Megan has been asking me for a kids scrapbooking class for the longest time.  Today was our first class and let me tell you we had full house in the studio.  Megan did most of the cutting, punching pieces out and assembling the kits.  She wanted to take charge.  She called a few friends and had a full table of her own to teach them while I helped out at the other two tables.  She is truly inspiring and for sure a future demonstrator.  She has all the qualities:  she placed calls to invite her guests and had 7 just by herself.  That's pretty exciting.

We made a card and magnetic book mark to encourage the girls to read Stampin'up! Style, we also made a mini scrapbook album, played bingo and finished the day with ice cream.

Here are our projects.  The card was a swap from convention and I love how I could make a book mark out of it.

Here is the inside of the mini album.

Bingo stamp #120851 is a hit.  Today we used itty bitty bits to stamp on the inside.  Next month we will be using Spooky Bingo bits.

Kids from 6 to 12 came to our Ice Cream Social Club and they were all capable of making the projects.  Bingo was a hit! and they love Memento mall prizes:)

If you know a child that would love to scrapbook, email me as next month is our Halloween Ice Cream Social.  Come with your Halloween Costume, play fun games and make Halloween projects.  Details below:

Yesterday was fabulous.  Shelli was on a roll, funny and entertaining + I have to case her projects from Main stage, simply gorgeous.  Memento Mall had beautiful things, the best part for me was to see my customers and some demonstrators inside a My digital publication. Stampin up created a my digital show on the go kit and pictures from my workshop of a lifetime were in it.  So some of my customers are now famous!  lol

Stampin up announced big changes that will be on their website, we had to wait for them to disclose before talking about them.  I didn't check the site, but great things are in the works for 2011:)

The evening dinning and party was organized by Stampin up, from shopping to Memento mall to demo booths, to pure entertaining the evening was fun.  The best part, we got to create projects for Ronald McDonald and Today, Shelli get's to choose a winner:)

It's been a while.  Sorry I have been doing lots of workshops in the beginning of July and then left for a week to attend stampinup's 2010 convention in Utah.  As I was getting ready to post again, my dear husband decided to surprise me and when I got home he said:  unpack and repack, I am taking you to New York City for your birthday.  So It's already August and I am ready to roll.  In the next few weeks you will see changes to my blog.  So stick around!  I had planned to post about convention while I was there but forgot my camera cord, how sad was that.  So I will be posting with my creative stuff a few highlights.  I also have to do a little housekeeping and write about a few promotions that are starting today.
