I am so excited that we have booked FOUR weekend retreats at Roughley Manor for this year, 2012!  We have enjoyed every trip to the Manor and always enjoy talking with the owners Jan and Gary, we seem to learn something new about the Manor with every visit!         Each scrapbook weekend retreat starts with everyone being able to arrive at 12pm on Friday. You may check into your room at 2pm Friday and check out after breakfast on Sunday, however you may crop until 2pm on Sunday.          We are taking sign-ups for our March, July, September and November weekend retreats! We know these weekends fill up quickly so make sure to put down your deposit today! The deposit must be paid at the time of sign-up. We have had to change this policy and be more strict as the retreat is so popular now so it is difficult to fit everyone in who wants to go everytime.          Please note that we have had to raise the price by $11 to cover some of the expenses the store has paid for in the past, particularly Saturday's lunch. In reviewing the weekend expenses, we realized this is no longer feasible for us. We will be keeping credit cards on file for easier payment and charging them on the scheduled dates for each weekend.

Beth recently gave a class to complete this project and now you can make your own with any papers and embellishments you love.

For inspiration you can see Beth's version below!

Hot Off The Press:

"Color Me" Papers

Be your own paper designer! This paper's raised design resists color, which makes for some gorgeous effects. Simply add color - using ink pads, spray mists, chalks, markers, watercolors and other mediums - then wipe away the excess. Or, heat and then quickly add embossing powder, flock or glitter to the pattern. Use one or more colors to create beautifully patterned papers that showcase your origniality.
