Christmas Party Creativity

On Wednesday December 16th the YW are going to be having a christas party and since I am in the Presidency and get to help plan this kind of stuff I volunteered to make the invitations. I absolutly love to do these creative kinds of things. So last night my mother took me to the scrapbook nook after her cub scout meeting and she (along with the super nice lady Emi) helped me pick out the stamps, colors, ribbons and chalk pad color.

Real quick, here is the story about Emi: I went to the scrapbook nook back in september and I had been wearing my Personal Progress Medalion and she recognized it and commented about it. Turns out she is LDS too and I thought that that was SO cool! When I went back last night she was there again and so I asked her for help with some of the color scheming and such.

Last but not least, I found out about the coolest thing ever! So there are little acrylic stamps but they have no back or wood on them. Turns out that you purchase acrylic blocks and the stamps work like window clings and they stick to the acrylic block when you want to stamp. Then when you are done you just peel it off. It re-sticks and is fine and the best part is that the acrylic block you mount it on is clear so you can see exactally where you are going to stamp! No more guessing and messing up! It is genius and I am so greatful for wonderfully smart people who invent brilliant things like that that I get to pour my money into :))
Anyways, here is what I spent my night till 11 pm doing:

Pretty! I am so excited to have all you girls over. Can I make something warm to drink for everyone? What else should I do?

Very cute! I love acrylic stamps and blocks. So much better than the wood ones! Have fun at your party! Jenni is the perfect hostess.
