Hostess Appreciation

Last Sunday I held my annual Hostess Appreciation party.  I appreciate each of my hostesses and love holding workshops for them. The best part though is introducing stamping to their friends & family and seeing new stampers eyes light up and fall in love with this hobby.

I served them lunch and treated them with lots of SU product.  It's fun to spoil them a bit!  I also made them each one of these:

I used thick chipboard that comes in our specialty paper packages and our Glimmer paper packs.  It's perfect for these clipboards.

I cut them to 9 1/2" X 6" and covered them with our new Prints Paper, adhering the paper with glue stick. I rounded the corners slightly with a scissors and sanded the edges smooth with a sanding block.  These colors are Coastal Cabana, Melon Mambo, Real Red and Elegant Eggplant.  (I specifically chose these colors because a few of my hostesses love Pink, Red & Purple. 

I purchased the notebooks at a local office store and the large clips at Target.  The pens are RSVP pens that you can remove the end from and slip a rolled up piece of dsp inside the pen to match.  Just tie some ribbons on to jazz them up a bit.

Thanks so much gals!

Hi LeeAnn,

Is the darker area above the note paper a magnet strip? Thought that would be a nice addition.

Beautiful!
