• Lots of great make 'n takes and drawings (you remember how good the drawings were last time?  these are even cooler!)
• All of your meals, plus snacks (if you've got room!)
• And just enough downtime to catch your breath and work on a page or two of your own.
• Access to all of our tools including Sissix, Cricut, Ellison, and Wizard cutting machines; dies, embossing folders, and cartridges
• Shuttles to the shop for any tools you might have forgotten.
• Access to Donya, Michelle, and Gerrie for ideas and advice 24/7, not to mention your fellow retreat goers :-)

Here are some details for the two Workshops, be sure to check the Backroads Plum Crazy Blog often for sneak peaks of more projects, make 'n takes, and maybe even prizes!

Spiral bound CD album

You will make a spiral bound album using 5 CDs. There will be 8 pages to decorate and mount your photos. Bring at least 8 copies of photos no larger then 4 X 5.  They can be smaller.. or somewhat larger if you want to crop them. Be sure they are not your originals, but copies.

You will need to bring your paper trimmer and photo mount squares or tape. Feel free to bring any special embellishments or stickers you may want to include in your book. The rest of the materials will be included in your kit.

Paper Purses

You'll stretch your paper further you ever imagined in this workshop.  You'll learn to make two different styles of purses out of darling double sided paper.  One you'll convert into a fold out mini-album and the other will become a wonderful gift bag for a set of custom cards.

You'll just need your paper trimmer and a good adhesive (permanent tape runner or uhu glue stick for example) for this project.
