Would you be interested in a FALL Crafty Weekend?

Happy Monday to you!! J

I hope all of you had a WONDERFUL weekend, and I'm excited to share a NEW development with you!! 

Join me today in learning more about this POSSIBLE crafting weekend - and I will look forward to hearing your feedback! 

Please  RSVP by MONDAY, JUNE 19th to let me know if you can join us.  If I have the 25 people needed, we will book then weekend!!

***SPREAD the word to your other crafting friends! :)
This is the first time I'm able to open it up a weekend event  to my ENTIRE mailing list...and not just those that have attended in years past. :)  Wahoo!  Join us for a crafting weekend this coming Fall!!

-------------------------------------------------------------------

I've included ALL the details below
(In case you didn't get a chance to read the EMAIL that arrived earlier this week)

PLUS....

I have now included a "DAYTIME only" option. :)  Come on in and check it out!

So...details.....DETAILS!! :)
I am looking at possibly having a Fall Scrapbooking Retreat at Tel Hai Retreat!  The weekend would take place Thursday thru Saturday, Oct 26-Oct 28, 2017!!  Wahoo!

So...what does this all mean?

Why have I not "committed" to the weekend yet? :) 
****I needed to hear from YOU first, since I need to get in a deposit in ASAP.**** 

 I am asking for 25 people to register for this weekend, before I commit to hosting the weekend.

• Check out the information below.
• THEN....please let me know ASAP if you'd be interested in joining me for this FUN-FILLED weekend!

THANK YOU for your understanding in this!  While I LOVE these weekends, I do want to honor my family as I consider going away another 3 day weekend…that’s why I’m asking  the 25 person minimum. :)

A few differences from this past winter retreat at Tel Hai 
(our recent weekend was the FIRST TIME at Tel Hai Retreat Center in Honey Brook....and we all LOVED it! :)

• Lodging Options for the fall retreat, would be 2 choices...with the same price - either the Spruce Cabin OR the Log Cabins. 
• All the other lodging is already being used this weekend.  These log cabins are DIFFERENT than Goshen & Joffa cabins we stayed in this last time.  These are cabins we toured.  They have their own bathrooms & showers inside, and hold 8 people. (without using top bunks)

Here is the Spruce cabin that a few of you stayed in this past retreat. 

• We WILL be setting up in the Hemlock Room again.
• We will be using the spacious Hemlock Room that we used this past spring.  While it rained the weekend we attended in Mar/Apr….we are hoping that’s not the case again!  I am hoping to try the other meeting rooms for my next WINTER retreat, however, Hemlock is the only room available for this Oct weekend.

• Meals will be Breakfast & Dinner only – on Friday & Saturday.

With the amount of snacks we received from Tel Hai, I thought we’d try just 2 meals on each day…both Breakfast & Dinner.  

That means we’ll be on our own for supper Thursday night & lunch on both Fri & Sat....however, remember Tel Hai gives us snacks to eat throughout weekend PLUS...we have an 8pm snack (veggie/fruit tray) on Thurs & Friday evenings. :)

So...what do you think? 

Would you like to join me for the FUN-FILLED weekend?? :)

Here are a few more photos from our past retreat weekend to give you a little more insight to what is all involved in our weekend together...

PLEASE let me know ASAP...Monday, June 19th...if you can join us this weekend in October!!

I need to reserve & pay the deposit of the facility once I there are 25 people that can come this weekend! :)

I look forward to seeing if we can start a NEW TRADITION with a fall retreat weekend! J I can't WAIT to get your responses! :)  Please feel free to use of the many ways to contact me - all listed below. 

Blessings to EACH of you!!

JUNE is FILLED with Fabulous specials here at Close To My Heart!!  Because there is SO MUCH goodness ;)....I wanted to share a card I created using this Month's Stamp of the Month (SOTM) Hello Foxy stamp set.  

Take a look!  

I adore this month's stamp set....and while the Fox on this stamp set is ADORABLE...I wanted to use the wreath for this card.  

Yes...I DID chose to fussy cut the wreath ;)...I get to urge to fussy-cut every once in a while :).  
I also decided to use the WATERCOLOR PENCILS to color in the flowers, and even though you can't see it.... I used the clear shimmer brush on top of the flowers to give it a bit of "sparkle" (at least in real life you can see it ;))    

The  "love" background paper - comes from our SOON-to-be-RETIRED Whimsy Fundamentals paper collection!!  

I love this paper, and will miss it - but know that CTMH has something else great for us to use.  This paper collection will be retiring on July 31, 2017.  

Here is another close up of the front of the card.  

I added some white shimmer trim to the bottom of the card, and topped that with our "Enamel & Glitter Duo" hearts & the striped pansy ribbon.  These items will also be leaving us at the end of July too! 

  Here's a picture of the ENTIRE stamp set....and don't forget - this stamp set is ONLY AVAILABLE in JUNE 2017!!!  

You can purchase this "Hello Foxy" stamp set for the $17.95 retail price OR pay ONLY $5 when you place a $50 order with your CTMH consultant!! 

 I LOVE Bargains!!! Woot - woot!! :) :) 

  

That's all for today....thanks for stopping by, and I hope you were inspired to go CREATE something on your own! :) 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Here is this months EXCLUSIVE stamp set, that you can get for ONLY $5 with your $50 CTMH purchase in June!!

How ADORABLE!?!?!  
It seems we are seeing MORE & MORE foxes these days, and I have to say these are some of the CUTEST I've seen yet!! 

  Today, I'll be sharing 1 of the 3 cards I created with this stamp set.  
Let's take a look.... 

This fun, card sketch, came from our How-To-Book - Make It From Your Heart, volume 2, pattern #20.  I just ADORE our how-to books! :) 

I choose to use my FAVORITE paper pack in the Seasonal Expression 2 mini-book (SE2)...the means i used the "No Worries" paper pack.  Here is a picture of this GORGEOUS paper collection!!

I wanted to use both flowers, from the stamp set, on this card, but didn't want to "over power" the card....so out came the CLEAR embossing powder :) 

Check out the embossed flowers on the weathered, barn board paper! 

Next I REALLY wanted to use our NEWEST "Thin Cut" metal dies!!  We have added a Basic Oval Thin Cut set & a Star set to our Close To My Heart collection!!

I pulled out the oval one, and the fox fit PERFECTLY on top of the cut!!! Wahoo!!

I used our fabulous watercolor pencils to color in the flower & fox images.  Then I used our Blender pen to "smooth" out the lines.  


Here is the list of products I used for the card above...
