Stamp-A-Faire and so much more!

       SAF-2013-Logo       
What a fabulous 2 days, so much to do and even more, so much fun.  There were times when I was laughing so hard that I had tears in my eyes. So fun to spend time relaxing and crafting with friends.  I have a few photos to share of our day and several cards to share too that need to be added to a few of yesterday's PTI challenges.  It was so much fun to meet Marybeth from Marybeth's Time for Paper and see Cathy again from Empty Nest Crafter so sweet and so funny! We all wished that Tracey from In My Creative Opinion would have been there with us so we all decided to CASe her first card of the day, it was so much fun and then after we worked the bugs out of Face Time we all got to chat for a bit in the afternoon. Such a treat.
Joyce is the sweetest hostess and made sure we all had everything we needed for a fun day and if you ever get the chance to see her incredible room, you will be amazed. She is about as organized as they come and has just about everything craft supply there is which makes it very easy to make any type of card you want.
I have 3 cards and several photo's to share so without any further chatting here they are.  Thank you so much for taking the time to stop by to peek at my cards....have a fabulous week.


Friday afternoon we thought it would be fun to make a few cards, but we only made one each.  We both used the new PTI Mum's the Word, it is a beautiful set.



 We also went for a walk to the beach, the weather was so beautiful.  Can you imagine living so close to the beach you can just walk to it? So fun!

Gallon, Quart and Pint Challenge


Marybeth was sweet enough to bring some of her new stamps, so we all were able to play with the new PTI coffee set, so much fun. Since I do not color, I used the stacked coffee cups as a background stamp and love the way it turned out.


We really spent more time chatting than crafting and for some reason we still had quite the mess.  This photo is the one I am using for the PTI Stamp-A-Faire Closing Ceremony, what better way to end a fabulous day than with a big mess.

 This card is one I made before my trip for today's PTI Blog Hop. My plan was to get more than one card made but needless to say that did not happen and I was just happy to have one to enter. I don't use browns much when stamping but I have to say I was pretty happy with the way my card turned out. So back to the real world again and looking forward to another summer Stamp-A-Faire event.

  3. What fun we had. I absolutely love the blog hop card you made. As soon as I looked at it, I had a 'duh, why didn't I do that' moment--which I always have when I see a card I love made with stuff I have. This one is definitely going into the CASE file. Thanks again for coming down and playing with me. Now we can start to plan 2014.

  5. Kim thank you to you and the others for allowing me, as Darnell said, live vicariously through your weekend. Fantastic photos and cards, loved that we all had the opportunity to chat yesterday afternoon through Facetime. It was almost like being there. Almost. Your blog hop card for today is fabulous of course, as I expected it to be.
