At Stampin' Palooza, you will have the opportunity to use your "Watercolor Trio" stamp set to make 6 complete projects on Saturday (2 on Friday evening at Demo event).

To complete these Make & Takes on site, I suggest you bring the following with you.

If you are coming with a friend, I recommend that you share as many of these items as possible -- this will allow more workspace at your table. Please label everything you bring!

If you don't have all the tools necessary, we will have extras available to borrow as well as I'm sure those around you will be happy to share... that's the way we stampers are, after all :)

MARKERS:

ADHESIVES:

Swapping cardfronts and other types of stamped objects is an enormously fun part of any stamping event, and we want to make sure you have the (optional) fun of swapping!

Here are some suggested guidelines for swapping:

· There is no minimum or maximum number of cardfronts to bring - whatever works for you! To note, we have approximately 50 people attending.

· Be sure to add your contact information somewhere on the back of your swap card, such as a sticker on the back

· Do your best work and have FUN!

Do you have any special needs in regards to food, such as being a vegetarian, or have food allergies we need to know? Please drop me a line so we can take care of you!

To all my coffee lovers out there, YES... we will have the fabulous Keurig machine with us so you can have freshly brewed "for you" cups of coffee, teas and hot chocolate all day long. 

GREEN ALERT!!
If you have your own coffee travel mugs, please bring it along to help reduce the disposable cup consumption!

Oh yes - check out my ummm... sketch challenge response... At least I had fun doing it!

As always, there will be some amazing stamping prizes given away at our next 'Palooza event in June, but the GRAND PRIZE will be truly awesome as we are giving away...

a BIG SHOT die-cutting machine from Sizzix!

Each Saturday registration include 5 door-prize tickets, so you have a great chance at winning this fabulous prize, as well as some of other great ones we'll have on hand.

I love the Razzleberry Lemonade paper! It lends such a rich and exotic look to the Trifold layout. A very special thank you card!

The trifold card is a slight variation on the first Butterfly Trifold that I uploaded. Again, I love the presentation of it when you are finished!

Hello there! Big Shot Brent here again.

In week three, we go 3D with a tri-shutter card tutorial!

Here's a quick note to everyone to announce the name of the 7 piece stamp set from the upcoming new Summer Mini catalogue we'll be using at the Spring Palooza event: "Watercolor Trio".

Unfortunately, we cannot post pictures of this set until the mini is release to the public on May 1.  That said,  once I have my pre-ordered copy in mid April, I *can* share samples made with it... so rest assured that I will!
