Here is the last of my pictures of the Hostess Apreciation Event. Seemed to be another successful day. At the end is the projects we made.
Here is the start of STAMP (bingo). We played 3 games each with 3 winners. Then we played Blackout for a larger prize. Boy did I get lucky. With all the Stampin' Up! items they could make their card out of it came down to 2 or 3 left when we finally got a STAMP Blackout. We almost had 20 Blackouts at the same time. I would have had to quickly come up with some prizes if that had happened.






Sometimes I would really like to know what is going on in these pictures but this is just 2 fun loving & crazy ladies having a little fun.

Project 1: Card with large Paper Clip bookmark
Kelli Hansen & Nancy Carpenter were over one night & asked if I needed any help with anything as they knew I was a bit behind. I asked if they would want to come up with a card using a 4 in paper clip to be made into a bookmark. They worked very well together. Came up with the card & even cut all the pieces & bagged them up for each person. I just had to have the Snail adhesive, stamps & ink ready. Thank you both so much.
This used the following Stampin' Up! products:
Big Shot, Perfect Polka Dots textured impressions embossing folder, Beautiful Wings embosslit die, retired cardstock, retired grosgrain ribbon & retired designer series paper, Teeny Tiny Wishes stamp set, Scallop Edge Border punch, Fancy Flower punch, couple small circle punches & flower punches, Fun Flowers Bigz L Die.

The second project was an Inspiration Tin that could also be made into a little scrapbook or brag book if they would like instead.

Each side had 4 spots to fill. I thought it would make a good Graduation gift which I am using mine for but I also think it would be a great Mother's Day gift also. I am even making some using other retired designers series papers to sell this year.

Stampin' Up! products uses: Current & retired cardstock & Designers Series Paper. Big Shot, Perfect Polka Dots textured impressions embossing folder, Beautiful Wings embosslit die, Corner Punch, Decorative Label Punch, Photo Corners Punch, Dotted Scallop Ribbon Dotted Punch, Fancy Flower Punch, Modern Label Punch, Scallop Oval Punch, Define Your Life stamp set, Smarty Pants stamp set, God's Blessing stamp set, Word Play stamp set, some retired Stampin' Up! word stamp sets, sponges & inks.



Thank you to all my Hostessess. I could not do what I do without all of you. I also want to thank my mother, Kathleen Hansen, for all her help over the years with a place for me to have all of you over and all the punching & cardstock and ribbon cutting she has done for me. I love you all.
