Downline Meeting September 13th

I had the privilege of going to my first downline meeting. I went with Lana (my upline) and Tamara (my sideline) to Kathy's home - she has a wonderful place to stamp and had so many things planned for us. It was a blast and I can't wait until the next one!!

I'm going to share some of the projects we did. We had a showbox swap (my first), and then we played with our Big Shots. I learned a lot that day!!

We also had a swap with the new McDonald's Set "Say it with Scallops." So with the visiting and playing it was a very fun day. Somehow I'm missing some of the cards (possibly I've already used them!!) If I find them I'll add them later

Stamp Set: Upsy Daisy
Card Stock: Pink Pirouette, Riding Hood Red, Bella Rosa Designer Paper, Whisper White

Kathy had this card for us to do. One tidbit which I found really interesting. When she punched out the scallop edge on the Bella Rosa, it left one very thin strip (about 1/8" of an inch) - we then used that strip across the Riding Hood Red. What a good use of leftovers!! Great tip Kathy!! Now I have a little tin on my desk with all the left-over strips!!
