Happy Friday!

Tomorrow I’ll be back at the Just Crop Retreat in Fullerton. I’m looking forward to seeing all the happy crafters at the Retreat. It is always so inspiring to see what everyone is working on. Afterwards, I just want to go home and make things.

Today, I’m sharing one of the two make & takes I’ll have at the Retreat tomorrow. This make & take uses the Follow Your Art Suite of products. This is such a fun Suite – perfect for any crafter that wants to send cards to crafty friends or scrapbook their craft retreats.
The background for this card is the Button Button embossing folder. I used just a bit of the pattern paper and layered my tag and buttons across the top. The buttons were all die cut using the Arts & Crafts dies, which coordinates with the It Starts With Art stamp set. And of course, cards are never complete without a bit of bling going on so I sprinkled a couple of the self-adhesive sequins here and there.

Have you ever been to a craft retreat? Do you take pictures at the retreats so you can scrapbook them later? If you’re in Southern California and you’re looking for a retreat to attend, let me know and I can put you in touch with the owner of Just Crop. Her retreat guests come back month after month.
