There Are So Many Ways to Use the Month-by-Month Virtual Album Retreat

The Workshop Kit includes precut DSP, page protectors, exclusive stamp sets, cardstock, embellishments, and more! The Virtual Retreat is July 16-18, 2:00 – 10:00 PM (MTN), Space is Limited. The Live Workshop is included when you purchase the kit; however, you do not have to watch Live. It will be recorded and available to watch later.

I will be doing much of the kit “live“. If you’d like to do it live and want to join me so you can use my supplies, let me know and we’ll work out the details.

Here are some ideas to get you started…

· Highlights of each month through the year
· First or last year of high school or college
· Document trying one new thing a month
· Photos of your day-to-day life
· Baby’s First Year
· Favorite Quotes and Scriptures
· Retirement
· Date Nights!
· Your own writing, doodles, or quotes

Or you can use a monthly theme! Here are some ideas…

January – New Beginnings, Intention, Vision
February – Love and Friendship
March – Luck, Growth, New Energy
April – Renewal, Change, Acceptance
May – Celebration, Outdoors, Joy
June – Sunshine, Adventures, Confidence
July – Fun, Family, Play
August – Back to School, Lazy Days, Transition
September – Cozy, Change, Reflection
October – Strength, Spooky
November – Gratitude, Gatherings, Presence
December – Magic, Memories, Celebration, Closure
