Hello Stampin’ Friends ~

I am back!!

It’s been a busy few weeks getting ready for retreat and quite the challenge getting in the new stamp sets/bundles and getting the cards created for the retreat but we did it and the cards turned out lovely. I will share a few in the upcoming days however today I’ll take you back to the beginning (well, almost!)

Not only do I design and cut cards for retreat but we create special gifts for our guests … here I am working on the name tags and welcome gifts.

The “Door Tags” were created with the new Creating with You bundle … I gave them a “chalk board” look with the die cut easel and the Fancy Flora Designer Series paper. It was the perfect choice!!

There is a reason I chose the Easel from the Creating with You ….

The Mantle Gifts …. each retreat we decorate the mantle with a cute little gift that highlights a product out of the catalog. For this one I used the Cheerful Basket Bundle. I’m going to miss that “crafting” stamp for sure … it retires and today is the last day to purchase it before it’s gone.

Here’s one side of the fireplace with our mantle gifts on them ….

I will be back to share more fun & shenanigans from our retreat. Just a reminder that the Annual Catalog and the Mini Catalog retire today. If you want anything out of those catalogs, make sure your purchase by the end of the day ….

Thank you so much from stopping by… I’ll be back tomorrow with more.

Have a great day ~

Linda
