InkSpots Monthly Meeting

Today is the montly meeting of my stamping group, The InkSpots. This year we have 9 ladies in the group. We are set to begin at 11 this morning. The cards for today are both cased from events I attended this year. The first card is from SU regionals in San Antonio; the second is from Penny Thomas, my upline leader. Hope you enjoy them!

These are the cards we did at out January InkSpots Meeting. The 2 cards on the left were cased from an upline event I attended last month. Penny Thomas treated us to a day of stamping and a wonderful lunch. She pampered us beyond our wildest dreams. It was awesome. The final card on the right uses another set from the Occasions Mini, but where I got it is escaping me right now. I changed up a couple of things but for the most part it uses the original design.

The cards above were cased from StampwithTammy. Aren't they great? This is a great layout for any occasion. Just change up the DSP and you are off and running!

I am sooo late in posting this. Things just kept getting in the way--know what I mean? Anyway, below are the pictures from the February meeting of the InkSpots. We all had such a great time. Amy, our hostess, brought a great lunch, and Lesli brought the best cupcakes ever in honor of my birthday. I have to say the Velvet Elvis was the best cupcake I have ever eaten. Serioulsy!!! I am sure I will be going to this place for a second helping real soon.

We completed 3 projects this month: 1 card, 1 explosion box and 1 votive wrapper . The latter two porjects were new techniques for the group. The votive wrapper involved the embedded embossing technique. I have been seeing this technique everywhere and we had to give it a try. It was so easy and the effect is great. Great on card fronts too.

Here is a picture of the InkSpots! Aren't they the best looking group?

This past Saturday, the InkSpots meet for the first time in 2011 and welcomed 2 new members: Diana and Monique. We are so glad you have joined us! It will be great getting to know both of you better as the months go by.

The group made 3 cards-all Stampin' Up supplies. Everyone loved the new Cupcake punch and stamps.

I cased this card totally from stamperdog,com. The corderoy button is an old Stampin' Up item that has been retired. I just loved everything about it.
