Bonus Project Photos from the August SUper Friend Gathering

 Hi!  Happy Tuesday!  Popping in today to share a few more photos from the August SUper Friends Gathering.  I debated about sharing these because honestly the photo quality is pretty poor (I blame the "mood lighting" in my kitchen!)  However, I decided that the greatness of the projects outweighs my embarrassment over my photo quality (or serious lack thereof!)

So, here we go!  This first photo is of some of our swaps set out and ready for exchanging, along with some of Jana's gorgeous creations with sneak peek items from the Holiday Catalog (coming Thurs., September 1st!!!  Not long now!)  Jana's cards are along the left and bottom of the photo.  Swap projects are more to the middle and top.

Here's a close up of Jana's llama card (created with the Fa-la-la-la Friends stamp set and Christmas Pines Stamp Set and Pretty Pines Thinlits Bundle):

And, here's an adorable Cookie Cutter Halloween Dracula in a coffin Jana created for him using the Home Sweet Home Thinlits:

I love that Jana lined the coffin with red felt, and heat embossed Dracula's vest with the Real Red Glitter Stampin' Emboss Powder, which will also be available in the Holiday Catalog.

Plus, Judy-Ann brought along an awesome make and take for us!  She shared with us two projects by Gosia MacKinnon (click her name to see the projects that inspired Judy-Ann's creations, including instructions), using the Detailed Floral Thinlits Dies to create a gorgeous treat holder and votive holder:

Don't you love the tag Judy-Ann created for her treat holder?!  So perfect!!!

And, here is Judy-Ann's sample votive holder:

I have one more creation by Judy-Ann to share with you as well, but I'm saving it for this week's Fabulous Friends Friday!  Stay tuned!!!  May have to create a video with this one, too . . . hmm. . . .

Thanks so much for the extra inspiration, Jana and Judy-Ann!  And, thank you for visiting my blog!!!
