2010 Holiday Mini Open House

On Saturday September 28 I had my first ever Open House! It was a lot of fun and went better than I was anticipating. Really I did not know what to expect, but I was very pleased! This first picture is of my invitation that I hand stamped and sent out.

Recipe:

Stamps: Serene Snowflakes, Snow Swirled, Sanded
Paper: Very Vanilla, Always Artichoke, Cherry Cobbler, Soft Suede, Brushed Silver
Ink: Always Artichoke, Cherry Cobbler, Soft Suede
Tools: Sponge, 3/16" Corner Rounder, Scallop Edge Border Punch

I had to have some stamping for everyone to do. So browsing through the Mini, I was inspired by the tags that are on Page 21. This is a CASE of one of those.
