Keeping Busy

Some call it work, I call it play and I am blessed to be able to play everyday!!!

I borrowed this from https://simplybarbmann.stampinup.net/ on Pinterest. 

Thanks Barb, so fun to make.

I borrowed the idea for this card from Pinterest, also and put

my own twist on it.

Another card using Stampin Up products

Well, I got a little crafty and creative doing what I love to do!!! The best part of playing is when I get to play with my friends. I wonder if it is considered and "Adult Play Day"? Anyways, it is always good to fellowship with friends.
I have some awesome little grandkids who love to receive mail,  so Nana has been sending some to them.

  I received the new Heartfelt Creations "Cherry Blossom Retreat Collection" the other day and proceeded to create something with it. I used a can which I covered with rolled magazine paper, distressed it with Distressed Oxide Ink and covered it with Heartfelt Cherry Blossom's.

Our Wednesday card group made these cards using Stampin Up products.

YES, I'm still here and still creating.

These cards were made using digital scrapbooking, Stampin Up,

Heartfelt, watercolor, embossing and whatever else we come up with.

I'm really slacking in that I have made 

birthday cards, 4th of July and anniversary cards

and have forgotten to take pictures.

FUN, FUN, TIME AT RETREAT!!!

We had sooooo  much fun fellowshipping, creating, learning, sharing, eating and laughing.

We made a stationary gift box, shared cards and techniques, played games and stayed up late having a super good time.  Eleven awesome gals and four days of fun.

Here are some of the things we made.

Miscellaneous Fall and Christmas creations that we recently made.

More fall and Christmas items being made.

I had soooooo much fun making this card. It is a "napkin fold" card.

Here is a link to making one.

My card varied some by embellishing it with Heartfelt Delicate Asters stamps and dies.

Stampin Up DSP and butterflies.

I placed a "Kick-stand" on the back of the card so it could stand and I

put a tealight candle in the center.

It works great for a night light!

Here is one more masculine card I put together using Stampin Up products

and tin foil then distressing with StazOn ink
