Another busy weekend for all!

Did you get your crafty on this weekend? I did and all you Stamp Campers did too! Have you started your Christmas cards? Here are mine under construction. 

I was at my annual fall scrapbook retreat with my girlfriends from the Finger Lakes area. We've been at this for over 20 years in one location or other. Since Covid we've moved to a B&B in Montour Falls, NY. It's an old house called the Cook Mansion and it is a mansion! It's been updated with a huge kitchen, 5 or 6 bedrooms and it is right next to the falls. When I arrived on Thursday it had been so dry that the falls was literally a trickle. It rained overnight and on Friday we could literally hear the falls roaring! Great location, great friends and great fun! We'll do it all again in March. 

As Sharon had Stamp Camp, Mona did her video on Friday afternoon. The only new product Sharon shared was new Washi tape customized for Bills fans. If you saw the game today, sorry. It was a bizarre ending especially when Buffalo had that game. They get my husband's Browns next week - should be a cakewalk...

On to Mona's video; Elizabeth Craft is one of several companies that has a winter mug for the season. As is usual with Elizabeth Craft, they have a lot of little pieces that make their designs very versatile. 

Mona cut and assembled a large variety of the add-ons in this set. Here she made the gingerbread man and you can see part of the sweater design that can be used in a variety of ways.

There is also a stamp set you can use with these dies.

The polka dot die can be used in so many ways. Solid colored paper, sprays, inks and many more.

The snowflake can be used on top of a solid or use the negative image.


I love the sweater patterned add-on. Mona used a variety of combinations during her demo including tone on tone and sprays.


Combine with a winter embossing folder, a little whipped cream topper, marshmallows and cinnamon stick stirrers.



Mona used the new holiday sprays on her cards.

Also new from Elizabeth Craft Designs is this sweater set.

That's about it for me until Wednesday. I promised the dog (otherwise known as my husband) that I would actually try and scrap this weekend. So here is my one finished layout, Cooper Busted!

My funny for today; sadly, the coffee doesn't always help!


Have a good week everyone. Try and get some crafty goodness in this week and above all Stay Safe!
