At the Retreat

I went on a crafting retreat last where Karen Burniston taught a lot of projects using her dies! It was at a beautiful retreat setting in Texas called Whitworth Ranch. Just lovely! So I thought I’d share the projects we did!

One of the projects was this cute Circle Tag Book featuring some Feathered Friends! Those are Party Border Blends decorating the sides.

Look at how cute it is opened! That Ostrich is my favorite!

We also did an Oval Frames card. Do you love the goat paper?

Inside is the cute Bunny from Spring Animals. I love how the elements can be placed on this card.

We also did a chipboard album!

The front piece is a waterfall album made with the Frame Pull die. Karen has a video on her channel on how to do this.

This is the second page with the sweet tag and bird fussy cut from the paper.

The third set of pages – it also holds a surprise!

A Twist Panel is enclosed under one of the pages! Is it pretty? Check back tomorrow and I’ll share the rest of the projects. Hugs, Fran

Crazy for Challenges Summer Fun

I was asked to be a guest designer for Crazy 4 Challenges this month and the first challenge is Summer Fun.  What is more fun than beach time?  Using Seaside Shore and Karen Burniston’s Katherine Label die, I created an underwater scene.  The background is done with Distressed Oxide inks and the fish are colored with Copic markers.  Nuvo Jewel drops create the bubbles.  The frame around the window opening is stamped with Playful Backgrounds and the acetate is dry embossed with the Seaside embossing folder.

Can you see the waves?  (Kind of hard to photograph!)

Here’s the inside scene.  Be sure to check out the challenge and share your Summer Fun card!  Hugs, Fran
