The Stampin' Up! new year for the
Dazzling Divas began with the August meeting. After convention, I did some restructuring of the group. The Dazzling Divas meetings are exclusive for the downline of Barbara Welch, Levels 1 - 5 are invited.
We met at the home of Barbara Welch on Thursday, August 11th. There was laughter, delicious food and stamping of make & takes. Swapping is always a high point of the evening.

Pam showed us how to take 2 milk carton die cuts and make this adorable octagon box. She was inspired from a class we took at convention in July.
I had a
special surprise for everyone; I made altered File Folder Note Pads for taking notes at the meetings. There were 4 different designs that they could choose from. I had all the pieces cut and they chose what they wanted to finish it. Here is mine:
