Hi Stampers,
Today was another wonderful Demonstrator Get Together and what a great way to start this get together….I was greeted when I first got there by one of the gals and she gave me a gift…She made this!!
It's a mug wrap that she covered with our material. Isn't this so cute.
Besides all the great chocolate in there, there was something that was totally awesome. It's McGillycuddy's Natural Honey & Cream Milk Soap. This is so special to me! Thank you Ruth!
Okay today was OSCAR Day. Our meeting used to fall on the day of the Oscars so we always incorporated that into our theme. Since we had to change the Sunday that our meetings fell on, I still kept this theme (just not on the day). Okay so here is the "Red Carpet"….
and here are our table decorations!!!
Last Month, I gave the demonstrators a challenge. They received TWO pink pieces from the New Petal Cone die. They were to decorate it as they wanted. We would then vote on the one we loved the best. We had 8 entries.
I don't know if you can see this but she died the ribbon with our folder. That IS ribbon.
This one was turned into a box. How clever!
Look at all the detail on this one. She used the LetterPress die, punches galore, look how she braided the handle and the trinkets on the heart! OMG! Simply Spectacular!
Lots of adorable things on this one!!! I love stuff.
I'm not sure if you can see it in the picture but this gal actually sewed hers. There is some adorable stitching on this.
This one to me is very romantic! Nice job.
Stamping and ribbon, and tinkets and just BEAUTIFUL!
And now for the winner…like I said, everyone voted on their favorite. I don't know who did any of them, it's all anonymous except the winner, as she gets the $25 Gift Certificate for her winning entry…so the winner is……
Isn't this adorable???!!!! She took the pink holder and added to it to make this ADORABLE VASE!! She also used the new Blossom Petals punch and Build a Blossom stamp set (found on page 12 of the Occasions Mini Catalog) to make the flowers and leaves. It's was just so stinken cute! CONGRATULATIONS JAMIE!!!!
Oh and then the food!! We had two tables full of food! mmmmm There is always good treats – and ALL healthy of course 
!
Here is one of my favorites…I'm not sure what is in it but I figured out there was cream cheese and chocolate chips…the originator of this dish was Barb Stomeroski…she didn't make it this month but she did share the receipe and someone else recreated it, we CASE stamping projects … why not CASE food too…mmmmmmm
Then let the make and takes begin…..
Here they are at the Big Shot station…hi Beth, Crhis and Linda!
And here we have one of the make and takes I did…I had the girls make two of the same card…they got to keep one and they gave one back to me. My church has a Prayer Shawl that they give to people who request them…I will donate these cards to the church to put in the bags for the recipient…They came out great. We will be donating 45 of them.
Here is the box we did. The directions for this are on my New York Inketts Website for demonstrators.
This was a card that was inspired by BJ Peters. She gave me this card at Leadership. Isn't it so cute. I had to do a triple decker one (vanilla, chocolate and strawberry)! The top scoop pulls out to display your message on the inside!
Look how adorable this one is. We used a lot of the Sale-a-Bration embellishments. I can't wait for SPRING!!!!
We used the Blossom Petals punch and Build a Blossom stamp set (found on page 12 of the Occasions Mini Catalog) for this card.
And we used that same stamp and punch for this card but we used different pieces.
We also did a swap and came home with 23 MORE cards (if you love to stamp, join us, we go home with so much stuff). Phew, what a great day! If you'd like to be part of this fantastic team, contact me, I'd love to have you join us once a month at these get togethers. Take care and I hope you stop by tomorrow.
Happy Valentine's Day!
