Paper Crafting Blog Hop Meant To Be

February 19, 2020February 19, 202018 Comments

I hope you are enjoying our Sale-A-Bration themed Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrators Blog Hop. Fellow demonstrators from all over the globe are participating so we have a wide array of fun projects to share with you! You may have arrived from Maureen’s blog. She had a fabulous project!

I picked the Sale-A-Bration designer Series Paper Lily Impressions and used a lot of it! A mat, for punching and a layer are all from the same package. The Sale-A-Bration Small Blossom punch is tucked under the bow.

Day or Weekend in the Country Retreats

February 9, 2020Leave a comment

Sometimes, you just need to take a day in the country for yourself. Enjoy the crisp, country air and sights around the pond at Cattail Retreats. Partake in good foods and get as little sleep as you want to. It’s ok, you can craft the night away!

Here is the view from the craft room…the bright light in the greenery is the pond which changes with each season. Work on your favorite crafting projects while you spread out on your own table.

Here is what you will feel like after your day in the woods retreat…Ok, so this was after 3 days on the most recent October weekend retreat. Lots of sewing, scrapbooking, card kit making and decor crafts happened prior to this photo:)

February 21-23, 2020 is the next weekend retreat. Arrive anytime after 10am on Friday and depart by 3pm on Sunday. Cost is $120 per person. Can you only stay for the day? Then the cost is $25 per day. We coordinate meals with breakfast on your own. Then 1-2 people provide, prepare and clean up for the lunch and dinner for Friday and Saturday. Sunday is leftovers.

It’s a 30 minute drive to Cattail Retreat in Poynette with short commute up the interstate. The house is about a mile from the interstate and is easy to find.

The website for Cattail can be found by clicking here.

August 7-9, 2020 and October 23-25, 2020 are also reserved at Cattails.

Please contact me to reserve your spot and receive further details.

Thanks and hope to share a retreat soon with you!

A Twisted Design

When I want to create something a little different, I review Kelly Gettelfinger’s Youtube video sharing her original design for a twisted card. Then I get out my score board and start scoring!

Here is my updated version using Sale-A-Bration designer series paper.

The design creates pockets to tuck a treasure.
