Thursday evening I was blessed to host the Central Iowa Stampin’ Up! demos for our annual Christmas dinner and party.
Marcelyn Churchill, my sweet friend and team mate made Triangle Boxes which we filled with Steve’s fudge for a table gift.
Everyone made an ornament from the Be Merry Kit as a make and take. The ornaments were much bigger and cuter than they looked in the catalog. If you haven’t bought a kit yet, you should. You do need a hot glue gun to put them together.
Marcelyn also made these tea light Poinsettias in mini coffee cups.
Marcelyn made five strings of Paper Lights Garland. The colors are Tempting Turquoise, Elegant Eggplant, Emerald Envy and Real Red and Smoky Slate. The ribbon is the Quilted Christmas 1/4″ Ribbon from the Holiday catalog. Yes, Marcelyn was a busy elf. Not sure what I would do without her!
We also had a gift exchange. Everyone made beautiful gifts using current Stampin Up products and wrapped the gifts with Stampin Up products.
I made the Christmas Sampler for the gift exchange and also Splitcoast Stampers Creative Crew December design challenge.

Thanks for sharing the highlights of the evening.
Hi Lynda
Barb doesn’t have a blog or FB page yet, but I told her you love her project and gave her your email.
Blessings,
Beth 🙂
I realized on Friday that I had not E-mailed you for details of when the party was. I looked back for a time but it just had the 30th. My loss, it looked like everyone had a great time and I would have loved to meet everyone. Gorgeous projects!
I apologize to MARCELYN in misspelling her name!!
I have pinned the CS lights garland..maybe I will finally get a string of them made..like her idea of using ribbon rather than string or jute.
What a lovely table setting and the table scape is gorgeous-love the garland outlining the mirror and Marilyn’s additions to it all.
Very crafty, creative demos in their gifts-all were so pretty!!
Thanks for sharing with us.
Unsure on the “shares” until I see what it is.
Love these projects.
Would Love to see if Barb Kingsley has a blog or FB Page.
Have Googled her and come up with not a lot.
Are you able to help me at all???
I love her Hearts Come home XL Christmas Bauble.
Thanks
Lynda S…..SU demo Sydney Australia. oxox
