Play Day?

This weeks Play Day is Garage Sale Day!

So instead of "playing" we will be "working"

but when you are spending the day with friends, it doesn't matter what you are doing

it is always just plain fun.

So for today I will show you a fun project we made at last weeks play day.

Actually our play day gang is growing!!  Jackie popped in and offered to do "whatever"

and Sue also came for a short time.  Baby Owen stayed for the morning, but then daddy picked him up so Rachel could play all afternoon.  This was a rare treat for her to be able to stay all day.

 You can see what a mess we make while we are "playing"

Jackie is the one on the left.  She used to work for the Meijer grocery store chain as a cashier.

She mentioned that she was going out on Friday evening with her Meijer gal pals.

Last week Glenda had a Customer Appreciation Night and made these cute bags for everyone

using the Fancy Favor Box Die #115965 $39.95.

 

 

Since I helped her out by loaning her supplies for her large group, 

she gifted me with one of the bags.

I told Jackie we should make some bags like that and make them look like grocery sacks and she could give them to the gals as a treat.  Jackie's response was "yeah, just make them up like that, huh?" and we said "YEAH!" We set everything aside and we all worked together to give Jackie a hand in creating a fun gift for her friends.

I printed out the Meijer logo from their website and we added that to the front of the bags

Jackie stamped "So Glad We're Friends" from the retired stamp set Best Yet to create the sign.

 I think they turned out ADORABLE!!!

She texted me that night to let me know that the ladies thought they were GREAT!!

Thanks For Stopping By!

Have A Blessed Day!!

Fancy Favor Box

Today our Stampin’ group – the Red Hot Stampers – is having a 10 hour scrapbooking event. We are expecting up to 40 ladies to attend so we should have a super fun day! (I will be posting the scrapbook pages that I complete soon.) There are 7 of us Demonstrators that are pooling our efforts into this fun event and each Demonstrator was to make a Fancy Favor Box for all the guests that signed up under her, then we would fill it with candy that we all brought.

This is the box that I made…

Change up the words and it would make a cute wedding favor don’t you think? I also embossed the box with the Elegant Bouquet Embossing Folder. I really like how it adds that little bit of dimension to it. The paper I used is called “Bride” Specialty paper. It also comes in “Groom” – blacks, and “Bridesmaid” – vanilla.

My friend and co-demonstrator, Rachel , taught us how to make these pansies from the butterfly punch. I brought my pansy home from the meeting and made this card…

This is a close up of the flower. Each flower comes out looking totally different. On Tuesday I will be teaching this technique to the ladies who attend my very first techniques class. I can hardly wait! And there is still time to sign up...just give me a call. I will share the card we make with our pansies on my Wednesday blog post.

So For Now…

Happy Stamping!!

STAMP 10

Here are three of the Christmas cards that we made at last weeks STAMP 10 Class.

A fun little Snow girl – if you remember I love to create things with our fabulous punches.

How easy to design a card using our wonderful Designer Series Paper. This one here is using the paper called Holiday Lounge.

Can’t forget to make a special card for the kids, right This one here is using the stamp set Choo Choo.

Notice all the sparkles on these cards… the ladies went home looking FABULOUS!! with all the sparkles over their hands, face and clothing! We all got a great chuckle out of that.

Happy Stamping - Christi
