This is a great thing to think about as you plan your crafting packing list for the Scrappy Stampers' Getaway.
Personally, I use my Memento ALL the time. I love to color with the Blends, so It is definitely my go to if I need black ink. I use it so much I have two ink pads!

Which ink do you use more and why?

I am SOOO happy to have a hard copy of the September to December Mini Catty! There are SOOO MANY things I want. Yes, I spent my shoe money for this month on my pre-order!

Anyway, I did get a few fabulous things to use at World Card Making Day for my Card Kits.
I also ordered some fantastic products that will be a part of my Winter Sampler kit at the Scrappy Stampers' Getaway!

If you would like your very own copy of the Mini Catty, please let me know. I would love to share one with you!

Not every Getaway has smooth sailing. This one did until today when we have been delayed by stormy weather. Our original flight was to land a bit before midnight, now we are delayed and will hopefully be in by a bit before 2:00am. But on the bright side, the dogtherss will meet us when we get home, the cats have been fed and unlike may of our Raleigh friends we will arrive home to electricity. Oh, yes, and my honey makes sure we always has our Admiral's Club Membership. Yes, I am spoiled. =-)

All of this made me think of a card I created for my Crafternoon crew last month. It also made me think of Jay's dear stepfather with whom we sailed many times. Jim always reminded us that sailing was 23 and a half hours of bliss/pleasure and thirty minutes of sheer terror every day. While our day has not been that bad, the fellow in front of us on the flight from OKC to DFW had just arrived in OKC this morning only to learn that his home had been destroyed by a tornado. He had immediatley booked a flight hone. Fortunately, while he did loose property, his family were all safe and sound.
So, we may not always have smooth sailing, but we can always find them something good even in the inconveniences of life, like a delayed flight.

So, I am having a personal Scrappy Stampers' Getaway with my hunny this weekend.
We are visiting my mom and sisters in OKC and attending a reunion of our Camp Takatoka family tomorrow. We met at Camp Tak in 1990. He was the Pool Director and I was the Infirmary Supervisor. We are a Romcom! 😀

Everyone has enjoyed cards featuring the Faux Silk technique that have been a part of the Card Kits available during the Scrappy Stampers' Getaway. It is also a personal favorite of mine!
What kinds of techniques would you like me to use for the Card Kits in 2024? I would LOVE to know!

I actually got to stamp today! I was asked if one of the projects for Countless Cards Crafternoons in August could use the Sea Turtle stamp set and Faux Silk technique. My answer was "Absolutely!" and here is the result!

I can't wait to make it with everyone next week! If you would like to join us, contact me today!

As I have mentioned before, Kits are an excellent thing to take to work on at the Scrappy Stampers' Getaway! It makes them even better when they are on sale! It is NEVER too early to start planning those projects!
Here are a few more reasons why kits are SO great!
Kits are fun, quick and easy, and all-inclusive so there’s nothing extra to buy and nothing to store afterward.

Completing a kit gives crafters a sense of artistic accomplishment.

Completed kits make great gifts. You can make the projects and then give them away for someone else to use.

Because kits come in so many styles and project types, there’s something for everyone!

Contact me to start ordering your favorites tomorrow or use the August Hostess Code: 4EXQGY7W when shopping at my Online Store!

Did you know that you don't have to stamp or craft 24/7 at the Getaway? You can if you want to, but it's not a requirement.

Sometimes, the Getaway is like my day yesterday. I didn't get a lot crafting done, but I did take a little time for myself to play in the pool. It was nice to just be with Jay and the dogthers and be a little silly.

So, while you are planning your crafty projects, also think about what else might make your heart happy, like a walk on the beach, a nap, a swim or just enjoying the company of old friends and new.

PS this post started with the first picture, but Luna had other ideas and decided she needed to lend her mama a paw. Naturally, Sadie gave kisses and support, too!

I love this idea! Will have to give it a try!
Have you used the Foam Adhesive Sheets? What did you do with them?

There was a little wine and a LOT of stamping last night during Mystery Stamping. Here is my finished card. I did tweak it a bit this afternoon adding the Happy Birthday in the middle layer and stamping the inside.

A lot of people as me what the Scrappy Stampers' Getaway is like and the best answer I can give is like all my events it is a LOT of fun. Everyone works on their projects which range from card making and scrapbooking to 3D projects and decor and everything in between. Like Mystery Stamping we also have a lot of fun!

If you would like all the measurements and a product list please visit my blog. If you have questions about Mystery Stamping or are curious about the Getaway, please comment below or feel free to contact me. I would love to help you!

My wonderful assistant, Becca, got all my catalogs back to 2000 organized! Mine are all nice, neat and shelved! She boxed the extras. If you would like retired catalogs to help you organize and remember what you have or for creative inspiration, PLEASE let me know. I will be happy to share!

Becca also sorted and organized the mountain of cello and storage bags I have accumulated. I am such a happy stamper right now!

Jay may never get his summer intern back!

So, my dear hubby didn't need his amazing summer intern at the office today, so she did a bit of organizing for me. I love it!

All my stamp sets and dies are arranged alphabetically and the retired ones are labeled. My embossing folders are labeled with their name AND organized alphabetically! AND finally all my retired punches are labeled.
