I have been a demonstrator for Stampin' Up for almost six years and haven't had the chance to meet other local demonstrators. So LaVonne S and I arranged a meeting which we had in December. What fun!! I believe there were 12 of us who attended and we had a wonderful time getting acquainted! One of the things we really enjoyed was a card swap. And I wanted to share all the cards these talented ladies made! So over the next few days, you will see them!
First we did a "Make 'n Take". Just what it implies. We made a card while we were together. I received inspiration for this card from Penny Smiley!. A wonderful and creative lady whose talent I admire!

You can't see it real well, but we stamped the little deer from Make a Mitten Stamp Set with VersaMark and then enbossed with clear embossing powder. Just wrapped the sweater trim around the "wrists" and adhered with a mini glue dot.
We used Stampin' Write Markers to color the mug, so we could get the "chocolate" and then made a slit for teh steam. Mounted the mug and mittens with dimensionals.
