We are not going to talk about anything involving teeth or the mouth, or oral surgery today, ok? I am SICK of this subject! I'll only say I would continue to ask for your prayers on this 26th straight day of pain, pain, pain. : (
Let's talk about something a LOT more fun–in fact, one of my very favoritest subjects of all–my amazing downline team! We had a wonderful group meeting Monday night, and my girls really outdid themselves with swaps, Make N Takes, and challenge entries. We had four first-timers and two of our newest "members"–baby Charlie and baby Logan!
Here's just a few of the highlights! Penni's gorgeous brooch card won the swap contest…
amongst some very tough competition, like this stencilled card by Allana!
This was my swap card. I am still not sure I like it. I wanted to do something completely 100% different than I have been seeing with the Mixed Bunch stamp set and Blossom punch. it's different, anyway!
Cristy did her entire Regionals presentation for us, that so wow'd everyone in Milwaukee in March. She had since come up with even more amazing samples and twists on the original design, so it was really somethng to see.
We had four Make N Takes–a version of the Summer Smooches cards I have been showing you, Penni showed the new Petite Purse die, and then this adorable "I Dig You" card by Michelle. Lynn brought a great little project she found on Pinterest, a box made from one of our Simply Sent card kits, originally designed by Julie Davidson. She even brought the candy to go inside it!
We had way too much to talk about, with all the exciting news and announcements from Stampin' Up, so a couple of things got bumped to our May meeting. If you're local to Watertown, WI, and you're a demonstrator or thinking of becoming one, you are very welcome to join my Song of My Heart Demonstrator meetings. The next one is May 14th at 6:30 p.m. I will be back from the Disney incentive trip, and we'll have the NEW CATALOG in our hot little hands, as well as the new In Colors and much more. Shoot me an email if you want to come and see what it's all about!
Lyssa: I noticed a written tutorial from Cristy in the background. Any chance of sharing this? I might just purchase the set if I can do this type of card with them.
Love this box you made with the Simply Sent card! Do you have instructions?
Angie, if you google Julie Davidson’s blog, I understand there is a handout.
Cristy’s blog is Tinker With Ink. I believe she has a video of the Flip Flop Framelits technique she demo’d at regionals.
