Stamp Camp! Celebrating the New Catalog!

Last month, nearly 4 weeks ago now (Yes, I'm a horrible blogger!) I hosted a stamp camp celebrating the release of the brand new, fabulous, beautiful, exciting Stampin' Up Spring/Summer Idea Book & Catalog! And, celebrate, we did! Nearly 2 dozen of my favorite, fun stamping friends showed up to the Community Building with me. We talked, we laughed, we ate and most importantly -- we stamped!

I designed (/copied) 6, gorgeous (if I do say so myself) cards for everyone to make. The gals all made 2 of each design -- 1 to keep and 1 to share. I used stamp sets and accessories from the new book to let everyone get a feel for them before they started making their long wish lists! I also used several stamp sets from the Sale-a-Bration promotion so each gal would be enticed to spend their $50 to earn one of those sets for FREE! (And Don't Forget - this promotion ends on Tuesday, March 31 - get your orders to me before then!)

Lookit all those gals, working hard!

Kelly - workin' hard with that ribbon... THANK YOU for being my "guest demonstrator" tomorrow!

Stamping and chatting; Chatting and stamping - doesn't get much better'n that!

We had a great time and I'm looking forward to doing it all again tomorrow night when we'll take a back at 6 techniques that are oldies but goodies! Hope to see you then!
