Virtual retreat results

I attended a virtual retreat this weekend with a group of friend who weren't able to attend the real retreat. A virtual retreat means that you work at home like you were really at the retreat and try not to let things at home distract you.

I had a lot of fun and accomplished more than I have in months. Four altered photo frames, a wall hanging and 8 2pg layouts along with 3 filled slide in pages. I finished 2007 up to Christmas!

I'm not sure what pics to use in the photo frames but I'll figure something out. I figure they'll be fun to have on my desk at work.

My favorite thing from the weekend is my wall hanging. I started with four chipboard panels and picked out some of my favorite fall and Christmas photos for alternating sides. Any way here are the pictures and details.

On the fall side I used some discontinued CTMH papers and other accents I've accumulated.


On the Christmas side I used some paper from my stash and other accents I've accumulated.


For the hanger I used double sided red/gold ribbon. I used a glue stick on the papers since it dries faster than Mod Podge. On the photos/accents I used tape runner.

I loved this project and I love knowing that I can switch things out or add things if I ever want to. You know how it is, you think it's perfect and they your in a store and find "The PERFECT thing" for that project.


Thanks Martha for hosting our retreat and thanks to everyone for all of the goodie bag items. I'll enjoy them all in my dreams. ;)
