Well it is RETREAT time again - my absolutely FAVORITE time of the year!!! I look forward to this trip more than any trip of the year. I get to see all my favorite girls from Club Scrap in living color and real life!! I get to hug and laugh and even shed a few tears (usually at the end when we have to say our goodbyes) with the best gals you will ever meet!! We have so much fun - there is a ton of fun workshops, gorgeous Club scrap paper to caress, and lots of pampering!!
The first night we exchange ATC's with at least 6 others as sort of a meet & greet activity - I created a few extra, as I have many more friends that I have accumulated over the years!! Here is the ATC I created this year.
Supply List:
Card board (I recycled old boxes)
Gesso
Crackle Paint
Bamboo Skewers
Hemp fiber
Rubberstamps
Ink
Instructions:
Cut 2.5x3.5 pieces of cardboard from old boxes.
Paint card board with gesso.
Cut (3) slits out of short sides, and (4) slits out of long sides - vary what the slits look like, as shown:
Use the "book page" stamp on chop sticks in black ink, then cut to about 3inches long, then ink with light brown ink, as shown.
I then cut out some Fleurs de lis (rubberstamp script image and ink with brown ink). I then glued 3 chopsticks together and added a Fleur de lis on top, let dry.
Add a wrapping of Hemp fiber around the chop sticks.
Rubberstamp sentiment on white cardstock. Cut out each line, ink edges. Adhere chopstick bundle and sentiment to ATC as shown.
The majority of the materials used in this project are from
ClubScrap.
