Open House - here's how it went!

I had my Open House event at Community Wise on Saturday morning and, to my relief, it went well.. I can't thank Pat enough for coming down from Bromley to help me - she was absolutely brilliant! We set up our displays in the large hall upstairs and soon began to receive visitors from the Farmers' Market which was on in the car-park and inside the centre. Seven ladies took part in my Make & Take - a Christmas card featuring Dasher and the Spiral punch - and all of them produced some really lovely cards.

 At 11.30, Pat did a fantastic Make & Take, again to seven ladies, using the Vintage Vogue stamp set and Very Vintage wheel. Some of the ladies were toally new to stamping, yet they still managed to create beautiful cards.

I didn't manage to take many photos on the day - and forgot to take any of the cards we made.. so I will post pictures of those soon. Thank you to all the ladies who participated in our Make & Takes, and to those who came upstairs just to see what we were up to.. it was a lovely day and we really enjoyed meeting you!

For those of you who completed a Door Prize Entry Form - the winner of the Darling Dots stamp set was Janette - congratulations, I have emailed you and will get your prize to you very soon!

Stampin' Up! Open House - Saturday 25th September

There's an exciting event coming up which I'm thrilled to tell you about.. I'm holding a Stampin' Up! Open House event on Saturday 25th September. It's going to be held at Community Wise in Eastbourne from 10am til 12.30pm, timed to coincide with the monthly Farmers' Market and Craft Fair... so there will be plenty of great reasons to come along and pay us a visit!

The Open House will be held in the large hall upstairs at Community Wise (it will be signposted!). There will be displays of scrapbook layouts, mini-books, cards, three-dimensional projects such as gift boxes and gifts, and home decor items. Along with my friend and fellow demonstrator Pat, we'll be holding demonstrations and 'Make-and-Take' sessions - there will be free goodie bags for anyone who signs up for a session in advance.

If you'd like to join in a Make-and-Take session, please email me to reserve your place. There will be two sessions - 10.30am and 11.30am, each lasting 20-30 minutes. There will be small charge of £1 for the Make-and-Take sessions which will include all you need to make a beautiful card, plus an envelope!


We'll also be holding a Raffle - fill in the Door Prize form and you'll be in with a chance of winning a lovely Stampin' Up! goodie bag.

I hope you can come - Pat and I would love to see you there!
