Friends who don’t let friends stamp or wine alone
A few weeks ago I spent a fun Saturday stamping with friends. I love getting together with these ladies. I’ve gotten to know them through Stampin’ Up! because we are all in the same demonstrator group. One of the many benefits I’ve enjoyed as a demo. We share ideas, we share our adventures, our joys and problems, but mostly we laugh and have a lot of fun!
For this get-together we had two swaps planned and lunch. In addition we usually have one Make & Take project. As one of the co-hosts for this event, I volunteered to design this one. Since we were also having a surprise “stock the bar” wedding shower for Diana, I had to use the Mixed Drinks stamp set. Right?
We usually keep the Make & Take fairly simple. I knew I wanted to use the friends don’t let friends wine alone saying. Once it occurred to me to use the Delicate Details stamps (from the Sale-a-Bration catalog) as a sort of tablecloth image, the design fell right into place.
Tip: One of the nice things about photopolymer stamps is that you can put them together on one block. I lined up these two stamps so they were even. Then just ink it up and stamp.

Celebrate my Stampin’ Up! Anniversary with me!
January is my anniversary month as a Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator. This year its a milestone anniversary – number 15. When I signed up I thought I would do it for a year or two, but here I am 15 years later and still loving it!
Rather than just celebrate one month I’ve decided to celebrate all year long. I’ll be sharing my 15 year journey over the course of the year. I’ll have some fun things for you, my customers and friends, such as a monthly drawing, a party later this year, and a few more things that I am planning. Let the celebration begin!
I’ll start with the monthly drawing, but first a short trip down memory lane. Here’s some photos from the catalog of 2002, the year I signed up.
