Aug 26, 2014 | Big Shot, Cards, Thank You |
The Big Shot special this month includes a free bundle of a stamp set and coordinating Framelits when you purchase a Big Shot. Or you can get the bundles at a discount. This card uses one of those bundles and has been very popular at my classes this month.
I used the Floral Framelits and the Daydream Medallion and the colors are Crisp Cantaloupe and Soft Suede.
I’m trying to post from my phone so we shall see how this works.

Aug 25, 2014 | Big Shot, Birthday, Cards |
For the month of August there is a BIG SHOT special going on. Read more about it here. So my next few days of posts are going to be Big Shot projects. This first one features the Starburst Framelits and I’ve created a shaped card.

I also used the Circle Framelits to cut a window in the front of the card and the ring of Designer Paper.

This is what the inside looks like

A fun shaped card! Try making a shaped card with other framelits. Cut your card base and score it. Fold it in half and then position the framelit so it doesn’t cut all the way through the folded edge. It’s that easy!

Stamp, Scrap & Create Retreat
Sept. 25 – 28, 2014
Just a little sneak peek of one of the Make & Take projects….

Are you ready to get away from it all? Leave behind the family, the laundry, the cooking, the cleaning and come join us for a fun Stamp, Scrap & Create Retreat.
Join us at Monika’s House Sept 25-28, 2014.
There are a few changes – we are going to start on Thursday evening – come set up your craft space, bring an appetizer to share with everyone and hang out by the fire on Thursday evening – I’ll even have fix-in’s for s’mores. During the day Friday (if you don’t have to go to work or are otherwise committed) come work on your personal projects. Lunch will also be on your own (there are lots of places near by). We’ll officially start on Friday evening with dinner for everyone. Make & Takes will be scheduled for Friday night and Saturday. All meals included on Saturday. And we’ll have games and prizes Saturday night! Finish up on Sunday and pack up and head back home in the early afternoon. We have three Make & Take projects planned as part of the retreat – everyone will receive a Goody Bag with supplies and extras.
Bring whatever creative projects you would like to work on. You will have table space set up for the whole weekend – so bring your scrap-booking, card making, knitting, laptop for My Digital Studio, bring your sewing machine if you want to sew – the choice is yours.
We plan to feed you and pamper you with little surprises throughout the weekend! Games & Prizes too!
I have some space in my house if you want to spend the night here instead of going home or there is a hotel one exit south just a few minutes away. I have a couple of Queen beds upstairs, a queen and single sleeper sofa in the basement, some sofa space, and some air beds for the floor. Or stay as late as you want in the evening – go sleep at home and come back in the morning!
We will send out a schedule and list of what you need to bring in mid Sept. A non-refundable deposit of $25 is due with your registration form by Sept 10th – this holds your spot. We will be ordering supplies after the deposits are received. The remainder of the money is due by Sept 20th.
Spots are LIMITED – we are only opening this event up to 14 people! So reserve your spot today!
CLICK HERE to get the registration form. *** REGISTRATION IS OPEN ***
Cindy and I (Monika) hope to see you there!
