About Us
Our weekend retreats are offered at the Harbor Shores on the banks of the beautiful Geneva Lake in Lake Geneva, Wisconsin. We have worked with this amazing hotel for almost a decade and have found them to be service oriented with a strong will to make sure their clients are happy and well taken care of.
Each room is a mini-suite that offers a kitchenette with a microwave, refrigerator and dishes. The hotel also offers 2 pools (indoor and outdoor), a hot tub and a restaurant.
Our registered clients are entitled to special negotiated rates on a first come first serve basis that are about 50% off their regular rates!
We will make
sure you
have a
fabulous
time!!

Great products at great prices!!
When I purchase products directly from the manufacturers - I get the best prices. Then... My savings is passed on to YOU!!
We sell, quality albums, unique decorative supplies, fun t-shirts, popular papers, totes, and an array of rare items.
Below you will see some of my personal pages and I explain some of the techniques, ideas and products used. Don't get too excited that these are anazing, take-your-breath-away works of art. My albums are a "work of heart" and are simple, descriptive and enjoyed by my family.
I feel it's important to show people
that to be a scrapbooker
you don't need to...
be "crafty" or "talented"
spend a lot of money
have a lot of time to dedicate to it
give up valuable family time
The Highest Human Duty
is to Encourage...

Page Flippers
This layout emcompasses a great product I sell - Page Flippers. When you need a little added room on a page or to hold cards and memorabilia, these plastic inserts work like a page themselves and can be adhered to the top, bottom, left or right on a page.

Calendar Layouts
At the end of a chronoligical month, I do a page with calendar squares and all the orphan photos that didn't fit anywhere else in the month. I journal events, appointments, cute things the kids did or said and any other pertinent info. I've referred back to these pages in the past for medical records or to check dates of something. Calendars are very practical additions to your album!!

Artwork and Projects
I take pictures of the kids special handiwork and expecially 3-D artwork. I write about what they made and why they made it. This saves so much room around the house as we no longer have to keep all their HUGE school projects as they have a very special place in our albums!!

Layering
Even simple pages can have a touch of class. You see here a layering of mounting paper layered with a brad tied with some fibers for a soft effect. This is a simple page cedoration that can be used again and again in many different ways.

A Little Bit of Everything
This layout encompasses lots of little things to make a page more interesting. There is a current family return address label, Great quotes from an aweome little kit, vellum (notice how you can't see any adhesive marks), an award ribbon and best yet... Look at how the photos are cropped!! They all look matted! Surprise - They're not!! I sell this cool marker that has a blade hidden inside it's tip. When you crop the photo, it automatically puts a colored border on it!! I love these things!!

Memorable Memorabilia
This layout includes my daughter in one of our most favorite nities. She was growing out of it so we took a couple special pictures and the pink square you see at the top - Thats a swatch of her nitie. Don't forget to include things like this in your albums.

Rip Roaring Fun
I like the look of ripping papers - especially if the core is a different color. I sell lots of different kinds of "colored core" papers. I use them for a simple but fabulous backgrounds and they are great for journal boxes as it draws the eye to the journaling. Here I've also used a Page Flipper to hold extra things I didn't want to make a whole other page for. FYI - These great products have been discontinued by the manufacturer do to lack of interest. Honestly I believe it was lack of marketing as I sell these like crazy. I did purchase a hundred or so from the last of their inventory so if you need any - I'm an email away!!
