Ann sneaked away to get a chance to stamp with 24/7 Stamper Susan at a Shoebox Swap a bit over an hour away.  I could’ve gone, but I felt I should stay home and keep my favorite huMAN company.

She and Susan were the first ones to get there and meet Denise.  Now THAT’S a first!  They met up with Valory from the 24/7 Stampers when most of the group went to dine at Olive Garden afterwards.   (Just another one of those Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator perks.  Good food!)

It was a smaller than usual group this time due to the holiday weekend.  PLUS our stampers like Moana and Jo who came last time are up in higher altitudes where they’ve been getting lots of snow.

The theme was for Occasions Catalog and Sale-A-Bration Catalog items.  Here’s Denise’s card that features the Birthday Blooms stamp set on page 9 of the Stampin’ Up! 2016 Occasions Catalog and the Wink of Stella brush.

And here’s Susan laying down some color with the Aqua Painters on this card.

How to watercolor

Ann brought home lots of nice card ideas.  And she even won a prize that Liz made!
