Attended my first Stampin' up party

My super awesome aunt Dagmar invited me along to a stampin' up party today. It was nice to get out of the house and hangout with some other lady adults. Who by the way were all very friendly. Everyone brought a small dish/snack today, I introduced them to my famous cherry delight cobbler.

The hostess April Lopez modeled how to make cards and a adorable little box. Then she had us make our own cards. They were easy to create, except I had some trouble with the bow. If you want more information about stampin' up I'm sure she would love to help you out. Her email is StampinApril.com.

I enjoyed the company and learning something new and look forward to the next meeting.
