Hi Everyone, I just got back from a wonderful Crafty Retreat arranged by Loll for a group of us to get together at a house in Crescent Beach BC. Loll, Susan, Bonnie, Darnell, Trina, Nancy and myself were there for the week with a two night visit from Linda, Colleen and Nancy's daughter Jeani. We also got to meet Maureen (Scrappymo/Rudolf days), Maureen came over for lunch on one of the days, it was so nice to meet her and spend some time chatting.
For my card I stamped the little balloon Christmas characters from Clearly Besotted and watercoloured them. I stencilled the background popped the balloons up on pop up dots and added some silver thread for strings.
I'm entering this for the following challenges
Rudolf Days
ABC Christmas K for Kids
The Holly and the Ivy
Christmas Kick start #11 Christmas Kids
