Shoe Box Day

Today I attended a Shoe Box Day in Pudsey, organised by the lovely Julie, my S.U. Grandma, where about twenty Stampin' Up! Demonstrators came together for a day of fun and crafting.  Each person made a project such as a card, scrapbook page, box, etc in advance, from current or new Stampin' Up! products and made up kits for nine other demonstrators.  We started about 10am and passed our project box to the person to our left so everyone had a different project to work on for about 30 minutes and the project boxes went around the table to each person in turn until everyone had done them all. We had an amazing buffet lunch, so much choice and the most amazing cupcakes.

I made 10 projects, as shown above, which include a lovely Halloween goody bag, complete with clear mints and liquorice, some sweet little crackers filled with choccies, a little gift box, a cute square gift box with a little gift card holder inside, five fantastic cards and an amazing double eisel card.  My project was a 5 3/4 " square scrapbook page themed around love, using the Artistic Etchings stamp set.   Caroline's project was a gorgeous card where you stamped a stunning background and spritzed it and added some musical scores using the Stampin' Round tool, a new addiction of mine. I love all the projects and it was fabulous doing so many different things and surprisingly nobody brought anything that was similar to any of the other projects.  Huge thank you to Julie for organising such an inspiring day.
