment to scrapbook.

Put all the elements in a zip lock bag ie: photos already cropped, cardstock for backgrounds and matting, patterned papers, embellishments and either hand written or typed journaling.

You could even pop in a sketch with the appropriate amount of photos to save you even more time when it comes to scrapbooking them.
