What are Moments & Memories Trips All About?

Moments & Memories trips are all about making the memories first while also taking time to preserve them.

These trips are designed for scrapbookers who love to travel, explore and experience new places just as much as they love creating the pages that tell those stories. The destination isn’t simply the backdrop for a crop or retreat - it’s an important part of the experience. We’ll have time to sightsee, take far too many photos, enjoy meals and conversations together, and simply be present in the places we’ve come to see.

This is not like a regular crop or retreat. You don’t need to pack up your scrapbook room or bring all your projects from home. Your Creative Fee includes the supplies, projects, classes and demonstrations you need to begin documenting this adventure, with everything designed around the places we’re visiting and the memories we’re making along the way. My goal is to make it easy for you to sit down, create with confidence and start creating meaningful pages while the experience is still vivid.

Our groups are intentionally kept smaller so the experience stays personal, welcoming and connected. Whether you travel with a friend or companion or arrive knowing no one at all, my hope is that you leave with new pages in your albums, new places visited and new memories and friendships worth preserving!

Explore. Create. Remember. That’s what Moments & Memories is all about.
