Happy Monday, y’all. Hope that’s not an oxymoron for you! 🙂
Well. It happened. After weeks and weeks of anticipation and prep – the first session from our Krew Retreat 2025 is over. Done. Kaput.
Amy and I are knocking around the house today – might go check out the apple orchards that are nearby. But…our ladies from the first round of our retreats this year are all home and wishing James was making their meals!
Good morning, y’all! It’s Thursday – which means it’s time for another Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop. We’ve got a color challenge to work with and I’m excited to see what everyone brings to the table. I just know you’re going to see a ton of awesome-ness on the hop today!
The color palette today made me think Kintsugi Inspirations so – I went with that! I pulled out the coordinating Inspiring Imperfections bundle and the uber-cool Joined Together 3D Embossing Folder to create a serene thank you card. Take a look-see:
Good morning, y’all! It’s Thursday – which means it’s time for another Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop. We’ve got a sketch challenge to work with and I’m excited to see what everyone brings to the table. I just know you’re going to see a ton of awesome-ness on the hop today!
I thought this was a good time to pull out the new Online Exclusive Celebratory Sips suite – with its fun Cheers & Sips bundle and Celebratory Sips DSP! I used it all to make a card that would work for a special event or a birthday!! :). Take a look-see:
Happy First Monday in NOT Daylight Savings. Did you enjoy the “extra” hour of sleep? Yes? Well – I hope you ALSO love it being dark at 3 this afternoon.
Okay – SLIGHT exaggeration but…not much! I HATE standard time – and don’t mind sharing my disgust. 😡
Well. It happened. After weeks and weeks of anticipation and prep – the Krew Retreat 2023 is over. Done. Kaput.
All the ladies have returned home. No. More. James.
Good morning and happy Sunday! Did y’all have a good time on the WCMD events yesterday? I hope so – I know we had a great time bringing it to you! SO many pretty projects and ideas!
With Hanukkah starting soon, I wanted to show y’all a card that you could make using the new-to-Stampin’ UP! Celebrate the Miracle stamp set – so that’s what I did – and it was the first card I shared yesterday! I paired it with some pretty Shining Brightly Specialty DSP. Take a look-see:
Good morning from…slightly soggy Jacksonville! The rain has stopped here – in fact we had a pretty rain-free and easy drive down once we got out of Atlanta – but…there’s lots of water standing around! We’re kicking off OnStage Local this morning and I’m ready to rock and roll!
Amy and I had fun at CenterStage last night and…maybe you’re interested in the new Jan – Apr 2023 Mini Catalog and the Jan – Feb 2023 Sale-a-Bration catalog?
I bet you are – and here’s a look-see. All I can share is the cover right now – but…it’s not nothing, right?! 😉
Here’s the Jan – Apr 2022 Mini Catalog Front….
Good morning, y’all! Well – as is ALWAYS the case with our Critters/Inkin Krews retreats – the weekend has FLOWN by! I can’t believe we’re headed to breakfast and a little more stamping and chatting and then…we’ll be hitting the road until NEXT YEAR!! 🙂 Maybe YOU’ll be joining us next year? This is a great time to join the team – what with the amazing Starter Kit Plus Promotion going on right now! And – you could be poised to snag a spot at the retreat next year (after enjoying your demo discount all year long!!). Just throwing that out there! 😉
We had a bunch of amazing projects this weekend – and I’ll be sharing them with you tomorrow. Mine is the subject of today’s card share! I did a Faux side step card – using the gorgeous Framed Florets bundle and the coordinating Framed & Festive stamp set! Some Fitting Florets DSP formed the base – and gave me a wunnermus flower! Take a look-see:
Happy Monday! I’m home and Amy and Karen are home and all the other Kool Krew members are home or on their way. We had SUCH a good time – and are already planning for a late October 2022 retreat at The Crafty Elk Lodge! We decided that we’d try to go in the Fall when it was lovely and cool in the N. GA mountains so we could take even better advantage of the outdoor fireplaces and seating areas!!
Hey guys – happy Sunday! Normally we’d have gotten together last night on a FB video – but…BACKSTAGE happened (and was awesome!). I learned a lot – if you get a chance, search for Dana Wylde (Train Your Brain) and Carey Lohrenz (Span of Control). Amazing women!
Want to remind you that we’re doing a cool Check Out The Krew event this afternoon/evening! It’s going to be fun – with lots of info about joining Stampin’ Up!, Prize patrols, and even a ZOOM-based “meet & greet”! Scroll down for the links and get approved into the Facebook group right away so you don’t miss a thing!
Okay – on to my card! This one leans heavily on the fun Gingerbread & Peppermints Memories & More Card Pack and Cards & Envelopes! All I had to add was the Frosted Gingerbread bundle. Take a look-see:
