Not only will you enjoy top-notch classes and workshops throughout the retreat, as a retreat guest you will also be treated to a product-packed scrapbook extravaganza - the Creative Studio - where you’ll visit dozens of project booths sponsored by your favorite scrapbook companies to create a one-of-a-kind mini-album project. Visit each vendor booth to complete your own personalized mini-album pages, featuring techniques and products from MemoryWorks vendors and retreat sponsors! Fun and inspiring at the same time!

Consultant Note: Our Creative Studio event will help you put a whole new spin on the way you display samples and products at your crops or parties. Instead of creating a personalized album for yourself during this event, you can choose to compile your own innovative demo album unique to your business! Visit each vendor booth to complete your own demo files to be stored in a darling altered mini-album, featuring techniques and products from MemoryWorks vendors and retreat sponsors. You'll have a complete file of stylish demo samples to display at your parties and scrapbook events right at your fingertips! If you're not interested in using this as a demo project, you can easily adapt the project to create your own personalized mini-album.
