Here are some photographs from my first weekend downline Stampin’ DIVA’s retreat.  My downline have been to our cabin before, but only for a day.  I was at the cabin Friday, Saturday and Sunday.  They came when it was convenient for them.  It was fun to have a revolving door of downline throughout the weekend.

It was so much fun to have time to spend with each other while being creative.  I’m thrilled with all the scrapbook pages I made and the cards for upcoming swaps that I got done.

If you want to join the Stampin’ Up! family and become one of my downline members, please contact me.  You too could attend a future retreat at our cabin!

Here are some card samples that my downline, Denise W., made for me from her recent Stamp-a-Stack. 

I like the uncluttered style of these cards with the simple, yet striking details.  Thanks Denise!

One of my downline, Denise W., surprised me with this personalized water bottle.  She used the 114337 Chocolate Decor’ Elements Sheets in the Sizzix Big Shot to make the flower and the letters.  She added the button which was adhered with Crystal Effects.  The vinyl personalization is perfect on this water bottle because it is hand washable, so the personalization won’t come off.  Thanks Denise!  I LOVE IT!

A few weeks ago, the women’s group from my church had another fundraiser for a missionary.  I provided cards for a stamp-a-stack, plus this Romans 12:12 frame that they could make.

I printed the verse from the computer on Whisper White cardstock.  They stamped the Medallion image in Sahara Sand ink in the two corners.  Then they put the Whisper White cardstock through the Sizzix Big Shot using the Backgrounds 1 Texturz Plate.  In the two corners they added two butterflies with large glue dots. 

These were made from metal roof flashing in the Sizzix Big Shot using the Beatuiful Butterflies Die Cut and the Finial Press Embossing Folder.  Put it in a black frame and viola!  A very elegant and quick project to make.
