* A landscape clean and crisp in form and colour, rich in inspiration is all that an artist could wish for, begging to be used, and full of inherent possibilities… (Frank Carmichael)

Earlier this year I had my third child and while I am still very passionate about creating, my objectives have somewhat changed. I am constantly on the look out for new and exciting ways to create art and preserve all those important memories, however my focus is now set on finding ways to accomplish this in a shorter amount of time.

My main goal for the retreat this year is to provide croppers with inspirational classes, techniques, and ideas that all work towards the goal of completing projects they can feel great about, but require less time and energy. What could be better than finding ways to exercise your creative soul everyday knowing that you can accomplish your inspirational goals and still have plenty of time left for your family and friends.

If you are ready to get your creative juices flowing, have lots of time for creative play, recieve total pampering and a ton of surprises all while relaxing and taking in the beauty of the mountain, then this is the retreat for you!

I think the purpose of a scrapbook retreat should be to replenish your creative resources, relax and enjoy time away from the stresses of everyday, and rebuild your depleted stocks of energy to allow you to return to life refreshed and invigorated, hopefully with some new insights and inspiring resources.

This will be our 5th MemoryVilla Retreat and we would love to have you join us!

Peace, Love, & Happy Creating,
April
