Back in the day when stamp camps were 5 cards and it was mostly a group of friends who got together to make cards, we did what we called "Shoebox Swaps". All the materials needed for a card were placed into a shoebox (or other similar container) then that container was passed around until everyone had made that card. It's more challenging to try to do that with 10 cards, especially if a card shares a tool with another card, but I am trying out an edited version. The containers will stay where they are, but all of the materials for the card are kept inside so help minimize the mess. It can definitely get confusing when you the materials for the card you are making start travelling across the table! I hope this helps make it a little bit easier and simpler to stamp, especially when it's crowded!

 

I started off the stamping year fresh with a big order of brand new stamps and supplies! There were too many cute new stamp sets in the latest catalog and at the stamp store to pass up. You will get to use all of my fun new toys over the next few months! I hope you enjoy.

Open House

We're settled enough to start tiptoe-ing into Stamp Campin' again! The kick-off open house invites went out and I hope to see many familiar faces there. I am hoping that my friend and fellow-stamper, April, comes with her fabulous spread of Tastefully Simple snacks but if not I'll be sure to provide something yummy to nosh on while there is stamping going on. We'll see how many people this house can hold!

I haven't quite decided what we will be making for the open house. I have quite a few stamps I was unable to use for Valentine's day that I may try to incorporate into some more general cards..

For those who cannot make it and want to know when the next 'real' Stamp Camp is going to happen, I am aiming for a couple of weeks from now with the Kids Birthday Cards theme!

I hope to see you soon!!

Ch-ch-ch-changes...

We are moving this month, back over by 112th near Costco. I am not sure yet if the new house will have more room for stamping or not, but we shall see.
Chances are there will be no Jan stamp camp, I will try hard to do one in February but no promises - I will keep everyone up to date on the progress.

Thanks!
