Another Stampin' Up Workshop

I had my 2nd Stampin' Up Workshop last night. First one to do 'solo'...without my upline (Jan Farring) there to help me out!! I was not as organized as I would've liked to have been, but it went well!! Thanks to Michelle Bracey for coming over (all the way from Eugene)!! She was a big help getting all of the card stock cut! Thanks, Michelle!!! Two nights before the workshop, I thought there would only be about 4 people there...which was kinda disappointing, but there ended up being 8, which is just about perfect!!! And the exciting part of the 8 people being there, was that 5 of them were brand new to Stampin' Up!! Yay!! So, knowing that most of the people coming were either brand new or fairly new to stamping, I kept all 3 cards pretty simple...but their creative juices started flowing by the time we got to the last card, and nearly all of them turned out a little different than the one I had made! Good job, ladies!! The funny thing about the cards I made is that when I got to the third (and final) card, I realized that I hadn't used any of the paper from the Stampin' Up paper packs that I had ordered specifically for that workshop!! BUT, we did make good use of the new 'In Colors', and some of the new stamp sets from the new 2011-2012 catalog, so that made up for not using any of the new paper! Ha! Also, I sold ALL of my 2011-2012 catalogs (except one for myself). So...more catalogs are on their way!! If you'd like one, please let me know. The cost is $5.00....or host a workshop, and get one for FREE!! :) Here are the cards we made...

 'In Colors' used on this card...Calpyso Coral, Pool Party, and Island Indigo. Stamp sets are Delicate Doilies, and (retired) Perfect Pairs, for the words.

'In Colors' used: Lucky Limeade, and Calypso Coral. The writing is from the new Swirls and Curles Verses hostess set, flower stems from the (retired) Bold Blossom set, flowers from the (retired) Punch Potpourri set, and flowers punched using the Boho Blossoms punch. Basic Pearls in the center of each flower.

'In Color' used: Wisteria Wonder. Also, used the new Lace Ribbon Border punch (LOVE THIS). The 'Thinking of you" stamp is from the new Swirls and Curls Verses hostess set, Butterfly and verse from the Flight of the Butterfly set, and punched with the Butterfly punch. Basic pearls on the butterfly, and the Wisteria Wonder card stock is embossed with the Perfect Polka Dots Embossing Folder for the Sizzix Big Shot.
