💻 Where Does the Retreat Happen?

❤️ Why I Think My Scrapbookers Might Enjoy This…

One of my favorite things about being a paper crafter is that we’re never really limited to just one type of project.

If you love scrapbooking, you’ve already developed an eye for:

✨ Color combinations
✨ Patterned paper
✨ Layering
✨ Embellishments
✨ Stamping
✨ Die cutting
✨ Creating beautiful compositions

So why not take those skills and try something a little different?

You might discover that you LOVE making cards! And who knows…you may even pick up a technique or two that you’ll want to incorporate into your next scrapbook layout.

Plus, there’s something really special about sitting down and crafting alongside a community of other creative people—even when we’re miles apart.

🎉 Ready to Give Card Making a Try?

If you’ve always been curious about card making, this is a wonderful way to dip your toes in!

Order your 2026 October Card Retreat Kit early so you have everything you need when the retreat begins.

Then grab your favorite beverage, clear some space on your craft table, and get ready for two days of creativity, learning, and fun!

I hope you’ll join in! 💕

Happy crafting!
