A MOST WONDERFUL SCRAPBOOK RETREAT!

Here I am back in Sevierville, TN, at our semi-annual scrapbook retreat at Whispering Winds.  The last time I was here I had to drive up in January during a terrrible snow storm, but this week has been gorgeous for August.  Not rainy and not too hot.  There are only 5 of us up here all week, but some others are going to drop in here and there for a day or so.  I have worked on a scrapbook for our trip to Hiwassee, GA, with our two daughters and their families, but all the pictures aren't printed out, so I couldn't finish it.  For the most part I have been doing cards.  We have a Stampin' Up consultant up here, and an former Anna Griffin Design Team member, so I've really learned a lot of new techniques and made some new cards.  I've taken a picture of one of them, but it's not very good.  I'll try to do a better job tomorrow.  The card I've posted tonight is a 3D rose.  I cut 4 different layers of one rose and pop-dotted them to make the flower dimensional.  Then to make it a little fancier, I glittered around all the petals and then outlined the matting with Perfect Pearls.  You can't see the glitter very well, but it really makes the card.

 

Oops!  I didn't mean to post two of them.  Oh well, enjoy.  I'm going to bed.  Judy
