Crafting Retreat
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. Come party with us at Monika’s House October 21 – 23, 2016.
Arrive on Friday afternoon – come set up your craft space, bring an appetizer to share with everyone on Friday evening for our dinner. We will have games and prizes on Friday night. Make & Takes will be scheduled for Friday night and Saturday. All meals included on Saturday. Finish up on Sunday and pack up and head back home in the early afternoon. We have Make & Take projects planned as part of the retreat – and everyone will receive a Goody Bag with supplies and extras. And little surprises throughout the weekend!
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, Project Life, laptop for My Digital Studio, Paper Pumpkin kits, jewelry making, knitting – the choice is yours.
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 will have three Queen beds upstairs, some sofa space, or we can put an air mattress on the floor. Or stay as late as you want in the evening – go sleep at home and come back in the morning!
I will send out a schedule and list of what you need to bring at the beginning of March. This time we are offering EARLY BIRD PRICING – paid in full by Aug 31 – $80.
Regular pricing – due by Sept 30 – $100.
All fees non-refundable after Sept 30. I will be ordering supplies and prizes Oct 1st.

The Moroccan Suite in the Stampin’ Up! catalog is artfully exotic. The suite includes a stamp set, Designer Paper, Washi Tape and coordinating ribbons. You can find it on pages 66-67 in the Annual Catalog. For today’s card I took another idea from the catalog samples and used that with some minor modifications to create a stunning card perfect for lots of occasions. I find that the Moroccan Designer Paper has a masculine feel to it so I can create cards that aren’t so girly.
I used Emerald Envy card stock for the base and stamped the large image from the stamp set in Emerald Envy ink for the background.
At the base is a strip of the designer paper and then its tied with the new Emerald Envy Baker’s Twine.
The sentiment is from the Suite Sayings stamp set – it was a carry over from the Occasions catalog and has an assortment of sayings in a variety of fonts. It is stamped in Delightful Dijon and then cut with the Tags & Labels Framelits.
To finish the card add a couple of the Enamel Dots – I used Emerald Envy for my card, but I think the gold or the Delightful Dijon dots would work too.
Enjoy the day and come back again for a visit.

I think its been well over a year since we decided to turn the old office in our house into a Stamping Classroom. It’s a slow process when you do it yourself and your husband has a full time job, wants to play golf every weekend, and decides to redo the basement and get a hip replacement too. But now finally it is done!
I tried to find a photo when we still had furniture and stuff in there but didn’t come across one yet. Maybe I’ll find it another time. But to give you an idea this was the room before – just empty.
It was the old office and had a big desk in it at one point. When I worked full time I used that as my home office on the days I stayed home. The built in cabinets were a project that Greg and his dad did when we first moved into the house (over 20 years ago). It was Greg’s first real building project. His dad taught him well.
The cabinets came down and we found this smiley face behind them – and a lot of holes in the wall. We totally forgot the smiley was back there. Our boys were very little when those were put up. Greg painted that and they all “helped” build the room.
Everything is down. Now it took some time to patch up all the holes, paint all the walls and the ceiling, remove the carpet, add the tile floor, fix all the trim, etc.
And this is what it turned into….
The walls are painted So Saffron. We added a tile floor in a herring bone pattern. The white tables and chairs are from Ikea and so are the gray carts and the white dresser. The revolving bookcase is from Pottery Barn.
Here I have the room set up for my Stamper’s Club. They were the first ones to see and use the room. Each cart has catalogs, order forms, and pens in the bottom. Some tools in the center – cleaner, pop up trashcan, stamping pad, I also added bins with clear blocks. The top has the supplies for the project at that table.
This past weekend I had my team meeting in here. We talked business and then stamped. A few of the girls stayed for a few hours in the afternoon and we worked on some kits and paper pumpkin boxes. Aspen likes to be right in the middle of everything.
My class schedule is on my website – CLICK HERE. I hope you will join me sometime in my new classroom!
Thanks for visiting.
