weSTAMP APRIL MEETING & SWAP

Last night was our monthly Stampin' Up! Demonstrator Meeting & Swap, weSTAMP. Lorri and I had so much fun planning this meeting, we must have called each other 5-6 times that day with last minute things! Our weSTAMP group has only been meeting for a few months, and most of our members are new SU Demos and new to stamping! Let me tell you, these fine ladies just step up their swap cards each and every month! I am so proud to be sharing them with you!

First, I've got to share with you the excitement and anticipation of our swaps! It is very similar to opening presents on Christmas morning! Everyone gathers in a circle ... the first person starts their pile of swap cards around the circle with each weSTAMP member taking a card. You should hear the ooohs and aaahs as the swap cards are passed around! Lots of comments swarm the room like "OMG! That is so cute!", "How did you do that?", "Which stamp set is this?", "How did you come up with this great idea?", etc. The swap is definitely the highlight of the evening, and we always save it for last.

This pocket card was our Make 'n Take (the very first thing we do at our meetings) provided by Diana Knight ... This was the door prize provided by Jessica Blair, and won by Ginny Schembri ...

Our swap theme this month was Masculine Birthday or Father's Day. Here they are ....
