.Stampin' Up.

Five lovely ladies from my small group and my cousin's wife, Laura {a nice surprise} came for a night of crafting Wednesday. It was good to finally meet the Stampin' Up demonstrator, Rhonda, who i've been chatting with on the phone for weeks about this class and another project i've got going {i'll share soon!} Also, gotta say i'm happy about having a demonstrator in the same town as me for once-never know when I might need her ;) Here is a link to her website for Stampin' Up products


The photo above is the adorable thank you she brought me for hosting the party. It opens! And there were tiny chocolates inside! Covered in Razzleberry Lemonade patterned paper! i'm in love with it. Made with the new Stampin' Up Big Shot die-cutting system and Razzle Dazzle stamp set
She brought three designs for us to make. The first two using the NEW Medallion background stamp and NEW in color Melon Mambo. Then, for the final project we used Dasher for a Christmas card. I tried to capture its beauty but, the glitter just can not sparkle like in person...so pretty! I love the design Rhonda put together for us-so simple. Background embossed with Big Shot Texturz Plate. What a refreshing evening of crafting with friends along with a preview of all the new Stampin' Up products! My wist is a mile long now! Here are the ladies crafting away. I turned the living room into a craft space by moving the dining table in and rearranging a little. Worked out great and I think I could even squeeze in a few more seats next time.
