Yesterday, in conjunction with World Card Making Day, Amanda and I hosted our 3rd Annual Fall Fest Retreat.  This was a full day of stamping cards, gifts, treats, a scrapbook and a framed art piece.  In short, it was like a stamp class on steroids.  In fact we provided six classes.  We started at 9:00 am and when everyone arrived, they found this beautifully wrapped gift waiting for them.

This box held all six of their projects for the day as well as some extra special surprises.  Check out the tag:  I used the Pretty Pines Thinlits to make the pine boughs and pine cones and stamped the sentiment with the Tin of Tags stamp set.  And check out the three red Mini Jingle Bells above the pine cones, aren’t they adorable?  The whole thing was tied up with 2 yards of the Real Red 3/4″ Stitched Ribbon.

Keeping with the same Christmas theme and wanting to be sure everyone stayed hydrated, I created the water bottle tag using the Cheerful Tags Framelits Dies.  The pretty sentiment is from the Merry Medley back ground stamp.

Look at everything they received throughout the day as part of their fee:

6 packets of supplies for the six projects they made (I’ll share those over the next few days)

Holly Berry stamp set

Halloween Night Bakers twine

Candy Cane Lane Bakers twine

3/8″ Ribbon Trio Pack

Dimensionals

Shadow Box Picture Frame

Our goal at out Fall Fest Retreat is to surprise and delight everyone with great projects and many surprises throughout the day.

Come back tomorrow and I’ll be sharing more fun from Fall Fest.
