Welcome, everyone to the official kick-off of Stamp-a-faire 2014! I know some of you are waking up at 4am on the west coast this morning to join us! Now that's what I call dedication!
I wanted to share one of my favorite songs, which just happens to be appropriate for today's theme!
Can you believe that the big day is finally here? All of us have been busy behind the scenes making preparations for months and we are so excited to finally start showcasing everything we have been working on! Today promises to be an amazing learning opportunity for everyone, no matter their skill level! Not to mention the fun you will have rubbing elbows with other stampers from around the world! To kick things off this morning, we have a Morning Timer Challenge to get your creative juices flowing.
We are providing you with 5 color schemes and 5 sketches to choose from! You can use the graphics below to make your choice, or you can download them in printer-friendly format to add to your binder.
Your challenge is to pick one color scheme and one sketch to whip up a quick project you can be proud of! Gather a few supplies then set a timer for 20 minutes. See how quickly you can make design decisions as you work against the clock! A great way to warm-up for all of the stamping that lies ahead! So put on some of your favorite stamping tunes (something peppy to get you moving, you know?), grab your cup of coffee AND LET'S GET STARTED!!!
