Watercolor Pencils

I'm going to bring my big box of watercolor pencils, so if you have Prima paintables or other watercolor paper that you'd like to play with, bring it along!

Tool Time!!

I looked at the Tool list at the center and it's not real extensive...which is ok...but I think we could post what we are bringing to make sure there are no gaps or overlaps. I think a few mentioned before what they are bringing. I guess I should go look for that and add it in...but right now here's my plan...

I am bringing for sure:
Punches I commonly use: small and large corner rounder, Large Photo Corner
CM cutting system (Circle and ovals and wavy edge thingy)
Foam stamps and paint to share (I only ask that if you know you are painting something large, please bring your own paint. But just for titles and pages, share away!!)
Basic Acrylic stamps (Journaling blocks, dates) and Tim Holtz Distress inks.


I could bring...
QuicKutz Squeeze + lots of alphas and shapes
EK Succes Curvy Cutter for large circles (only template I have)
Sizzix dies (full size basics and the Sizzlets)
Even more Foam Stamps
Dymo Label maker (paper tapes)
Sewing Machine
Typewriter

I am driving down and back with Lisa and Minda, so bringing it all is not an options. But ask for your favorites or let me know if you are bringing something so we can make sure we have it covered with minimal toting.

Help for those flying in...Cardstock plus?

I can't even imagine trying to fly to a scrapbooking retreat. There is so much stuff I like to have available. Luckily, I am driving. Actually...quite a few of us are.

I am going to offer up my cardstock collection. I will bring in a P3 full of cardstock. All colors. (probably not much bling, but a lot of Bazzil for sure). I will leave it open for all to use. I will truly open it for all to take as needed, but I will put a small cup on the top for those who feel obliged to leave 40 or 50 cents for any sheets they take. This offer is open to all coming to the retreat, driving or flying.

What other things would those of you flying like to have available? I'm sure that those of us driving can bring things for you to either use or purchase if that makes sense.

I know Minda and I will each have a box of freebies. This will be ends of embellishments and sticker sheets, ribbons we are done with, buttons, die cut sheets with one or two left (you get the idea). These would be available for all to rummage through. At my last two retreats I have made pages mostly with Minda's "leftovers" and she loved them. (as did I).

So... I can keep a checklist with "open" supplies available. You are not obligated to participate, but I thought it might help out our flyers. Let me know if you are bringing something that will be open for general use. Let us know if you need something.

Sizzlits/Thin cuts Alphabets

Here's another toy I never play with:

Bounce
Curlie Girlie
Fruit Smoothie
Funky Brush
Girls are Weird
Graffiti
Playground
Sunset

Again, I'm happy to bring them to share, but since they take up space & weight I won't bring them if nobody thinks they'd be useful. Likewise, if other people have sets and they would be willing to bring them, list them here...

Quickutz Fonts?

Ditto of the last post:
I have:
Abigail
Marisa Mini
Metro
Moxie
Paige Classic
Vixen

That said, I usually don't take my QK to crops, but I'll use them if they're convenient. How about you?

Cricut Cartridges?

Minda brought up a good topic on her last post. How about if we use this thread to list the Cricut cartridges that are owned and could be shared during the weekend.

I have:
ahem, well.. none.

Somebody else, jump in!
