This weekend is designed for anyone who'd like to:

finish those special scrapbooking projects (paper OR digital! for paper or hybrid scrappers there are all kinds of equipment available to use for free!) Anyone have a senior graduation this spring? Now's your chance to finish their memory book, create your Open House Invitations, make posters, etc!
learn all those 'tricks' you see others doing (creating brushes, patterns, textures; fast and beautiful extractions; photo enhancements; digital sewing, lace making, etc)
enjoy a weekend of no cooking, no cleaning, no phones, no interuptions, ... no responsibilities!
be pampered! (these are gourmet meals ladies!, great snacks, free beverages, luxury linens, and super comfy workstations)
fellowship with other scrapbookers - learning, laughing, and accomplishing!


If you were at the fall retreat you can testify to the incredible time we all had!
Even Kathy who came all the way from New Orleans! :yahoo:
Anytime you get scrappers together FUN happens! :lol: :yes: :lol:

Last fall was fantastic! Lots of laughs and lots of learning ... and of course ... lots of digital scrapbooking! We even added 6 new DSPers to the forum - woo hoo!!!

Doin' what we can to get the midwesterners involved in Digital Scrapbooking!!! (We have even MORE incentive here ... IMHO ... bcuz many of us would be driving 1 to 2 hours just to find a paper supply store for traditional scrapbooking! ... or, order online ... where's the fun in that?!)

Quick 'bump' . . . don't want anyone to miss the opportunity!

If you live in MPLS/SP area or along the I-35 corridor south to Iowa we can help arrange a car pool. Clear Lake is about 2.25 hours south of MPLS ... the retreat center is about 1 mile west of I-35.

If you live in DSM (Iowa) we do have some attendees coming from there as well ... possibility of a carpool ... let me know.

We're going to explore some fun features of Photoshop/Elements!
-creating and using Patterns
-creating and using Brushes
-creating and using adjustment layers TO THE MAX!

There will be prizes and of course, plenty of fun all weekend.
COME JOIN US.:tup:

Just saw this thread. I live in Des Moines and am interested in a crop somewhere in Iowa or perhaps the Omaha area. Any plans for another retreat.
