Linda’s Stampin’ Escape Stamping Retreats | Linda's Stampin' Escape

Hello Stampin’ Friends ~

I am back from another wonderful Holiday Retreat … it was a great time shared with fabulous ladies once again. Our retreats are all inclusive, so their accommodations, meals and all their projects are all included.

Saturday was rainy, but we all agreed it was a good day for stamping … and listening to Christmas music. It really puts you in a “cheerful” mood.

We also host a “Swap” where each person brings enough cards for all participants and then vote on the one they like best. As always … the swap cards were great! I will be sharing them throughout the next couple of weeks, including a few of the projects that I created for them.

I will start with two cards today …

First I will share Patricia’s card. This is Patricia’s second time with us and she comes for the wonderful get-a-way, stamping, and to spend time with her sister.

Christmas really is the most wonderful time of year and you really feel that with Patricia’s Red & Green Card. I love the extra little glitter she added to her background stamp to glitz it up for us.

The next card is from Dawn …

Dawn hand cut her cute little mittens and then topped them off with the glitter glue and Silver Glimmer paper!! This is just the sweetest little card and I love the added rhinestones colored red. I think our Rhinestones and Sharpies are best friends.

Keep checkin’ in for more swap cards and projects from our Holiday Retreat. In fact … you should think about joining us for our Spring Retreat!! Save the Date … April 22nd, 23rd and 24th. Make sure you are signed up on my MAILING LIST … You can sign up right from my blog > It’s located in the lower right-hand corner of the Black Banner on the top of this page.

Thank you for dropping by today ~

Hope you day is a great one!!

Hello Stampin’ Friends,

For those of you who followed my past few posts, you know that I was away at our second of two Spring Retreats. As the first, we had a wonderful time, plus we were blessed with a most beautiful weekend.

Yesterday I showed you how I set up my stamp room for our guests … here is a pic of our afternoon stamping session:

Our guests are creating one of the many projects we have prepared for them. All of our cards were created with different “folds” …

We take several breaks throughout the day … it feels good to stretch! Plus there is always a good meal waiting for them when they return to the house. Here is a shot of our last stamping session …

After this session we returned to the house for dessert and good conversation. It was a beautiful night, and just shy of the full moon. Got this shot coming out of the stamping area and returning to the house …

None of us can believe how fast the weekend goes! Just one more gathering around the table for breakfast before everyone heads home. Eileen and I pack up and head out too …

It’s kind of sad to see the room empty and the tables cleared off, but we had a good time and there’s always the Fall Retreat to look forward to.

A big “THANK YOU” to all that attended and thanks to you who followed us on the blog and my facebook page “Linda’s Stampin’ Escape”… we hope you enjoyed it.

Have a great week ~
