It’s that time of year again when me and some friends drive 2 hours away to the lake for our bi-annual scrapbook retreat. Everyone is so excited to get away for a few days, lounge around in our pj’s, no make-up, no kids, someone else cooks for us (all from scratch and delicious) and we scrapbook all day and late into the night. And YES we really do scrapbook! It is a blast to get hours and hours of straight scrapbook time. I am in charge this time to send reminders (like they need one), collect deposits and lay out the sleeping and scrapping arrangements for everyone. We have a total of 17 going this time. Not everyone will stay the whole three nights but we’ve got a good group going.
I decided to do little gift bags for everyone and play to our theme. We call ourselves the “Scrappy B’s”. I’ll admit the B does not stand for anything nice but it’s all in fun. I thought about stuffing the bags with some type of scrapbook embellishment but that would get too expensive for 17 people so I went with candy.
I used the Cricut “Create a Critter” cartridge to cut out these cute little 2 inch bee’s since we are the “Scrappy B’s”.
“Close to My Heart” stamps carries some really cute scrapbook sentiment stamps that also went perfectly with the theme.
So bags are all made and now it’s time to start getting all my supplies organized and packed up for the retreat. Just a few weeks to go until “Scrappy B time!!!!
