Finished

It's finally finished and I love it. I started this pattern by Glenda Payseno a while ago and it is finally finished. I love the way it turned out. Of course I didn't use the colors she selected. I never do on any patterns but I love the way these colors worked together. I have already started another of her patterns using two shades of gold seed beads and 4 sizes of gold swarovski pearls. Glenda's patterns are so good. They aren't simple but they turn out so pretty.

So much to tell you....

Camp Mitchell
I forgot three important things about this retreat.
1. The scenery was breathtaking.
2. There were strong, handsome men who unloaded and reloaded all our numerous containers of scrapbook stuff so we didn't have to do any heavy lifting at all.
3. And most important (I don't know why I forgot to mention it) the MVPs (Memory Villa Princesses) who treated us like queens all weekend long. They waited on us bringing us snacks and drinks and showing us techniques and just in general being wonderful to us.
Thank you so much ladies! Hope you are getting some well deserved rest today.
I'm hoping to get some of my online scrapbook friends to come next year so we can scrap in person.

I am just back from the world's best scrapbook retreat. Good friends, good classes, lots of make and takes, a beautiful atmosphere , and good meals and snacks. What more could you ask for. Oh yeah there were lots of really great door prizes. And did I mention GREAT classes. This was the 4th Memory Villa Scrapbook Retreat and believe me I will be going again next year. Wish there was a way to sign up ahead of time because I certainly would.
After I get unpacked and organized again I will take a picture of some of the 17 layouts that I did while I was there.

digital layout

Here is a digital layout using my grandparents wedding picture. Simple but I think it fits the vintage photo. I plan on printing it out 8x8 and putting it on a sheet of 12 x 12 paper.
