Stampaway USA XXII - Class #3

I'm pleased to report that I survived another year at Stampaway.  Taught 4 classes to great students.  Shopped like a crazy person at the Friday night preview party.  And the drive through VA, WV, KY and OH was just as wonderful as the drive home back through those very same states, but on a different route.

Turns out I'm not the only person who likes playing with inks and paints, stencils and dabbers, punchinella & mesh tape.

I scattered Ranger inks across all the tables and gave everyone a chance to play with multiple palettes.  And they did an extraordinary job.

My favorites used to be Butterscotch, Lettuce, Wild Plum, Stream & Red Pepper.

And since I still own more than a dozen of each, I packed them.  But I also packed Pool, Sailboat Blue, Raspberry, Citrus, Sunshine Yellow and Orange.

Ahh, the endless possibilities.  The combinations were quite cheerful.

This was one of the supply tables after everyone had grabbed multiple foam stamps and stencils to play with at their seats.  Never let it be said that I don't pack enough supplies to inspire!

Hard working girls.  Happy girls.  Girls with inky fingers.

Lisa was all smiles but Peggy was far too involved to pose for me.

As you can see I also packed my Clearsnap Magic Stamps, or Pen Score as they called it a couple of decades ago.  Still love that stuff and I wasn't the only one.

This was a 3 hour class and I don't believe a single person left early, although we did have a few guests drop in to see what all the laughter was about.

I spread out some old favorite foam rubber stamps by Junkitz, discontinued but still much loved to use with the Dabbers.

And yes, I packed the Distress Paints, but kept them on a table up front because they're totally different and I wanted these ladies to appreciate the differences.

Hope you'll come back tomorrow to see photos of the other classes and hear about them.

Do come back, won't you?
