Craft Haven Retreats - Sunshine Trio Magnificent Monday Guest on the Pink Paper Bakery Blog!

I'm so honored to be today's Magnificent Monday guest on the PinkPaper Bakery blog! Thank you, Deena for inviting me to share some of my creations with your readers.

For today's cards, Sunshine Trio, my inspiration came from my favorite stamp from the Single Assortment # 4 - Sunshine! You Are My Sunshine was always a favorite bedtime song when my kids were young, and now I sing it to my grandchildren. So when Stampin' Up! released this new single stamp, I knew I just had to have it! I choose one of my favorite color combinations to work with, Whisper White, Basic Grey and Daffodil Delight. So sunny and cheerful, perfect for this set of cards!

Village of Christmas Cuteness Featuring Holly Berry Bouquet DSP

Hello!  Remember us, Craft Haven Retreats?  This year has passed in the blink of an eye for Nanci and I.  We haven't posted since March!  My camera decided to stop working and I did not replace it until Black Friday!  Lake View Lodge kept us pretty busy this spring and summer.  Nanci attended the Stampin' Up! Convention in Utah this past July and I became a demonstrator later that month as well.  

We decided to hold our December Club meeting one week after our November Club, so that two hostesses from our club could take advantage of the additional hostess benefits that Stampin' Up! was offering.   While at Convention, Nanci participated in the Village of Cuteness class and she decided that our club should make a Village of Christmas Cuteness at our December meeting.

Village of  Christmas Cuteness

All our club members were thrilled with the project!  Our villages sparkle with Glimmer Paper, Mica Flakes, and Dazzling Diamonds!

Nanci downloaded this My Digital Studio stamp image from Welcome Christmas and sized it to fit the project!

We love the dimension that the wood sheet layers give this door.  

We will all enjoy our Village of Christmas Cuteness for years to come.  One of our club members suggested that we could add to it each year by adding a church, stores, or additional homes.  We hope this post will inspire you to start your own Village of Christmas Cuteness!  Nanci and I wish you, your family and friends a safe holiday season and a happy new year!
