Catching up

So, this past weekend was my bi-annual demo retreat to Cape Cod.  We all of course ate way too much and had lots of fun sharing creative ideas and stamping.  So here are a few pictures from the weekend.

These are a couple of beautiful ornaments that my friend Michele Lacerda made. 

We were lucky enough to have Michele demo how to make these ornaments!  So of course I will pass this onto all of you.  The second picture is my attempt at the ornaments with the Special Christmas paper from the Holiday Mini catalog.

We each bring a shoebox swap to share with everyone for the weekend.  This is Michele's swap card for the weekend.

This was my shoebox swap.  I thought that it was very funny that Michele and I both CASED fall cards by Donna Centemore at butternutsagedesigns.  I fact, we had both purchased the same technique tutorial from Donna!

Stay tuned for more to come from our downline weekend.
