Hello ladies and gents!
My apologies for my week of blogging, but I've been an insanely crazy busy girl! However, to make up for it this week, my posts will have extra samples in them!
Last week I had several activities with my kids (including the "my changing body" meeting with my daughter…how can she be that old????), a class and I left Thursday afternoon for my Downline Retreat at my Cabin in Harper's Ferry. It was a lot!
We had a great time at the downline retreat–but just about everything that could go wrong did: I was stuck in my driveway from the moment I got there (it took 1 1/2 hours to get out with the help of the neighbor and his family, Deb, Kris, and Pamela and a lot of re-purposed gravel!
I couldn't get the water turned on when I arrived…it was frozen…which led to the first of 2 sessions of peeing in a cup (aren't you glad I am sharing!)
A pipe froze overnight and we woke up to no water on Sunday morning, I thought a pipe had burst, but after Andy drove up to investigate, it does not appear to be a burst pipe! Whew!!
Enough of that…here is some of the fun stuff we made while up there:
I had several projects for the girls to make (similar to my all day stamping events) Here are a few of the things they made:
I love this one because it combines some of my favorite elements into one: First Edition Printed paper, Punch Pack, Butterflies, Pool Party and Bling! I used the Curly Cute and Oh Hello Stamp sets, Very Vanilla, Tangerine Tango, Pool Party, Daffodil Delight, Large Scallop Edgelit, Sycamore Street Ribbon, Butterfly Punch, Punch Pack, Rhinestones.
Again my love for butterflies, Punch Pack, Bling and the striking color of BLack! This uses the Labels Framelits, Oh Hello Set, Festive Paper Piercing- Pack, Punch Pack, Bloomin Marvelous Sale-a-bration set, Black, Tempting Turquoise, Rich Razzleberry, and Old Olive Ink and Cardstock, White and Sahara Sand Cardstock and some more Rhinestones.
This is a beautiful card that I copied from somewhere…I'm not even sure where at this point, but I do love it!! It uses the Alhambra Jumbo Wheel, Everything Eleanor stamp set, Hearts A Flutter Stamp SEt and coordinating Framelits, Flower Trim, Jumbo Pearls, Little Labels Punch Pack, Small Heart Punch and the Two-Tone Ribbon. Colors are Crumb Cake, Pool Party, Cherry Cobbler, Pink Pirouette, and Very Vanilla. Oh so Pretty!!
