I'm not an expert at crafting retreats but the three I've been lucky to attend have been such a pleasure. I love the pace and there's no pressure to complete, ideas, tips and techniques to take away.
My tray was a pleasure to put together and I finally finished it this week. I did have a little boo boo moment when I made the heart. I used a cookie cutter to cut the UTEE and paper butterfly. I wasn't happy with the thickness of the UTEE so decided to re-heat with the cutter on the paper. Oh Oh!!! it welded itself to the cutter. Did I worry, No, I quite like it framed and it will remind me now not to do it again. I enjoyed the freedom of making this project I bought another tray to make.
Thanks for stopping by

Absolutely stunning. It was a fun fab weekend and I cannot wait for the next one.
Sounds like you had a super time indeed. There's so much to occupy the eyes & interest in this & I love your reminder about the cookie cutter! The balance between the branch top left & the branch middle right is gorgeous & I particularly like how one is set into a frame & the other is raised. The clock is delightful.

Beautiful tray and the heart looks great with the cookie cutter frame! Cheers, Shirleyx
Fantastic Debbie looks like you had a lot of fun, I love the way the heart has it own little frame, amazing project.

Gorgeous Debbie, and I love your colour scheme. Your heart frame must have been serendipity - even though you'll now have to buy another biscuit cutter! Amazing how different all our boxes turned out, and what a great weekend we had. Sarah x
PS - I wonder if it would have made a difference if you had smeared glycerine or Versamark on the cutter before heating to help it release?
