Scrapbooking Retreat at Pens and Needles Lakeside, Detroit Lakes, MN

 OK, so this past weekend I made a trip back to MN for a Scrapbooking Retreat with my 5 Sisters and Mom, along with some neices, a cousin and great friends!  What can I say there is nothing like 3 days of pure scrappin' and card making.  What a great time!  Above is a photo of just some of the fun, the wrapping up of a Stampin' Up! workshop put on by my newest recruit (my Mom) and in the back a Tastefully Simply demonstration....we never had a dull moment.

 Pens and Needles Lakeside is such a wonderful place, just LOOK at the design studio!  Each person has an 8 foot table for crafting on...it may look like a mess, but many pages were done in just 3 days!  And some come for the fun and company and do there digital scrapbooking....actually, I wonder if they might just come for the good food and beverage...  :-)  hehehe!

 Here are some of the pages we did, we voted on who had the best layout, those in the picture all tied for 2nd and 3rd places...

 And here is our group, the Design DIVA'S, what a CREATIVE BUNCH!

Cindy, Mary, Marlene, Renee, Colleen, Trish, Karen, Leanne

Let's Sale-a-brate!

Wow, it's been a LONG time since I have posted to my blog!  My apologies....I will try to keep up better.  Here is a card I whipped up last night with some new things I just ordered.  Oh, and I HAD to try out my NEW Big Shot!  I really think I am going to love this thing.  Enjoy!

Friend to Friend

Hello, again!  I know it's been a while, I will try to keep posting.  So, here is a simple card I put together using the Because I Care, level one hostess set.  I used Basic Pearls and Old Olive satin ribbon to dress up the simple design.  ENJOY!

"Hope You Can Cling To" Stamping Campaign for Breat Cancer Awareness Month

So, I created this card in Honor of Breast Cancer awareness month for the "Hope You Can Cling To" Campaign on Splitcoast Stampers.  The Challenge was to Bring in the Brown. 


I used the Upsy Daisy set (#111710) on a Chocolate Chip base.  I used the Scallop Trim Border Punch (#118402) and the Scallop Edge Border Punch (#119882) along with Play Date DSP (#117168), 5/8" Pretty in Pink Satin Ribbon (#117289), 5/8" Whisper White Grosgrain Ribbon (#119958), Hemp Twine (#100982) and an Antique Brad (#117273) to accessorize my card.  I also used a sponge and some stitching on the ribbon.  ENJOY!
