Finally I have time to put up some pics-and there is a lot-from my Fabulous Frigid February Stampfest held at Caribou Coffee shop in Downtown Lake Geneva, Wi.

I almost forgot to take pictures and as guests were leaving I realized-oops-get that camera out. I get to excited and too busy and forget many times to take pics. I know a lot of you are customers and a few Demo's out there interested in how I hold my events and when I actually remember to post a photo or two-you are Happy! :0)

I brought in an extra table for the Big Shot station. Good thing too, since it became very crowded. Caribou Coffee was super busy since it was so Sunny and almost 45 degrees. It was even hard to find a parking spot. One almost thought it was the Summer Months. Almost.

Here are the Projects:

We made the following:

An Ice Cream Birthday Greetings Card

A Spinner card

A Vintage, Shabby, Distressed card

A Candy Treat idea-Chocolate-of Course and since it was the day before Valentines-some of the candy reflected that.

And Finally-The Big item which had many parts to it was the DVD Notepad case with pen.

I decide to make it Vintage looking. Everyone agreed it was their favorite. Here are some pictures up close.

Inside^

and Inner sleeve.

I will put the other pictures up in a day or two.

My Thanks to other Demo's out there who have shared their ideas and a technique or two that I cased and made my own. I hope you enjoyed seeing this memo case design-all mine. I like to give credit when I can. (Barb M. for the Birdcage idea and Chic n Scratch for the Ice Cream card and of Course Sudsol).

If you would like my Fabulous Frigid February Stampfest Kit-I can mail to you for $18.00 which includes the items to make the projects and the Instructions with pictures. I take PayPal.

If you just want the instructions-It is $3.50 and I will send you the info once I receive your payment by PayPal.

I told you there was a lot here-Thanks for sticking it out to see all of it.

Here are my daughter's Valentines for her Kindergarden class. They had to have them early on Friday because the school has special things planned on Monday. I think as they kids get older they don't want the school completely out of control. Besides, it was time to break out the Build -A-Bear. Stay tuned for more ideas of this great item-S.U. Exclusives. The red Glimmer Paper is a Wonderful accent.
