I just returned from the Advisory Board Retreat. It was great! It started out with a ride in this wonderfully decorated van. It was pretty exciting to come out of the airport and see this waiting for us!
We ended the first day with the best part-the pajama party! What fun!
The final day ended with a fantastic dinner! This was the picture we took to end the retreat - a sad moment - but the night was wonderful!

All I can say is, WOW! Day one was packed with fun!
When we arrived, we checked in, and then were directed to the "candy bar" - a candy lover's dream!
We played a "get to know you" game and the prize was one of the sets from the new Holiday Mini Catalog.
Next, it was time for the welcome dinner - the decorations were amazing!
If all of this was not enough, we returned to our rooms, to find a travel bag hanging in the bathroom,and inside were the supplies for our make and takes - including a brand new stamp set!
What a fun-filled day!

A big thanks to Stacey Lisk for teaching me this great technique!
Do you like the matted look of our circle, square and oval punches? I sure do! That is why I was very excited to see this fun little trick for matting the curly tag punch!
1. First, stamp image and punch out using the curly tag punch.
2. punch out 2 curly tag punches in the color that you would like the matting to be.
3. Turn one of the punched tags 90 degrees and attach to the back of your punched image.
4. Cut the longer sides of your second punch in about 0.25 inches from the edge.
5. Adhere these two pieces to the short sides of your punched image and line up with the first piece you used to mat the image, and V'oila!

Well, I just got some "new arrivals" and I have been busy breaking them in! Here are just a couple of things that I have been stamping. The theme for today is "haiku". I used The Haiku Designer Series paper for all of these projects. I especially love how the new 8.5 x 8.5 chipboard album looks covered with this paper!! What a fun size to work with!
