Now just in case you are not able to tell, I have my Blends in a Paper Pumpkin books with the front cut lower so I can see all the colors.

Stampin Up is also offering a Project Kit to use with your Blends while you are learning how to use them. This kit is a great way to learn how to blend and see how different in dark and light colors.

Now, you know I like to change kits to better suit my style. I want to use most of the colors. After all, I wanted to see the color differences too.

Scrap Your Heart Out Retreat Aug 2017

WOW!

Allow me to bring you up to date on some really great time.

Scrap Your Heart Out Retreat Aug 2017 was another GREAT RETREAT! We started with some wonderful gifts given out at registration. Crafters never knew when there were hidden gifts inside goodie bags, cards or even special packaged treats. Everyone received a name tag to wear plus one for their area.

Each area name tag had a scissor tag attached.

The scissor name tags were done with Shrinky Dink. Each one had Scrap Your Heart Out 2017 and their name on them. Our very own Darlene shows how awesome they look on your scissors. Not to mention, a great way to keep up with them in a room full of scissors.

We played games, gave away gifts and had our very own scrapbook page contest.

Vera Bradley from SouthPoint Mall in Durham gave everyone a great sample packages. Great samples and even a fantastic retractable tape measure.

Everyone was a winner. Each person got their choice of gifts. Some for scrapbookers and others for card makers.

Cindy and Michelle started each morning off with Prize Patrol....

Looks like Tracy is having some trouble deciding.

But I have got to say, we all loved the games. I will never look at plastic wrap the same again. You think it is hard getting it to tear off the roll. Try unwrapping it with kitchen mittens on.......

This was the calm group....... then came the second group. Oh, and watch who you sit next too..... some ladies got really wild.

Beth showing her disappointment when Sherry stole her mittens. LOL

Look Out! Gina is a swinger......

Jane steals the mittens before Paula can even put them on......

And around the table it goes.

Fighting over the mittens again. Ladies??

This was certainly not the night to go to bed early. Missing all this fun and laughing until it hurt.

Scrap Your Heart Out was a TON of FUN for everyone attending.

Our next retreat is Feb 2nd, 3rd and 4th, 2018

Get on our email list to Sign Up for our next SCRAP YOUR HEART OUT RETREAT

Adventure Balloons Awesome bundle

Here in the south it does not take much to shut down the city. But that is okay, it just means I have had some extra time to craft. Things around here are really busy. Getting ready for our upcoming Open House and Scrap Your Heart Out Retreat.

So let's take a look at some of the craft projects we have finished.

First lets look at Balloon Adventures and the thinlets Balloon Pop Up. This bundle (144708) makes several great cards with a great WOW factor.

The front of this card is stamped using Mint Macaron ink and Sweet Sugarplum ink using one of the great stamps in this set. Then I stamped the sediment in the center.

The inside of this card is the WOW. This die cut allows you to make the balloons pop. The pop up is cut from Whisper White paper, and each balloon is die cut using the same thinlet set. (Hint this is a great time to use those small scrap that often seem to grow in your craft room.)

Here is another way to use this bundle:

Same die cut, only this time I removed the surrounding box. I did not have any black glitter paper, so I used Basic Black and Wink of Stella. Just brush your card with your Clear Wink of Stella. Now you have the shine and a smooth finish. Again each of the balloons are cut from scrap paper. The stars are from our enamel embellishment set. Again is adds color to the other wise blank and white card.

Of course we can not leave the inside blank. This is the place to wish them Another Year Full of Adventures.

I love making cards with products that offer so much variety. This bundle offers a lot of great value to your crafting collection. Look at this video for more ideas.
