A Creative Journey with Melissa December Release Design Team Project

Welcome to the monthly NEW RELEASES for A Creative Journey with Melissa. Normally, we have a new release EVERY second Wednesday of the month. However, in January, we will be going to the Craft and Hobby Association (CHA) Convention. So, we will NOT have a new stamp release in January. The CHA Convention is located in Anaheim, California and super close to Disneyland. We are looking forward to learning some great new things! One of the BEST things about this convention is you get to see the latest and greatest of the Craft and Hobby Industry. We are shown BEFORE they are released to the public! Instead of new stamp releases, we will be showing you the latest products BEFORE they are released to the public. It is an amazing show and we hope you will join us in our adventure. If you are creative, you are going to LOVE IT! It will feel like you are right there with us! To check out pictures from last year, go to our facebook photo album. You will see some AMAZING THINGS. We can't wait to share them with you! If you are interested in finding out if you qualify to be a CHA member visit Craft and Hobby Association. I am a Design Team member for A Creative Journey with Melissa. I am thrilled to be able to share these creations with you today! The new stamp releases are the Sentiments for all Occasions and the Sign Language Numbers - American Sign Language stamp sets. We are also highlighting our amazingly cute and versatile Everyday Alphabet Outline Upper and Lower Case and Everyday Alphabet Outline Numbers and Symbols stamp sets throughout this hop as well. I am highlighting the Everyday Alphabet Outline Upper and Lower Case and Everyday Alphabet Outline Numbers and Symbols stamp set for this blog hop. Here are the projects I have created!

#WeekendCraftFiesta at #TheScrappinShack in Lake Arrowhead, Ca

I've neglected my blog for a while now. But, I am back! I am excited to share with you all my latest and greatest crafty adventures... Let me start with sharing how I celebrated my birthday last month!

So I decided I wanted to do a craft retreat with a few of my crafty friends for my birthday... I wanted it to be fun, but most of all I also wanted to celebrate a few of my crafty friends' birthdays which were very close to mine.

 

 

So we rented thee most awesome cabin in Lake Arrowhead, Ca - The Scrappin' Shack. It is set up specifically for cropping. There are 8 tables set up in the crop room. Besides having a great set up to craft in, the house is so cozy and comfortable! We rented the cabin from Thursday June 5, 2014 through Sunday, June 8, 2014. First thing I did upon arriving is decorate! I wanted the mood to be festive and fun! I strung streamers and hung tissue paper fans.

 

We had a great time! We all brought different projects to share and gifts for each other. It was so much fun to create the projects that we brought for each other. The gifts were great! I felt so spoiled for the weekend! It was a great time spent with awesome friends! We ventured out for an early dinner on Saturday. We ended up at Papagayo's in Lake Arrowhead Village. It was yummy to say the least! That evening, we celebrated with birthday cupcakes and ice cream sundaes!

 

My creative goal that weekend was to be productive in making some cards. I finished almost 20! So in my eyes, it was a success! In between all the crafting, we sipped on wine and raflled off prizes. We had such a good time that I am planning #WeekendCraftFiesta2 for the fall!
