Hi Stampers,
Next weekend my Stampin' Up! team will be having our Annual Favorite Things Gift Exchange - it's a fun end of year party tradition I started with them a few years ago - and we REALLY look forward to it each year now!!
It's a great way for us to get to know a little more about each other - and find a few new "Favorite Things". If you've never been to a Favorite Things Party it's really fun - here's how our party it working this year. Everyone picks our one of their favorite things that cost around $10. Buy 3 of that Favorite thing - Wrap it up (of course with a Stampin' Up! flair) and then at the party we draw names to see who's favorite things you get. I've learned a lot about my Create Ink Stampers through the gift exchange - and found a few new favorite things I can't live without now :)
So I'm busy this weekend doing my wrapping for next weekend's party - So I can't show you that yet - but I do have the Invitations that I sent out to my team members.
In previous years I used a traditional Red and Green color scheme - this year I wanted to go with something a little different. So I took inspiration from the Favorite Things Song - specifically the lyrics about Snowflakes and Silver White Winters :) because Winter is one of my favorite things... and this is what I came up with.
I printed out the greeting on Whisper White card stock. Next I stamped some snowflakes in Smoky Slate, Wisteria Wonder, and Lost Lagoon using Endless Wishes stamp set. I used the Frosted Sequence to add the silver shine to the snowflakes, then added a little Basic Gray Baker's Twine. Elegant, Quick, and Easy!
