Pictures from the September Scissors and the City Scrapbooking Retreat

I know you all have been wanting to see the pictures from the last 2009 retreat so here they are! I hope you enjoy them!

Preparing for the Scissors and the City Scrapbooking Retreat

So I wanted to do a quick update for all of you who check my blog regularly. I haven't had much time to do any scrapping lately because I have been working on getting things together for the last 2009 Scissors and the City scrapbooking retreat this weekend in Tucson! I am really looking forward to spending the weekend with what I am sure is going to be a wonderful group or crafters!

The picture is the mess I found myself working in earlier today. I apologize for the picture quality, I took it on my blackberry. Anyways, if you look closely you can see a few items that will be making an appearance in the workshop at the retreat. I am really loving the minibook we will be creating.

Is it Friday yet??? I want to get this party started! :-P And whats even more exciting is we are finalizing the 2010 dates for SATC retreats! I will post the dates as soon as we know for sure but you can expect the first 2010 retreat to be in/around March!

A CTMH Christmas Card

This card was fun to make using the new paper line Jingle, evergreen stamp set, felt shapes, and glitter rub ons. Nice and simple and I think the way it all came together is fun and cheery... exactly the mood I want to be in around the holidays.

An Early Dose of Halloween

If you follow my blog or even just check in on occasion you probably noticed something different right away with this post. I ditched the solid black background for my photos. I wanted to try something new... something fresh. I am not sure if I will be sticking with the colorful backgrounds or not but you can expect to see the next few posts this way. I need to give it a fair run before I decide which way I like best.

Anyway, about the artwork... Halloween is such a fun holiday and absolutely love it! I decided to make a little Halloween treat box with some friends as a workshop project on Sunday and afterwards I made a super simple Halloween card to coordinate with it. I must say, the flourish stamp with bats is probably one of my all time favorite sets and its new from CTMH.
