Pre ~ convention party

Monica held a pre- convention party on the night before the convention started, this was the first time that I had met Monica & she is a human Whirlwind in the loveliest way possible. The party ran so smoothly we had a handmade goody bag, a quiz, lots of swapping and some make & takes.

It was a lovely evening & a great ice breaker to prepare us for the craziness of the next day at convention. I have already added some of the pictures from Monica's inspiration boards.

So here are the the make & takes that we did.
The first one I made was 6 x 6 scrapbook page.

 Real red, Crumb cake  & Chocolate Chip Cardstock, twill tape, Brads & Beware pirates stamp set.

The second was a cute Christmas card

Welcome Christmas stamp set with Chocolate chip ink, Real red card stock, very vanilla & Chocolate chip cardstock & Old Olive Satin ribbon. The wreath image was stamped onto very vanilla cardstock in Chocolate Chip ink. To make the berries we used the 1/8" handheld punch & punched holes in the cream card before layering it over the real red cardstock so you could see the red showing through.

Thank you Monica for a lovely evening it was a pleasure to meet you.
