Camp Stamp In Oga

Good morning.  I am up bright and early getting this updated for you.
Camp Stamp In Oga what is this you ask........
Well a number of years ago at SU convention three of us local demonstrators were sharing a hotel room with another friend from Texas.  We do this almost every year.  Each year we spend one night (and lots of moments along the way) talking about what we want to do to improve our business.  Well that year we decided to work together and offer a Stamp Camp for all of our customers.   This included supporting our downline too.  We started out calling it "Stamp In".  People came and we had 5 demonstrators that ran a table for 8 people making a card or 3D item.  We offer this quarterly.  We also included a Rubber Rummage sale of all our retired items on the other side of the room.  We rented from a church.  Within a few times we were having to turn people away.  We just could not hold that many people.
As of now we rent a large room and adjacent area and a room upstairs at the Wild Wood Lodge in PeeWaukee, WI.  We have added times to come and stamp, craft, and scrapbook.  Now you can spend your entire weekend enjoying the things we all love to do best.  STAMP.  You can choose from 1-3 days.  Friday afternoon thru evening is open stamping.  Sunday morning thru afternoon is open stamping.  Saturday morning is the Stamp Card portion where we get most of our stampers to come.  Then in the afternoon and evening we offer open stamping along with some break out classes.  It has been a huge success.  Our stampers love that we bring all of our ink pads, punches, dies, embossing folders, Big Shot, etc. for them to use.  They just need to bring their own card stock and adhesive.  It makes it a lot easier for our customers to come without bringing their entire stamping supplies.
When we moved it to the Wild Wood Lodge we decided to rename the event.  The Lodge is very woods and outdoor decorated so we decided it was like girl scout camping.  So we named it Camp Stamp In Oga.  We call out for "mail call" and people staying for Saturday afternoon get a special gift!!!  Those that stayed Friday night get a special gift and again for Sunday.   We love giving out gifts.
This time I will be one of the demonstrators doing a card.  Here is the card I will be doing.

I love love love this stamp set.  It is called Winter Memories.  It is on page 19 of the Holiday Catalog.  The skates reminded me of my childhood.  I skated down the street at my elementary school.  Back in those days they flooded our grass area and made it into an ice rink.  Now I'm dating myself.  But seriously those were such wonderful times.  Skating with boys (Oh MY!!)
OK back to the card.  The card is using our champagne glimmer paper.  OHHHHH that is so beautiful.  The fold is called Double Dutch Doors.  It is actually very easy to make this fold.  I hope you will join us for at least part of the weekend.  You will make beautiful cards and can take pictures of all the displays each demonstrator has up.  We all work very hard to make this a special event for everyone.
