I wish I had taken a pictures from this event! When I showed the ladies (14 of them) from the
West Hartford Fellowship Housing (14 of them!!!) the cards they were going to create. They seemed a tad overwhelmed. I heard one lady tell a friend she was going to just do what she wanted with the supplies. This was my 1st time meeting these ladies, so my heart sank a little thinking they didn't like the design.
I chose to demonstrate the Thoughts & Prayers set (p. 150 of the Stampin' Up! Idea Book and Catalog). As soon as I pressed the tree image on the card stock (after using 2 different colored SU Stamin' write markers to ink it), and revealed the gorgeous impression, the room was full of astonishment! Lots of ooh-ing and ah-ing too! The ladies were interested and captivated after that!
I had packets for each that contained everything except the background paper. I wanted to give them the choice.
