Stampers Club Night 12-6-08

Hi Stampers :

 This past Saturday I had  our Stampers  club meeting and I thought I would share  some photos  with you .. JoJo  was our hostess for  this event  & 2 of my Stampin  Queens  brought their  Christmas cards to show all of us . I  want to share them with you  today since their cards  are sooo Awesome . I was told by both of my Stampin queens  that  a couple cards were cased   from others  on SCS and wanted to make sure I  mentioned that( They didn't remember  who though )  . Please click on image  to enlarge your  viewing .

   The 1st 2 are stamped by Laura W.  I  don't know which is my  favorite since I  love them  both since they  are using  one of my  favorite  Christmas stamp sets  this  year ( Christmas classic # 111566) . Fabulous cards  girlie .

 

 

The next photo  are the cards  that Laurie N made  she actually  brought the Santa  candy bar wrapper and also the  matching card  for me .. YAHOO!! Is he  just the  cuttest thing or what ? The  other 2 cards  are also  stamped By Laurie BOY do they sparkle too ( she used the Holiday Lineup stamp set # 111648  for  those  .  

Here are  some other random photos  of our Club night . I also wanted to let  my Club  girls know that  those that  couldn't make it  to  club night  ( Philly, Laura, Kristen, Jenny & Carol ) both  club projects  will be featured this week in Video  format  . We always have so much fun at our  club  night . I would try  and explain  a few of these  photos  BUT that may take  to much time Hee! Hee! I suppose you  Just had to be there  to  understand :) 

Have a Fabulous Monday  Stampers and I will see  you  all again tomorrow

Here is our  Hostess Kristin  with her hostess  cards I made her.. ( I used the SUMMER PICNIC DS paper  along with BIG BOLD BIRTHDAY stamp set  OOO and look at the new STRIPED Bashful blue GG ribbon too ) OH my  goodness Kristin  brought  us such  awesome goodies to eat & MY favorite was Kristin's Chicken Spaghetti YUMM-O!! .Here are a couple upclose photos of  Kristin's cards I made her . We had our Club meeting  at my moms home  this month  and  since it   stormed outside   everyone was saying we  should have been at my house in the basement  :-) 1st Tornado  watch until 9:00pm , then the sky was  doing freaky things  then the  down pour of Rain  and then Hail .. Gee whiz it  was such a weird storm,  But nothing  could keep us stampers from having a Great time .. My club girls are a Great bunch of  women. I had a Request for  my Stamp-a-stack event  in May so I will get started working on  that event .. Will keep you posted girls  when  this  fun night  SO if YOU want to come  and join the fun with us in Pontiac  Michigan you can . I will share sneak peeks of the  cards we will be making in the upcoming weeks :-)

My Hostess Book

I resently  purchased this super  cute  ON BOARD BITTY BOOK and  decided  when I  got  it I would  use it  for all my hostess's  this  upcoming year ( ya know a simple way for me to  keep track of  who gets invited to my next years Hostess  Appreciation party )   pretty  clever huh?  Hee! Hee! .. I used  the ROUND UP  simply  scrappiing  kit  for decorating it  and I just love love love how it turned out .. each Hostess will get her photo  taken at  her club night or  workshop   and  I will  design a tiny  scrapbook page to  slide inside the pages which are  3 1/4 X 3 1/4  size  such a  cute little  book , Notice  the cute  photo on the very back .. I thought it would be nice to see who all  was invited  to this past October  Hostess appreciation party .. I also added  a few  sliver  eyelets  on the  overside  album sleeve( which comes with the book  all for 9.95 +S&H and tax )with my  CROP-A-DILE (which I love ) This  book is sooo easy to  decorate  and so many things you  can use this book for .. I will be making  another  one for  my  Daughters Homecoming   again this year.. These make really nice  personal   gifts for your loved ones for the  upcoming Holidays .

Added  at 10.50 am

DAWNS SIDE NOTE: I just wanted to clear up that  this book is for ME  not  for all my hostess's  I  take a photo of my hostess  and  add them  to a  scrapbook page to fit inside  this  book .. It is for me to refer back on  all my hostess's I had  for the upcoming year .. Hope  this helps .. 

Yesterday was a whirl wind  from the min my  feet hit the floor  what a  AWESOME   day ..  I will be sharing photos  of  our trip  to the  Detroit Science  Center on my  other blog " COUNTING MY BLESSINGS" this week  OH and lets not  forget  today is Thankful Tuesday  over there too  girls

Thanks so much for peeking in today and Hope your Tuesday is  as Wonderful as I think YOU all are .. .

Until Tomorrow ... Happy  Stampin!!

Glitter Queens Meeting this past Saturday ..

Hi girls :

  Our Glitter Queens  meeting was alot of fun  and we were  stampin the time away .. I  knew I wanted to  do at least 2 M&T's  since it was soo long  since I held one . Sad to say but it  was nearly 1 year ago since our last get  together ( Bad Dawn I know  HUH?) .. Anyway .. We all made this cute Christmas card  which I cased  from  ANDREA. Our 2nd M&T was centered around  the Manila folder tag book we are seeing everywhere . I used  1/2  of  the folder  to make  this smaller  version    Here is what  that looks like finished .  I just think these are the cutest thing   Here are our  shoebox swaps  from our meeting ..

1st is Harriet's card she used  the  spooky  skyline  jumbo wheel and the  Home is where the  Haunt is .. along with  chocolate chip  and pumpkin pie  Cards  stock and the  creepy  crawly  designer paper .  she also  added  Hodge  podge hard wear  buckle  and  mustard  GG ribbon

Here is my moms   shoe box swap .. she  used the  baroque Motifs  set along with the happy Birthday saying from the Voila' Set  . We used  bashful blue  Cardstock  with Night  of Navy classic ink with the dauber . both cards used  Dazzling diamonds  of  course  cause it  is  by all means a GLITTER queens  meeting ya know  Hee! Hee!

Lastly here is my  shoe box swap card .. I used the  season of Joy  set  with river rock  cardstock and  the DASHING  designer paper  with of course the  white  gel pen ..    For the Ink I used was  Always artichoke ( tree)  and River  rock  and Real red . Our glitter queens meeting was  alot of fun ..  and sooo sorry  a few of my  girls  couldn't make the meeting .. There is  always next time .

Until later ... Happy  Stampin!

Club meetings this September ...

This  card  was our Other Club project for the month of  Sept .. Don't you just love  Gate  cards ? I  was sooo excited about  doing this card   Not only  cause  we got to use Mr Spider  again  and those googlie eyes .. But I just love this  type of  fold   I used  Groovy Guava  and Black  Card stock  along with whisper white  and  the new  double stitched  Groovy  Guava  ribbon ( Love that )  We also added  glitter to  the  2 spiders  on  club night BUT  this  sample does not reflect that sorry .. ( It is soo much better with glitter ) Wink wink . This was also my  1st draft in making the card  before  our actual meetings so I stamped the inside with  the  web wishes  greetings .. ( retired )   What a Great Bunch of  fun girls we have at our club meetings ..  Never a dull moment thats  for sure .. sometimes  I  laugh  so Hard I think I may PIMP's ( pee in my pants )    Our East side club  was on the 21st of September   and Our  Stampers club 6  was  this past Friday night . Susan was not able to make  it to  our  Stampers club meeting this month ..  HI Susan we miss you !!! Have a Great Monday girls  and thanks  for popping in
