Here's a peak at what we do at the meetings....


Are you interested in learning more about Stampin' Up, seeing some great demonstrations, have questions you want to get answered or just want to spend some time with the gals??

Have you already purchased the starter kit (or are thinking about it??) and are in my downline??  Then come be recognized for your efforts with the new Royalty Pot Drawing!!  I'm giving back 10% of my team commissions to my downline!!  

We'll also be making some fabulous cards to donate to the local organizations like the cancer center, commission on aging, etc.  These cards will be used to brighten the lives of people in our community.

There is no cost for this event.
Just bring scissors and adhesive to help put the cards together.

We'll also have a show-n-tell table, too - bring any current project you've made and your name will be entered into a drawing for a chance to win a fabulous prize!!

New people are always welcome at our Inkspiration Nights!  Won't you join us??

Just email me with any questions or to RSVP to amy.frillici@yahoo.com.

I hope you have an Inkspired day!!
