It has been a whirlwind past few days! We had a 3-day long course swim meet in the sweltering heat all weekend, which our Lynchburg YMCA swim team hosted, and then a summer league dual meet last night and we are all exhausted - especially my kids, the swimmers! But that is what summer is all about - getting to swim the meets in an outdoor pool. Thank goodness I was able to schedule my posts the last few days... I have been falling into bed each night completely wiped out from the heat and humidity!
Today I am going to share some favorite cards from this past year featuring Hostess sets - as you well know, these are only current for the year that they are in the Idea Book & Catalog. Speaking of Hostesses, I am having my annual Hostess Appreciation Event tonight and look forward to sharing fun times with 24 of my hostesses from this past year. I will share photos and details on that tomorrow! They will be the first to receive their BRAND NEW catalogs along with fun make-n-takes, a chocolate fondue fountain, gifts, incentives and door prizes. Sounds like fun, right?! If you want to be invited next year, be sure and host a workshop or private stamp-a-stack or join one of my clubs at least once during July-June!!
These first two cards feature the hostess level 2 stamp set Wings of Friendship - my downline and I have been affectionately referring to this as the "fat bird" set (along with the Spring Song bird). I really love this birdie! These are two cards I received while swapping with other demonstrators at Convention last August.
These cards feature the hostess level 2 stamp set Asian Artistry - the top card is one I created for a stamp-a-stack and it is a CASE of one created by my sister, fellow demonstrator Cindy Blekas. You can find her original card here on her blog. The bottom card was designed by Jody Sutula and I made it at a shoe box swap at Convention. I like the fun fold of this card and the colors are great - rich razzleberry with always artichoke and very vanilla.
This last card is also a card I received at Convention while swapping - it features the hostess level 3 stamp set Kind & Caring Thoughts. I love the fall colors!
