Ride from the Flower Market

Today's challenge was to use two of my current favorite colors. I am loving Fresh Fig and Island Indigo and they look amazing together! I stamped the back end of the bicycle and added some pretty flowers. I also snuck in a few fireflies from the Jar of Love stamp set. I mounted my bicycle on a piece of Fresh Fig and went to dig for some DSP. In my scrap stash, I had this piece of fun dotted DSP from the Scenic Sayings Paper Stack (retired). Perfect pattern to show off my bicycle but not compete with it.

Spring Stampin' Up! Bingo

Last Saturday, I hosted my first every Stampin' Up! Bingo Party! And it was awesome! I had seven ladies join me for a fun afternoon of games, crafting, snacks, and socializing. I created prize packs for eight rounds of bingo. Each round's prize was valued at between $10 and $20 dollars. For example, Round one's prize was a pack of 2016-2018 In Color Cardstock and the coordinating Markers. Another round included the Summer Sorbet Stamp Set and Rich Razzlberry Ombre Ink Pad. Almost all of the ladies won a round. And those that didn't got to pick from my extra prize stash (mostly retired items, but still great products). Along with Bingo, I created two different make n take cards. Everyone followed my basic design for the dragonfly card, but they went all different directions with the Scenic Sayings card. I love the variety of cards that were made. The event was so much fun, I think I'll schedule another Bingo party for August or so. Just in time for the Holiday Catalog!
