Columbus Regionals Again

Shelly usually does her opening presentation about a project that she is working on at home.  This time she demonstrated Baby Shower favors.  Shelly's daughter is pregnant with twins and they are planning a baby shower for her.  She demonstrated for a very simple but adorable favor box for the shower they are having for her.  It is made by using the #2 Box Die.  The label is spritzed with Smooch Spray.  Just a way to glitz up a project.

 This was the swap that I made for the small group that I was with at Regionals.  It is a small notepad which I made using items from the Sale- A- Bration brochure.  The DSP I used is available in the brochure as well as the cute skinny ribbon that I used to tie around the notepad.  You can only get the items in the Sale - A -Bration brochure by ordering $50 worth of product and then you can choose an item from the brochure.  You can choose from stamp sets, embossing folders, ribbon, brads, buttons, and paper which are in the brochure.  I absolutely love the DSP in the brochure.  It is so vintage looking and there is a co-ordinating stamp set which goes with it.  

This next picture shows this notepad from the inside.  I love the pocket inside which can hold stamps, notes, or coupons.  It is a very practical gift.

The last picture I am going to share with you today happened after the Regional Event.  Jen's group and Susan and I went out to dinner to a quaint small place with fantastic home cooking.  While we were there, Shelly came in with a few others from SU for dinner also.  One of the women from Jen's group had told Shelly about the place where we were eating at the Regional.  We were so surprised that she had decided to go there.  But Shelly saw us and came over to our table.  Here we are just chillin' after Regionals.   Stamping, sharing ideas with other stampers, getting new ideas, and time spent with good friends. What a great day!  Enjoy your day!
