Did you see this new cute bundle in the Stampin’ Up! catalog called Bike Ride? The Bike Ride stamp set has 24 images and its a 2-step stamping set where many of the images have an outline and then the filler. Plus it has a coordinating set of framelits – Build a Bike Framelits Dies.
My card was inspired by a door mat I found right around the time our new catalog started.
I have this at my front door to greet everyone that comes to class. I wonder how many realized we have a stamp set that matches.

Did you love the little table gifts I showed yesterday? I had a couple more to share with you.
This one is the tiny clear treat box – it is filled with ribbon that was used on Saturday’s projects and the top is decorated to match. A little bit of doily and a little bit of the dragonflies.
This one is a little bag with a spritzer in it. Everyone used that on their Saturday Make&Takes. The bag was one that I cut in half and glued the side shut to turn it into a mini bag.
Plus we had food and we played games and everyone won prizes. It was a great weekend. Here is the gang from the Spring Retreat.
Thanks for visiting. Remember to save the date for the Fall Retreat – Sept. 29 – Oct 1, 2017.

When you attend a Stampin’ Up! Incentive Trip one of the really exciting parts of the trip are the pillow gifts that they give you. On the trip each evening they leave a surprise on your bed. It is such a fun thing that I wanted it to be a part of my retreats too. In the beginning retreats were at my house and not everyone spent the night so I left them on each table at different times of the day – so I often call them pillow gifts but I should probably call them Table gifts. Fun little surprises throughout the weekend – for me it’s so much fun to do these.
To start with I like to start the retreat with a table gift waiting when everyone arrives and I like for it to have each attendee’s name on it. This year we started with a little cactus for everyone.
This time the little succulents became a cactus. These coordinated with the Friday Night Make&Takes.
Everyone received a little container made from Designer Series Paper filled with caramels. These also coordinated with our Friday night projects.
Another table gift was this fun box filled with giant Hershey deluxe kisses! Yum.
This one coordinated with the Saturday projects – the bumble bee is from the Dragonfly Dreams stamp set and the tag is watercolor washed in the background.
I’ll share the rest of the table gifts in my next post.
Thanks for visiting. Remember to save the date for the Fall Retreat – Sept. 29 – Oct 1, 2017.

Well I’m really behind on sharing about the Spring 2017 Stamp, Scrap & Create Retreat. It was a few months ago and I didn’t share about it on my blog then but I’m going to do that now. And be sure to save the date for the Fall retreat – September 29-October 1. I held the retreat at a beautiful cabin in the North Georgia Mountains. I’m actually heading back up there later this month to host a Demonstrator Getaway Weekend. It is so much fun to getaway for the weekend and be creative with friends.
At the Spring Retreat we had Make&Take projects for everyone there. We had a project for Friday night and another one for Saturday.
For Friday night we stuck with a fairly simple project – a card and a little 3-D succulent.
These use products from the Oh So Succulent Suite from the Occasions Catalog. We used the Popcorn Box die and cut it shorter to create the container for the succulent. The card uses 4 x 5-1/4 piece of designer paper that is cut at a diagonal. You can mix and match the patterns from a pack of designer paper. Everyone at the retreat got a piece of all the different patterns in the pack.
On Saturday we had a bigger project and taught 5 different water coloring techniques. We used the Dragonfly Dreams stamp set and dies to create a set of 4 cards – each with a different technique and a card holder with a 5th technique.
Everyone also made a 3D project to match the cards using the Window Box Thinlits Dies. Since I prepped everything ahead I did a ton of Big Shot cutting for this one!
Inside the Window Box was a battery operated tea light – the back of the box opens up so you can turn on your light. We strung a wire through so you could hang it from a hook somewhere.
The projects turned out great and everyone enjoyed making them and learning the new techniques. I hope you can join me in the fall.
Thanks for stopping by.
