Whew, it has been a very busy last couple of weeks!! I have done tons of projects, just not enough time to post -- so sorry! I will try to make it up with lots of pictures today. I am still working on my granddaughter's album for graduation open house, so I'll show a 2-page layout I did this weekend.
Speaking of this weekend, I got to attend Ronda Wade's Creative Retreat for 3 days of solid enjoyment stamping and taking classes. Ronda only does this twice a year, so for me it really is a "retreat" to get away from home and be pampered (no cooking, cleaning, or answering the phone)!! Between Ronda and our co-host Tamie Ackerson, they wine and dine us from Friday through Sunday with tons of gifts and games included. I am also posting a few pictures of our pillow gifts and make'n takes (all included in the price -- woohoo!!).
First, here are 2 more album pages completed for Holly's album:
 |
| This picture really doesn't show up the ink sprayed on the background -- it is much brighter in real life. You will recognize mostly discontinued Stampin' Up product on these pages (e.g., designer paper, brads), but I did get a chance to use the new Stampin' Spritzers to apply the ink splatters. |
 |
| A close up of the left page, which looks better if you enlarge (right click on picture and select "open in new window"). |
 |
| Right page enlarged. These pictures of Holly were taken by a school classmate, who used Holly as her model for the photography class she was taking. |
 |
| This is our Creative Escape bag we all received at retreat, filled with Stampin' Up product. The dress-up card was my name tag for my table, and the other three items were pillow gifts (Petite Pocket had Daffodil Delight Stitched Grosgrain Ribbon inside, the purse has chocolate inside, and the Daffodil Delight flower was attached to a container of Silver Soda Pop Tops. |
 |
| Two of our make'n takes. So cute!! |
 |
| More Stampin' Up product in our goodie bag!! |
 |
| The gift card holder was another make'n take and the soda pop top was another pillow gift from Ronda and Tamie (so beautiful in real life). |
Thank you Ronda and Tamie for an awesome weekend!! I have a few more pictures that I will show in my next post.
Until next time,
Sandi
