A few weekends ago I went to a crafting retreat and made a record 17 cards! For me that is big, usually on retreats and crafty get together's I am too busy being social and don't come home with much of anything done--lol! Over the past week and the week's to come I am going to share some of these projects. A lot of them were from shoebox swaps, they are so much fun. Basically each person participating designs a card and then puts all the supplies to make that card into a box. Then over the course of the retreat you take a box and recreate the card! We had so many participants this time and what fantastic designs too. Here are a few that I did, designs created by these super talented friends!

Wow--17! I don't go to retreats because I know I would socialize and have a hard time creating! Very cute and beautiful cards!
Oh wow, Tracey, these are all so awesome. I'm sure you had as much fun at the Craft House as we did. Although, I don't know how you had room for as many people as you had. Lol....
Loved these cards and it was great seeing them again. And thanks for explaining what a shoebox card was.
It sounds like a wonderful time was had by all, Tracey, and making 17 cards was a great accomplishment. These cards are so different from each other, speaking to the style of the kit creator, and beautifully put together.
Goodness Tracey, what fun you all must have had - these cards are just delightful!
What a fun idea for a swap! These are all fabulous Tyrace, love that bunny!

These are all so sweet! Sounds like a fun time! :)
Sounds (and looks!) as though you had a brilliant crafty time, Tracey ... creating and socialising! Fantastic cards ... such fun to play with all those shoe box ingredients! Looking forward to seeing the rest! Hugs, Anita :)
Holy cow. These are all amazing. What a fun crafting trip that must have been.
All of your cards are fantastic, Tracey! I'm so glad you had a great time and have all these wonderful cards completed as well! It was amazing to experience that amazing house for myself and be with crafting friends. Too bad you didn't hide under one of the beds until the next weekend - we almost met!
What a clever idea to have a shoe box swap...great idea! I love it! And I can see why it is hard to be creative when you have new friends to catch up on life with...Congrats on getting 17 done!
So happy you had a wonderful time. Your cards are fabulous. I'm especially in love with that adorable bunny!
