Demonstrations at Puyallup Fair
2012

I just had a wonderful time demonstrating at the Puyallup fair this year.  I have demonstrated there for about 15 years.  I have met some wonderful people and there are some who have.... "Too many stamps" so they are purging them.   And a gentlemen who's mother passed and he has her stamps to sell.

Once they follow me.  I will post more.  So if anyone is interested in purchasing slightly used stamps.  Let me know.

For the people that I met at the fair whom want to sell said stamps, leave me a comment on my blog through your Facebook or your own blog. :D

I just love the fair.  I met this lady named Carol she was so sweet, I shared my techniques with her, and I made a card for her.   I met this family where one of  the little girls stamped so I showed her some techniques and shared a card with her and her sister was admiring my work.  I asked her sister if she wanted a card and her parents informed me she was deaf.  I signed to her and asked her if she wanted one of the cards and I used my sign language to ask her if she wanted a card too?  I let her choose one of the cards I made previously and signed it for her.  She was ecstatic that I signed to her, I could see it in her face.  Another lady came along who was just starting stamping, she and her friend's husbands worked the homemade wine and beer booth.  I shared techniques and two cards for her.  And  another lady came along and she was very interested in catalog parties and I gave her some names of people that could help her and her daughter get into stamping and scrapbooking.   The last lady I shared with I made her one of the try-fold cards  and I signed it for her.  Everyone was very happy with everything I shared.

I love to see the whole fair the best way is the Sky-ride.






 While test driving a car when coming  back we got  our own personal view of the clydesdales and their wagons so awesome!

 Love the Pink Ribbons on these horses for Breast Cancer awareness.



There's the Farris Wheel right behind the horses makes for a great picture. :D


The little ponies where so cute with their wagon.


Fun had by everyone!!

Oh I had a wonderful time demonstrating at the fair.  I demonstrated layering, Christmas Snowflake card. A quilt type looking card with a bird for a Thinking of you card.  And a try-fold card.  They all  turned out wonderful.










It's fun how you have an idea to start with and then you have different endings afterward.  :D  Like these cards inspired me to do other cards as follows:





I believe if you just start stamping your stamps then you can get inspired to put embellishments around them to make  them stand out.  !!  :D Leave me a message on my email or blog if you  have any questions. :D

This is the free Stamp SkDigis gave me. and I saw this Owl and thought it needs a Moon.  So I took a Picture of the Harvest Moon I had and printed it out on paper and Colored my Owl with Copic Markers and Attached to Googley Eyes  and added a Little Orange to the frame creating my first Halloween card of the year.!! Happy Halloween!!
