Retreat Update #3

So sad ... today's the last day of retreat ... back to reality ranch later today.

For the trip home today, the girls arrived to their own 8' table to find on their seat ...

Today's Seat Treat!

These cellophane bags (pg 181) were filled with candy.  The toppers were made using vanilla cardstock and the Top Note Bigz Die (pg 222) and my favorite fall stamp set, French Foilage (pg 115).  The leaves were cut out of More Mustard, Cajun Craze and Bravo Burgandy cardstock (same inks used) with the Leaves #2 Original Die (pg 220).  I crumbled these cut pieces and sponged them with Bravo Burgandy ink.  The "thankful thoughts of you" verbiage is from the Grateful Greetings stamp set (pg 27) ... a very useful set for Christmas, Thanksgiving, Halloween and Valentines Day ...

Here's today Make N Take ...

Sorry for the glare on the photo ... but I think you get the idea.  Here we used Lucky Limeade and Pacific Point cardstock and inks.   To get the bleeded look, we first inked the leaf stamp with Lucky Limeade ink.  Then we rolled the top "flowers" in pacific point ink. 

The top image was stamped with Pacific Point ink and then filled in with Crystal Effects (pg 206).  The stamp set used here is yet another of my favorites ... My Friend (pg 139) ... How can you not love Stampin' Up! stamp sets which are all size coordinated to make design extremely easy!

We'll be packing up soon but have memories for years of the fun had this weekend.  Block off March 15-18, 2012 for the next retreat.  Check my blog or email me for more information.  

Diva club coming up this week ... I need to get home, unpack and start all over again ... Gotta love this "job"!  It's all fun!  Free Big Shot offer expires 11/15/2011 ... Join the Fun today.  And ... hope to see you at one of the two retreats next year ....
