I'm back from Retreat!

I had so much fun in the Big Bear woods! The other retreaters and I crafted and made many fun projects. Here are just a few to share . . .

I made the Frosted card kit p. 69.
I think it would make an excellent card class. Stay tuned for a date/time and price. The kit in the catalog made 15 cards and it was a snap to make. And fun too! :-)

These are the Laughing Lola cards from the kit on page 68. Once again, I love kits and it was a snap to make these cards and they can be custom changed to match whatever card giving need you have. Love the colors and the stamp set is really versatile.
Sue L. showed us how to make this adorable card using the stamp of the month Scandinavian  Wishes


 This very fun project was provided by Kelly H. The lanterns were cut out using our newest Cricut cartridge, Artbooking. We folded them and used strips of background paper to cover the folds. Kelly even gave us a flameless candle (a real candle would be, um, not feasible). Beautiful!







Kathy showed us how to make this layout. The tree and photo blocks were cut out using the Artbooking CTMH Cricut Cartridge (I WANT this cartridge!!!!). The only difficult part was adhering it to the base page, but with a little bit of adhesive to hold it in place he was soon bolted down. LOL. I love the colors . . . the paper is from Huntington (p. 42 of the Fall/Winter catalog). Now all I need to do is develop some fun pictures to decorate the pages.

Maybe this one:

I'm ready for my next retreat!
