Last weekend I had a demonstrator meeting for my downline, sidelines and any other demos in the area that needed a place to meet with other demonstrators.  It was so much fun!  There were 17 of us total – a full house.  As part of the meeting we did a cookie swap and everyone made cookies packaged in Stampin’ Up! style way.  All the swaps were great and I’ll be sharing them a couple a day over the next few days.  I’ll give you the stamp sets/colors for each project but I don’t have instructions since I didn’t make them. I also took pictures of almost everyone at the meeting so I’m going to mix those in with these posts too.  I’m looking forward to having my next meeting in January – details will be posted later on my PAWS group site on Stampin’ Connection.

Stephanie and Laree

Laree made this cute box using the Fancy Favor Die and the Holly Jolly Designer Series Paper.  The box was embossed with the Petals-a-Plenty embossing folder.  Laree used the designer paper to create a ruffled lining for the box.  The stamp set is Tags til Christmas – a popular one for many projects that night.

A cello bag has cookies inside – she also included the recipe – but I don’t have that right here with me so I’ll have to add that later.

Here is the whole pile of Laree’s swaps.  All with different patterns from the paper pack – Cherry Cobbler, Old Olive and Very Vanilla.  The boxes were Crumb Cake.  Every box looks just as cute as the next one.

Stephanie brought Snowballs – at least I think that’s what these cookies are called and certainly what they look like.  I still have to give all the cookies a try – I figured we would have a selection this week for Thanksgiving if I saved them (or at least most of them)  to share.

Stephanie used cello bags and made snowflake tags.  She used Bashful Blue and Whisper White.

The Northern Flurry embossing folder dressed up the front of the tag.

I was very glad to have Stephanie join us – we just met not too long ago.
