SU party and blog hop

Last week was the release of the new Stampin Up catalogue. Marit organised a 'launch party'. Although she lives an 1,5 hours drive away, I couldn't resist her invitation. Marit was one of my first blog visitors and we usually visit each other's blogs. Marit also invited 6 others who I met in blogland, but never ever in real life. Great fun it was! We had a really nice day and enjoyed the Stampin Up stuff. Marit offered us two 'workshops'. We made a card and decorated a milk carton. Don't you love that little milk carton? Don't tell anybody, but I ordered that die (and some other stuff as well).  Now waiting for the postman! Marit prepared us a lovely lunch and brownies for afternoon tea. Delicious!! She is a good baker as well!

For the card we got a sketch, a bunch of papers and a nice collection of stamps. Marit made us some clay flowers which we could colour in every colour we wanted (with markers). This is my card:

In the afternoon we made this milk carton. Our little niece celebrated her birthday the day after the party, so I made one for her. She liked it, but I'm not quite sure what she liked: the milk carton or the candies?!

 

And finally an overview of that lovely day!

Marit, thank you for this party! Hop over to her blog to find more information about SU. She organises workshops quite often if you want to join. 

Curious for the other cards and milk cartons? Hop over to Cornelie, Nadine, Bianca, Dora, Wendy and Judith (yeah, after all our challenges, emails and snail mail I finally met Judith in real life! And guess what: she is really a nice person. Just what I expected!) 

Thanks for hopping by!
