Silhouette Spring Retreat

This past weekend was our Silhouette  Spring Retreat, and first event of 2019!  It was an amazing weekend with 35 women attending, along with 5 Terri Johnson Creates Instructors and myself!    Anytime you get 40 like minded women together, who all share a love of Silhouette — it is guaranteed to be a party!  And this weekend did not disappoint!

Instruction & tutorials were shared for 9 fun projects — but even more important than the finished projects, were the techniques and software features that were taught during the creation of those files & projects.  We explored a lot of different software features, and even the instructors learned some things from one another!  Rolled Fabric Flowers, Reverse Canvas, Silkscreen, Faux Rhinestones with Glitter & Holographic HTV, Designing a Perpetual Calendar, Stenciled Painted Box, Glitter Laminate from Sparkleberry, Card in a Box, Faux Leather Earrings, and more!!

Elly Habets of Silhouette Secrets+, Lycia Evanoff of Caught by Design, Libby Ashcraft of Libbys Loft, and Julie Huggins of Sew Craft N’Spired Creations — all shared such great projects and were always available & willing to jump in and help with anything!  And Lisa Hoyt helped us all weekend – -as well as made some awesome Name badges with her Button machine!

Here are a few pics of the weekend, that will give you a feel for what we did & what its all about!!
