Cocktails & Banana Splits PJ Party

Even though Regionals was canceled last weekend, a handful of didn't get word until we had already driven out and checked into our hotel room. So we did the best we could do and made the most of it… the Cocktail & Banana Splits PJ Party went on!!!!

I had made up these little cards for everyone to have when they checked in at the front desk…

After lots of cancellation/snow storm drama and dinner, the evening started off with Banana Splits and Cocktails…

We had stuck the ice cream outside in the snow before we went to dinner so it would stay cold… only when we got BACK from dinner there was about another 8 inches of snow and the ice cream was BURIED… here's the sight out our window trying to uncover the ice cream!

After we loaded up on those, we played a game… have you ever played "SPOONS"? Well, we played that but with stamps instead of spoons and called it "STAMPS"!

I made a cute little jar to hold the stamps in, and covered the deck of cards to look pretty and match

The top winners got these chocolate candy bars, they were all done with the Kaleidoscope DSP, but there are a couple variations…

Then I had some door prizes, here's the first, a basket with lotions and such…

This water bottle reminded me SO much of the image from Friends 24-7, so I just had to get it and stamp a tag with that stamp set to coordinate!

And then in keeping with the ice cream theme, I picked up these little ice cream coasters and address book and made a coordinating tag with an upcoming stamp set from the Summer Mini Catalog!

So much fun despite the snow!!!

Jen’s Beautiful Photo Holder!

It's time to share with you one of the most WOW projects I've ever seen!!! The Design Guru of our Team, Jen Rios Raner, made this FABULOUS Photo Holder as her Secret Santa Gift Exchange and it now hangs proudly on my office wall!

She put the "heartfelt" sentiment on it so that it could be used to display a Team Photo, which I fully plan on doing once we get our new Team Photo taken next week! I've got all of the past ones already in frames, and I really felt that this special frame needed a black and white photo so that the colors didn't detract from the beautiful artwork.

Here are some close ups of different areas, first her darling butterflies and flourish – she TRACED this flourish from a Decor Element and cut it out by hand!! Yeah, WOW!

Here's an upclose of her glitzy heart and pieced together Decor Letters from various word sets:

She created the magnets out of Build-A-Brards!

She even created a coordinating gift box for it… Seriously!

I can't even begin to put together a complete supply list for this amazing project, but I can tell you that it's all done with Thoroughly Modern Designer Series Paper, the motifs come from "Friends 24/7" and the butterflies are done with the butterfly punch.
