Last of December's lunch bunch cards

Guess it is about time to finish up the last of December's lunch bunch cards since I have just finished a new batch of them for this coming week.  With Stampin' Up!'s Leadership in Orlando starting on January 28th (it's very late this year), I had to schedule my monthly lunch bunch and Aerubbecisor gathering a week early.  Now I am busy trying to figure out my swaps and downline gifts for our last leadership conference.  It is sad when things come to an end, but SU is changing it's global emphasis and we Americans have to be the ones to change to meet the new global initiatives.  We are losing our titles and will be named after precious metals.  I will go from being a Director to being a Gold, whatever that means.  Hence without leaders you really can't have a leadership conference. This all takes effect next fall so we all have time to adjust......maybe!  Since my main emphasis on my business has always been fun and friendship, I am really concentrating on that and plan to enjoy these years of semi-retirement with my stamping friends.

Here are the two remaining cards from the past month's Simply Stampin' Lunch Bunch.  The first one was my own design utilizing the stamp set that we received at our big nationwide preview of the Occasions catalog along with the Best Ever Year Designer Series Paper from the Saleabration free selection.  I added the fun crazy pompoms and thought it turned out kind of cute.

I cased this card from another demonstrator, but it has been so long ago that I don't remember who and my sticky note is long gone.  I think it was either Tami White or Dawn Olchefske, but don't hold me to it and I did tweek it a little.

With my Seahawks playing tomorrow, don't expect a blog from me (not that you ever do).  I have my workshops projects for the month to share plus now there will be more lunch bunch cards plus our embossing folder swap held over from December due to too much going on.  And my husband's birthday is Monday so we will head to Portland to shop and have dinner so somewhere in all of that, I will try to find time to post.  Hugs, Sherron
