Getting Ready for the Retreat


Why did I think it was a good idea to work 3 days this week? I know, I know -- because I need to work! But right now it doesn't seem like a great idea. I am leaving on Friday after school to go to Washington, IN to an SISF retreat where I am teaching a scrapbook page class Friday night. Then I'm coming back to Evansville to do a project at a birthday party (yes, Tiffany, I promise to have it done by Saturday!) and going back to Gasthoff to SCRAPBOOK!!! Anna is going with me for the first time as part of her birthday present. She'll be 11 on the 28th and is SO excited about going with me.
Here is a picture of the page. I'm using the paper from the Sale-A-Bration brochure and the Garden Whimsy stamp set (one of my favorites). I think it's really cute and hope I have time to find some cute pictures from yesterday to add to it.
Next weekend -- April 24 -- will be the next card workshop. Unfortunately, the room was not available for Saturday, so it will just be Friday night. I know that is a disappointment for some of you, but it couldn't be helped. I'm considering the possibility of doing a Sunday afternoon workshop when I can't get the room on Saturday. I need to check on Noble Roman's hours to see how the timing would work, but I'll keep you posted on that.
Have a great week! I don't know if I will end up getting back with another post before I leave on Friday, but I'll try.

Cards for this Weekend

Oh my goodness! I just looked at my last post to see which side I put the pictures on and saw the goofy way it formatted! I don't know why it can't just look like it's supposed to -- or even better yet, why can't it just look like it does in my mind?! It doesn't matter how much I mess with it, sometimes I just can't get it to look right. Okay, enough of that.


I finally have 5 cards for the weekend. I'm having a really small crowd, so I thought I might entice some of you who visit here regularly to get out this weekend and make some cards with me. The card with the duck on it could possibly the cutest card I've ever made (in my opinion). I don't usually do "cute" cards, but I seem to have 2 of them this time. Unfortunately, I can't take credit for either one of them. Although they aren't exact copies, they are both styled after ideas I saw on Splitcoaststampers. The one with the butterfly is nearly an exact copy of a card in the catalog. But the other two are my very own!
Well, I'm off to cut cardstock! You all have a great day!
