A couple of months ago, I participated in the Stampin’ Up! Virtual Album Retreat, and I can honestly say—it was one of the BEST scrapbook experiences I’ve ever had. I not only completed an entire scrapbook album, but I also learned so many scrapbooking tips, tricks, and ideas along the way. Today, I want to share my experience and show you why this retreat is perfect for all scrapbookers—whether you’ve been scrapbooking for years or are just getting started with scrapbooking for beginners. And—it’s NOT TOO LATE to still participate!
What Is the Virtual Album Retreat?
The Virtual Album Retreat is a fully guided scrapbooking event where you create a complete scrapbook album from start to finish. The best part? Everything comes in one convenient album kit—all the paper, embellishments, layouts, and step-by-step instructions are included.
You don’t need any extra supplies or tools beyond the basics. Each page is pre-planned, pre-cut, and prepped, so all you have to do is sit down and enjoy the creative process.
And yes—this retreat really is for everyone!
- Scrapbooking for beginners: You’ll love how easy it is to follow along and create a beautiful scrapbook album without feeling overwhelmed.
- Experienced scrapbookers: You’ll pick up new layout ideas, design inspiration, and creative techniques you can use on future albums.
Full Video Tutorials – On Your Schedule
One of my favorite parts of the Virtual Album Retreat was the video tutorials. For every single page of the album, there’s a full video walking you through the process step by step. You can create right alongside the Stampin’ Up! experts, pause when you need to, and go at your own pace.
And here’s the best part: you don’t have to join live to participate. If you missed the original retreat, that’s perfectly okay—the videos are recorded and available anytime. That means you can create your scrapbook album when it works best for you—whether that’s in a weekend marathon or little by little whenever you have time.
Because everything you need is included in the kit—papers, embellishments, and even the page designs—this retreat is especially perfect for scrapbooking for beginners. You don’t have to worry about choosing supplies or figuring out where to start. Just follow along, enjoy the process, and watch your album come together.
This made the retreat feel like a scrapbooking class right in my craft room. I could rewind, replay, and learn new scrapbooking techniques without any pressure to rush.
Why I Loved It
✨ No prep stress – Everything was already designed, cut, and ready to go.
✨ Learned new scrapbook layouts – I picked up design ideas I can reuse in other albums.
✨ Built a finished scrapbook album – In just one weekend, I had a completed keepsake!
✨ Do it on your own schedule – Start anytime, pause anytime, finish at your own pace.
✨ Perfect for all levels – From beginner scrapbookers to seasoned pros, this retreat works for everyone.
I came away feeling so inspired and full of new scrapbooking ideas for future projects.
As you can see in the photo below, the kit is packed with a wide range of products and supplies. Each page is pre-cut and individually packaged to make it easy to create the pages—you just open up a bag and follow the video! That makes it ideal for scrapbooking for beginners who want everything ready to go, while still offering plenty of inspiration and creativity for crafters of all levels.
