This is one of the projects we made on the cruise, everyone received the magnetic frame and we made the removable pieces that went inside. This was so fun to create! Most of the dies are from the Seaside Wishes bundle.
Amy Hooks (a wood-cutting friend of mine) cut out the intricate letters in the top panel (our logo font), as well as the anchor and intricate flip flops. THANKS AMY!
I designed a treat box that kind of went with the “Love Boat” theme, except I changed the wording to “The Creative Boat. My team mate, Pat Brannin, was brave enough to tackle this treat and make everyone one. I love how she found “SEA SALT” caramel chocolates to go with the theme! THANKS PAT!
This is an envelope opener treat, which makes opening cards so much easier! My helper, Kathy Belcher and I collaborated designing this one, but Kathy had the stamina to make everyone one! THANKS KATHY!
On the last day of our trip, these thank you gifts were at the gal’s place setting. Kathy designed and made all of these! THANKS AGAIN, Kathy!

My heart is overflowing with happiness as I reflect on hosting my very first paper-crafting cruise! It’s hard to find the words to describe the amazing week we had in the Caribbean last week. What a true blessing it was to have 51 creative women join us for this event! A heartfelt THANK YOU to every one of you for attending—YOU are the reason this experience was so much fun!
I am incredibly thankful for my amazing helper, Kathy Belcher. She gave so many hours to help me, came to my home day after day and week after week, along with spending many hours working from her own home! (I joked that I wanted to give her a room in our house until we finished! LOL). I truly couldn’t have accomplished this without her help!
I am excited to share many photos from our week, so hold on!
This was the swag bag, filled with projects, instructions, gifts, products, and LOTS of surprises! I wanted a “multipurpose” type bag, that they could use even when they were home, or at a beach. That way when they use it, they will always have our trip memories tucked in their hearts!
You know I am a sucker for personalized things – each gal got their own bag-tag. My hubby, Dan, has an employee who works wonders on our 3-D printer!
This was the banner that was hung on each gal’s door (th magnets), so we would recognize our attendees when we were in the hallways!
Kathy made these last summer when she drove on her annual trip to the midwest (to get some relief from the AZ summer.) She did a great job on these!
We put them on the doors of our private conference rooms, as well.
I sewed these reversable fabric trash bags for the gals. Everyone received their own, and kept it them at their work station. They got to set up “camp” at their table, and didn’t have to rotate tables.
This made it easy for them to leave their work, come back, and pick up right where they left off. I got the bag pattern online and Angie Juda was the pattern maker.
I like attention to detail, so I ordered customer fabric tags. I sewed them into the side seam of the bag.
Everyone received their own super-sized cup with their name on it, of course with our logo, too! I made these by cutting vinyl on my Silhouette machine. The cups hold 24 oz!!!
Everyone received a cute little suitcase that held their own shammy inside (shammy’s cut down) in a plastic container. I made labels of all the port stops we made on the cruise and a logo luggage tag. You can see the plastic container on the left side in the photo above. It slides in and out.
Of course, everyone received a lanyard. This helped on a large ship so we could recognize people in our group, not to mention help us with all the new names we learned this week!
Today is the LAST day to sign up for the February Online Card Club! The Round We Go bundle will be featured. You can read more about how the club works by clicking the link below.
