Bears, Pine Trees, and Ground Squirrels!

I know it's a silly title, but I just returned from my retreat to Big Bear Lake in Southern California and oh, what a retreat it was. We stamped and snacked and rooted for our favorite team during the World Series (mine was, of course, the Giants!). We had a blast and we were all so sad when it ended.

When I got home from Big Bear, I unpacked my bags and admired all the cute things I made. Here are a few of the things I created. So much fun!

This cute card looks like a box when it's opened, but it folds flat and when the receiver opens it . . . poof! Cute pop up snow man! One of the other retreaters showed us how to make it and I'm so inspired. I think it would be a blast to make these for Valentine's Day or a great birthday card with flowers or maybe that cute bird set I love so much . . . anyway, I'm inspired!

This adorable banner was created with the cards from Picture My Life Pear and Partridge set, which can now be ordered without the page protectors and 12 x12 page. The really cool thing about these little cards is you can use them for more than scrapbooking! We saw all kinds of cards made with the Picture My Life cards as the focal point! The new price for the Picture My Life cards is only $8.95. What a deal!





These are a few of the cards that Sue L. made with the other cards in the set. So easy, so inexpensive. Tons of fun!

I know I could just keep posting and posting about all the fun stuff we made . . . but I'll spare you having to look through too much or your brain will be full like mine! :-)

More to come . . . .
I'm saving up for another retreat!
