The Scrap Cabana Weekend Scrapbook Retreat - September 5, 6, 7th Wrap-Up

The Scrap Cabana hosts Weekend Scrapbook Retreats in Aurora, IL at The Hampton Inn & Suites. We just hosted our 2nd Scrapbook Weekend on September 5,6,7 and it was a great success! We had such a great time and lots of scrappin' fun! Our scrapbook events are growing quickly and we had 33 scrappin' buddies attend our September Event!

At our Scrapbook Weekend, we play Scrapbook BINGO! You earn raffle tickets just by scrappin'! It is a typical BINGO card but with scrappin' squares. An example of a Bingo square would be USE RIBBON ON YOUR PAGE, or SCRAPPED FOR OVER 8 HOURS IN ONE DAY,
or COMPLETED 10 PAGES. It is really a lot of fun and you earn raffle tickets that you can use to win Scrappin' Giveaways.

Everyone was busy scrappin' the weekend away! Our scrapping room is open 24 hours for those die hard scrappers and we took total advantage of the time away. Scrapper Anita was our late nite die hard staying up until 5:30 AM! She stayed up in time to catch the wonderful hot breakfast that the Hampton host for all overnight guest! After catching a few hours of sleep, she was back at it by 11:00 AM! What a tropper! Scrapper Beth completed a whopping 30 pages! She was also busy earning her Scrapbook BINGO tickets and she completed the full Scrapbook Bingo card! Scrapper Erin was our honored returning guest....she has attended both of our scrapbook weekends and we were so happy she came back for more! Thanks Erin! Scrapper Kim A is expecting her second child in a few weeks and we were so happy she was able to join us! Any day now.....we will be thinking about you and wish you the best!

With so much time to focus on just scrappin', we created lots of wonderful scrapbook layouts! Just look at our creations! Click on the picture for a close up! (Some are not upright and I have tried to correct but they keep going back sideways!)


























































































































































Once all the BINGO raffle tickets were earned, we held our Scrappin' Raffle at the end of our event on Sunday. The Scrappin' Raffle was very exciting and highly anticipated! We had a lot of different winners so no one dominated the raffle! Check out our winners......

Our weekend was a lot of fun and other than being sleep deprived, I believe it was a success! Please join us for our next Scrapbook Weekend Retreat in November! It's just around the corner and definitely worth it!

Until our next chitchat.........Happy Scrappin'

The pictures are great. It brought back all the memories of the fun we had that week end. I'm ready for another retreat. Well maybe not before Nov. But I sure had a great time. Hopefully I'll be ready to finish my Hawaii album by Nov.
