A Little Something Sweet.....

Another MemoryWorks Retreat has wrapped up. Sniff..Sniff.......I wish I was there. So instead of seeing some "sweet" treats there, here are some "sweet" treats from TeamWorks Member Alison Hammond. Her "sweet" projects were made from the June Express Kit that was chocked full of goodies.

Alison Hammond's Card #1 and Card #2:

Next are 2 of Alison's layouts she created from the kit.

And finally, a clear paint can embellished with a cupcake bling and a "love" mini-album that are both just "sweet".;)

The "love" mini-album fits nicely in the can. Now, who can't pass up getting a cupcake can filled with love as a gift? :)

Happy Scrappin'!

Retreat Day 3

Today was the final day of the 2009 retreat. What an amazing time I had and I'm sure everyone else would say the same thing. Thank you to ALL the teachers and sponsors of the retreat. It was fantastic and a HUGE thank you to home office. You did an AMAZING job once again!

I took video from the airport today - tired, exhausted and emotional (from being tired). I can't wait until the next retreat in 2011!!

Thanks for tuning into my quirky blogs and I hope you felt like you were apart of it.

Retreat Day 2

Greetings from the retreat! The staff and crew wanted to say hello! So here is a recap from tonight!

Father's Day is almost here!

Happy Friday! For those of you not at the retreat (myself included, sniff, sniff), you still have 2 whole days to come up with something fabulous for Father's Day! It might be the one day of the year that your Dad, husband, brother or son won't roll their eyes at your scrap projects, since its for THEM!

Here are a couple of last-minute card ideas, made with Cosmo Cricket's Lil' Man theme set and some fun acrylic stamps (WRMK "All Star" and Crate Paper "Orbit"):




You can personalize the front of any of these with a picture, word (letter stickers or rub ons!) or other embellishment.

And by the way...those "Orbit" stamps are ADORABLE!

I'm probably a little slow...but after using these on several projects, I JUST realized that the little aliens in the pack are reversible! Check this out:
Gotta love it!


When the new catalog came out, I was thrilled to see so many BOY themed products! Nearly every manufacturer has at least one more masculine line. Gone are the days of making your boy projects plain old Primary colors -- the new lines are fun, cute and even classy!


Here are some of my faves:
(7 Gypsies)

(Maya Road)
(3 Bugs in a Rug)

Happy Father's Day to all the men in our lives!
