Hello Stampers,
I have such an awesome group of demonstrators in my downline and my local group got together last week for our annual Christmas/Holiday part. While the numbers were lower than usual (lots and lots of flu cancellations) the 9 of us that did come had so much fun! The creativity was high and so was the energy.
We had a shoebox swap plus an awesome Secret Santa gift exchange.
Here's some pictures of the night and the swaps….
I made these little bottle decorations for our water bottles – aren't they fun?
You always need food and chocolate is a particular necessity!!
Here's Kim, Rhonda, Liane and Allison just waiting for the Secret Santa gift exchange to start. Allison Bourne was our referee. LOL
This was my Secret Santa gift – make by Kim Lee. Isn't this just beautiful? It's a little book called Define Your Life, A to Z. Each page uses a definition from the Define Your Life stamps set along with the Defining Alphabet. All the Santa gifts were awesome – I was so thrilled to get this one!
This was the swap by Lisa Pedrini. It's a little gift enclosure card.
When you open the card there is a little pocket for inserting a gift card – love it!
Swap by Kim Lee – look carefully and you'll see that the white layer is a Top Note Die cut which Kim cut around the stitched line which made it slightly smaller than the pink layer so it could be layered.
Both of these cards were supplied by Liane Binder – soooo pretty!
Okay…this is so clever. Rhonda used the Pick a Petal stamp set to create these candles…so pretty and very unique!
This is such a simply elegant card by Donna Garing. I love the subtle colours that Donna used and the rhinestone brad in the star. Such a beautiful card.
Lastly here is a beautiful card from Michelle Moore – love the colours and the layers on this card. Fabulous!
Happy Stamping,
Alison
I’m so sad that I missed the party, Alison. It looks like you all had such a wonderful time and super swaps and gifts!
