On a personal note – I sent our daughter, Kaitlin off on Friday morning to DCI for the next two months. I did really well and only teared up as I checked her in at the airport and only got one set of “eye rolls” when I said text and send pictures a bunch of times. After all I’m going to miss the kid and the little stacks of junk laying all over the house that I trip over when she is home.
She was both excited and feeling overwhelmed with packing. I can honestly say mom was a bit too – trying to get the required 30 pairs of sock and underwear along with all the other items into one suit case was a hoot! (She was flying which added to the stress since the bag couldn’t be more than 50 pounds!) The enthusiastic picture above was the first of three times we pack things into the suit case.
Thankfully one of the vets took pity on the rookies and sent a picture of what she took with her so we were able to add a duffle bag for the sleeping bag and sleep mat and water cooler!
Kailtin will be marching with the Seattle Cascades and touring the country this summer on a bus (I think the show schedule shows 19 cities in 30 days!) Seriously, she says this will be fun and worth every penny. I know that it will be a experience of a lifetime, but really 2 months of sleeping in gyms floors and traveling packed in a bus…..hmmm.
We’ll be able to see her perform when she comes to Atlanta and performs at the Dome in July. Of course, I wanted to have a little reminder of home while she is away so I made some special tags for her bags for her. I couldn’t resist 🙂
She seemed especially pleased with the music theme and the way these turned out since I let her choose the color. I simply took a piece of black cardstock, scored it so that her information was hidden on the inside and decorated.

Check out these make ‘n takes from my recent Blue Mountain Weekend. I just love this little Sprinkles of Life stamp set (139971) and coordinating punch Tree Builder (138295). Do you see the striped pattern behind the cone? It’s our NEW Envelope Paper – yep, you can use it for your cards too! Which makes it a great choice since it’s so versatile and such fun to use with the Envelope Punch Board (133774) too.
And this second card uses the Butterfly Basics Stamp set (138813/138816/137154) that you can find in the 2015 Annual Catalog and the yummy New 2015 In Color Watermelon Wonder.
Check out the coordinating envelope I made using the NEW 2015 In Color Envelope Paper (138312) and the Envelope Liners Framelits (132172). Fun right?
And this final card uses the same Watermelon Wonder 1″ Dotted Lace Trim (138425)…..Love it! It’s so versatile and ties wonderfully.

Pampering and pillow gifts continued through out the retreat – Saturday morning everyone received their goodie bag, or in this case Berry Baskets filled with items for the weekend’s Make ‘n Takes. Since the new 2015 Catalog had not gone live yet this was a huge hit since it contained some of the NEW 2015 In Color Dotted Dotted Lace Trim and Envelope Paper!
Isn’t the Berry Basket Die (137366) cute? I cut it first using Always Artichoke card stock and then ran through the Designer Series Paper pieces for just the sides. The cute little coordinating bow was made using the Bow Builder Punch (137414) and another pattern from the Designer Series Paper Stack. Love this option for Designer Series Paper – our stacks make it easy to mix and match like this since they contain 4 of each pattern. And with the new 6×6 option you can do even more!
And of course – here are some more of the little treats from the weekend.
I love this little Hot Diggity Dot Stamp Set (134021/134024) and it’s sayings and of course, the fry box was filled with what else? Hugs and Kisses of course! The fry box was made with our NEW 2015 In Color Watermelon Wonder and the Fry Box Die (132966). If you want to learn how I made this, you can click HERE to see my video tutorial.
And the final project I’m sharing today had a little extra special something inside – Can you guess what it was?
The petite purse held a scissors charm using our Something Borrowed Embellishments from the 2015 Occasions Catalog!
Now I know that these embellishments are retired at this point – but these scissor charms were so much fun to make I thought I’d share how I made them with you in my How to Make Scissors Charms Video Tutorial.
Easy right? And once you get started there are all kinds of combinations you can make. What fun I had designing these for our guests! Oops, I slipped in my tutorial and let the cat out of the bag – since I’ve made the blue scissor charms for my team members, the Blue Mountain Stampers and our retreat this coming weekend. Shhh…don’t tell them…LOL!
Here is a final picture of all the pillow gifts from the retreat.
Want to see the Make ‘n Takes everyone made on Saturday? Stop on by tomorrow when I’ll share the three projects with you.
And why not leave me a comment and let me know which pillow gift is your favorite? I’d love to hear from you.

The end of May my friend Anna and I held our first retreat and it seemed to be a hit with those who attended. It’s taken me a bit but today I thought I’d share some pictures and projects from the retreat from May 29th.
As everyone arrived we had a special name tag on their table along with a New 2015-2016 Annual Catalog, In Color bookmark, flags to mark their pages and a pen decorated with the Cherry On Top Designer Series Paper Stack to use with their wish list and of course a special coupon.
And of course everyone needed a little something chocolate as the night went on. After all we needed to keep our strength up as we crafted into the wee hours of the night. LOL – sounds good at least, after all do we really need a reason for chocolate?
This little bag was a lot of fun to make and they are quick and easy once you know the trick. The Pansy Punch that I used is part of this week’s Weekly Deals.
I’ve made a video tutorial to share how I made these Self Closing Bags using some of our new Cherry On Top Designer Series Paper. Why not check it out? The complete list of supplies used in the tutorial is listed below for you.
Of course, we really enjoyed making these little goodies and pampering our guests and so we’ll look forward to doing another retreat soon. So that’s great news if you missed our first retreat. We’ll be setting a date sometime soon – Just watch for more information coming soon and of course, you can always keep up to date with what’s happing when you join my Monthly Newsletters list.
It’s getting late, so stop on back by tomorrow when I’ll be sharing some more of the projects, photos and another video tutorial for a project from the retreat with you.

Recently I had the opportunity to stamp with a lovely group of ladies during a private party. Not only did my Hostess, Becky get to earn some items on her wish list with her Stampin’ Rewards, but everyone was able to make a couple of cards to take home with them.
Of course the NEW stamp set Sprinkles of Life (139971) and it’s coordinating Tree Builder Punch (138295) was a natural choice. I love this set not only is it versatile but when you purchase it you’ll be helping families who have to stay in the Ronald McDonald House since Stampin’ Up! donated $3 for every set sold. How great is that?
And everyone also created a card using a Paper Pumpkin kit – called Seriously Amazing. Everything is included in the Paper Pumpkin kit and refills make it easy to make more of the great projects.
Here is the kit and yes everything you need is in this great little package!
It was a lot of fun seeing what everyone created with the same kit contents.
Check out this great card – fun right?

With the NEW 2015 – 2016 Annual Catalog there are even more great NEW framelits offered and love to use our Clear Mount Cases (item 119105) to store them in.
So I’ve updated my Famelits Organization Printables. What is that you may ask? Well it is a FREE printable download for you to use to help organize your Framelits.

You can click HERE to see a video on how to use the printable file and how I’ve used these labels in my craft room.
Some of our framelits are too large for our Clear Mount Cases but since I don’t have them all (yes, it’s true LOL) I’ve included ones I wasn’t sure of. If I missed something please let me know. 🙂

It’s that time of year again. I love when the new catalog arrives since it gives me a reason to reorganize my crafting space. After all what feels better than a stamping space that makes things easy for you to create?
So here are some tools for you to use….. First my Designer Series Paper Chart – this chart keeps everything in one place for you so you can refer easily to what colors are needed or what colors you already have on hand. I like to post this where I can see it. I know that Stampin’ Up! has printed the names on the packages of Designer Series Paper, but that would mean I have to pull each one to look.
2015 – 2016 Annual Catalog Designer Series Paper Chart (printable PDF)
(I’ve actually started printing 2 of these – one I have where I can refer to it easily and the second I cut and attach to the outside of each folder I keep my Designer Series Paper in.)
Want labels? How about a printable Avery labels 5167 for your card stock? I use these for my hanging file folders.
2015 File Folder Labels (printable PDF)
New In Color and ink pads need labels too, and while I love the labels Stampin’ Up! provides, I like a little extra something to help things easily go back where they belong. These next labels I use to label my ink pads and storage drawers or anything else I want to use them for. They can be printed on Avery labels 5160 and punched out using our Word Window Punch.
They fit nicely on the end of your ink pads so that you’ve got a label on both sides. I also use them on my storage for daubers, sponges, and refills. (You can click HERE to see a video of how I store things.)
