Welcome to the 6th Annual Lake Superior Stamp & Scrap Weekend Get-a-Way. Join Stamping to See You and a variety of other artisans on October 17-19, 2008, at the Beaver Bay Community Center ( new 2008 location at Hwy 61 and mile marker 51 above Lemon Wolf Restaurant).

We would like to invite you to spend some time, the day, or the entire weekend with us and enjoy the various scrapbook, papercraft, and stamping activities that are being held throughout the weekend. The Get-a-Way is designed to teach, demonstrate and educate stampers, scrapbookers, papercraft, and other artisans in the many facets of rubberstamp and scrapbook art. We hope you enjoy the relaxed and spacious atmosphere we have created, that your artistic cravings are satisfied, that you learn how to use various products, new techniques, meet other artisans with creative minds and enjoy the unique local atmosphere that this town offers.

The concept of the weekend is to combine learning, fun, socialization and open space for stampers and scrapbookers who want a weekend away to work on projects, to learn new techniques, and meet other artists with creative minds!
