Fun stamping weekend

I spent 3 days last weekend at a Stamp Camp down at Camp Kirkwood organized by the Stampin Up demonstrator that got me hooked on stamping 7 years ago. She did a great job with the whole event. And, I loved stamping all weekend. I was able to make the majority of my Christmas cards. After Stamp Camp and with the cards I'll be making at my Christmas Card classes, I'll be so relieved to get all of my Christmas cards done way ahead of the Holidays. I typically wait until the last minute to start and finish them in mid-December. I also stamped a bunch of birthday cards to give out for upcoming birthdays. I have spent way too much money at Target this past year buying cards. My goal is to look ahead and get the cards made a month before the actual dates. We'll see how that goes. Fun weekend planned. My son's last football game of the season is this weekend. And, we're celebrating my niece's 4th birthday. Amazing how quickly they grow up!

Look how beautiful it was at Camp Kirkwood! What a gorgeous place. And, besides the awesome scenery, the food was amazing throughout the weekend.



And, do you see all of the plastic containers inside the black crates along the windows? These are all of the stamps that Anita brought for the group to use. Can you say that I was in heaven?!?!?!



Here's the card I made for my niece. Very simple design and fun with the glittery frosting.


Have a great weekend!

Three days would hardly be enough time to get my hands on all those stamps!! Sounds like you had a wonderful inky time.

I'm completely jealous that it's only October and your Christmas cards are almost finished...I might have to do store bought again this year...gasp!

Glad to see you are blogging again!
