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!!!

Shoebox Swap for Me!

PRAY FOR GOOD WEATHER FOR US!!!! It's looking like we're going to be getting some weather when we're all trying to drive into Regonials. I'm optimistic that the weather men are either wrong or blowing things out of proportion…. And if they're not, well…. then I'm optimistic that the people who are charged with taking good care of our roads are going to be out there doing their best salting and plowing! So because we WILL all be there on Friday (and some on Thursday, we WILL, we WILL!) Here is my Shoebox Swap!

ALY'S HELPFUL HINTS:

• This stamp set is a set from the upcoming Summer Mini Catalog! It's called "Sweet Scoops" and is a darling build-an-ice cream stamp set.
• I did the "kissing" technique for the ice cream scoop top – I stamped it in Pretty in Pink Classic Ink, then inked up the sprinkles in Rose Red and stamped the sprinkles onto the ice cream scoop stamp, into the Pretty in Pink Ink, instead of on the paper. Then stamped the image once it had both colors on it.
• The cherry was done in markers, and has Crystal Effects and Dazzling Diamonds Glitter on it.
• The background cardstock was all done with the Scoring Blade on my Paper Cutter!
