More good stuff from Stampin’ Sisters Retreat

Because we like to have a variety of different types of projects, we created this Squash Album which was a lot of fun.  It measures 6″ x 6″ when closed but it opens up to expand over 18″ wide.

The project uses the Honey Bee stamp set and coordinating Detailed Bees dies along with the Golden Honey Specialty Designer Series Paper (which was a Sale-a-bration item, but has now sold out).  A Roll of the Basic Black Ribbon was their take home gift for this project.

We offered an optional card swap back in October, so the 64 people that chose to participate had 5 months to create a card and reproduce it 63 more times!  Not only did they go home with all the projects we created at retreat, but they went home with 63 other gorgeous cards from the swap.

We had everyone vote for their favorite card and the winners got to choose a gift from us.

The winners were Helen Tietz, Gall Diss, and Tina Demrow.  Congratulations on your gorgeous cards ladies.

Here’s a close up look at Helen’s 1st place Diorama card featuring The Gangs All Meer stamp set

Gail’s 2nd place card was a never ending card that opens over and over again to reveal different papers and designs that all come from the Peaceful Poppies Suite.

Here’s one of the views when the cards opens up.

Tina’s 3rd place card used the Beauty Abounds stamp set and coordinating Butterfly Beauty Dies.
