In my last post, however, I was telling you about the Album Retreat and I wanted to give you a closer peak into my weekend. As soon as we arrived and were registered, we were ushered in to our event and immediately received another gorgeous shoulder tote. This is the same bag we received at Convention last year but I absolutely love this bag. It has a vinyl cover to help keep it clean and fits my album, cutter and even my laptop for Studio J scrapbooking too! I love it so much, I even brought it to Cancun with me for my carry on bag! Anyway, back to the retreat – lol!

Inside the bag was all this wonderful product including a zipper down CTMH jacket, Black Scrapbook Album, 8 different stamp set, a ton of embellishments, and on and on. I know this picture doesn’t do it justice to show how generous corp. was to us but it was the only picture I had time to take before they started us out on our first project!
As a special gift during one of our late night crops, we also received this cute little stamp set design my Jeannette Lynton, founder of Close to My Heart. She made it specifically for the Album Retreaters. The wording says “Friends make memories and the Heart preserves them.” How cute is that!!! We were also supplied with a package of our cute My Creations small paper pouches (Z1827) so we could create the following cards and gift bags. This was perfect as I always include a small card inside my kids lunch during our coop days, and being out of town on their next day, I wanted to make sure I had my cards ready before I left. This helped me get things together ahead of schedule. For the boys, I made a couple just like below but stamped in Pacifica blue to make it a little more masculine
. Just a little hug from mama as I was out of town. I probably should have made some for the grandparents who watched the kids while we were away
