Tulsa Regional!

Saturday I attended the Stampin' Up! Regional meeting for demonstrators in Tulsa, OK. What a fun day! We had informative and inspiring presentations, took pictures, ate chocolate, received a new stamp set and also got to stamp! We made several cards and two scrapbook pages! I'll be sharing those with you soon!

Here's our group during the Make 'n Take stamping. L to R is Kimberly (Robin's upline), Robin (my daughter and upline), myself and Stacie, my downline. What an enjoyable day!

This is the card I made for a Splitcoast swap at the Regional using one of my favorite sets, Always. It was a small swap but fun, and I got to meet some ladies in person that I had "seen" online, so that was a great treat! Stamping is all about relationships so what fun to meet new stamping friends, and some actually live fairly close to where I live! We talked about getting together and stamping sometime!

Don't you just love the filigree on this bird stamp? I embossed him in White ep to give him shine and dimension. The background rectangle is white glossy cardstock done with embossing resist: Stamp in VersaMark on glossy cardstock, emboss in clear, brayer or apply color with sponge then stamp again with the darker ink. Easy technique!

Set: Always. Wheel: Baroque Border. CS: Rose Red, Certainly Celery, Glossy White. Inks: Versamark, Rose Red, Certainly Celery. Other: 1/2" circle punch, BoHo Blossoms punch, White embossing powder, Embossing Buddy, White Taffeta Ribbon, brayer, sponge, alcohol.

Hope you've had a good weekend and didn't lose too much sleep with the time change!

Keep on stampin'!
