Dream Night Make & Takes

It was a Tropical Party - or it will be with the ideas that we got at Dream Night using the Tropical Party stamp set and products that go with it.  Check these out.........

A set of 3x3's and holder and a goody bag holder. (This one had Swedish fish in it - perfect to go with the theme!)

A card (perhaps a Thank You) and a decorated favor box.  Two magnets to go in the favor box.  Don't know if you can tell by the picture but I used my friend Kim's idea to pop up the leaves of the palm tree - thanks Kim.  I also wrapped some linen thread around the image.   The magnets need some Crystal Effects to complete them.  I added a So Saffron fringed circle to the flower for the center.  Gave it a little pizzazz. 

A pocket card and envelope.  Do you like the striped straws?

A scrapbook for 2010 (not 21!)  We also got a bunch of 6 x 6 papers for the inside!

The invitation, including a response card and the floral belly band that holds it together.

A nifty little scrapbook that holds a lot....

....opens up once, twice,

..... and more.  This will hold 8 photos. 

I just found time last night to put finishing touches on these projects.  We worked to get the majority of the project done that night and left little things to finish at home like adding buttons, trims, and coloring of the little drink umbrellas.  Next step will be to actually add pictures to the albums. 

We got all the ingredients for making these projects plus the Tropical Party clear stamp set and a clear block.  We also got a scallop border punch, snail, and a craft keeper to put it all in. 

It was a great evening - I always enjoy stamping with my INK friends. 

I'll have more pictures of our 3-D swap in a day or so. 

Dream Night

This past Tuesday I attended a SU event at the Short Hills Hilton hosted by Dawn Rapsas one of SU's demonstrators who earned a Workshop of a Lifetime with Shelli Gardner.  Dream Night was an opportunity for demos as well as customers to come together, swap, do make and takes, swap, eat dessert, speak with Shelli, eat dessert, speak with Dawn, do make and takes, and generally have a great time. 

Take a look at this cake....... 

This cake was made out of fabric and paper.  The fabric rolls you see unrolled into a lovely little bag.  The butterflies were beautiful embellishments for the cake made from card stock, vellum and glitter.  

Isn't it totally cool?  Some of us got Shelli to autograph it on the bottom!  It is made using the Scallop Square die in the Big Shot.  It even has pockets on each end.  Both Shelli and Dawn had pajamas made from the very same fabric.  (We were supposed to wear pajamas if we wanted to.) 

Speaking of cake - I didn't do any card swaps, but I did participate in an Anything But a Card Swap among the 8 people we had in our group.  I chose to make my Zero Calorie Cake and  a little box to put it in. 

  

I was really pleased with the way these came out although they took longer than expected.  You just can't create by the clock all the time!  

Over the next couple of days I'll be sharing more pictures from Dream Night with you. You'll also get to see the swaps that I received.   These ladies are really talented and we really had a great time together.
