Stamping Bingo Lunch!

On Saturday during our Spring Retreat Weekend I did a Stamping Bingo Lunch! Each of the guests had this waiting for them at their place setting…

All of the boxes were a little different using an assortment of Spring Papers…

Inside each of the boxes was a Stampin' Spot and Mini Stamp for everyone to use as their Bingo Markers!

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!!!

Chocolate Bunny Delight!

Last month at our Team Fabric Day we had a SWAP (of course!) and I received this darling card from one of my Team Members, Patty Braun. Didn't Patty do an awesome job!?

ALY'S HELPFUL HINTS:

• We've been giving Patty a hard time lately because she has been adding Shimmer Paint Mist to EVERYTHING — this card was no exception!! Dear, sweet, Patty spritzed EVERY LAYER with this Shimmer Paint Mist (we really do love you, Patty!). How do you make Shimmer Paint Mist of your own? Put Rubbing Alcohol in a spray bottle and add some drops of Champagne Mist Shimmer Paint (YES, it's STILL AVAILABLE!!!), mix it up and spritz! I'm teaching this technique for one of my U Pick 2 Projects, contact me to schedule a time to learn it for yourself!
• I also just love how Patty created the "grass" – the leaf image she used is from the stamp set "Great Friends" and she just pounced it all over the bottom in different colors – very nice!

Shimmer Paint Availability:

The Shimmer Paint was first introduced in the Holiday Mini Catalog. Even though it is not pictured in a current catalog, it is STILL AVAILABLE as a catalog write-in!! This is terrific news because I just use this paint to death (particularly the Champagne Mist). Here it is if you forgot how it's sold!
