EMI Scrapbooking Weekend Sneak Peak #1

Okay ladies, here's your first look at one of the mini albums we'll be making during our September weekend. The papers featured in this album come from Heidi Swapp's Summer Fun Collection. The album is made up of 6 double sided chipboard pages roughly 6 inches in diameter. Other items used include Heidi Swapp printed cardstock embellishments, Summer Fun cardstock stickers, assorted ribbons, buttons, twine and more! We'd love to show you the whole thing, but then you wouldn't be surprised when you get to the retreat!



The weekend is filling fast and we will probably sell out in the next week or so, so if you're interested in one of the last spots it's time to register!!!

This weekend will take place on November 13- 15! Not only will you get a relaxing weekend scrapping but you will also make great gifts for everyone on your list!!! We will be offering supplies to make gifts for those special people on your list that can easily be recreated for last minute or year round gifts!!!

Mommy Weekend- July 31-August 2

Calling all mommies!!! If you are like us, you have a ton of photos of your new bundle of joy. Sadly, you are too busy changing diapers, feeding, staying up all night to scrapbook your sweet baby. Normal scrapbook weekends are not right for you either because you can't leave your baby for a second!!! Now you can do both in a great weekend. Bring your baby for a great weekend of scrapping and mommy/baby time. That's right bring your baby so that you can do all the regular mommy stuff of changing, feeding, bonding with baby and scrap at the same time. While you scrap, your baby will be cared for by volunteers. Yet, you will still be available for all the normal bonding opportunities for mommy and baby!! If you are interested in having a great scrapbook with your baby visit our shutterfly site to register. You can contact us for more information or any questions.
