Quick Tags

Here are a few of the tags I came up with for retreat. Tags are a cute way to dress up your gift or goodies but quicker than a card. They will come with silver cord to tie them to your gift. Tags will be in sets of 10 for $1.50.

Holiday Layout Class

Here is the second layout I will be offering for the retreat classes. This class is $5 and will be on Saturday. Just let me know if you want one but can't make it and I will set a kit aside for you!

Make and Take

This is the make and take I will be doing for the demonstrator meeting at Lindsey's house tomorrow night. I used versa mark on the river rock and thought it turned out cool. I haven't used versa mark in a long time!
I want to do something with this stamp set for Emily's party next Saturday as well. I think it is such a cute set...I borrowed it from Linsdey! Maybe this will be yet another set that I need to get!

Colors: Really rust, Wild wasabi, river rock, very vanilla and versa mark. Wild wasabi double stitched ribbon and true friend stamp set.

Prices

Okay so I figured out the pricing for the classes so far and here they are:
Coasters- set of 4: $6 (with felt circles on the bottom corners)
Magnets -set of 4: $3 or set of 8: $5
Scrapbook Layout (fall, family or thanksgiving): $5
Let me know if you have any questions!

Friday's Scrapbook Class: Layout in 15 minutes or less!

Imagine some really cute pictures on here!!! :) There will be pictures across the green on both pages (3 pictures of 3 x 3 or 2 of 3 x 5) and a 4 x 6 picture on the 2 rust areas. We will also be putting more photo corners as you need them. This will be the layout offered at the friday class at retreat. I thought this would make a darling family, fall or thanksgiving layout! Cost for this kit will be $5 in 12 x 12. Let me know if you want an 8.5 x 11 and I will make a smaller kit for you. This layout is very quick and easy as the chipboard "f" or "t" will already be cut and ready to stick on. I made this layout to be put together in 15 minutes!!! Then you can add pictures when you get them developed or if you already have fall or family pictures you can add them after! Sign up now for this cute but quick layout!
If you can't make it to retreat on Friday let me know and I can make a kit and set it aside for you!

Magnets

Here are some examples of the tile magnets we will be making at retreat. They are 2 x 2 tiles and they will be offered in sets of 4. The possibilities are endless. You can make 4 of the same or 4 different, and make whatever you want! . They are super fast and very easy. They take a while to dry so it will be perfect for retreat. You can stamp the images (taking all of...oh 3 minutes) and get back to your scrapping while they dry!!! I have some halloween magnets on my fridge (my sister made them and that's where I got the idea) and I LOVE them. They actaully hold things under them!!! Very easy and a fun gift as well. Here are some other magnets that you can use for just about anything!

Winter Wonderland Retreat

Lindsey and I will be posting projects on our blog that will be offered in classes at retreat. If you are interested in any of the projects let us know and we'll be happy to add you to the class! There will be several classes you can join like tile coasters, scrapbook layouts, tags, bag toppers, containers and stuff, framed art, stamp-a-stack of Christmas cards, mini album gift and more. Cost for the classes will vary by class. Or for those of you that have enough going on already you can come and get caught up on your latest projects! Or if you are like me you just close the gap with getting caught up...I am never "caught up!" :) Retreat will be in cabins in Latham Springs (just outside West, Texas). It is $60 which includes your room and board, all meals, fun games, an awesome goody-bag, great company, a secret sister exchange, and some surprises! It is so much fun you won't want to miss it! Saturday only is $35 and includes everything but the room and board...you still get the great goody bag!

Tile Coasters for Retreat: Paisley set of 4

I LOVE the paisley stamp and think these turned out darling. I love the antique look that the tile gives the stamp. These pictures don't really capture how cute they really are! I guess you'll have to trust me! These coasters are so easy to make and are a fun and thoughtful gift. You are welcome to use different stamps if you want to change them up or personalize them.

Supersize Snowflake Set

I used stazon ink pads and clear embossing powder. There is a matte finish spray to make sure there is moisture resistance. The bottom of the coasters will have felt circles to prevent the coasters from scratching tables or surfaces. I think these turned out really cute and even like them with a little word or something in the blank corner.

A little change!

Okay so I redid the title on the cousins layout and added a few things cause everytime I scrolled past that layout it bothered me. I think I like it a lot better now!

Winter Kick

Okay so I am on a roll with winter pictures! I found these pictures in my box and thought it would be fun to scrap our first Christmas together. These pictures were the only ones taken so I wanted to make sure and get the page done. I can't believe that this December will be our 7 year anniversary. That is CRAZY! Time has flown by, especially these past 2 years, and I couldn't be happier. I am married to the best man! :)

Used: see layout below! plus red gingham ribbon and always artichoke!

Snow Layout

I love these pictures! It made me miss the snow but then when my sister-in-law told me it was 50 degrees in Utah I remembered how cold the snow is and then I was okay! I do miss my family but that is a given. Especially since we won't be going home for Christmas this year. I have never had a Christmas away from them so this will be a first.
I used the retired "All the Trimmings" scrappin kit. These kits are so FUN!

Colors used: Real Red, Night of Navy, Brocade Blue and Whisper White. Red grosgrain ribbon.
