Inkredible Stamping

I had the monthly Meet-Up for my Create, INK team tonight and the theme of the evening was Julie Talks TOO Much! I had so much fun information from Leadership to share with the other demonstrators in my group I don’t know if anyone else got a word in tonight but we still had a blast! I brought back a little souvenir from Leadership for each of my downline and they got them at the meeting tonight. Stampin’ Up had the most adorable little tins in the Momento Mall – they were filled with either Gum, Mints, or Lip Gloss and the were decorated with examples of the new Designer Series Papers in the Spring Mini so this is what I brought back for each of them. To the left is a picture of the tins.

I also took my box of swaps with me to the meeting so everyone could look at my fun new ideas, and following my tradition I scanned all the swaps and put them on CD for everyone at the meeting to take home. I bundled the CD with one of the tins in a cello bag and tied some curling ribbon on the tops, so their souvenir was all dressed up!

I was doing one of tonight’s Make ‘n Take projects – so of course I had to play with my new Spring Mini Toys that I pre-ordered while I was at Leadership (for a great discount I might add). We used the new Spiral Punch, Rounded Tab Punch, and the Office Accouterments stamp set to make this card. I came up with the design all on my own too!!

Debbie also had a great Make ‘n Take for the meeting – we got to play with bleach stamping and you can check that card out in the February Swaps Photo Album. Our theme for the month’s swap cards was Sell-A-Bration sets – there are some great ideas in there and don’t forget you only have until the end of February to earn your Free Sell-A-Bration sets!

Well after that long post you all probably agree with the title! Julie talks too much. But hey team meetings are completely free, you get to make fun cards, and you get gifts from me! We all know how quiet I usually am so one night a month of listening to me talk has to be worth it, Right?
