As I mentioned yesterday I held my team retreat last weekend. It was 3 wonderful days of fellowship, stamping, and laughter. As usual I was a bit remiss in taking photos of us together during the event. (Note to self put a sticky note out to remind me next time. since I get side tracked easily at these events. LOL). But you are in luck because I did take photos of some of the project everyone was working on.
Our group was a bit smaller than normal but that didn’t slow us down any. Actually it was kind of nice since we were able to spread out. You know how it goes 6 feet is never enough space with all those new goodies! Here is a photo of the space set up and ready for everyone to arrive.
Deborah brought this cute little treat for everyone made with the Lemon Zest Bundle (145359/145360).
I can’t wait to make some of these up myself to surprise folks with – that is if I can find the lemon candies. (3 stores already and no luck! Sigh… maybe it is the eclipse and they’ve gone the way of moon pies!)
She also brought this cute little bag she was working on using the Painted Autumn Designer Series Paper (144613) and Spooky Cat Stamp Set (144749).
And do you see the yummy Basic Black Vintage Crochet Trim (144611)? I can’t wait to start working with it!
And Cindy made these wonderful little post it holders for everyone.
On to cards – Want to see some of the wonderful cards we made in our shoe box swap?
Anna’s uses a couple of the new products from the Holiday Catalog.
I just love the Winter Wonder Embossing Folder (144686), snowflakes are my thing any how, but this card was soooo quick and easy perfect for holiday cards!
And Deborah’s is a new twist on the ever popular Swirly Bird Stamp Set (141749).
And my card – of course it uses the Musical Season Bundle (146048/146049) and Merry Music Specialty Designer Series Paper (144623).
I love the way the french horn cuts out of the Champagne Foil Paper (144748). You may see this one turn up at my catalog launch (watch for more information coming soon.)
And how about this final card that Cindy made using the Painted Harvest stamp set from the Holiday Catalog. Soft and lovely – I knew I’d end up wanting this bundle when I saw her working with things at the retreat!
And here is a fun note card that Anna surprised me with for my promotion using the Icing on the Cake Stamp Set (143664). I was admiring it while she was stamping but had no clue it was for me – what a surprise!
I have such wonderful stamping friends and team members!
And last but not least how about this cute little thank you card made with the Bella & Friends stamp set (141867/141870)?
So what do you think? Love the new items too in my 2017 Holiday Catalog PreOrder Goodies Video from yesterday (Click HERE to see the video) and today’s projects? It’s just a peek of what’s inside the 2017 Holiday Catalog! And as I am sure you can guess, being the first to see this new catalog or any of our new catalogs is a very exciting AND a huge perk of being a Demonstrator – after all who wouldn’t want to be first? Right! Add the fact that you’ll receive a discount on all these products and you can’t loose!

Once again, so enjoyed these creations and thank you for sharing…. where are the products and instructions for making that tiny box? have a great weekend
Dottie,
Just wanted to let you know I haven’t forgotten about the tutorial. I’ve been working on getting caught up and hope to get it on the blog by next week sometime. Being without power for almost a week really slows down stamping
The Painted Harvest card – Do you know what colors are used to make it? It is so soft and pretty, and I am thinking peekaboo peach for the base, but can’t quite come up with the detail…maybe flirty flamingo? Is the foliage maybe pear pizzazz?
Barbara, to answer your questions about Cindy’s card. The colors are Peekaboo Peach and Calypso Coral I believe. And you are correct about the Pear Pizzazz.
Beautiful Cards! The French Horn Card – what is the scroll work on the horn?
Sharon the scroll work is from one of the stamp in the set. I simply used Copper Embossing Powder and VersaMark after I cut it out with the Big Shot.
Thank you
