Open House/Customer Appreciation Event

I had a wonderful time tonight at my open house/customer appreciation event tonight!!! I think the ladies had a good time too!

Jane tried really hard to back out of the picture.....and this is what happens!!! She looks like she's having fun!

Here are the two cards that everyone made (I received both of these as swaps at the Denver Convention):

I demonstrated techniques used on chipboard and the Pretties Kit.....

The Pretties Kit!!!!

This puppy is outstanding!!! I can't believe how many pieces come with it!!!

I used Stampin' Pastels and applied them to the flowers with a dauber. The background on this card is stamped with Baroque Motifs and embossed with Iridescent Ice embossing powder.....

I used an Aqua Painter and Groovy Guava ink for this flower.....

I left this flower white.....

Here is a hat pin from the Pretties Kit on a Love Note made at convention....

This one was also made at convention with Stampin' Pastels......

Chipboard is all the RAGE!!!!

Whether you're stamping cards, making home decor or scrapbooking.....chipboard is EVERYWHERE!!!

The star on this card uses craft ink and is embossed with clear embossing powder, making the star look glassy, like porcelein (I don't really know how to spell that word and I'm too lazy to use the spell check - but you know what I mean)....

Using Craft Ink & Iridescent Ice Embossing Powder on the star...

Another convention make-n-take....

Using White Craft Ink and stamping with Define Your Life stamp on the heart.....

I used Flowers for You designer paper - glued to the chipboard with a glue stick and sanded the edges with a sanding block....

Three for You Punch Box

Here are a few samples made using the NEW punch box (click on the picture to get a bigger view).....

MOM - I'm sad to report that I forgot to take a picture of the Chocolate Fountain you gave me for my birthday.....I think everyone really likes it - I know I do....however, I do believe that you should keep it at your house. I see some really BIG problems that could arise in the near future - I just bought all new clothes...remember....because mine all shrunk since last summer?

And you know how everything tastes good with Chocolate...I even thought about serving carrots with the bananas, pineapple, pretzels, marshmallows, strawberries and apple slices! We'll talk about that!

I'm on a roll - somebody PLEASE stop me!!!!

Here's my updated display board!!!! The scrapbook page is old...but really cute!

And as long as I was snapping pictures...here's my card display using the Baroque Motifs stamp set that I said I didn't like....ha ha ha....what was I thinking????
