Various events and obligations kept me out of the stamp room this past week, but today I ended that terrible cycle!  My good friend and downline, Amber, came over today to share the stamp room with me and to get our creative juices flowing. 

We had good intentions and grand ideas - complete swaps, work on our display boards, talk a bit of "shop", etc.  Well, let's just say we didn't quite get through everything, but the truth is, it was SO good to spend 4.5 hours with Amber today.  And, we DID stamp!

Here's a picture of Amber in action:

And here's a picture of the two of us working on the vintage card we created:

 
And, finally, guess what?  My beautiful daughter, Rachel, all of a sudden wanted in on the party too.  Rachel doesn't exactly share my passion for papercrafts, but every once in awhile she likes to make something quick for her friends.  Today she created a birthday card for one of her friends from college.  It was nice to see you get your hands "inky" Rachel!

 I have a busy few weeks coming up as I am preparing for my monthly stamp camps, three swaps and a Stampin' Up! Workshop at my house next Saturday.  If you are in the Central Florida area and are interested in attending the workshop, please contact me so I can share the details.  The new catalog is filled with exciting new products and I would love to introduce them to you.

Off to finish creating!
