BINGO Night

     Now you’re probably thinking, what in the world does BINGO have to do with stamping or scrapbooking.  Well, hang on because here’s my explanation.
     I am going to be getting rid of most all of my retired products.  Now some of these retired stamp sets have been used very lovingly  In fact, they have ink stains on them.  Some of the ribbon aren’t full spools.  Some of the brads or eyelets are full packages.  There may be sheets of scrapbook (DSP) or almost full packages.
I’ll lay these items on a table.  For 1 hour, we’ll play BINGO.  When you…

yell out BINGO! you’ll get to walk up to the table and pick anything from that table to take home with you.

when you bring a friend that I haven’t met, you’ll be able to walk up to that table, pick out your free item and take it home

when you purchase over $50 of Stampin’ Up! goodies (the same night as BINGO), you’ll get to pick out something on the table.  Plus you’ll get 10% off your order.

If you book a workshop, you’ll get to pick out 2 items off the table and receive 10% off your next order

If you sign as a demonstrator, you’ll get to pick out 3 items off the table and get to go to convention with me!!!  Yay!!!

     We’ll play as many BINGO games with that 1 hour time frame as possible.  So when, where, and what are the other facts?  Here ya’ go!

Cost:  $5 – this is to cover the cost of the pizza and drinks.  We’ll eat before the BINGO game starts at 6:45.  You may eat and drink during the BINGO game, but the game starts at 6:45!!

When:  Thursday, September 9

Time:  Be there at 6:30 to fill your plate with pizza, get a drink and find a seat.  The BINGO game starts promptly at 6:45 and will end promptly at 7:45.

Where:  My house

How many games will we play?  As many as we can fit into 1 hour.  After all, it is a school night and we all need our rest. 

This should be tons of fun!  So come on.  You’ll need to let me know if you’re coming just so I can be sure to have enough pizza and BINGO cards!!!

A couple of questions…

Hey ladies,

Please take a second and participate in the poll(s) below.  I would much appreciative!!

So, how did the Christmas Stamp-A-Stack go?

The Christmas Stamp-A-Stack was great! The best thing about it was I got to meet 2 new ladies. Their names are Leisa and Kelly. Both are very nice girls. I hope you get a chance to meet them.

There were 5 ladies that attended and we made 150 Christmas cards in about 4 hours. Not bad huh?? What’s the second best thing? Everyone that attended now has her Christmas cards made. Yay!!!! It’s August and our cards are made. What an accomplishment!!

Check out the pictures below.

If you’re interested in attending one of my events, just shoot me an email at ellen@volstate.net.  I’ll send you a schedule so that you can see what the next event will be!

Christmas Stamp-A-Stack *** 8/14/2010

Hey Ladies, I thought I would just take a few minutes and post my Christmas cards for the Stamp-A-Stack (SAS) on Saturday morning, August 14.  This event starts at 10 am and will be over at 1 pm.  The cost is cheap!!!  You may do 15 cards for $15.  You may do 30 cards for $27.  You’ll notice that these cards are very simple.  I made the cards simple so that they would be quick and easily duplicated.  If you’ve been stamping for a while now, you may also notice that I used several older stamp sets.  These are sets that are my personal favorites.

There are 2 different sets of cards that you may choose from.  For simplicity sake, I’m calling them Set 1 and Set 2.  In each set, there are 3 different designs and you’ll make 5 each of each 3 designs.  You’ll end up with 15 cards.  Make sense?  When you sign up for this event, you’ll need to tell me 3 things:

1)  Which set you would like to make.
2)  Do you want to make 15 or 30 cards.
3)  Do you want envelopes?  If so, please add $4 to each set of 15 cards.  The envelopes will be a either vanilla or white to match the card.

So, what do the cards look like?

Set Number 1

 

 

Set Number 2

Okay, it’s time to give me a call or email me (ellen@volstate.net).  Come on now, let’s have some fun!!!

Who is attending?  So far, we have:
Marsha
Mary Jo
Toni
Kelly F.

Scrapbook Club & Beach

Below is the last scrapbooks that our club made back in July.  I love the colors on these 2 pages and adore the DSP!  The ladies in this club titled their pages “Lazy Day’s”, “Sunny Day’s”, but the older I get, everything is “Hazy Day’s!”

This next card is just one that our stamp club did.  I’m planning on doing this on a scrapbook page in our new scrapbook club.  I may even ask the ladies from our last club if they would like to come over and do this on the side.  Not part of the club, just something a little extra.  I think it would be pretty cool!

This card just makes me want to pack my bags and head for the beach.  I love this card!  It’s actually a super fast card to make and is great for swaps!

And….the winner of the BIG SHOT is…
