WeeInker Meeting

I’ve been trying to get to post some pictures of my downline/sideline meeting of the WeeInkers that we held last week!    Finally I have a few minutes, although laundry and mending are calling my name!

We had a brief business meeting, then got down to stamping and swapping!  Here are a few pictures of Barb, Carol, Lesley, Kathy, Laura and Shawn:

We also did swaps:

Every single one of these swaps was fantastic!  Barb’s had a separate piece of acrylic, diecut like a vase…..Carol’s had pockets and tags---so cute!  Lots of thought and creativity went into each and every one.  And I confess that I get to gabbing and socializing and I didn’t take pictures of all the 3D swap items we had, but I did get one of the tote that I won, made by the clever & fabulous Kathy!  Take a gander at this:

Kathy said the pattern came from the talented demonstrator, Lynn Pratt…..and  it is a wonder of paper, ribbon and brads!!! 

If it looks like we’re having fun,  and you want to too, now is the time to become a demonstrator!   You can sign up with Stampin’ Up! for $99, take advantage of free shipping and you can customize your kit!  Email me if you have any questions!  Then YOU’LL be a WeeInker, too!

Swaps Galore!

At last Sunday’s downline meeting, I was fortunate enough to receive LOTS of nice swaps!  The stipulation was that they had to be made with products from the mini catalog!  Here they are:

Hopefully you can find some inspiration from these beauties!  Thanks for visiting today!

Downline Meeting

Last Sunday I had a downline/sideline meeting for my Stampin’Up! group, the WeeInkers!  We always have fun chatting, swapping and stamping!  Here are a few of the projects that were shared:

Carol made a cool box, decorated with a baby wipe technique panel and the new cupcake punch:

Another view:

Penny made us all nice little calendars (she got her idea here):

and that clever gal Kathy made a cute little penguin to decorate a hand-gel holder:

Here’s my make & take (although the girls wheeled their boxes with the Cornelli Lace wheel---mine is naked):

Now here are some of the WeeInkers and friends in action:

Sue & Kathy

Lesley, Penny and Alison

Laura, Barb and Shawn

 

and Connie and Karin.

Carol is intent on teaching her make & take!

I’ve decided to take a little blog vacation for the next couple weeks, but I promise to  post all the swaps that were exchanged  very soon!  I do have a Paper Players card to share with you tomorrow, so be sure to stop back!!

More Swaps

It’s a gray, rainy, lazy day here in PA and I have stamped anything yet today, so I thought I would share with you the remaining swaps I got at my WeeInker meeting!

This little cutie is from our hostess Laura;

This gorgeous creation is from Georgette;

check out the inside, using a portion of the embossed image from the front:

 

and another beauty from Charlette;

And just because Georgette is so nice, she made a special card for me:

and even though Penny couldn’t attend, she brought this pretty card over later:

I have so enjoyed these cards, and am looking forward to Regionals in Baltimore on October 2!!!  More swaps!  Hopefully I’ll be back later today!

WeeInker Swaps

On Sunday, I held a WeeInker meeting for some of my downline and sideline members!  We always have fun when we get together!  We did some swapping, so I thought I’d share a few since I don’t have anything new to share right this moment! 

Carol K demonstrated this little cutie made with Heat & Stick powder and cinnamon—a scratch & sniff card!

These two were made by Karin and Barbara---can’t remember which one made which, though—sorry!

And Kathy made this wonderfully-embossed peek-a-boo card!

Shawn made this funny “witch in a dresser” card, cased from Stampin by Genny……what a hoot!

I’ll save the rest for later!!!  Have a blessed day!  Oh, okay, I’ll sneak in a couple pictures of Cassidy from our jaunt to the pumpkin farm yesterday:

Don’t you just hate it when your ears get folded back while in your stroller?   But check out the John Deere outfit! :D
