Craft Retreat Games

by Richelle Naegle

I don’t know about you, but I love to attend scrapbook retreats. Around these parts, we just refer to them as “craft day.” Generally, we meet at the host’s house, bring our craft materials, swap ideas, eat a lot of delicious food, and most importantly, enjoy each other’s company. Craft retreat games always make for a fun time.

Twice a year we do a whole girls’ weekend! NO husbands, NO kids, just a fun weekend of crafting! Generally speaking, everyone comes to scrapbook, but we often have people sewing, painting, etc. The next craft retreat is at my house so I thought it might be fun to play games that fit the theme of the event.

Mini Monsters Cricut Cartridge Ideas

by Richelle Naeglesea monster card from cricut min monsters

Do you need a little last-minute Halloween inspiration? Here are a few really quick and easy-to-make Halloween cards that you could throw together as a last-minute solution. For all these cards, I used the Mini Monsters Cricut cartridge. Ideas for this cartridge are easy to come by because it has so many fun images.

This first card is 5″ x 7″, and the sea monster was cut out at 4.5″. I think he has to be my favorite monster on this cartridge! The Happy Halloween is drawn using the Cricut Explore Air. You can recreate any of these cards and make them your own by getting creative with the patterned cardstock you choose.
