This was my first Altenew retreat and it was one of my favorite crafting events ever! I will plan to attend more in the future! This one had such amazing products and were kits I probably wouldn't have chosen on my own, but am so glad to have. I learned so many new techniques and enjoyed the company of so many lovely crafty ladies!

Bang for your buck!
This is my third retreat with Altenew and I have loved every class and project that I have done with these retreats. The instructors go over the projects in details during their slots and you learn so many new tricks and tips when you see these live sessions that you can then incorporate into your cardmaking. I have loved every class and have made multiple cards from each of the classes that helps you hone your skills. Thank you Altenew for giving us this opportunity to learn. Many of the instructors are my favorite crafters and I am really inspired to learn from the best in the industry!
