BOOK NOW FOR NEXT RETREAT IN APRIL – SPACES LIMITED

Have you ever wanted to just get away with a group of like-minded crafters on a weekend to spend a whole weekend scrapbooking? Come along and join us on one of our weekends away, scrapping and working on your papercraft and off the page projects at great venues with delicious food, comfortable and affordable accommodation and lots of laughs from fellow crafters. All venues are in the South East Queensland area.
The next Retreat is scheduled for 29 April to 2 May 2011 at Kilcoy commencing on Friday afternoon at 5pm through to Monday afternoon at 2pm. 2 day packages are also available.

Michelle has been published in Scrapbooking Memories magazine as a Scrapbooking Master and is a member of several design teams. Michelle’s class & kit are included in the cost of the weekend.

Workshop and product demonstrations/promotions are conducted over the weekend, learning new techniques and gaining heaps of ideas and inspiration. There will be Challenges with great prizes to be earned by the winners; lucky door prizes, raffles and a few surprises. A generous scrap pack is distributed upon your arrival and includes Challenge materials. A shop is available to purchase your basic supplies. Pamper packages also available should you want to take a break from scrapping...and why wouldn’t you...we all love to be pampered!
