Stampin' Up! Christmas Party

I sure had a busy stampin' weekend! After holding my last hostess club meeting for the year on Friday night, I spent Saturday getting ready for a Christmas party for my SU! demo group. Five out of six of us were able to get together, have lunch, visit, talk a little business, swap some cards and do some stamping. We had such a nice afternoon!

My upline and I made these peek-a-boo boxes filled with M&M's for everyone...they turned out so cute! Directions for the peek-a-boo boxes can be found here where I posted a Halloween version. We also gave the group a Pretties sampler kit which we packaged in these little gift bags I made for everyone. They are just like the ones I made here, only I used the Horizontal Slot punch at the top and added some wired ribbon for handles. Both the boxes and bags were made using the Mistletoe wheel & Punch Pals. Colors used are Mellow Moss & Ruby Red.After we swapped our cards using the new Level 3 Hostess set ~ Time Well Spent, we had lunch and then we made the coaster calendars that I posted here on Saturday for our make & take project. This is my upline Karman showing the cute swap card she made for everyone, while Beth Anne looks on.
This is my downline ~ Jodie & Bea showing their coaster calendars. Sorry you're a bit out of focas Bea...I'm still getting the hang of using my new camera!
Jodie made Karman and I this beautiful holiday journal using the Holiday Harmony Double-sided Designer Papers and Theater Ribbon Originals. I just love it! Now I'm kicking myself for not purchasing that paper pack while it was still available! Thanks again for such a thoughtful gift Jodie!
Tomorrow I will share the wonderful swap cards we exchanged. Everyone did such nice work...can't wait to show you! For now I need to go and finish my Christmas cards!
