5-17-10 IWIA Stampers Meeting

It's the end of the school year, and our attendance at the meetings have been quite slim. But those who do come, come prepared to work on their projects and win door prizes.

Mary Ham, yup... with 3 weeks to go until the little one is here, came. This is one of her projects from the CTMH Card Kits.

Alice came, and is typically scrappin' her heart out. But alas... she is succombing to the darkside and making cards. She did a really great job!!!

*** WORK IN PROGRESS **

Rachel was working on gifts for the teachers in her children's school. Her children attend a school where the mascot is a bluebird.

And Rachel was also making these adorable baskets;

Tahh dahhhh... Here is Rachel showing off her masterpieces.

It is truly great to see everyone who comes. I know the Moose Lodge loves seeing us there. Please come and invite your friends and family to come along too!

Sketch Challenge Cards aka the April-Rachel Sketch Cards

HAHAHAHHA... I thought it would be a good idea to possibly put out a challenge to the stampers in the group. There are several 'templates' or sketches online, and we posed a monthly challenge. Those who accepted the challenge, their name would go into a drawing. One name will be chosen to take ALL of the cards made in the challenge. So far, April and Rachel seem to be the two in the running... Here are their cards....

I know this isn't very clear... but here was our first sketch challenge;

May will be yet, another challenge.. I wonder if only April and Rachel will submit cards again??? HAHAHHAHAH!! Only time will tell...

Sorry for the delay!!!

When you look back at times in ones life, it makes me have such a happy heart to know it's filled with friends. The IWIA Stampers have become such good friends. These women have come together, some didn't know who each other was, and are so terrific and wonderful. The baby shower was so successful. I know Mary was so touched by everyone's participation. Thank you so much for your outpouring friendship.
